Early in life, I was given a book entitled, "It Works". It's a spin-off, rip-off down and dirty version of the classic book by Napoleon Hill, "Think and Grow Rich".
After reading it, I wrote out specific Goals for my Life.......and I started working on them.
I started a business, I built the business, I sold the business.
After selling the business, I sat down and started writing some new goals for my life.
I read books on business, philosophy, religion, politics.....and decided that I wanted to take some time and money and dedicate it to helping people learn the lessons that helped me become successful. At first, I just bought (25) copies of the book, It Works, and handed them to friends and family.
But than something magical happened..... I gave a copy of the book to a kid I met in the gym.
Although most people intended to read the book and follow my footsteps to success.....life happens and most people probably never read the book...or didn't follow the advice laid out in the book?
But the kid in the gym, a young 22 year old Colombian man, decided he would humor me and read the book. I guess he had nothing else going for him at the time and decided to follow the life lessons written in the book....and his dreams became realty in less than (6) months!
Andres Cuervo, wrote his goals down on large post-it notes on his bedroom walls and read them everyday. It helped him focus on his goals and guided his subconscious mind to work towards his dreams. Within a few months, he signed a recording contract, recorded an album, and made a music video. His record label promoted him heavily in local clubs and media outlets. He started to become a local celebrity on the Spanish TV stations.....and decided to call me and share his success.

How cool! I gave (25) people a book....and I changed one persona life forever.
I decided that I should buy more books.....but than I thought, maybe I should write my own book?
I thought if I could change one person's life with (25) books, how many could I change with 50,000 copies? So I set out to write my own book....and give away 50,000 FREE COPIES!

So it's been (6) years, I've given away about 30,000 copies...I've been asked to speak at companies and share my story..... and although I have been successful.....I have failed!
I have failed becasue I haven't accomplished my #1 Goal....... Getting healthy and losing weight!
I've followed the steps...I've written my goals...I've tried diets, trainers, coaches, hypnotists, etc......but I have failed....... What step am I missing, I wondered?
Focus, Determination, and a Plan!
So I have decided 2013 is going to be the year......Focus, Determination, and execute the Plan!
100 lbs by December 31, 2013.... A hundred bottles of beer on the wall....
Take one down....pass it along.....
