My Book Is Finally Out + A $50,000 Giveaway

Here's something you probably never think about. For every minute you spend reading or listening to content, you're trading your time for someone else's effort. And what if I told you that 5 hours of your time could give you access to 15 years of someone else's best ideas, failures, and breakthroughs? And his maximum brain leverage essay in Forbes, Steven Kotler laid out a really striking what he called the exchange rate.

00:00:25:02 - 00:00:46:12

Between the time you invest in the intellectual value you receive from different mediums. He gives three very illustrative examples. First, a blog post. Let's say it takes you about 3 minutes of your time to read. And behind it, the author probably spent a couple of days researching and writing. So you're trading 3 minutes for three days of someone else's effort, which is a pretty good deal.

00:00:46:14 - 00:01:06:10

Now, take a long magazine article. Maybe 20 minutes of reading, but the author might have spent a month or two reporting, interviewing, writing and revising. So again, you get months of expertise for less than half an hour of your time. So let's bring a little bit closer to home. Even a podcast like this one. What you're hearing might take you 30 minutes to listen to.

00:01:06:12 - 00:01:28:21

But on my end between prep recording, editing and production, it's usually at least 7 to 8 hours of teamwork to bring you that short burst of value. Now, here's where it gets wild. A book, a serious book is often 10 to 15 years of the author's best ideas, experiments, failures, lessons and breakthrough condense into 5 hours of reading.

00:01:28:23 - 00:01:51:12

That's thousands of days of efforts handed to you in a single neat package. And that's the point. The return on your time is exponential. Blogs are good. Articles are better. But books books are where you get the biggest leverage for your time. And that's exactly why I wrote Elite Performance. So if you've been finding value here on the podcast, just imagine what you get when you dive into the book.

00:01:51:12 - 00:02:12:14
Itamar Marani
It's the full system refined over years, all laid out for you in a systematic process. So if you're serious about taking your next step, downloading the book is the single best return on your time you could make today. So there's some bad news and good news. The good news is that on top of all the value you get from the book, we're also running a massive giveaway.

00:02:12:16 - 00:02:33:00
Itamar Marani
We're giving away over $50,000 in performance coaching packages. We have never done anything like this or probably never going to do it again. And entering is super simple. All you need to do is buy a copy of the book, take a screenshot of your Amazon receipt, and follow the link to the free coaching raffle in the show notes below, which explains exactly how to join the raffle.

00:02:33:02 - 00:02:56:09

So this means that you could win $50,000 worth of coaching directly with me for the cost of a cup of coffee. And this isn't fake value. These are invoices that my clients actually pay on a consistent basis. Now, the bad news is that as your podcast listener, the audible version is not available yet. However, the good news on top of that is that the raffle is already open, but it ends on October 20th.

00:02:56:10 - 00:03:19:00
Itamar Marani
So that means that you want to enter as soon as possible, so you have time to complete extra bonus challenges or an extra raffle tickets and maximize your chances of winning. Now I understand that if you're listening to this, you probably prefer consuming your content in audio form. So the really great news is that on October 8th and ninth, the e-book is going to be completely free on Amazon and you can find the link in the show notes below.

00:03:19:01 - 00:03:45:08

So you can punch in your entry into the $50,000 worth of performance coaching raffle with me personally for absolutely no money. Then once Audible version is released, you will also be able to download that and listening to it in the gym on the go in the car or wherever you like them. Now, aside from that and there was some cool stuff I wanted to share is that this book has only been out for less than a week and some of the early reviews have been amazing and really rewarding on a personal level.

00:03:45:10 - 00:04:09:06

When you put a project like this out into the wild, you really never know what you're going to get. And it's been really cool to see what people have had to say. Andre Lugo shared that this is a book I have been looking forward to reading for some time, and it did not disappoint. I listen to podcasts for several years now, and through this process you'll uncover and eliminate performance limiting beliefs and then map actions geared to achieving a seasonal focus using the most direct path for you.

This book helps you get in the zone of peak performance without excessive pressure or complacency or John Boggs, John said. Itamar Insights and real world applications in this book were powerful and incredibly useful. You see, I'm use of the extraordinary, and for that he freely shares. But this this it takes it to the next level. And again, John makes the point here, having listened to all the podcast and so on, how much effort we put into this book to make it as clear as possible and as precise as possible for you guys.

00:04:40:18 - 00:04:59:19
Itamar Marani
So again, if you have ever found any value in any of these podcast, you'd be doing yourself a giant and a logical disservice by not getting the book. We've never put so much effort into a project as this book. And again, if you found any value for anything so far, you would just be doing yourself a disservice by not getting it or from Chris Fraser.

Chris Failure said. Itamar offers so much value in such an easy and practical read. The question on page 85 alone will pay off this investment 100 times over for Paul, who is also an ARENA alum, said The best framework I've ever read on performance. This is hands down, the best book I've ever read. What sets it apart is how genuinely actionable it is.

00:05:20:00 - 00:05:41:02
Itamar Marani
No vague platitudes or theoretical fluff, just practical frameworks you can implement immediately. So to summarize, if you've ever gotten value from our content, imagine how much more value you'll get from something we've invested at least a thousand times more time, resources and energy into. That's what this book represents for you. As a reminder, the audible version will be released later this month.

00:05:41:05 - 00:05:58:18
Itamar Marani
However, if you want to enter the raffle now, you can purchase the e-book version and on October 8th and ninth it will be completely free on Amazon and you can find the link to get it below.

00:05:58:18 - 00:06:22:06
Itamar Marani
