“People respond to you in kind. What you give out, you get back, multiplied. That’s the secret. When you lead with positivity, when you radiate appreciation and sincere enthusiasm, something shifts. You’re no longer trying to extract results from others; you’re inspiring them to deliver because they want to. If you want people to treat you well, treat them well first. Train them by going first. Set the example. Be it.

Model the behavior you wish to receive. Make it easy for them to win with you. Cheer them on. Be so genuinely pleased when they follow through that they can’t help but want to do it again. This isn’t manipulation. It’s creation. You’re shaping an environment where encouragement grows, where cooperation thrives, and where positive expectations become reality. You’re creating a good win, win, win for all.

When you validate someone before making your request, when you help them feel like a winner before they’ve delivered, you’re planting a seed. People rise to the level of belief and delight you show in them. They want to keep that feeling going. They want to succeed with you. It becomes a win for both of you. A ripple of joy. The promise, though, is on you. When you ask for something, there’s an unspoken agreement:

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You’ll be happy with the result. So be. Find something to celebrate, even in imperfection. Train yourself to notice what’s good and nurture it. Keep your promises. Make your goals reachable for you and for others. That’s how you build consistent success without stress. You’re not here to play small or let circumstances dictate your joy. You’re here to live deliberately, to lead by example.

You are here to elevate every interaction into an opportunity for growth and goodness. Life becomes more magical when you stop waiting for others to change and simply go first. When you do, everything begins to change, not just outside, but within you. Your energy shifts. Your focus sharpens. You become a magnet for cooperation, joy, and success. And if you’re ready to take that deeper, to train your mind and transform your life, I’d be honored to guide you. You don’t need to figure it out alone. Because when you learn to lead with light, the world lights up in return. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“I’ve had this book for three months and am still reading and re-reading it every week. Years ago, a good friend recommended I get recordings of a workshop by this guy Rex. My friend loaned me the first hour recording, which I thought was a great intro — friendly, simple, charming — but very general with nothing really specific to learn from it.

Except my lifelong fear of public speaking was gone; this guy Rex somehow had stolen it while I was listening. I had no idea how that had happened. The rest of the workshop was just as surprising. And so is this book.

Read this book. It’s pure, concentrated Rex, and he will steal from you too. Excuses, justifications, and obstacles that keep you from being fully alive as yourself will be gone. You will find yourself acting more in alignment with your values. As a result, you will discover yourself more motivated and more fulfilled, not feeling motivated or feeling fulfilled, but acting motivated and acting fulfilled.

The writing is clear and simple, with principles and practices that are easy to experiment with and surprisingly transformative, freeing you to be yourself. I think this guy Rex really wants you, and every one, to be more actively, more intensely, yourself.”
