Life Lessons and Valuable Resourcesb

A little over a year ago I was introduced to the world of personal improvement. I work in information systems and I was talking with a computer architect whom I respect. He handed me a set of CDs when I was having a particularly had time with work and said listen to this.

The CD set was by Anthony Robins. I had never listened to any of his stuff but for some reason thought he was a quack. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!

Tony robins taught me about goal setting, he taught me about how to talk to my self, he taught me about how I can work better with others, he taught me that I wasn't finished with learning just because I had finished my MBA a few years back.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE?

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SUCCEED?

DO YOU YOU KNOW WHAT SUCCESS IS FOR YOU?

DO YOU MAKE ALL THE MONEY YOU CAN MAKE?

ARE YOU WHERE YOU SHOULD BE?

Since listening to those CD's I have become enamored with personal development. Here are some of the successes I have had in the last year.

  • Quit smoking

  • Lost 40 pounds

  • Eliminated $24,000 in debt

  • Achieved over a 6 figure salary

  • Promoted to work with the executive team

  • Added a screened in porch to my house

  • Exercising regularly

  • Reduced blood pressure and cholesterol levels

  • Learned from some of the 100s of leaders on business and self development

  • Started a support group for Dad's who have children with disabilities

  • Started a coaching business

  • Started this site to recommend


This is only the beginning for me and these are my goals. I look forward to each day now and can't wait to begin each day.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING YOU WANT?

I enjoy my learning so much I want to share the resources with you. Here is a list of those recourses.

Success Magazine - This magazine is incredible. So of the top leaders of all time published this magazine and were written about in this magazine. Every month the magazine includes a CD/DVD with great information from people like Jim Rohn.

Jim Rohn - is known as America's foremost Business Philosophers. I personally heard him speak for the first time on a CD series I bought that I was listening to on my way to First Friday in March. I think he is one of the most dynamic speakers I have heard. Here is what Tony Robbins and Harvey Mackay say about him:

"I truly believe Jim Rohn is an extraordinary human being whose philosophy can enhance the quality of life for anyone who exposes themselves to it. He certainly had a positive impact on me at a time in my life when I was first forming the philosophies that guide me today."

- Anthony Robbins -
Author of 'Unlimited Power'

"Jim Rohn is one of the most articulate, powerful, thought-provoking speakers I've ever seen. His unique delivery and style puts him head and shoulders above the rest."

- Harvey Mackay -
Author of 'Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive'


Another impact full coach isBrian Tracy
