It is with great excitement that today, January 17, 2024 is the day for the pre-sale campaign to launch for MTA's new book "Make the Adjustment".
This book is about how embracing change and how making the necessary adjustments can enable anyone to achieve extraordinary things. More than just a catchphrase, "Make the Adjustment" is my compass for life.
I was inspired to write Make the Adjustment after three decades spending time with and observing the top 1% of business professionals and athletes around the world. I wanted to document the algorithm of how the best of the best achieve great things by adapting to change, having relentless persistence, and consistently bouncing back from setbacks.
Make the Adjustment is not only intended to help someone who wants to climb the corporate ladder, but also the C-Suite executive who is stuck in a rut, struggling to grow their company, and unable explain how they got there. I’m writing this for the person who somehow lost themselves and don’t know what to do next.
Take ANY challenge in your life and the lessons from Make the Adjustment will help you improve your outcomes.

Excerpt from the introduction...
"If you picked up this book, you’ve taken the first step by identifying that you’d like to make a change or an adjustment in your life or in your business. And I commend you for it, because for many people, taking the first step is the most difficult one.
Anyone who embarks on a journey of any type of change will experience some level of fear, discomfort, frustration, and more...these are all normal emotions, but we will help you manage this and ultimately overcome it.
Like you, I’ve had my fair share of challenges throughout my lifetime and tell my kids all the time that "life is hard" because it is. But I’ve overcome the vast majority of some pretty big obstacles thrown my way and accomplished some pretty lofty goals. There have been wins, losses, setbacks, triumphs, championships, awards, sadness, frustration, all of the experiences and emotions we humans feel.
I’m writing this book because I’ve been fortunate enough in my life to figure out an algorithm for "making the adjustments" necessary to overcome almost any obstacle, both in your personal life and in business, and am honored to share these discoveries with you..."
We are beyond thrilled to announce that our first book will be released in the summer of 2024!
Starting with the leadership lessons from my late college baseball coach, then 4 years playing professional baseball for a World Series championship manager, and eventually working for the largest HR services firm in the world and travelling the globe over a 27 year career in corporate america...our first book will take a deep dive into the mindset of the very best of the best, how they adapt to change, set goals, overcome obstacles, and control their outcomes. The lens of the books will very much come from a leadership, business, and athletics perspective, but the lessons apply to anyone who isn't attaining their goals and understanding the algorithm of how to handle adversity, and ultimately overcome it.

May 1, 2024: "Why isn't the book released, yet?"
One of the most common questions I've been getting is, "Why isn't the book released, yet?"
In one word, revisions!
This being my first book, one might think that the author comes up with an idea, a framework, develops the chapters, and starts writing...which I did from May 2023 through December 2023.
There were 40,000 words on paper and when I wrote the words "End of manuscript" I got the chills. "Wow, I just wrote a book, this is incredible!" There was a tremendous feeling of accomplishment and great humility hoping this book would making a lasting impact on those who read it.
But when I wrote "End of manuscript" on December 30, 2023, there was a strong argument that I was only about 40% done, ARGH!
Since January, I have been putting in 3-6 hours/week with my publisher, revisions editor, marketing team, and continuing to edit the book to ensure it will be the best version it can be. When my publisher said this would be a 'one year process' they weren't kidding!
As I write this, you might think I'm frustrated. On the contrary, I am inspired. As I re-read the first version, and now second edited version, I am convinced this book will have great utility for anyone seeking inspiration to overcome adversity and take control of their life or career. My revisions editor Chrissy and I discussed how there's likely another book to write in the future called "Make the Adjustment" specifically catered towards kids and adolescents, which I will very likely be taking on once my first book is final and complete.
The current date to submit the final draft of Make the Adjustment is June 17, 2024. And after final edits, artwork, cover, and voice overs (for Audible) the book will be distributed by the end of the summer, likely in September.
My sincerest thanks to those of you who have supported me on this journey as it's incredibly exciting and also quite humbling. I truly hope the message of Make the Adjustment will resonate with you and that it helps improve the outcomes in your life.
