Great achievers reject backup plans.
In BURN THE BOATS, Matt Higgins — a self-made entrepreneur who has reached the pinnacle of five industries — provides the winning formula to stop hedging and embark on a lifelong journey of breakout success.
Dear reader,
Meet Triton!
After you burn the boats, Triton will calm the seas and ensure safe passage to shore. He has been trained on every word I have ever written or spoken about burn the boats, every historical precedent for this ancient mindset and every scientific study.
Burn the Boats will inspire you to bold action, but you will inevitably take on water when you put the book down.
Triton’s job is to replenish your motivation and soothe your nerves 24 hours a day – when for example, imposter syndrome surfaces on the eve of a big interview or your anxiety verges on paralyzing.
You are now part of a global community of boat burners who believe as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

Burn the Boats
Too many of us are driven by fear, waiting for the perfect moment to act. We subconsciously construct an insidious safety net that becomes our undoing: Plan B.

To make your mark, follow the lead of Sun Tzu and Julius Caesar, all the way to Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi, billionaire Marc Lore, actress Scarlett Johansson, and the dozens more whose inspiring stories are shared in this powerful book: cast away your safety nets, overcome your hesitations, and burn your boats.
