Chapter Title: Are You Sitting Uncomfortably?
Then I'll Begin

Introduction

Are you happy right now? Sad? Frustrated? Do you want more from your life? Do you have a dream, but are afraid to follow it? What’s your story right now? And what do you want it to be? Whatever your story at the moment, you can change. We all can.

 

This book will help you change, and build the life of your dreams. Within these pages there is a magic formula for success and happiness. That’s right – a magic formula. You’ll learn how to build a business you’re passionate about and follow a proven route to earn one million within five years. But you’ll learn much more than simply how to make money – you’ll learn how to live the life of your dreams. I believe anyone can become a millionaire, and live their dream life.

 

Do you believe me? What if I told you that not so long ago I had nothing, except for a sense of frustration and boredom with my life? It’s true – my story didn’t used to be a dream come true. But I discovered a blueprint, or action plan, for creating an amazing life, and this book is about sharing that plan with you right now. You’ll have to work hard, but you’ll know you’re following a very simple formula that is proven to be highly effective. While you learn this formula, you’ll get to know five people who all started successful businesses they were passionate about and earned one million within five years.

 

You’ll hear their personal stories, their problems, their crises of confidence and their moments of joy – and follow their journey to the life they always dreamed of. By learning the successes of others who started right from the bottom and worked their way up, you’ll understand just how straight-forward and achievable it is for you to do the same thing. I believe you’ve been led to this book, because you know you need this sort of information. And because I believe you’ve been led to this book, I know the information you have in your hands right now is absolutely the right information for you at this point in your life.

 

This book is something you can use to completely change your life, just like myself and others have done, and I believe now is the right time for you to put this information to good use and do something totally amazing – creating a life beyond your wildest dreams. But let’s stop for a moment. I’d like to focus on you. Why did you pick up this book, and what are you hoping to get out of it? Where are you at this moment in your life? What sort of work do you do and how do you feel about it? What do you think is possible for you to achieve in life? What are your hopes and dreams? What restrictions have you perhaps put on your own life that have prevented you doing or trying certain things? What do you believe you need to own, or be qualified in, to be successful? What are you sure you can achieve, and what do you definitely think you can’t achieve? Take a moment to think about these things. Don’t worry – I’ll wait for you.

 

OK, now I imagine for most of you there will be areas of life you’d like to improve upon. And if you’d like to make improvements, that means making changes. I believe the reason you picked up this book is because, either consciously or unconsciously, you’d like to see some big changes in your life. Maybe some of you are reasonably comfortable where you are right now, but I’m guessing quite a few of you are feeling quite uncomfortable. You’re ‘sitting uncomfortably’ with your life as it is. Perhaps you’re struggling to start a business, or are stuck in a job you hate.

 

Perhaps you’re in a job you used to love, but really don’t enjoy it anymore. But this is good. In fact, it’s great. Why? Because if you’re uncomfortable, you’re ready to make big changes in your life – changes that will lead to the life of your dreams. If there’s discomfort in your life right now, you’re at the doorway of change – and making big changes is what achieving your dream life is all about. I promise if you use this book to change your life, you will never, ever regret it.

 

Whatever your life story right now, I urge you to read this book carefully from beginning to end. Follow it methodically, do what it says in each chapter and use it as a map, or a blueprint, for your success. You’ve already taken the first step on your dream life journey by picking up this book. And I’m excited for you. Your life is about to change in the most amazing way.

 

So now you’re ready to start the journey. This book is about to catapult you into the millionaire’s club, by showing you how to be successful at a job you love. Let’s begin right away, because when it comes to living the life of your dreams, there isn’t a moment to lose. In the first chapter, you’ll meet the five millionaires who’ll show you how easy it is to become successful. So meet me there.
