Jack Canfield
He came up to me like anyone else. I had just flown across the
country to the University of Massachusetts, where I had earned my
masters degree in education, because they were presenting me with
a Lifetime Achievement Award—something I wasn’t all that sure
about, because I still had a lot of living left to do!
When he introduced himself, he did something that thousands
of other people have done before and since—said how much he
enjoyed my work with Chicken Soup for the Soul®. But then he did
something unusual, something few people had ever done before,
something that got my attention. He produced what looked like a
handmade book manuscript and said, “Mr. Canfield, I wonder if
you could take a look at this.”
He then explained that he had discovered something that would
change the world of self-help as we know it . . . because he had
discovered why so many smart, creative, talented people—people
who’d spent tens of thousands of dollars on traditional self-help
programs—are still stuck and going down the road of life with one
foot on the brake!
Something about the way he spoke made me pay attention. He
wasn’t cocky or arrogant; rather, something about his quiet manner
said that he had simply solved a problem that many, many people
would like to know the solution to.

vi Foreword
I glanced at his tape-bound book—it was literally bound with
a piece of tape! It wasn’t much to look at, but I noticed that he had
already garnered impressive testimonials from people who were
saying that his work had changed, and in some cases, saved their
lives.
Maybe it was pure instinct, but something told me there was
something special here. I looked up from his homemade book and
said, “Yes, this looks good. I’ll send it to my publisher.” The look
on his face was priceless. To say he was surprised would be like
saying the Grand Canyon is a pretty big hole.
After Noah’s first book came out, he and I continued to stay in
touch. As I watched him grow and touch more and more people
through his seminars and coaching programs, I felt like a proud
papa—seeing my young protégé expand his reach and help tens of
thousands of people around the world.
With the release of this new book, The Secret Code of Success,
I feel that Noah is about to take the leap into true greatness. Few
times in a generation does someone come along with a way of look-
ing at a question as old as, “Why do so many people hold themselves
back from the success they’re capable of?” and come up with an answer
that is at once so simple and yet so powerful.
But even more importantly, the way Noah solves this problem
will allow you—no matter how rich or poor, how happy or un-
happy, how stuck or successful you already are—to get your foot
off the brake and allow yourself to succeed at higher levels in your
life, career, and relationships than you’ve ever experienced before.
No matter what area of your life you want to improve—whether
you want to make more money, enjoy more time off, have better
relationships, improve your productivity, lose weight, or gain self-
confidence—Noah will not only help you to achieve your goals . . .
he’ll show you how to reach them faster, easier, and with far less
effort than you’re spending now!
It’s not often that someone you meet makes such a difference
in your life, and moreover, helps you make more of a difference in

the lives of others. No matter who you are or how you came to this
work, the pages that follow will allow you to enter a new life.
That’s why it’s my great pleasure to introduce you to my col-
league and friend, Noah St. John and his work, The Secret Code of
Success.
In closing, I just have one question for you . . .
What are you waiting for?
All my best,

The “Secret” of Success in Life and Business
This is not your father’s success book.
I was in Los Angeles recently having lunch with some friends
who are millionaires and deca-millionaires—people worth $1 mil-
lion to $10 million and up. As I looked around the table, some-
thing made me smile. I noticed that none of us looked remarkable
in any way. No one was wearing an expensive suit—some of us
looked like we were on our way to a pool party. We weren’t discuss-
ing anything particularly deep or earth-shattering. I realized that
we were really average in every visible way. You would have prob-
ably walked right by if you saw any of us on the street.
So what did this group of “regular people” do to enter the top
income bracket in the world—while most continue to struggle and just
get by? And more importantly: How can you learn their “secret code”
so that you can enjoy this kind of success in your life and business?
In the pages that follow, you’ll learn:
• What separates the top 3 percent from the rest of the world
• How to get rid of the head trash that’s holding you back
• A little assumption that’s costing you a fortune
• The foolproof formula for getting your foot off the brake,
tailored specifically to you, so you can succeed over and over
again at whatever you choose
