How to read this book?

Everyone learn differently, and you probably know how you learn best. And though there are many ways that you can read this book, I'd like to make a few suggestions that may be helpful.You may want to read this book through once just to get a feel for the total process before you start the work of creating the life you truly want. The principles are presented in an order that builds one upon the other. They are like the numbers in a combination lock- you need all the numbers, and you need them in the right orders, or age you are. If you know the combination, the lock has to open for you. Remember, the principles only work if you work the principles.

Of course, any change requires sustained effort to overcome years worth of internal and external resistance. Initially you may find yourself getting very excited about all this new information. You may feel a new found sense of hope and enthusiasm for the new vision of your life as it can be.

You may also find that there will be times when you wonder, why isn't all of this working faster? why haven't I already achieved my goal? why aren't I rich already?why don't I have the man or woman of my dreams by now? when am I going to achieve my ideal weight Success takes time, effort, perseverance and patience. If you apply all of the principles and techniques covered in this book. You will achieve your goals. You will realize your dreams. But it won't happen tonight.

It's natural in the achievement of any goal to come upon obstacles, to feel temporarily stuck on a plateau. This is normal. Anyone who has ever played a musical instrument, participated in a sport, or practiced a martial art knows that you hit plateaus where it seems as if you are making no progress whatsoever. That is what the uninitiated often quit, give up, drop out or take up another instrument or sport. But the wise have discovered if they just keep practicing their instrument, sport, or martial art (or, in your case, the success principles in this book), eventually they make what feels like a sudden leap to a higher level of proficiency. Be patient. Hang in there. Don't give up. You will break through. The Principles always work.
