Synopsis

“As you think, so shall you become”…“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.–“ Bruce Lee (Little Dragon)

“Chasing The Dragon’s Tail” - Finding Passion in Your Purpose “
It’s all about how we feel, NOT what we think that makes all the difference.

“The only time a Dragon stops Chasing its Tail is when it knows its Heart and it follows its Heart. “

Amongst the many strategies, tools, information, exercises and examples I share with you in this book include and will empower you to:
• create leverage to what you want.
help you to BE who you are.
To find and produce lasting change.
• get clarity on what are your Motivational Drivers - the forgotten but major game changer to success and happiness. To identify your passions and purpose.

Many books on personal development present theories of success, and are focused on specific things such as business, life skills, relationships and so on.“Chasing the Dragon’s Tail”is an easy to understand guide and collection of tools, with real-life examples, that when explored and implemented is guaranteed for your success in life, your career and gaining clarity on your life’s purpose.

In this book I present the best of the best - the core elements for success in an inspirational conversational style. I have reflected from hundreds of resources and thousands of hours throughout 25 plus years spent in researching all aspects of personal and professional development, accelerated learning and my experience as a certified NLP Master Coach Trainer, Life and Business Coach, Musician, Teacher and education administrator; Workshops presenter, Keynote speaker and Coaching clients across corporate and education sectors.

Without focusing on specific vocations, age or industries, I have purposefully focused on helping you find your ‘Passion on Purpose’ in a one of the kind resource for everybody - teenager or student, employee, CEO or anybody that is reflecting on their purpose in their life or in their strive for success in their job, no matter their background. From my own exploration and comprehensive study of in depth personal development I strip it back to the major core elements for you to achieve success in everything.

As a student you will find in the pages of this book has priceless and inspiring information with examples to help you achieve your goals and to empower you in taking control with confidence for your own future in areas such as course selection for your final years of high school, or what to do at college or university. Considerations for your career from areas that interest you and how they reflect your values, motivational drivers, passions and purpose.

Those already well established - you made the right decisions, studied hard, put in the hard work to be the champion you are at home, as a parent, and at work. All of that and more got you to where you are now. However, maybe now, or on reflection you have been looking for something else, but you don’t quite know what, or why? You have some idea, but may not even be clear yet with the Why you want the change? So How do you move forward?

You want to be passionate with what you do, to express your brilliance and have a positive impact in the world. You know you can be even more than you are. Even though you are successful right now maybe there is ‘something missing; you are looking for that ‘something else’? For example maybe you are an ‘aspiring leader’ in your field; a teacher wanting to transition into education leadership but not sure how; a talented team player in your industry that has aspirations and confidence to lead or manage, but aren't sure how or have second thoughts of your ability to do it, or how to even to be considered for that promotion?

“Chasing The Dragon’s Tail’ will implore and inspire you to embark on some self discovery; to discover and live 'Your Story’

We all love a good storyteller. An important element of Your Human Happiness is about your story that you are telling. You must never lose sight of your own story based on your own goals and values.

Make a priority of making time to be your story through living it, doing it and reflecting on it toward achievement of that happy and interesting ‘Journey’ that you want. Don’t wait for just a happy or safe ‘ending’. What’s the purpose of that?

I know, I’ve been there, Chasing the Dragons Tail; done that and got the T-shirt only to find something about ‘making it’ wasn’t right? Until I truly embarked on my own journey of self discovery and had a good look at the guy in the mirror and took a few ‘punches’ and disappointments along the path did I figure it out - my Why!

‘Chasing The Dragons Tail” identifies that often we fill our heads and not our hearts in our drive for happiness, self-worth, career success, wellbeing and balance in our lives. We fill out heads with so much knowledge. We search out the next course for work or self-help seminar that’s going to ‘make me a star’; pursue the next post graduate degree - somehow this develops a sense of entitlement.

Your ‘I've earned it thinking’ approach convinces you that is all you need to succeed. We chase the ‘dream’, the promotion, sometimes achieving our goals, then only to discover we are not happy but can’t quite work out Why?
It gets back to your values. Where are values found - In our hearts! Values Live in Your Heart.

It’s all about how you feel, NOT just what you think that makes all the difference!
‘Chasing the Dragon’s Tail’ aims to Inspire and light your Dragon’s Fire from within. What is directing you! What is your flame?

Have some fun and hit those MAGIC moments as you embark on self-discovery to find your true self, your values, beliefs and motivators. Your drivers and passions toward a happier more fulfilled you.

Enjoy the journey through discovering to live…to be…..Your Dragon!

  • This is not just theories. This book strips back the best of the best and focuses on identifying the core values, the core tools for success and personal development.
  • Lots of real-life examples, personal examples and easy to do activities that will give the reader enjoyment and many 'Aha' moments toward success.
  • This book is guaranteed for the reader to learn and safely identify who they are across the main drivers of success - values, motivational drivers, passions, and mindset.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
