The Four Agreements

by Don Miguel Ruiz

Starting: Week of 9/14

Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements offers four simple, timeless principles that can change the way you think, speak, work, and live.

Inside MYB, we take those principles one step further by exploring what they look like through the eyes of an entrepreneur building both a business and a life.

As we read the book and go through this study guide, you will also create your own Four Agreements Declaration in the Interactive Guide, a personal commitment to how you want to show up for yourself, your business, and the life you're designing.

When you're ready, make it official with your signature and bring your experience into the Community Discussion. Share what stood out, what challenged you, and which agreement you are choosing to live more intentionally.

MYB Mastery Academy

This Isn't a Book Club.

It's a system for turning pages into action, one book, one worksheet, one changed habit at a time.

"Success Leaves Clues" ~ Anthony Robbins

MYB Mastery Academy, recommended books

How It Works

One Book at a Time

We slow down and go deep on a single book. No skimming, no starting the next one until this one has actually been applied.

Guided Exercises

Every book comes with reflection prompts and action steps tied straight to the MYB Lifestyle Categories, not just discussion questions.

Real Discussion

Share what you are actually applying and hear how other Bosses are using the same pages in completely different businesses.

Measured, Not Just Read

This is not a book club that ends at the last page. Every session is about what changed in your life and/or business because you read it.

Who It's For

  • You are ready to stop collecting books and start applying them
  • You want a repeatable system for turning ideas into action, not just more inspiration
  • You want a community that holds you to what you said you would do
  • You are building a business and a life, not just checking a box

What You'll Gain

Clarity

A clearer read on what is actually driving your results and what is just noise.

Structure

A repeatable way to turn any book into a real plan instead of just notes in the margins.

Connection

A room of people applying the same principles to very different businesses and lives.

Momentum

Small, consistent action, instead of one more unfinished book sitting on the shelf.
