INTRODUCTION
A lot of people are busy chasing success and are frustrated because things aren’t working out the way they want. Success eludes them like a butterfly. With all the hype about the “law of attraction” and thinking your way into whatever you want, people still aren’t getting the results they seek.
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “thoughts become things.” But is that all there is to getting what you want? You mean to tell me that all I have to do is think about becoming a millionaire and I’ll just get the money! Well then, how come I don’t have it yet? I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. As Cuba Gooding Jr. would say, “Show me the money!”
You’ve probably experienced the same thing yourself and still haven’t “attracted” what you want. Perhaps you just haven’t figured out “the secret.” Unlike popular beliefs, thoughts alone don’t become things. Action is required. It’s very unlikely that you will have a windfall brought to your feet by just sitting on your butt and daydreaming. But does this mean that you have to chase success? If it won’t land on your lap you probably need to pursue it, right? Success is not something you pursue. Much like chasing a butterfly, it can prove to be futile.
So what’s the point of this book? To bash success? Or bash the “law of attraction?” Not quite. But it doesn’t promote wishful thinking either. After reading this book you will have the fundamentals to build the lifestyle you want. This is not some hype or gimmick to tickle your ears. What you’ll learn is based on solid principles that have stood the test of time. Practical nuggets that when applied, will bring the results you want. As you read on, you’ll come to appreciate the beauty of compound interest when you have it working in your favor. I’m not just talking in financial terms. After all, there is more to success than money.
In life we get what we deserve. This means that the seeds we sow today will determine the crop we’ll reap tomorrow. As the saying goes, “you can’t plant corn if it’s peas you want to reap!” We get what we deserve! Not out of mere self-centeredness or egotism but based on the seeds we plant by our activity. Wishful thinking and daydreaming is not the way to go if you want tangible results to last a lifetime. Someday, I’ll go to Japan. Someday I’ll start my own business…someday… No, no, no my friend! The someday wishful thinking approach just won’t cut it!
If you want to become a basketball player you must master the fundamentals of the game. You have to know how to shoot hoops. But knowing alone isn’t enough. Mastery is important. You have to practice shooting from different angles to dunk the ball in the hoop when the competition gets tight and you have less than two seconds to win or lose the game. Life itself is like a game. That’s why it’s important to know the fundamental rules so you can use them to your advantage.
A few simple things practiced every day can make all the difference in how your life turns out. By reading this book you will come to know those things so you can spend most of your time doing them. Attracting the success you want is not a mystery. It’s not hard either. In fact it’s quite easy. That’s because it’s something that you can do. However, don’t be fooled by the word easy. Sometimes what’s easy to do is also easy not to do and this is where people mess up. But that doesn’t have to be you.
You picked up this book because you are determined to build a better life for yourself. By applying what you learn from this book, you’ll be able to do that. Unlike winning the lottery, success is not by chance. It’s achievable, without guesswork. You can have the lifestyle, the relationships and the income you want. Just turn the page to find out how…
