The Power-Based Life by Mike Flynt
If you want to have a “Power-Based” life, you are going to have to refine your focus. In The Power-Based Life by Mike Flynt, he walks the reader through his life experience in discovering his Power Base. If you are looking for an easy step-by-step process, this book is not for you. The Power-Based Life requires delayed gratification, self-discipline, hard work, and humility. You must be coachable and apply the basic fundamentals of the playbook… and you can be successful in nearly anything. What playbook you ask? Mike Flynt explains the playbook and its significance to the power-based life. The history, the heritage, and the wisdom written by the greatest coach ever. We must fight the temptation to allow “life’s luxuries to water down our resolve to achieve something special.” We must realize “no failure is final; nothing is ever wasted.” We need to “invest in suffering” so that we can “receive dividends of our new strength and better understanding.” The power-based life is all about “the intensity of your focus…knowing exactly what is essential and what isn’t…prioritizing the essential things…and dropping the nonessentials to the bottom of the list.”
