Tim Marks New Book - Confidence of a Champion

The LIFE Business just keeps getting better and better. The content is world-class, the leaders are world-class, and the products are priced to be the best value in the leadership profession. How do they do this? Simply by placing profits secondary to purpose. Orrin Woodward said from the beginning that LIFE was more building our purpose on business than building a businesss on purpose. Because of this foundational principle, LIFE can pay out 70% of PV and still keep the value proposition better than any competitor. For instance, Tim Marks is completing a new book that will impact so many people. It is published by LIFE and the community will benefit by the information and the revenue shared with the field. Win-win-win is an unbeatable combination. Confidence of a Champion is a page-turner and will help anyone who has struggled with low self-esteem. Here is Tim Marks and Chris Brady's description of the book.

For thirteen years now, I’ve been building communities and one of the things that I see quite often is people lack confidence and belief in themselves. In the LIFE business and the world at large, there are a lot of great books out there that teach many different aspects of confidence and self-esteem.  In my new book, Confidence of a Champion, my goal was to create one book that brought together the best strategies to help you identify why you might have low self-confidence and self-esteem, and how to get on the path towards fixing it.  Read what bestselling author Chris Brady has to say about it!

God bless, Tim

FOREWORD by Chris Brady

There are many books that are entertaining, while others are informative.  Still others are profound, and some stir the reader to action.  Once in a while a book comes along that accomplishes all of these in one whack.  The book you are holding in your hands does just that.

Tim Marks is a most delightful author, mostly because his writing, like his life, is a straightforward adventure.  In our many years of friendship, I have been privileged to see Tim from a vantage point that allowed insight into his real character.  I’ve seen him under attack, in pain, hurt, and exhausted.  I have also seen him win huge victories, achieve stellar recognitions, and hit difficult goals.  Through either extreme, Tim has remained the same admirable person.  His consistency is certainly one of his most dominant traits, along with the penchant for action that throbbed throughout his first best selling book, Voyage of a Viking.  In addition to consistency and an action-orientation, Tim also is very honest about personal limitations and weaknesses that many people would more naturally mask or cover up.  Because of this, Tim’s writings come directly from the heart with no trimmings or dressing.  What results is a “what you see is what you get” style that resonates with readers of all backgrounds.  Candor, it seems, is a most attractive quality in a writer.

There are lots of books on self-improvement, personal development, and success and achievement. Upon reading through much of the genre, some of the material can begin to seem repetitive, and at times, even a little shallow.  Confidence of a Champion is radically different.  This is true partly because books on the internal mental game of confidence are rare, if not downright nonexistent.   But it is also true because such a book could not be written by anyone except someone like Tim Marks, who not only strongly experienced each of the pangs of low self-esteem confessed in these pages, but also grew confident to the point where he later felt secure enough in sharing them honestly and openly.  Further, and more uniquely, Tim Marks teaches from a position of significant success, a position that required the overcoming of a lack of confidence to a degree most people never even approach.  The extreme between the “before and after” Tim Marks is one of his most instructive devices.

One additional unique quality of this book that bears mentioning is its disarming humor.  Often surprising and abrupt but always on point, Tim’s self-deprecation is as attractive as it is witty.  Again, this comes from Tim’s total refusal to pose as anything except himself.  This, too, is an object lesson that supports the overall aim of the book.  If Tim can grow comfortable enough to poke such fun at himself and the silly situations that surround us in life, perhaps others can grow to that level as well.

If you are a person who has ever suffered from a lack of self-confidence (and really, who among us hasn’t?), or would simply like to grow more confident, then this book is for you.  It delves into the very core of confidence itself, and expostulates some of the most credible theories to explain it.  But far from being a theoretical book full of musings, Confidence of a Champion is nothing if not practical.  Applications, tips, and recommendations for growing one’s confidence are scattered throughout.  So turn the page and begin a learning adventure that just may turn out to be the most important step you’ll take all year.  No matter who you are, you will get something special out of this book.  Of that, I am confident!

Sincerely,

Chris Brady

Can't wait to read it! I know of a lot of people who suffer from lack of confidence in themselves and their world around them. After following leaders like Tim Marks, Chris Brady & Orrin Woodward I know for a fact that these men walk the walk and will do anything to help a hungry person to grow to their highest potential. This book should be just the latest tool in our arsenal to do just that. Thank you Tim for bring a selfless leader of leaders.
