BACK COVER
Did you know 'how to succeed' books may be teaching you how to fail?
Have you ever asked yourself why books you've read on how to succeed have not changed your life or helped you start living your dreams? Do these books just add more stuff to your already lengthy 'to do' list, but fail to produce significant results?
This book explains why concepts in 'how to succeed' books don't work and will help you discover how to begin living your dreams NOW.
I came from a modest home. My father went into the military before finishing high school. My parents are hardworking and caring but have never been financially wealthy. I was the third of eight children and the first of two sons. While growing up, kids my age liked me but I was not in the popular crowd. Following high school I left home, with just what I could carry in two suitcases, and joined the military. After basic training I met and married my wife and best friend, Joni. While in the military we had our first child, Noel. After the military Joni worked to help put me through college. At college we had our second child, Shannon. Within 6 months after leaving college I quit my first job. While I was working in my second job we had our third child, Cristi. Shortly afterward I quit this job, found a job in Alaska, and we moved for the fourth time since leaving college. It was at this time I started reading books about how to succeed. I read dozens of books and have an extensive library on this topic but found most how to succeed concepts in these books were ineffective in changing my life. Then, I discovered the fundamental principles that make it possible for average people to do extraordinary things.
I am a person of normal intelligence. I'm introverted and to this day still find it difficult to speak in public. I'm just an average person perhaps a lot like you.
So you can see why people laughed at me when I said I was going to retire at 55... Then I retired at 50.
Imagine what it would feel like for you to begin living the life of your dreams. You can begin today.
It's simple. A river stops when the water freezes, and a dream stops when actions are frozen. You can only live your dream by living your dream. In this book you will discover how to succeed in living your dreams. No waiting necessary.
A BOOK. THE ROAD TO YOUR DREAMS.
