Andrew Chang’s Summary
I was an obese, troubled, and timid youth who followed the Deferred Life Plan of school-slave-save-spend-retire until I discovered Bruce Lee, Dali Lama, and Tony Robbins at 12 years old. I transformed my body and life with martial arts, philosophy, and peak performance psychology and went after my dreams of being an Olympic Champion, a Fitness Celebrity, and a Health Empire. At 18 and 20, just as my career was about to take off with national sponsorships and show requests from NBC, Muscle Magazine, and Calvin Klein, I went through two severe injuries that were supposed to end my life.
To succeed, the warrior became an entrepreneur. I had to do in one year what I once thought I had an entire lifetime to do.
Within two years of college (2006-2008), from age 20-22, I gained the equivalent of four degrees from two universities in just 7 hours per week; traveled over 40 cities during one full-time school year; experienced 5 diverse, high-learning and high-earning careers; started a national health franchise prototype; attended VIP events and executive networks, for free; read over 1,000 books; saved over $189,000 USD in education and experiences; created the love of my life; made peace with my past; connected with my family; and healed my body with Olympic Bio-Mechanics, Taoist Energy, and Zen Meditation.
I am now an author, trainer, and entrepreneur in education, fitness, marketing, products, and technology. I started seven businesses by age 23. I turned 24 in November 2009.
