That book was “7 Strategies For Wealth & Happiness” By Jim Rohn. Up until this point in my life, most people I knew (including myself) were programmed to live life in the following way: Go to school Mess about at school Leave school Get a job that you don’t really like Mess about at work Earn a lot less money than you potentially could Get drunk at the weekend Repeat the above for 40-50 years Retire broke Die Luckily for me, I listened to, and took action on that recommendation, and I ordered the book on Amazon (I’d never heard of Amazon at the time either; the person that recommended the book, recommended that I buy the book on Amazon as well). That book changed my life. I used to live in a garden shed, I used to drink alcohol all the time (almost every night), and I used to be a very angry, frustrated, confused, and negative young man. Reading that book awakened in me an insatiable curiosity to discover what made people tick, what made people successful, what made people happy, what made people wealthy, and what made people enjoy their life. Until I’d read that book, I didn’t actually realise that you could study these things, and by making different choices, you could CREATE a different life. Jim Rohn’s book showed me a new way to live. “You mean that I don’t actually have to live like this? I can change myself, and my circumstances will change?” Looking back on those days, it is pretty amazing to me that I’d never thought about these things myself. I knew people could be happy, but not me? I knew people could become wealthy, but not me? I knew people could drive cars that weren’t 15 years old, falling apart, and had no TAX because they couldn’t afford it, but not me? Since that first enlightening book, over the last fifteen years or so, I’ve probably read over 300 books on self-development. These books have ranged from books on building wealth, NLP, Taoism, communication skills, business skills, sales skills, management, motivation, philosophy, spirituality and many others that aren’t springing to mind right now. The person I am today is a totally different character to the angry young lad of 15 years ago. I’m now happy, and have inner peace. My income is more than comfortable, and I pretty much have zero worries. Whilst life will always throw something at you that you neither expect, nor want, you can learn strategies to deal with these curve balls, and continue moving ahead with joy in your step. In essence, what I’m hoping for is that this book will do the same for somebody else, and if more than one person is able to improve their life because of this book, it would make me very happy indeed. I hope it will open the floodgates to learning, self-discipline, curiosity, hope, determination, and peacefulness. I will say however, that I’m fully aware that not everybody will agree with what I’m writing. This is fine. If you enjoy some parts, and they make you think differently, but discard other parts, that’s the beauty of people. We’re all different. I might not even agree with some of the things in here in ten years time myself!! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I’m about to enjoy writing it! Simon Smith January 2013 Chapter 1 You Can Change Your Life Whenever You Want To! Right then, first things first. I have something to tell you that is very important. Here it is. You can change your life whenever you want to! Did you know that? You can stop smoking whenever you want to You can start exercising whenever you want to You can stop eating fatty junk food whenever you want to You can move to a different town whenever you want to You can change jobs whenever you want to You can quit taking abuse from people whenever you want to You can start building your fortune whenever you want to You can start your own business whenever you want to You can start building your library and educating yourself whenever you want to You can start building a better marriage whenever you want to You can start having more fun with your kids whenever you want to You can start making better decisions whenever you want to You don’t have to live tomorrow like you lived yesterday. If you’re fed up, and sick and tired, you can do something about it right now. Literally right now. You don’t have to wait. When you actually realise this, it will change your life. All you have to do is say to yourself (and mean it) “I’m going to change my life!!” and then take some action. When you do this, and you mean it, your whole world can change. You don’t have to be negative any more. You don’t have to face the future with dread any more. You can take charge and take action, and your life will never be the same again. Let’s say you’ve gotten out of shape. You’ve been eating badly, you’ve not exercised in years, and you smoke. Within the next 3 minutes, you can throw your cigarettes in the bin, throw out your junk food and go for a brisk walk or a jog. You CAN do this. The only question is WILL YOU? Only you know. Only you can decide. All I’m doing is giving you a choice. You can choose to continue on the same path as you always have, or you can do something different. It doesn’t have to be drastic or painful. You can start off small. You can start off by walking 50 yards and completing 5 push-ups. That’s enough. If you’ve squandered your wages for the last ten years, you don’t have to do that any more. You can do more sensible things with your money. What happens when you do more sensible things with your money? Your financial situation changes. How soon? Immediately. You CAN do this. The only question is WILL YOU? Only you know. Only you can decide. Why did you buy this book? I’m assuming it’s because you want to change or improve something in your life. You CAN do this. The only question is WILL YOU? Only you know. Only you can decide. Einstein once said that the definition of insanity was “Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results”. He was pretty smart, so we should probably listen to him!! I think I’ve made my point here but I’m going to say it one more time.
