For MMA Fighter and author Jay Islip, it was a long journey from alcoholism and contemplating suicide to this year when he decided to reorder his life discovering the person he really is, achieving his life goals.

The steps taken in that journey, and a road map for others to follow, is laid out in Isip’s first book, 10 Stacks To Success: How to Achieve Success One Goal At A Time (ISBN-13: 978-1502960269, Hasmark Publishing, 2014, 146 pages, $9.97, available in paperback and Kindle at: http://j.mp/1rWFUbf.

As a young man Isip fell into a deep Black Hole when he repeated his senior year of high school, failed in business, went deep in debt, fell into alcoholism, and thought of committing suicide. After climbing out of his personal Black Hole Isip opened a barber salon, taught barbering classes, owns a fitness gym, operates an investment relations company, and became an app developer. He also was a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter for 12 years, squaring off against some of the greatest fighters of all time.

After a brief reflection on his past in his book, Isip launches into the 10 Stacks to Success by explaining that success is not simply a goal but a lifestyle and then revealing how to achieve success one goal at a time though proven tactics by:

• building a strong mental and physical foundation
• producing a positive and productive mindset
• defeating our mental fears
• unlocking our creativity
• changing our habits so our behavior will change, and
• changing our surroundings in order to select the forces that will influence our lives

“10 Stacks To Success is this generation’s guide to understanding that there are no limits,” explains Isip. “Unleashing the power of your own creativity can be a challenge. But there is nothing more rewarding that rediscovering all of the potential you have had inside of you the whole time. More confidence, more understanding and more freedom than ever are yours for the taking. My book is the starting point for the lifestyle of your dreams.”

Isip says his book is especially important for people who are stuck in neutral and need inspiration and direction to discover their unique purpose in life.

Amazon Top 50 Reviewer Grady Harp says of 10 Stacks To Success that “He challenges us in a very positive but stern manner, inserts enough bawdy humor to keeps us turning the pages, and in the end makes us realize that Jay Isip really cares that we become what our potential suggests.”
