Expecting Awesome Daily: Simple Shifts in Thinking That Lead to an Extraordinary Life

Something awesome is going to happen today.

Most people do not believe that. They wake up braced for the ordinary, and the ordinary is what shows up.

Rob Vivian has spent more than two decades coaching high-performing professionals, and in thousands of those conversations, he noticed the same pattern. The people who consistently get more out of life are not luckier than everyone else. They are looking. They move through the day with a real expectation that something good is coming, and because they expect it, they notice it when it arrives.

Expecting Awesome Daily is his guide to building that expectation on purpose.

Rob's argument starts with a claim that surprises people: everybody qualifies. Not the wealthy, not the lucky, not the people whose lives already look the way they wanted. Everyone. Your income, your job title, and your circumstances do not determine whether awesome things are available to you. Your mindset determines whether you are positioned to receive them.

Across ten short chapters, you will learn how to:

-Structure your goals so that half the reward arrives along the way instead of all of it at the end
-Recognize the difference between deserving a good life and feeling entitled to one, and why the first requires motion
-Find the positive in events you would rather not have experienced
-Stop labouring over small decisions and break the habit of gathering information you never act on
-Take honest stock of the skills you already carry, because you are more prepared than you think
-Get off the launch pad and fire up the rocket on the life you actually want

This is a book you work through, not one you skim. Every chapter closes with a short summary and a helpful exercise, so the thinking turns into something you can apply the same day you read it.

Rob writes the way he coaches, in plain language, with stories from his own life and from the people he has worked with. He is the owner of Rob Vivian Coaching and Training, one of the largest coaching and training companies in North America.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Today is what you have.

Something awesome is waiting for you today. Go find it.
