Millions of people are spending billions every year, on success theories and recipes only to experience a loss of their money and time. The end result is always discouragement, depression and failure. Jack reveals the appalling truth about this crisis and provides a simple solution. He proves that writing down goals is a waste of time. The list of success formulas is quite lengthy and what Jack’s research shows is that if all these things worked, everyone would have what they want -- but they don’t -- even though these formulas have been taught for 75 years. Jack successfully blows apart these false recipes for success imposed on the American public since the 1900s! He proves that there is a simpler, more effective way, to create success in all areas of life. There’s only one thing that works – knowing what you want so badly that you will do anything or become whatever it takes, to get it. But -- that’s the problem --- 97% of the people can’t accurately identify what they want that badly! Jack solves that problem. His provocative message is being called a “break through” and “wake up call” for millions of people seeking the elusive butterfly of success.
