Unlock your full potential for your family, business, and life by accessing a new mindset. Join the journey of a father and son as they overcome challenges and continually evolve together.
Over 10 years ago, Tony faced two stressful endeavors at the same time—raising a son on the autism spectrum and starting a small business from scratch. In order for both to grow, he had to transform his mindset from its finite, black-or-white perspective, to one of boundless progress and potential.
His son Dylan has had a miraculous transformation almost off the autism spectrum—shattering preconceived notions that some things are simply unalterable. His fitness facility is also thriving as it enters its sixth year as a seven-figure business.
Through this book you will:
- Empower yourself to overcome obstacles and embrace endless evolution.
- Learn about the 10 Elements of the Spectrum Mindset and how to use them.
- Seek uncertainty and curiosity as a catalyst for growth and progress.
- Overcome anxiety and fear by adopting a mindset of acceptance and gratitude.
- Find the strength and resilience to face life's challenges.
- Ignite your personal and professional growth with actionable strategies.
- Alter history by positively influencing the generations who follow you.
No one fully prepares you for the uncertainties of parenthood and leadership. You will face endless challenges that are made tougher (or easier), by the mindset you possess. With a spectrum mindset, anything is possible for you and for those who you lead.
This is the only MINDSET PARENTING book out there. There are great books on parenting, and great books on mindset, but none of them can combine the best of both worlds with touching stories that inspire. The 10 elements of the spectrum mindset also have many similarities to the "fruits of the Spirit." This book is filled with faith-based inspiration while not being too much for the everyday reader.
Readers will love the inspiring stories about a father and son who transform one another. This book is for everyone, but parents will appreciate the stories the most.
This is a limitless transformation that awaits you, one that I feared you wouldn’t be able to access if you thought this book only applied to people affected by autism. This is why I had to edit the original title, Spectrum Mindset: How a Son on the Autism Spectrum Led to a Mind on One. While having a son born with autism plays an important part in my story, it is far from the whole story.
Also, you don’t have to be a parent to learn from the lessons in this book. Even if you’re not a parent—and possibly never plan on being one—I can guarantee you were once a kid. Much of our mindset was shaped in our youth, and many of our unconscious thoughts and actions in the present are a product of our childhood. While this book can help you create a greater future, I know it can also help you heal and grow from an unpleasant past.
This book is about seeing your entire life as a spectrum and getting out of the black-and-white worldview that has limited you for so long. No matter what age or stage you’re at in life, a life without limits is what the spectrum mindset is all about.
It’s time to start living your life without limits. How does a limitless life sound to you?
A life without limits starts in your mind. Your life is only going to fulfill the visions your mind gives it. I’m a firm believer that our life changes only when our mindset does first. We can change the way we’re living, all by changing the way we’re thinking.
Unfortunately, we tend to only dream about the things we’ve already seen. When we pull up past memories to create future dreams, we end up in a monotonous, finite cycle of unexciting lives that we’ve manifested for ourselves.
The spectrum mindset is about breaking this cycle and surpassing all the finite things that are limiting our lives.
Think back to when you were a child. You had a vast imagination because you had hardly any past to build your future dreams from. Instead, you were like a sponge, gathering inspiration from television shows, movies, and everything else going on in the big world around you.
As you grew up and got bigger, your world got smaller. You got familiar with the world you were in and got used to hearing—and later, saying—things like, “That’s just the way it is,” or, “That’s how it’s always been done.” You began to see how A equaled B, and how this school meant that job, which led to this house and that lifestyle, and so on.
We begin to live very limited lives as we age because we begin to only envision the things we’ve already experienced. Additionally, we model our parents who are already imprisoned by the finite mindset. This is why you see so many of your peers settle for the same careers and lives their parents had.
I’m going to push my kids to be anything they want to be, not everything I want them to be. It’s my job as a parent to provide the platform for their dreams to take off from. I want to provide their plane with jet fuel, not extra baggage.
If you’ve had parenting or mentorship that confined your mindset, it’s time to break those thoughts. You may have to let go of a troubled past to design a phenomenal future. Not just for you, but for everyone you’re going to influence, especially your own children.
