It’s time to celebrate! Today is the day!

After a year in the making, countless late nights, a lot of learning, thousands of emails to printers / editors / typesetters / contributors / transcribers / graphic designers etc, some soul-searching on my part, a number of very interesting interviews with incredible contributors and so on …

My new book is finally here: A Life That Counts.

It will get launched today, is available on my websites NOW (www.jeremyrolleston.com and www.alifethatcounts.com.au) and will be released into bookstores across Australia and NZ from now on. I could not be happier with the end product. Truly, I am ecstatic and quietly proud.

If you want a handbook and a guide to your future success – this is it.

The book is about following your dreams, regardless of the outcome, and irrespective of what your dream is and how you define success. It is also about HOW the successful actually achieve what they do. Plenty of books tell us what to do, but almost none show us HOW to do it. How do you change your thinking (the psychology) to get changed behaviour because very often our best intentions don’t result in any meaningful change ? What do the successful people do on a daily basis ? How do you discover your dreams ? How do you goal set properly ? How do you develop mental toughness and ignore that little voice in our heads that tells us to give up, or not try, or we’re not good enough etc. How do you get over disappointment ? Many people have dreams but very few are prepared to go after them ? Why ? And how do you get over the fears and  mindsets that often hold us back from chasing the dreams we have for our lives ? This is a little taste of some of the topics covered in the book. And alongside this you have the real-life stories of myself and the ten famous and successful Australians to inspire people and give them an insight into how they do it / did it. I want to give you a book that will

1) inspire you

2) you can flick through briefly and yet still take something away

3) is full of real ‘meat’ for those that want to go deeper into the tools, strategies, techniques & psychology of success

4) be an interesting read as you read the behind the scenes real-life stories of myself and the ten amazing contributors.

Here’s the back cover description:

A HANDBOOK FOR YOUR SUCCESS

WITH TOOLS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT IN YOUR OWN LIFE

AND REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES FROM OLYMPIC AND WORLD CHAMPIONS

TO INSPIRE AND HELP YOU BE ALL YOU CAN BE

Many books tell you what success is but don’t reveal how to make it happen. In this book, two-time Olympian Jeremy Rolleston reveals the step-by-step processes, strategies, psychology and techniques used by Olympic and World champions.

Find out how you can use these in your own life to help you successfully follow your dreams, no matter how you define success and whatever your dreams may be.

This is your opportunity to learn from Jeremy and 10 other high-achieving Australians including Dick Smith, Gai Waterhouse, Louise Sauvage, James Tomkins, Lydia Lassila, Matthew Burke, Matt Shirvington, Michael Milton, Jason Stevens and Alexandra Croak. Read their real-life stories – when it’s all going well and when it isn’t! Discover what sets them apart. Learn from their experiences, uncover their secrets, and find out how they’ve used these timeless principles and simple techniques to help them achieve remarkable success.

Practical, thought-provoking and challenging, A Life that Counts will inspire you to chase your dreams and reach your full potential. It celebrates the ‘want to’s’, the ‘choose to’s’ and the ‘dream ofs’ in your own life.

You’ll come away from this book with an exciting vision of your potential along with the confidence, knowledge and tools you need to successfully follow your dreams and live an extraordinary, fulfilled and purposeful life.
