5-Year Crusade: The Easy Way to Achieve Your Impossible Goals

"Don't let the title fool you. This is a serious book for high achievers with important ambitions."
—Tom Brown
What if the easiest way to achieve impossible goals was mostly about using your soul? And what if using your soul was mostly about what you do — your personal system of daily hours and habits? For thirty years, as a chiropractor with an average income, John Soforic kept a secret routine. He told no one — not his closest friends, not the people who asked for advice, not the patients he treated and knew intimately.
Every morning, before anything else, he spent six minutes doing something he was almost embarrassed to admit. He credits it with the results that everyone envied in the end. He reveals it in this one book.
This morning ritual was just one habit, but it was the foundation of a lifestyle that earned impossible goals.
“In terms of content, this book can easily be compared to the great works on Stoicism—for me, it stands right alongside the writings of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus.” —Shaw Why your impossible is just an opinion.From $250,000 in debt to a stream of $20,000 a month in residual income.
From overweight and out of shape to finishing triathlons year after year.
From debilitating long COVID brain fog — a stretch of more than a year when he could barely read — to writing three books and developing a tracking app.
The author didn't sacrifice everything to achieve these once impossible goals. In fact, most people didn't even notice what he was doing differently. He mostly followed a daily system. The same one in this book.
A story you’ll never forget.
The book 5-Year Crusade is written as a novel, fast-moving and character-driven, following Jimmy — a wealthy ex-felon who volunteers to teach incarcerated teenagers how to save $100,000 by age 23, starting from nothing, beginning the day they're released.
It's a laughably impossible goal — without a daily system.
His reluctant overseer, Sara, is a credentialed skeptic assigned to evaluate whether the course is helping or harming the boys in her care. What she discovers over ten weeks quietly dismantles everything she thought she knew about what these kids were capable of.
C-R-U-S-A-D-E-S
The eight principles at the core of the system — organized under the acronym CRUSADES — cover everything from how to focus your mind each morning, to how to break the vices quietly draining your potential, to how to reclaim 5 to 20 hours a week for the effort that actually moves your impossible goal forward.
Each principle gets its own chapter.
Each chapter is a classroom scene, a conversation between Jimmy and Sara, and a practical homework assignment the students carry into the week.
By the end, you'll have seen the full system applied in real time. You'll also have access to the free Crusader's Tracker app — the same tool the students use — to score your daily habits, log your impact hours, and run a 30-day challenge that makes everything concrete.
The morning ritual is waiting in these pages. So is the system it anchors. So is the story of what happens when both are taken seriously by people who had every reason not to bother.
Read it. Find the secret. Start your crusade.
