Breaking Out of a Broken System Paperback – February 7, 2014

I honestly didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. It was very hard to put down! Not only is it written in a unique format that makes reading much faster and enjoyable, but this book covers topics that I have always felt strongly about, but that is not popular in today's culture. (For example: Not everyone should feel entitled to go to college.)Although this is a fast read, I went through this book slowly, but only because it was packed-full of information. (I literally took a screenshot of almost every page on my iPad so I could refer to them later!)Everyone needs to read this book. We all have a dream, and so many of us push it aside in order to conform to our culture. This book reminded me just how brainwashed our society has become. No, we are not all called to take the same path in life, and that is okay. Yes, it is possible to pursue what you love and pay your bills.In summary, this book was full of advice on how to: start a small business, save money, increase productivity, and decrease procrastination.This book could be enjoyed by all ages--both adults and young people alike.Also, one of the best parts about buying this book is that you will save a life! So whenever you purchase this book, 100% of the profit will be given to charity to provide a life-saving malaria pill. Seth & chandler hope to provide 10,000 life-saving pills by selling 10,000 copies. Please be sure to purchase yours so they can reach this goal! (Don't you love having a legit excuse to buy a book without having to feel guilty?!)

As a teacher, I spend MOST of my time reading books for content and lessons than for enjoyment. When I scrolled through the pages of the book, I could not put it down. I laughed, I smiled, I teared, I raised my hand because their was so much truth in Seth and Chandler's words. Sometimes in this human experience we feel like no one can relate because that person next to you has it all-together and you remember a time when you did, too. How do you get back? I feel like this book is a return to self because it has helped me to strongly desire all of my hopes and dreams after college and cultivate a path into who I want to become. No more "someday".I used to think " why hasn't my "someday" happened?" Mostly, fear and limiting beliefs about who I am changed the direction of my dreams or how far I let myself go. Sometimes you need a nudge to help push you into having empowering beliefs about yourself. This book is my nudge in how it talks about how to plan for success and ultimately live the life you dream to have.I have always been an individual who walked to the beat of her own drum. I've always been okay with that. Sometimes others aren't. This book helped to encourage me that it's a good thing to be true to myself and find the value that I possess inside of ME! Depending on what you experience in life, parts of you start to chip away and you wonder, "Am I making an impact?" , "Why put in this much effort with no gain?", "Is this what I really want?", or "Why is it so easy for them?". This book shares that along the way of those doubts and trials, you will have many mini successes that will build your confidence and boost your momentum. Sometimes it is not always about where you start but where you finish.I can see myself coming back to this book on a regular basis. It is like that boost of mental energy and encouragement that will help me to forge ahead. Every page unlocks the mystery of how I can grow into my purpose. I am such a reflective person and have already spent time journal writing about the notions I am learning as I read. After the first read, I felt empowered and inspired to make a change in me and to encourage others. I am so thankful to have found something that not only is handy but life-changing. If you purchase this book, you will experience its innumerable dividends, too! Hopefully, you will choose to unlock your potential!

The band Switchfoot once sang "We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves?" They also sang "This is your life, are you who you wanna be?"While not referenced in the book, the questions that composes those lyrics may as well have been in the book as brothers Seth and Chandler Bolt have lived out some of their dreams, and yet seen others abandon their dreams for some reason or another as the result of a "Broken System" the world operates under.Even if you're not a big book reader who would rather do something fun... what if I told you, you'll probably fly through this book without skimming and thoroughly enjoy it?If you're looking to learn something with a comic bent and get inside the heads of a couple of country boys from South Carolina who are making an impact and looking to make an even bigger impact on the world, you've come to the right place.Written with a unique schedule (one week, Christmas Break), a unique format that caused a professional in book formatting to call them crazy (pretty much it's a two-fer with a unique look), and a great cause (all profits will be going to the Palmetto Medical Initiative, one book will pay for one pill that will help save a life of a person with the disease malaria... thus the #1book1life banner this book carries)."Breaking Out Of A Broken System" is effectively a selfless, organized love letter of Seth and Chandler Bolt to their parents as they "pay forward" lessons they've learned about having the right mindset, taking action, influencing others, keeping the ball rolling, and money and it's purpose from two different, yet similar perspectives.With Seth, you get a 30 year old music producer known more as the bassist for the band NEEDTOBREATHE. A band that didn't make it overnight, but with years of making a greater impact, one fan and one show at a time.With Chandler, you have a 20 year old who has run several businesses and won "Entrepreneur of the Year" from an organization called "Young Entrepreneurs Across America." A recognition born from a young businessman and speaker who, as you'll read, wasn't willing to settle for "just making it" and resting on his laurels.From both, you get lessons of life and love from the perspective of a couple of boys raised to be great!Looking forward to these guy's next project, quite possibly expanding on things they've covered here.$5 to impact your life, the life other people you know (either via getting them this book or living out principles from it), and the lives of people you don't know (through the purely charitable cause of this project).Get the book and spread the word and help the Bolt Brothers reach 10,000 books sold to impact 10,000 lives!
