I dedicate this book to the people that want more out of life and have felt the calling to go after it. You don't need to think it's impossible because the truth is that everything is possible if you put your mind to it. You are not alone, and there are several of us out here doing what you want and can do too. "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."-Francis of Assisi It's that simple, and you can achieve it all if you keep going and never give up. I personally suggest that you research the individuals I have shared with you to gain more personal progress. They have additional tips to help you through the process. They can teach you new ways to gain access to your peak self and build your dreams. I, too, am also sharing tips and tricks that I've learned along the way. I hope to one day start a podcast dedicated to sharing information such as the text above you to continue helping others achieve their dreams. Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Shannon Ingram. I am the current owner of two businesses. I thoroughly enjoy being a skincare entrepreneur; I am keenly aware of the need to help others with their expectations. I am a single mom of two wonderful children. I grew up in a small town in Colorado, and I am your basic dreamer.

I have always been a soldier. I have known no other life. So begins Alexander’s extraordinary confession on the eve of his greatest crisis of leadership. By turns heroic and calculating, compassionate and utterly merciless, Alexander recounts with a warrior’s unflinching eye for detail the blood, the terror, and the tactics of his greatest battlefield victories. Whether surviving his father’s brutal assassination, presiding over a massacre, or weeping at the death of a beloved comrade-in-arms, Alexander never denies the hard realities of the code by which he lives: the virtues of war. But as much as he was feared by his enemies, he was loved and revered by his friends, his generals, and the men who followed him into battle. Often outnumbered, never outfought, Alexander conquered every enemy the world stood against him–but the one he never saw coming. . . . BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Steven Pressfield's The Profession.

"I believe that life is meant to be conquered, and that a creative, intelligent psyche - a self-aware, self-directed thinker - is an unconquerable force." To see this force in action however, to grasp this creative strength and wield its power in actual life, requires one to both think and act in a disciplined way: to both see one's world through a disciplined frame of mind and construct one's goals through a disciplined style of behavior. The strength to conquer one's creative potential, therefore, first begins with the strength to conquer one's self." ~ from pg. 1 of How to Conquer Yourself What is willpower? What is discipline? Productivity? Self-motivation? How can we internalize these traits, making them our habitual style of behavior and natural process of thought, rather than the exception, both in the short-term and over the long range? Why do some of the most creative, intelligent, consciously aware and sophisticated thinkers we know still have trouble making constructive use of their talents and skills? What would your life be like - what would your drive and ambition unfold into - if there were no impediments to their authority or expression...if you were constantly at your prime, indefinitely? These are the questions this book answers, amongst many more. These are the solutions it provides and the new dimensions it'll open up for you, once you take the step to check it out. CHAPTERS INCLUDE: How to OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION How to Attain Discipline How to Build Motivation How to Raise Productivity How to Develop Systems How to Cultivate Willpower How to Conquer Yourself: Discipline and Willpower for the Conscious, Creative Thinker is specifically about how artists, musicians, graphic designers, film-makers, writers and other creative professionals can best refine their behavior and discipline themselves for success in their respective crafts. It's specifically written to serve as a strategic blueprint helping you to cultivate the motivation and willpower your goals necessitate and demand of you. Because let's face it: if you're a conscious, creative person, just as the work you prefer to create is free-formed, liberal and self-expressive, the path to success you need to pursue is likewise undefined. That's the catch-22, the "negative side," to having artistic talent...you can never be too sure that it'll become something significant (in the material sense) and that anxiety will continue to undermine and sabotage your focus until you put a framework in place. Remember this: if you don't develop a science and a methodology to sustain both your artistic skill and your ambition, you're going to end up neglecting and sacrificing both, which'll lead you to, eventually, neglect and sacrifice a central element to your identity; to lose sight of who you are as a person. But again, when you're creative, just as the work you prefer to produce is freeform and self-expressive, the path you need to pursue is likewise freeform and undefined, so as a conscious, creative person, you need a lot more discipline than the average bear - you need, in fact, more willpower than the average person is even capable of envisioning. If this person is you, if this subject interest you at all, this book was written for you. Check out How to Conquer Yourself: Discipline & Willpower for the Conscious, Creative Thinker now...

For fans of Nicola Yoon’s Everything, Everything, Emery Lord’s When We Collided, and Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl, Anna Priemaza’s debut novel is a heartwarming and achingly real story of finding a friend, being a fan, and defining your place in a difficult world. Kat and Meg couldn’t be more different. Kat’s anxiety makes it hard for her to talk to people. Meg hates being alone, but her ADHD keeps pushing people away. But when the two girls are thrown together for a year-long science project, they discover they do have one thing in common: They’re both obsessed with the same online gaming star and his hilarious videos. If they can stick together, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—the kind Kat never knew she wanted and Meg never believed she'd find. “Kat and Meg Conquer the World will hit home for anyone who has ever been waist-deep in fandom, doubt, or new relationships; Kat’s and Meg’s unique voices are outstanding, and their friendship brings this story to vibrant life."—Francesca Zappia, author of Made You Up and Eliza and Her Monsters
