Author, Terry Blackburn, had a turbulent adolescence. He was drinking and taking drugs at just 12 years old and left school at 16 without any qualifications, written off by his teachers as a loser who’d never achieve anything in life. Fast forward 18 years and at just 33, Terry is an award-winning entrepreneur, running seven very successful businesses in property investing, life insurance and mortgage brokerage. Yet Terry, a hands-on dad of 4, still prioritises his time to keep fit, eat well, and enjoy holidays, friends, reading, meditation and more. Terry believes that with the right mindset, anything and EVERYTHING is possible.

Be a Lion reveals how Terry achieved his impressive success, with practical steps and thought-provoking questions on how you can do the same. It helps the reader identify and avoid ‘animals’ such as ‘sloths’ and ‘hyenas’ who will drain your energy, waste your time and kill your dreams. This helpful guide also provides steps on how to think like a lion, to banish self-doubt and to supercharge your drive and determination, allowing you to make incredible transformations in business, money, relationships and health.

Written in an exuberant and conversational style, Be a Lion is organised into simple chapters packed with advice on how the ‘lion’ mindset can be applied to all areas of life such as: business and property – the power of simplicity, goal setting and continuous growth; health, wellbeing and fitness – drinking time-saving smoothies and writing daily goals and gratitude mantras; relationships – the importance of aligned values and a have-it-all mindset.

Terry provides actionable steps throughout his debut book to inspire and guide readers on their journey to creating an amazing life with zero self-doubt.
