Everybody can be lazy, but The Lazy Way to Success takes you to the next level of laziness. On this level, you’re going to achieve extraordinary success, happiness and fulfillment that no hard work can ever deliver.

Hard work has no value at all. Avoiding work results in extraordinary success, happiness, health, and fulfillment in life.

Who is Fred Gratzon to Write about Accomplishment?

Fred Gratzon, a successful businessman and the author of The Lazy Way to Success, has something to say about success and accomplishment. His first business was featured in People, Fortune, and Forbes, and his second business grew to 1100 employees, made $400 million in annual sales, and was publicly traded on NASDAQ.

What’s The Lazy Way to Success about?

Fred challenges our beliefs about work and success by claiming that hard work has no value at all. On the contrary, hard work results in headaches, ulcers, sleeping disorders, digestion problems, alcoholism, drug abuse, broken families, and in extreme cases heart attacks and premature deaths.

On the other hand, avoiding work results in extraordinary success, happiness, health, and fulfillment in life. Fred mentions countless examples to his claim from the history and daily life. Think about all the progress in civilization. All the inventions that fuel the advancements in civilization are based on the desire to minimize the work.

You too can make quantum leaps in your lives by finding creative ways to avoid work. And this is exactly what The Lazy Way to Success is about. It’s a complete guide to learn and apply countless creative ways to avoid work. The promise of the book is to reach the kind of extraordinary success that cannot be reached by any hard work.

What are those creative ways to avoid work and reach extraordinary success?

First of all, fun and play. Any activity that involves fun and play isn’t work anymore. Fun and play fuel our creativity to the point where we come up with extraordinary solutions. Fred dedicates a section to fun and play and how to turn our work to game.

The next section is about passion. A pursuit is work, only if you aren’t passionate about it. The problem is that you can’t go beyond mediocrity, if you aren’t passionate about what you’re doing. That means you can’t reach extraordinary success by work. Fred shows you how to identify your passion and how to follow it with all you’ve got.

The most effortless way of accomplishment is by following your calling. Your calling is

… the easiest, most irresistible path to follow. It’s the easiest path that produces the most results.

Don’t let the word “calling” overwhelm you. You don’t need to find your calling in being a professional athlete, a rock star, or an artist. If cooking is the easiest, the most irresistible path that produces the best results for you, then you’re meant to be a chef.

The superstars of any pursuit are regularly experiencing glimpses of ultimate performance. Some call it peak performance, being in the zone, or flow. This type of performance can’t be reached by any kind of work, trying too hard, or by focusing on results. It can only be reached by effortlessness, following your bliss, and being caught by the activity.

Power, Effectiveness, and Leadership

The blunt hard work never yields any power or effectiveness. The power and effectiveness involve acting on subtler levels. The subtler levels require less and less effort by resulting in more and more power. Think about a regular bomb and an atom bomb. An atom bomb is way more effective than a regular bomb, because it’s operated on a subtler level.

In this section, Fred discusses how to locate the subtler levels in life and relationships, in order to multiply our power and effectiveness by minimizing our effort. The principles of power and effectiveness apply to finding solutions to problems as well. The solutions are always in the subtler levels than the levels of the problems.

How can you multiply your power instantly without making any effort? The answer is by finding and leading followers. In this section, Fred discusses the ways to effective leadership. He teaches how to motivate your followers and how to provide them with an ideal environment so that they can perform their best. As a result, they will provide great value to you, to themselves, and to everybody involved with your organization.

Luck, Failures, and Obstacles

A book on accomplishment won’t be complete without a section on good luck. The good luck that we talk about isn’t about winning the lottery or the gambling games. The good luck in this section is about taking the complete support from Nature to your side. Of course, the Nature has its prerequisites to be on your side, and in this section, Fred discusses those prerequisites.

No life story is realistic without any failure, mistake, or obstacle. Every journey to accomplishment is full with failures, mistakes, and obstacles. The difference between an accomplishment and a defeat is how you handle those failures, mistakes, and obstacles. Fred gives countless examples of failures, mistakes, and obstacles from the lives of historic figures, and he shows the ways to turn them into success, opportunities, and accomplishments.

Imagine a personal transformation book that is exceptionally powerful yet surprisingly simple. If you find this combination unlikely, you haven’t read The Big Leap yet.

The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks is about realizing your full potential and reaching the ultimate level of success in wealth, work, and love. In a nutshell, Gay Hendricks identifies the single obstacle between you and your full potential and shows how to overcome it. The only problem that holds you back from your personal transformation is your upper limit problem.

The upper limit problem is a hidden barrier between you and your full potential, a glass ceiling above your head. For your personal transformation to be possible, you need to overcome this hidden barrier. Most of us go through our lives without even recognizing the glass ceiling above our heads.

Once you start challenging your upper limit problem, you also start your personal transformation towards your zone of genius. If you are like the most of the people, you are either living in your zone of competence or in your zone of excellence.

Living in your zone of competence and excellence is comfortable, safe, and sometimes even rewarding, however never satisfactory. To realize your complete potential, you need to proceed to your zone of genius. Your zone of genius is a limitless spiral; there’s no boundary to your success there.

To make the big leap to your zone of genius, you need to find your unique ability. Your unique ability is the occupation that you do most passionately and that produces the best results for you and for those around you. Once you find your unique ability, you can commit to live in your zone of genius for unlimited success. The Big Leap offers you the ultimate success mantra to live in your zone of genius. The ultimate success mantra will inspire you to flourish in love, abundance, and creativity.
