Foreword

When I heard that Mike Brescia was releasing a new book, I was excited
and immediately got a copy.

Here's why.

I've been reading Mike's wisdom for over 18 months now in his Your
Day To Win Ezine and not a day goes by that I don't glean a life
changing gem from his writings.

I've had the opportunity over the last 5 years to interview the most
successful people in the world today, Tony Robbins, Robert Allen, Mark
Victor Hansen, Les Brown, Jim Rohn and dozens of others, so I know
something good when I see it. And Mike Brescia has something good
within these pages. Real good.

Wherever you are in your life, you can open a page of Today Is Your

How to use this book

What you are about to read has changed the lives of thousands around the
world. And it can change your life.

“Today Is Your Day To Win” will send you on a path of introspection, self-
discovery, inner joy, self satisfaction, massive action, and with some “lucky
bounces” thrown in, outer success that few ever attain.

But I’ll warn you now…

If you read a few stories and get sucked in, wanting to read a bunch of them
all at once, STOP! Don’t do it.

Most people believe that if a little is good, then a lot must be better.
Sometimes that’s true. Most times it’s not.

The “more is better” belief system makes for overindulgence, addictions,
lack of appreciation and many other habit patterns that can squash a
person’s unlimited potential and turn their life into hell on earth.

Used correctly ‘Today Is Your Day To Win’ is an inspiring action guide to
a better life.

And like life, this book is meant to be lived one day at a time, not all at
once. If you follow this one simple instruction, it will be impossible for
you not to be changed dramatically.

So I must ask that you refrain from getting caught up in the enthusiasm that
each story stirs up and plow through the book in just a few days or weeks.

One Fast Session per day. Monday through Friday. That’s it.

And DO what each session says to do. Don’t fear, you can do it. Nothing
you’ll be asked to do in ‘Today Is Your Day To Win’ is beyond your
ability...IF you take it one day at a time. Soon you will find that inner and
outer success is not impossible.

You’ll see that it’s probable...IF you’ll just follow a few simple
instructions.

8
Again, don’t worry.

Each Fast Session is designed to motivate you and challenge you and push
you like no book you’ve ever read. With these daily calls to action, you’ll
find that you’re quickly able to make small changes... changes that produce
HUGE results.

At the time of this writing, over 70,000 people all over the world receive
only a couple of these sessions per week via email, and it’s changing their
lives. I get dozens of letters every single day from people across the globe
expressing their appreciation for what these simple yet inspiring sessions
have done for them...

Spaced repetition of positive, empowering, hope-filled thoughts is the key
to replacing bad habits with good ones.

If you read a number of sessions all at once… if you zoom through the
book, nothing will have changed for you because it can’t last. Soon you
will be back to the same old ways of feeling and acting.

Read one session per day five days per week and reflect on each day’s
session throughout your day. Focus only on that day’s session. Every
single one is important. Over the course of four and a half months, you’ll
have finished the book and will have been exposed to amazing information
in the most powerful way... repetitiously over time.

By then, no doubt, you’ll have taken massive actions, learned valuable life
lessons, witnessed your small daily achievements growing into large
important accomplishments and felt the satisfaction of doing the best you
are capable of...

Then, you should look back to where you were four months ago. If you do
what is in these pages, you should not be able to recognize who you were
before.

That is my dream for you, my new wonderful friend.

I know, as you read and work through the following pages, that your belief
in yourself will grow and grow and grow. Because of my experience with
people all over the world using ‘Your Day To Win,’ I absolutely know that
if you move through this book with purpose and persistence, you will be
able to do, be and have anything you can dream.
9
At the end of each day’s session, you’ll find ‘Today’s Empowering
Beliefs’. To get the most out of these, print them on 3x5 cards and read
them with emotion, shaking your head up and down as you read them. It
also helps to instill these powerful beliefs if you say to yourself, “YES!” or
“THAT’S RIGHT!” or “ABSOLUTELY!” as you read them – all the while
shaking your head up and down. Do this short activity three times per day,
once when you arise in the morning, once at lunch time and once before
you retire for the evening. This does take a few minutes per day, but isn’t
your happiness and success in life worth a few minutes? Deep inside you
know it is.

Limit your reading of your 3x5’s to 10-15 cards. Any more than this and
you’ll be overwhelmed. The rule of thumb is to find empowering beliefs
that you don’t currently have, where your attitudes and actions are opposite
to the statements.

Many people take these statements and type them into their copy of our
visual success conditioning software, Think Right Now! for Windows,
letting the software help to imprint them into their subconscious minds.

To learn more about the software, go to

Follow these simple directions, and I’m confident that ‘Today Is Your Day
To Win’ will be the most important personal development book you’ve
ever had the good fortune to own.

Your partner in success,

Mike Brescia
