About

We author tools and books that help teens gain grit and mental toughness from an experienced coach's perspective. The first in our suite of publications is 500 Motivational Quotes for Teen Boys.

Don't gift your teen a toy. Grant him the wisdom to ignite the flame that guides his own journey. Teens are no longer children. But they are not yet adults. Every day they mature just a little more; you can either lecture them, baby them, scare them, or find a way to offer them guidance along the journey. But getting through to a teen who is hard-wired to ignore everything you say is hardly easy. Try something different; plant a seed with this book of hand-curated quotes from the greatest thinkers in human history.

Each quote is designed to inspire, motivate, juxtapose thoughts on failure and hardship, and change the way teens view hard work and success. Ultimately, the book teaches teens that in order to move forward on their journey, they're at the helm and nothing happens without their commitment to the effort. No one can get you where you want to be, but you.

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." — Marcus Aurelius

That roadblock isn't stopping you; it is training you.

One of the recurring themes in this compilation is the power of the mind. And it works both ways; positive thinking drives success while negative thoughts lead to failure and more often, simply a failure to get started.

"We suffer more often in imagination than in reality." — Seneca

Ignore negative thoughts; don't focus on what could happen or what did happen, focus on what you want to happen next. And then go and make it happen.
