Summary: UPDATE: I am no longer accepting Success Stories for my upcoming book, <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/the-5-am-miracle-book/" title="The 5 AM Miracle Book" target="_blank">The 5 A.M. Miracle</a>. However, you can certainly still submit your story and I may use it in another form sometime in the future (podcast, blog, book promotional materials, etc.). Thanks!<br> Since the announcement of <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/the-5-am-miracle-is-going-pro-i-just-signed-a-book-contract/" title="The 5 AM Miracle is Going Pro!" target="_blank">my new book</a> in early February I have been talking about giving you the opportunity to get your story included in the final publication. Well, that day is here.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/089-how-to-eliminate-insecurity-an-interview-with-sean-stephenson-podcast/">← Previous Episode</a><br> <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/090-meditation-for-people-who-cant-sit-still-podcast/">Next Episode →</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/get-featured-in-my-new-book/" title="Get Featured in My New Book"></a>Photo Credit: <a style="color: #808080;" href="https://www.jeffsanders.com" target="_blank">Jeff Sanders</a><br> One of the most effective ways to convince anyone to do anything is to show them it's possible and worth it to take action. Nothing is more motivating than the power of a crowd.<br> Just as Amazon reviews can make or break sales of just about anything, so too can powerful personal stories of growth, achievement, and transformation.<br> I want to give you the chance to share your story with every new reader of my book. You can influence others with your own journey and provide something I would never be able to, your voice.<br> What I'm Looking For<br> Though I cannot guarantee I will choose your 5 AM Success Story for the final version of the book there are a few things I'm looking for that could give you a leg up.<br> <br> * Your 5 AM Miracle: The whole point of collecting these stories is to show others how waking up early and with a plan can dramatically improve their lives. That's what I'm looking for in your story. How has your life changed? What changes have you made? What amazing benefits have you experienced? Who were you before and who are you now?<br> <br> * Using key strategies: If you have utilized any of the strategies I have mentioned on my blog or podcast, that would be very helpful. This could include everything from inversion, standing desks, and drinking kombucha, to task managers, focused blocks of time, and Evernote. If I have talked about it before, and you have benefited from it, feel free to mention it.<br> <br> * Nothing fancy: Don't try to sound like anyone other than yourself. I'm not looking for big words, fancy use of vocabulary, or “author speak.” Just be you.<br> <br> * 100-300 words: These stories are meant to be inspiring, but also bite-sized. Lengthy essays will likely not make the cut. But, if you surprise me with something amazing I could change my mind.<br> <br> * Deadline is July 15th: I know that may seem like a long way off, but the earlier I get your story the more likely it is that it will make the final cut. Unless you have a reason to wait, why not submit it now?<br> <br> How to Submit Your Story<br> Just for the sake of clarity, submitting your story to me gives me the right to publish it in a public manner (like in the book or on my website, podcast, blog, etc.). If I choose to use your story I may ask you sign a release at some point in the future, which is why I need your email address to contact you.<br> Please only share information with me that you approve for public use.<br> If you're ready to share your story, visit the <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/submit-your-5-am-success-story/" title="Submit Your 5 AM Success Story" target="_blank">5 AM Success Story Submission Pag...</a>
