The Foundation for All Success
WHERE ARE YOU? DON’T LIE Before I ask you to take stock of your life at this moment, let me make a request: be honest. Here, and throughout the book, I’m going to be asking you some tough questions. Don’t try to answer what you think I want to hear or what makes you feel good. This is what most people do without thinking, and though I understand the reflex, I’d like you to think about the importance of being truthful. It is only once we are honest with ourselves that we can move onward and upward to our dreams, aspirations, and desires. So with that thought in mind, let’s start with where you are in your life right this second. What does that mean exactly? What I don’t mean is for you to answer literally— that you’re reading this on your couch or on vacation or in the bathroom. I’m not talking about where you are physically. What I mean is: What situation or situations are you currently experi- encing in your life? Why are you reading this book? Maybe you’re struggling with the feeling of having untapped potential or you fear you’re living just an “okay life” rather than the life of your dreams. Maybe you’re trying to find something that can secure your finances because your back is against the wall and your mortgage and student loans are kicking your backside. Maybe you just want to start something new to help change your life for the better. If you can relate to any of these situations, great. Maybe you’re just getting out of college, or going through college, and you are confused about your future. If so, congrat- ulations for being at this place in your life! Maybe you think it’s time to reinvent yourself completely. Maybe you’re just sick of listening to someone giving you orders at the same mundane job you’ve had for a decade. If so, congratulations! Maybe you’re a business owner who is ready for more profits, ready for that next level, or ready to get the secrets that can catapult you to the next level. If so, I congratulate you for being here as well. I suggested these examples to help you think about your own situation, as well as to reassure you that wherever you’re at in your life, you’re not alone. So dig deep and just be honest
