An e-book excerpt from

This book is dedicated to all those courageous men and women who have
ever dared to step out of the dominant culture of resignation and mediocrity
and endeavor to create the life of their dreams. I honor and salute you!

Life is like a combination lock; your job is to
find the right numbers, in the right order, so you
can have anything you want.
BRIAN TRACY
If we did all the things we are capable of doing,
we would literally astound ourselves.
