If You Don’t Claim Extraordinary, Ordinary Claims You!
What does it mean to be an Extraordinary Man? What does it mean to live an extraordinary life, and why should you care to find out? The simple answer is that becoming an Extraordinary Man is the only way to achieve true joy and happiness. That process of becoming involves living passionately, feeling excited about life and prioritizing a life of abundance, meaning and deep fulfillment.
Arthur Magoulianiti, Best-Selling Author of The Extraordinary Man shares his reasons for writing this book.
But what is at stake if you do not pursue an extraordinary life?” An ordinary man lives a mediocre life defined by surviving instead of thriving, where things maybe just OK, but are hardly ever great. Ordinary is where work is an emotionally-draining necessity, where relationships are a challenge and where finances are never too far away from going flat. At the heart of creating and living an extraordinary life is the process of becoming an Extraordinary Man.
The good news is that it’s a lot easier than you might think! In order to have more, we must first become more and The Extraordinary Man lays out the principles and practices that can change your life – literally overnight. Each new habit, each new strategy applied changes your life for the better. Adopting these time-tested and proven principles will create extraordinary results for you and, just as importantly, those around you like your family and loved ones.
Arthur Magoulianiti speaks to the importance of good health to be Extraordinary
All men know deep down that they have more to give, they know that deep down they are powerful. But on the surface, anything that blocks our masculine power prevents us from accessing our innate powers to create, to love, and to live life to the fullest. It’s time to leave behind the ordinary and become your best self; to fully become The Extraordinary Man that has always lived inside of you!
Arthur Magoulianiti and I discuss Creating Abundance
I would like to congratulate Arthur Magoulianiti on The Extraordinary Man hitting #1 Hot New Release on Amazon and for continuing to demonstrate what it means to strive for the extraordinary in all aspects of life!
Harry, the Wonder Cat, is no ordinary cat! Two centuries ago, he was tasked with caring for the Johnson family, helping them through life’s ups and downs. Fast forward to the present. This story begins when Nikki Johnson, accompanied by her close friend Heather Murphy, had planned her annual quiet and relaxing Christmas visit to Harrot Reef to visit her beloved Aunt Lynn.
Harry The Wonder Cat
Plans changed when Nikki’s aunt summoned her to come earlier because something was terribly wrong. The two friends arrived the next day to a shocking discovery. Loud howling led them to the library where they found Aunt Lynn’s crumpled body lying on the floor with her cat, Harry, next to her.
The two women landed in the middle of a mystery. The only clues consist of a teacup, a copy of Agatha Christie’s “The Mysterious Affair at Styles“, and a note on the mantle. This Christmas visit was going to be anything but quiet and relaxing.
The Legend of the Pink Diamond is a fantastical story passed down through generations of Johnsons and well known by the townspeople of Harrot Reef. A pink diamond is one of the most precious stones in the world, priceless and treasured for its beauty and rarity. As the story goes, accounts allege that one of these rare pink diamonds, mysteriously tied to crazy Frank Johnson, is still in the possession of the Johnson family.
But is it just a story? Harry’s magical powers help unravel the mystery behind the Legend of The Pink Diamond.
“Harry.”
Harry looked around and saw nothing but the ocean waves. As
far as the eye could see…nothing. A light mist was in the morning air,
and Harry could smell the scent of Spring. It had been a very cold
Winter this year. Harry was grateful for his three layers of fur. Maine
Coon cats were made for the cold, perfect for the freezing Maine
weather, but he still preferred Springtime because the birds came out
from hiding.
Rhoda
“Harry!”
Harry heard the voice again, but this time, it was more insistent.
“Over here.”
Harry turned to see another Maine Coon who he recognized
as his grandfather. He was massive; twice as big as Harry’s fifteen pounds. Harry’s mother had told him that he came from a long line of huge cats and not to worry. Some day he will be big enough to be worthy of the name “Gentle Giant”.
Harry heard the story about his grandfather, Sir Aslan, and how
he received his honorary title. He had proven himself worthy by
saving the princess from drowning. Of course, everyone knows that
Maine Coons are exceptionally good swimmers. Anyway, the Cat
King showed his gratitude by granting Sir Aslan his knighthood.
“Grand…I mean, Sir Aslan.” Harry bowed in front of his grandfather.
“Get up, Harry. I come to you today, not as Sir Aslan, but as your
grandfather.” Sir Aslan was beaming. “You have been nominated for
a knighthood and the Cat King is granting it.”
Ollie
Harry was visibly taken aback.
“B-b-but, Grandfather, I haven’t done anything,” Harry stuttered.
“I haven’t saved anyone like you did or…”
Sir Aslan held up his paw.
“Harry,” Grandfather Aslan stopped him. “The Cat King sees real promise in you, as do I.”
Harry humbly lowered his eyes. “Now, hold on to me and I’ll take us to the Cat Kingdom.”
When Harry opened his eyes, he was in another world. He gazed around and saw that the sky overhead appeared to be painted in pastel pinks, purples and blues. He marveled at the beauty of this magical world. Harry turned and saw a rainbow shoot out from the ground and arc over the huge castle before him. The sky was full of glitter, and music could be heard—its origins seemed like everywhere and nowhere at once. is was the magical land that Harry had only heard about: the land of the Cat Kingdom.
“All of this is for you, Harry.”
Sir Aslan smiled, patted Harry’s head and advanced toward the
gate house which protected the castle within. He looked over his
shoulder at his bewildered grandson and harshly whispered to a
stunned Harry, “Harry, come!”
Stu
Harry was shaken from his wonderment and ran to catch up with his grandfather. They slowly went through the gate house and Harry was humbled by the enormity of it. The cats who stood guard uncrossed their swords to let them in.
Once through the courtyard, they approached two more cats
who were as still as statues until simultaneously bowing in reverence.
“Sir Aslan.”
Harry was proud of the respect the other cats had shown for his grandfather. Maybe one day, it’ll be me that they bow to! The thought excited him…

Do you know that the #1 fear in America is public speaking?
Put another way, more people are afraid of speaking in front of other people than jumping out of an airplane(?!)
Underneath that fear are the contributing factors like lacking confidence, feeling unprepared, not knowing how to move when you talk, etc.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could nail the mechanics and the emotions of delivering a captivating talk that connects with your audience and closes the deal?
That is exactly what Dr. Laura Sicola teaches you to do in Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice which is out today wherever books are sold! (…and she would know, her TED Talk has over 5,000,000 views!)
When you speak, whether on stage, in a meeting or on the telephone, ask yourself:
Do you feel confident and captivate your audience?
Do you command the room naturally, and feel like you are completely connecting with your audience?
Do you feel like you get the full respect you deserve and the results you want?
Are you recognized as a leader that people genuinely want to follow and support?
If you’re like most people, your response to many and even most of these questions is, “No, but I want to!” If that’s the case, then this book is for you.
Speaking to Influence is all about helping you understand how the way that you speak has a powerful effect on your ability to influence your surroundings, your relationships, your reputation, and your potential to succeed.
In Speaking to Influence, Dr. Laura Sicola walks you through the three key channels of speech communication and how they need to work together for people not just to “get it” when you talk, but also to “get you.”
