Why is my book selling so well around the globe? nPart of the reason is because of how the book came to be... nnYou see, before I wrote the book I invested over $100,000 and two years of my life traveling and meeting face to face with very successful men and women and asked them questions like...Who are you, how do you think, what works for you, what doesn’t work for you, what are your secrets of success? nnAfter investing that kind of time and money learning from some of the most successful people on the planet I was overwhelmed with the quality and quantity of the knowledge I acquired. Have you ever had information overload? I needed to boil down the lessons to their essence and focus on the most powerful principles. nnSo I asked myself what are the top 10 things I have learned over the last ten years. I went back 10 years because before I wrote the “Top 10” I had already learned some extremely valuable lessons from my own successes and failures from being an entrepreneur. n nSo I wrote the top 10 most important distinctions I had learned from my own experience, from reading hundreds of success oriented books and having face to face conversations with multi-millionaires. After writing the outline I smiled and said, this is it. If you stay focused on these ten things, then financial freedom is inevitable for you. nnAfter thinking about the top 10 distinctions I realized that I needed to write a short book on it and get some feedback from other successful people that I respected. So I took my top 10 distinctions to a little cabin in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Over the next seven days I wrote the book, The Top 10 Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class. nnHave you ever experienced that state when what you are doing is effortless and you feel a strong sense of purpose, peace and joy? That’s what I felt while writing. The book flowed through me. It was a fun and powerful experience to invest time reflecting on the lessons I had learned and capturing them to share with you. nnI printed books and started sending them to my friends and colleagues. Then my friends and colleagues and their friends and colleagues started calling and emailing to order cases of the book at a time to give as gifts. nnNext I started getting calls and emails about teaching the Top 10 Distinctions to groups around the country.nnSo I developed The Wisdom Creates Freedom Workshop that includes a full teaching of The Top 10 Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class.nnNow the same word of mouth experience that is still happening with the book is happening with the workshop. Every week I am receiving calls and emails about teaching the workshop at businesses and churches around the globe.nnAfter receiving so many testimonials from people of all walks of life who have read the book and attended the workshop I know that if you stay focused and take action on the 10 distinctions you will achieve total financial freedom. nnIn addition to the wonderful comments from my personal millionaire friends, I have had several millionaires I didn’t know email me and say, I could have written your book, it’s exactly how I think and feel, great job! nI am ordering copies for all of my family and friends. Even my mentor immediately ordered 200 copies to give to his students. nnSo what if you could experience several successes and failures in your own businesses for ten years, what if you read hundreds of success books and then you invested $100,000 and two years of your life learning from personal meetings with multi-millionaires.nnWhat would you learn? Chances are you would learn the lessons that I did. n nnIn addition to learning the insights from the Top 10 Distinctions, the Wisdom Creates Freedom Workshop will give you even more valuable insights. You’ll learn how to identify if or when you play the victim and how to take responsibility for the results you create. nnYou will hear how I played the victim with one my failures where I lost $300,000 and the biggest lesson I learned from it. You can learn as much, maybe even more from the failures of successful people as you can from their successes. nnSomeone once said, if you want to impress people, tell them your successes, but if you want to impact them, then tell them your failures. So I gladly share one of my biggest failures with you and the biggest lesson you can learn from it. nnIn the workshop you will learn how to condition your mind for success by going to the root of your problems. A simple truth that can transform your finances is, your roots create your fruits. If you look at your financial roots you’ll see the cause of your current financial fruits.nnPart of the process of creating wealth is for you to pull the weeds of scarcity out of your mind and plant seeds of prosperity in your mind. nnSeeds grow into trees that bear fruit. Your financial fruits are the results you are experiencing. The Top 10 Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class are ten great seeds to plant in your mind. nnThe other insights in the workshop teach you how to water those seeds so you can grow a healthy and nstrong financial life. nnPerhaps the most important principle you will learn in the workshop is how you can practice living in the present moment. If you let them, your thoughts of the past and future will keep you from ever achieving financial freedom. nnAs long as you live with regrets, guilt and shame from your past and have fear and worry about the future you will not make wise decisions and take the actions to become successful. nnThe good news is that there are ways you can learn to think about the past and the future while remaining present. Most people are absent because they are thinking about the past and future from a disempowered point of view. nnIn the workshop you will learn exactly how to think about the past and future so that you are empowered to make wise decisions in the present moment. n nnWisdom is the ability to make the right decisions.nnYour guarantee from me is that the Wisdom Creates Freedom Workshop on CD will be one of the best presentations you have ever heard and after listening to it you will know, without a doubt, that you can and will achieve financial freedom by applying the principles you learn. If you don’t totally agree, then you can have a full refund.
