Join me on my journey to success and you can plan your own journey to a destination of your dreams. Bringing your dreams into reality is far more possible than you think. Why? Because you are far more capable of achievement than you think. Let me explain.Your age doesn't matter. I am over 70 years of age now, but I know that if I had planned my journeys throughout my life the way I have planned this journey, then my previous dreams would have been realised and I would have achieved far more success than I did.I consider myself as average. 3 marriages, 4 children and a reasonable career working on the Railway. But there have been several occasions throughout my life when I wanted more: · As a young lad I wanted to be a professional footballer· As a young man I wanted to be a successful Salesman · Later in life an entrepreneur and a millionaireNone of these turned into fruition. These were not just dreams; I was motivated to achieve them all, but succeeded in none. When I was motivated these dreams turned into achievable reality. I worked to achieve them. A good example is the "entrepreneur". I attended an Anthony Robbins seminar. Anthony Robbins is an American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach. He is well known for his infomercials, seminars and self-help books. I even walked the hot coals bare footed. It was expensive and perhaps, if I could have afforded to attend more of his seminars, then my motivation would have maintained. Unfortunately, it wasn't. This was a major learning curve in my present journey:· Motivation turns dreams into achievable goals.· If you cannot maintain motivation achievable goals turn back into dreams.I have found motivation reasonably easy to obtain. Maintaining motivation - well that's far more difficult. Life goes on and initial motivation is worn away by daily living. Dreams turned into goals, and then back into dreams. In my present journey though, I have found the answer. Not only has my initial motivation been maintained (18 Months now at point of writing this Book), it has increased considerably. In this Book I will explain how my dreams were motivated into achievable goals and how my motivation has been increased. I will show you how these goals were set and where necessary modified to meet my expectations of achievement. Let me first explain how I commenced planning my journey to bringing my dreams into reality. I am now retired having worked on Britain's Railways for 50 years. Most of these years were involved in training, both Instructing and development. In my mid-twenties a survey was carried out that identified that a higher average of staff working on the Railway died within two years from retirement than any other Industry. I can understand the reasoning as throughout my life work was a large and enjoyable commitment. To suddenly stop work can take a large element out of your life. If you have no replacement then retirement could, and appeared by the survey results, have devastating effects. This survey has remained within my mind throughout my career and I always had thoughts about what I needed to do to replace my work on retirement. This is where my dreams came into being and now that I am retired I'm bringing those dreams into reality.You may have noticed that I have not mentioned in any detail my dreams, goals or destination. This will be included in some detail within the content, but this is just to show examples of how I have used them to progress in my journey and to help you plan and progress yours. So, if you wish to become: · a millionaire · par golfer · film star · best selling author · professional footballer · director · entrepreneur · whatever your dreams are Read on.

This is a book for the person who is hungry for an answer. I know that feeling. I was stuck in it for years and as a Coach and Speaker, I have noticed there is a constant theme for us all. We have read all of the success books, we have gone to the seminars but when we go to execute their wonderful information a feeling comes up. We lay in bed and just don't "feel" like doing what they suggest even though we know it will make our life better. That "feeling" stops us from executing one or more steps they suggest we take to make our lives better. I couldn't overcome that feeling either. Here I was an alcoholic, a sex addict, sugar addict, spending addict, tobacco addict, love addict, I had gone bankrupt, been through two horrific divorces, a child custody battle, I played two professional sports I never wanted to play and I contemplated suicide. None of the books showed me or explained where that feeling comes from, why we all get it and how to overcome it. Without that information, I couldn't execute all of their wonderful suggestions. So this is my story and how I took all of that great information from all of those great success teachers, I collated it and then added to it. I discuss where that feeling comes from, why we all get it and how to overcome it. This book bridges the gap. When you have this information, this skillset to overcome that "feeling" than you can put into place all of their incredible advice and have the personal and professional success we are all searching for.

"Our job is to be there when things are bad." Matt Newman said this to financial planners on a daily basis as a wholesaler in the financial services industry. He constantly preached the need to plan in advance, to be prepared for the unexpected and inevitable. As a young man in his late thirties, he lived a healthy lifestyle, had a beautiful family, and a successful career. He practiced what he preached, and made sure he had a financial plan in place for his family. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction: Life was about to change drastically. After he began experiencing horrible headaches, insomnia, and strange speech issues, he realized something was very wrong. Four months into dealing with these issues, he finally went to the hospital; the doctors confirmed the worst; he had grade three astrocytoma. Matt was diagnosed with brain cancer at 39 years old. Luckily, he had someone to help him through every terrible moment. Matt's own father-in-law Larry had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three years earlier. The two men found support in each other and their combined family as they worked to find normalcy in an abnormal situation. Matt's memoir chronicles the journey that his entire family and support group took together which got him to a place of clarity, understanding and appreciation.
