Do you know how to live an extraordinary life?
It’s a simple question. I’ll ask it again.
Do you know how to live an extraordinary life?
If you think success and wealth are the key, think again.
Living an extraordinary life sounds simple in principle, but difficult in practice.
Who am I, and how do I know?
I was that kid who started his EdTech right out of school with no money, experience, or team. The truth is I had no business being in business, and the results showed.
My grit and passion kept me in the game long enough to grow my EdTech and dominate the industry.
Thirteen years later, I was an “overnight success” when I experienced a 9-figure exit.
I found that success and wealth fall short in creating an extraordinary life.
While money does make a difference, it does not lead to an extraordinary life.
When it came to living an extraordinary life, I found myself on the outside looking in.
My obsession became figuring out how to live an extraordinary life.
The answer, I learned, comes down to one key factor.
Know this and know this well.
Everyone can live an extraordinary life when you know how to access this “one thing.”
Age, money, and success-to-date don’t make a difference for this “one thing.”
What is this “one thing” and how do you achieve it?

Money Buys Many Things Except An Extraordinary Life
Money often costs too much – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you one of the many people who believe that money solves life’s problems?
Money buys many things, but money doesn’t buy an extraordinary life.
A quick story.
My early days as an entrepreneur had me living in my parent’s attic out of necessity.
Many of my friends were starting lucrative jobs and enjoying new cars, trips, and homes.
I dreamed of the day when I would “make it big” and live a life without problems.
Years of hard work and the proverbial blood, sweat, and tears created my 9-figure exit.
Read and prosper from “How I Built An 8 Figure Company (With No Business Experience).”
I remember the night before the deal closed as though it was yesterday.
In my mind, I imagined how I would feel and how my life would change with all those zeroes in the bank.
The morning after the deal closed, two things happened.
First, I woke up smiling as I thought about all those extra zeroes in my bank account.
Second, I realized that the same hopes and fears that I had before my exit were still there after my exit.
The luxury travel, toys, and material trappings were nice until they weren’t.
Believe it or not, even the luxury life, after a while, became the same-old-same-old.
And then it happened.
I stumbled upon a revelation that shook me to the core and forever changed my life.
What’s the revelation?

Moments Are Everything And The Only Thing For An Extraordinary Life
Want to live an extraordinary life? Transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. – Jeffrey Feldberg
When it comes to living an extraordinary life, moments are the game-changer.
Let’s keep things simple and remove the hype and complication when looking at your life.
Look to your decades as years, which in turn, come from months. Your months are born from weeks which come from days,
And your days are many, many hours.
Indeed, your life is moments.
Many moments are what form your days, weeks, months, years, and decades.
It’s what you do with your moments and how you view them that creates an extraordinary life.
When it comes to moments, you have a choice.
Are you prepared to leave an ordinary moment as ordinary?
Most people do and live ordinary lives.
Too many emails, voice mail, and requests on your time have you stressed and “doing” instead of “being.”
It’s all too easy to get caught up in “doing.”
What’s your other choice?
Make an effort to transform an ordinary moment into an extraordinary one.
Extraordinary moments, like life, come in all shapes and sizes.
Both the small and big extraordinary moments add up to an extraordinary life.
Let me ask you the question of questions whose answer has you set. For life.
What makes an extraordinary moment extraordinary?

An Extraordinary Life Starts And Stops With Fulfillment
Fulfillment creates a life overflowing with success and happiness – Jeffrey Feldberg
How do you create extraordinary moments to live an extraordinary life?
Fulfillment.
Read and prosper from “Create A Life Worth Living If You Want To Be Successful AND Happy.”
Fulfillment is the elixir of life that keeps you smiling and makes all things possible.
Think back to a time when you finally had that material thing of your dreams.
You felt great until you didn’t.
Why?
Life happened. Before you knew it, you were back to where you started.
Look back to the highlights of your life that brought you fulfillment.
Chances are it wasn’t that meeting, email, material thing, paycheck, or conference call.
There is a time and place for everything.
Skipping activities that bring you fulfillment creates an ordinary life from ordinary moments.
It takes an active effort to set aside the time for activities that usher in fulfillment.
How do you welcome fulfillment in your life?

Why Less If More For A Fulfilled And Extraordinary Life
The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them – Paulo Coelho
To live a life that’s both fulfilled extraordinary embrace the idea that less is more.
Online retailers flog convenience, unlimited choice, and time savings. The retail industry tells you that more is better. Influencers have you scared with the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).
The pictures flaunted on social media showing the “good life” are anything but the “good life.”
The countless pictures taken for that “perfect” shot stole the joy out of the moment.
Living a fulfilled and extraordinary life comes for less, not more.
Toss out the notion of FOMO and unlimited choice.
What should you do?
SIMPLIFY.
Read and prosper from “Why You Need To Simplify For Success To Dominate And Win.”
Less is more.
When you simplify, you see the beauty already in front of you. Doing less allows you to do more with the time and resources you already have.
Transform an ordinary moment into an extraordinary moment.
How?
A long and gentle walk with your significant other does wonders for the heart and soul.
A heartfelt talk with your child about your past, present, and future brings out the laughter and love. It’s a talk you’ll remember until you take your last breath.
Honor the mentors in your life by taking time out to visit and thank them for all they’ve done. The gratitude you share is a game-changer.
The above examples are extraordinary moments that I call Magic Moments.
Magic Moments are always in your life but hide below the surface.
How do you make a habit to find, celebrate, and enjoy your Magic Moments?

How Daily Rituals And Routines Help You Live A Life Of Magic Moments
Look for magic in the daily routine – Lou Barlow
Daily rituals and routine birth a fulfilled and extraordinary life.
You may be thinking that routines and rituals and, well, boring.
The “boredom” of rituals and routine unlocks consistency. In turn, consistency leads to daily habits and awareness.
Magic Moments are all around you and waiting to happen. All you need to do is unlock the Magic Moments of your life through daily habits and awareness.
A quick story.
It was the end of a grueling week filled with too many meetings, calls, and issues than I care to remember.
As I began to wrap up the day, and the week, my first inclination was to catch up on the never-ending pile of emails.
Instead, I asked myself where’s the Magic Moment that’s here, but hidden from view?
The answer was right in front of me, as it usually is.
I met up with my long-time friend to enjoy a cigar.
For the rest of my days, I will remember the talk we had. From business to life, we covered it all. We laughed as much as we talked.
At the end of the Magic Moment, we both had a new perspective on business and in life.
Routines and rituals have you take small daily actions that create big results. It’s the same routines and rituals that help you find and celebrate your Magic Moments.
