If you’re looking for the Secret Sauce of Sales, here it is... Stop Stalling. Start Selling. And GO SELL SOMETHING!
In reality, that’s it! Sales is about harnessing your natural ability. Believe in your product, and go do it. You’ll learn lessons along they way, and you’ve been learning these lessons your whole life.
This book is a culmination of stories and lessons that I’ve been collecting throughout my life and sales career. It is not exhaustive, nor is it meant to be. It’s not the 5 steps or 32 steps to follow to succeed. It is purely a collection of things that I’ve learned along the way, and I hope it helps.

How is it that we have so incorrectly defined how we become a hero in our own lives?
In his book, Human Being Human, Human Resilience Researcher, Derek Strokon, explores the importance of just being yourself, and how we can work back to a life of contentment, emerging from the illusory grasp of Hero Culture, avoiding chaos and crisis as the catalyst for change.
In this honest and authentic, eye-opening exploration, he will have you considering your own journey, and provides a simple solution to a seemingly insurmountable problem.
THE SUCCESS BIBLE

UNSCREWED - LAUNCHING 2025
Derek, a multi-time bestselling author and expert in human resilience, delivers a no-nonsense approach to achieving your goals, cutting through the excuses, and taking control of your destiny.
THE SUCCESS BIBLE is more than just a guide; it's a tool for action. After the single page of content, the rest of the book is blank—an invitation for you to chart your own course. Use these pages to write your plans, document your progress, and turn your aspirations into achievements.
This book isn’t about theories or overcomplicated advice. It’s about getting real, getting focused, and getting it done.

Look into the mirror. Really... look.
Not just at the reflection you’ve grown used to—the tired eyes, the practiced expression, the version of yourself you’ve trained to present to the world—but at what’s behind it. At the lightbulb above you, the one that’s been slowly growing dim, while you go through the motions.
Maybe you’re feeling screwed. Caught in a job that pays the bills but leaves you empty. Stuck in routines that feel like a loop. Spinning through a life that no longer feels like your own.
Maybe you’ve spent so much time chasing someone else’s version of success—climbing their ladder, hitting their milestones, living by their rules—that you’ve lost sight of what you actually want.
But here you are. Standing in front of your mirror, staring into this moment. It’s not just another overwhelmed glance; it’s a wake-up call.
This is your chance to decide. To step out of the cycle. To rewrite the story. To stop existing and start living.
It’s time to get unscrewed.
Don't just take my word for it
