Every morning we wake up we have a day deposit of 1440 minutes added to our life account. Most people just squander them and end up at the end of the day with nothing accomplished and nothing gained. When you multiply that times every day you have 43200 unused minutes each month and people are stuck. There are no roll over minutes in life. You must use them or lose them! Every year we are given over 500,000 minutes and the question must be asked "What are you doing with Yours"? Sure we use some to eat and some to sleep, we use some to earn a living and some to enjoy a living...but when all is done and said, how many did you use to bring about your dream and fulfill your destiny? A minute is a precious thing to waste! Yet we all do it on a regular bases. This book is for those time wasters, yet it is NOT a time management book. It is a TRANSFORMATION book. It advances the idea that we all can AIM for something better. The suggestion is made that we Find the Inspiration and Motivation to work on the Aspiration of our heart. The First Fifteen minutes of each day are crucial to success and achievement. It's not asking much to dedicate the First Fifteen minutes of each day to Plan, Promise and Project that day. It makes it all so much easier when you take time to prepare your day . The average person gets up when he is jarred from a fitful sleep that he is not done with. Then puts on shoes that he did not choose and wears clothes that he may not like. He then robotically heads to a place to spend 8-12 hours a day doing something he doesn't like for someone he doesn't like, all for an exchange of value he deems not fair. I submit that a simple 15 minutes of AIMing everyday will change that dynamic and soon you will be doing the things you want to and reaping the rewards you desire. The First Fifteen of each day will yield Results and Rewards you didn't even know existed. This book is a guide to explore those First Fifteen minutes and show you how to best utilize them.

Becoming someone is a learning process; and what we learn is the new values around which, if we succeed, our lives will come to turn. Agents transform themselves in the process of, for example, becoming parents, embarking on careers, or acquiring a passion for music or politics. How can such activity be rational, if the reason for engaging in the relevant pursuit is only available to the person one will become? How is it psychologically possible to feel the attraction of a form of concern that is not yet one's own? How can the work done to arrive at the finish line be ascribed to one who doesn't (really) know what one is doing, or why one is doing it? In Aspiration, Agnes Callard asserts that these questions belong to the theory of aspiration. Aspirants are motivated by proleptic reasons, acknowledged defective versions of the reasons they expect to eventually grasp. The psychology of such a transformation is marked by intrinsic conflict between their old point of view on value and the one they are trying to acquire. They cannot adjudicate this conflict by deliberating or choosing or deciding-rather, they resolve it by working to see the world in a new way. This work has a teleological structure: by modeling oneself on the person he or she is trying to be, the aspirant brings that person into being. Because it is open to us to engage in an activity of self-creation, we are responsible for having become the kinds of people we are.

The Business of Aspiration is about how consumers' shifting status symbols affect business and brand strategy. These changing status symbols, like taste, aesthetic innovation, curation or environmentalism create the modern aspirational economy. In the traditional economy, consumers signaled their status through collecting commodities, Instagram followers, airline miles, and busy back-to-back schedules. By contrast, in the aspirational economy, consumers increasingly convey status through collecting knowledge, taste, micro-communities, and influence. This new capital changes the way businesses and entire markets operate, and yet the modern aspirational economy is still an under-explored area in business and culture. The Business of Aspiration changes that. In this book, marketers will find examples, analyses and tools on how brands can successfully grow in the modern aspirational economy. The Business of Aspiration answers questions like, "what is good for my brand long-term?", "how is this business decision going to impact our culture?" or "what are the main objectives of our growth?" Marketers will learn to shift their brand narrative and competitive strategy, to create and distribute new brand symbols, and to ensure that their brand’s products and services create both monetary and social value.
