Achieving your goals and getting the life that you want requires one thing above all: motivation.

Unfortunately, most people have wrong ideas about motivation and unknowingly sabotage themselves.

This course will guide you through the process of getting more motivated and sustaining that motivation until you reach your goals.

Learn how to overcome mental barriers, permanently increase your motivation, feel more energetic, and actively turn your dreams into reality even if you have been extremely unmotivated up until now.

What will you be able to do after this course?

  • AVOID common mistakes by which people unknowingly sabotage themselves

  • OVERCOME mental barriers that prevent you from realizing your full potential

  • GAIN momentum to reach your goals

  • FORMULATE goals and plans the right way

  • USE the world around you to keep you focussed and motivated

  • AUTOMATIZE your actions by forming habits that keep you going on auto-pilot

  • STAY energetic on every step of the way

In other words, this course will help you to take control of yourself and your life and achieve the goals that you have been struggling to reach.

I know how depressing it can feel when you are not living up to your full potential.

As a teenager, I was shy and full of self-doubts and spend most of my time fleeing into the world of books and computer games.

As a result, I had to repeat one year in school and got close to having to repeat another year.

Then, I met the right people, studied Psychology and Neuroscience, and slowly figured out how our motivation really works.

I realized that most motivation techniques create fleeting motivation at best because they misunderstand how our motivation really works.

This helped me to discover what I really had to do to achieve lasting motivation... and soon I started to see results.

Over the last 10 years, I've graduated as one of the top university students of my year, won prices, got a PhD, and published research in top science journals.

Now I want to help you to master your motivation so that you can discover what YOU are truly capable of.

What makes this course unique is that it is not just about creating fleeting motivation but about building lasting motivation that takes you all the way towards your goals.

What will you learn specifically?

  • What most people get wrong about motivation

  • A simple trick to overcome your mental barriers

  • How to uncover the deeper emotional reasons behind your goal

  • A little known trick to use the world to keep you motivated

  • The one thing a goal needs to be effective
  • The two simple elements of an effective plan

  • A simple formula to turn your actions into automatic habits and reach goals on auto-pilot

  • Strategies to keep yourself energetic

In short, you will learn how to get motivated, stay motivated, take action, and take control of your life and dreams.

Once you get started, you can simply follow the steps as they are laid out in the course.

There are simple assignments in the class project that will help you apply the lessons to your own personal situation.

And you will have my full support on every step of the way.
