Suppressed Bible Secrets Laid Bare
The John Gospel Code Unveiling The Contraband Message
by Ted Ciuba
To sum up John’s problem and his charge…
John is the only person on Earth in possession of the illumined words Jesus spoke to his initiatic inner circle that fateful final evening…
John wanted to effectively transmit the mystic message of Jesus to a future epoch of humanity through a present age of mistrust and intrigue…
He did what he was inspired to do. He coded it into his mysterious story about the Christ, which became the anchor gospel of the Biblical canon, awaiting the magic day it could breathe again.
The Original Message Unveiled!
Today we find ourselves with the code – given us in recent
years by quantum physics – which allows us to unveil the
contraband message John coded into his ununderstandable but
politically correct words.
It tells a different, far more glorious story than you’ve been led
to believe.

INTRODUCTION: IT TAKES SO LITTLE TO EXCEL
As an achiever, would you agree with me that you must go the
extra mile? I thought so…
Surely you know if you do what average people do, you'll get
the same kind of average results they do. And you want more!
And it's actually quite easy to stand out, because most people
wouldn't dream of going the extra mile. But for you and me, while,
yes, it takes something extra, yes, it takes drive and discipline….
The amazing thing is, it takes so little to excel!
After all, it's called the extra mile,
not the extra 100 miles!
Be that as it may, we're talking
about the positive rewards that come
to you in any economy by going the
extra mile.
It was Roger Bannister who defied
and redefined history by running the
sub 4 minute mile.
And the amazing thing is that
Bannister did NOT spend the countless
hours and hours practicing that
conventional training would guide him to. He gave it what he
could... In his busy pre-med Oxford schedule he took a mere 30
minutes out of his daily lunch hour to train and run. And with that
he set a world record that had towered 3,000 years!
He ushered in a new era of possibility. Though no one had ever
broken it, within 2 1/2 years time of Bannister's record-breaking,
seemingly unachievable sub 4 minute mile, 18 others were doing it.
And how did he do it?... It wasn't a function of time.
It was intention. Roger Bannister, in the short, focused, regular,
intense, intended few minutes per day he wrested from his busy
Oxford pre-med studies was throwing himself into the sport. He
Roger Bannister
Runs Sub 4 Minute Mile
6 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
gave it everything he could, as an additional interest and pursuit in
his life...
You see, when Roger Bannister suffered the ignominious defeat
of coming in 5th place in the 1952 Olympics, right then and there,
he determined to be the first human to run the sub 4 minute mile!
It was just a "thought". It's just another instance and
undisputable illustration, my friend, of the power of intention
powered by determination.
Moments before 6 pm on 6 May 1954, he takes a breath of
vision and determination. He feels it! He confides to his
pacemakers "The sub 4 minute attempt is on!"
Short moments later the shot is fired... The runners are off!!
Roger Bannister breaks the string at the end of the mile in 3
minutes, 59 seconds, and 4/10's, trailblazing into the sub 4 minute
mile age!
Recognition Point!! - This was NOT an unintended event!
Recognition point!! Little efforts, little accomplishments - short,
focused, regular, intense, intended training sessions - gear into
colossal events!
This didn't happen by good luck or timing... Roger Bannister
didn't "drift" over the finish line into the annals of history... It was
the thing he geared all his intentions to accomplish, even though he
didn't spend hours and hours a day in the quest to achieve it.
Which names this series, The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile…
Now you, honoring Roger Bannister's history-setting
accomplishments and methods, can make the same kind of
history-breaking progress in sub 4 minutes a day!
Now you can defy your own status quo in short, focused,
regular, intense, intended training sessions and redefine
your personal possibilities!
Don’t They Say You Can’t Say Anything
New Exquisitely Well?
The remark the man made really wasn’t offensive in anyway,
because it’s a common conception. You’ve heard, no doubt, of the
starving artist? A writer is an artist in that sense. He said, “Oh,
you’re a writer? That’s a useless profession! There’s nothing new
that can be said.”
I’m sure I wouldn’t agree with the useless part, but that one
can’t say anything new, in some respects (not counting technical
writing, as in, for instance, no one in Solomon’s age wrote about
how to fly an airplane), I must agree. As far back as human history
goes, the greatest writers among us have said such.
Here’s one of the ancients. This writing has been attributed to
Solomon, one of the other kings of the Jews:
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
and there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already,
in the ages before us.

There is no remembrance of former things,
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to happen among those who
come after.
(Eccl. 1.8-11)
From the ancient world, we travel forward on the reel of time to
the modern world, citing John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing
the same theme:
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to
play the game.
It’s eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasy.
All you need is love.
And then they transmute and extend it the next time they come
into the refrain:
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be
you in time,
It’s eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasy.
All you need is love.
Solomon’s passage points out that, even though it can’t be new,
you need to say it anyway, because, “The eye is not satisfied with
seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.” In other words there’s
always a call for more.
Further, since people have no awareness what the writer says is
not new, it will sound new and amazing. Say it. People do not
Performing Alongside Others Who Had To Drag Themselves Out Of Bed 9
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
remember what has been said, and though there is nothing new
under the sun no matter when or where you live (do note, we are
living in the future Solomon was pointing toward), people won’t
remember then, either.
The obvious conclusion is… Get out there and write.
Isn’t that what both writers, Solomon and the Lennon and
McCartney team are saying?
The formula, the way out is “you can learn how to be you in
time.” That doesn’t mean just necessarily in “time” since you’re an
incarnate being living in “time.” That means in rhythm. With a
groove. It means feeling good, bringing your gift, your joy, your
way, your spirit to the world.
Say it. And don’t they say you can’t say anything new
exquisitely well?
At The Altar Of Your Divinity
Though my professional orientation frequently slams
conventional education and training, there is a lot of it that is good,
useful, and necessary. It serves a vital and civilizing role in society.
That being said, to be outstanding, you still have to come to a
place where you intervene and start to think for yourself.
The only way you can do that is by coming to know the God of
your understanding in prayer and meditation. They don’t and can’t
teach that at school. They go more for conformity than for
developing one’s uniqueness and potential contributions.
And when you do tune in, which process develops your capacity
to think for yourself, you discover that trying to be a carbon copy
or a modified version of somebody else is not what is intended for
you at all. That’s probably, as well, why you haven’t had any great
success at it so far…
There’s your own song inside of you. Tune in and hear not only
that song, but receive the guidance and the courage you need to
sing it out loud, as well.
We are creatures of spirit. Though most in Western society have
forgotten about it, we have the ability to make contact. We can live
and die herding like glorified animals… Most do.
But we are E.T.s. We are of the spirit, and we are given
something to do for spirit, and we’ll never be truly happy or
fulfilled unless we are engaged in that activity.

They call what they do in school “norming” the populace. They
call people like you and me, “troublemakers.” It’s just the way it is.
Tune in, and discover that what you’re supposed to do doesn’t
have anything to do with any comparison to anybody else. Listen to
that voice of being that ever burns at the altar of your Divinity.
Performing Alongside Others Who Had
To Drag Themselves Out Of Bed
This is another one of those discoveries proven in a university
that makes such common sense that we didn’t need a study to prove
it. And that is, your daily dedicated effort is what propels you to
the big time. It’s your daily passion in what you are doing that
drives you to put in more than anybody else would do, that drives
you to do the things that others flat will not and do not do. That
orients you not only to do them and not to suffer, but also to gear
passionately in doing them passionately well.
For instance, if you’re a swimmer, you’re up at 5:30 am. And
that’s not waking up; that’s you’re at the pool laughing and jostling
with your buddies, joking about other people who won’t make it up
until a couple hours later, after you’ve been stroking the pool for
ninety solid minutes. That’s in addition to the technique specific
practice you did.
Then you went to work and school feeling fit, trim, vital, and
energized. And you’re performing alongside others who had to
drag themselves out of bed.
So that you turn into an achiever is not surprising. Other people
say, “Are you kidding me?!” These are the ones who show up once
to that morning practice and swear, “I’m not going to screw up my
life for this!”
You, of course, don’t view it as screwing up your life. You
embrace good solid sleeping patterns. You willingly moderate your
activities, as, for instance, when you do imbibe, you do so in
14 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
moderation. Neither drinking, nor drinking to excess are part of
your life style. And you’re feeling good at 5:30 in the morning.
There’s a distinct inversion of attitudes from what could be and
what you willingly embrace.
Added up, these different attitudes, approaches, and activities
make you exceptional.
What makes you exceptional is loving your daily dedicated
effort. Like the musician who plays scales. One says she plays
scales ad infinitum. Another, ad nauseam. Is it surprising that the
one who views it ad nauseam never develops to concert pitch?
Those who enjoy scales, too, labeling the exercise ad infinitum,
get lost in the scales. That they develop and turn into super
musicians happens by itself. Truth is, they’re loving what they
should do every day along the way.
The study affirms that kind of daily dedicated effort makes you
exceptional.
President John F. Kennedy, Wordgician
President John F. Kennedy, many acclaim, gave the greatest
speech ever given, his Moon Speech at Rice University, 12
September 1962, delivered less than three months before he was
assassinated.
The space race was on between the superpowers, and Russia
was in the lead, not only into space, but with Yuri Gagarin as pilot,
launching the first human in space, too. President Kennedy was
determined to right that wrong by putting a human being with the
American flag on the moon before the Russians, before the decade
of the sixties ended.
That decision was made and activated in 1961, and now it’s
September 1962. People are complaining about the high cost of the
space program. In part to address that. he goes to Rice University,
amongst the brains making it happen.
Comparison and contrast is a staple in the persuasive arts,
because it can make one thing clear when juxtaposed beside
another. I do recommend you listen to or read the entire speech,
because today we delight from just a single instance of comparison
and contrast.
“To be sure, this costs us all a good deal of money. This
year’s space budget is three times what it was in 1961. And
it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight
years combined. That budget now stands at $5.4 billion a
year, a staggering sum! though somewhat less than we pay
for cigarettes and cigars every year.”
16 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
Did you catch that? The space budget is three times what it was
the previous year. He acknowledges that fact. That’s what he’s on
the carpet for, after all. Then he builds the intensity, pointing out
further, it exceeds the combined budget of the previous eight years
added together! And he rightly calls that - remember that’s what
the criticism is coming at – “a staggering sum.”
And then, in one humorous aside he whittles it down and carries
on, capping it with, “though somewhat less than we pay for
cigarettes and cigars every year.”
Pure brilliance! He’s talking about the money it’s costing, and
he’s even acknowledging it’s going to continue to rise.
Then the phrase he carries on with is, “Even though I realize
this is in some measure an act of faith and vision…” He doesn’t say
it is an act of faith and vision. It is in some measure, which is a
presupposition built in that actually builds the value he’s making,
concluding with another point the critics are charging, “for we do
not now know what benefits await us.”
And, the way it comes off, people now view this as a weighty
thing we must do. They are ready to march!
He effectively sells the people on the massive budget, even in
the face of not knowing exactly what we can expect to get out of
the investment.
Brilliant wordgician this man, John F. Kennedy, was, sleighting
agreement on the big contentions from the entire nation of two-
hundred million people in fewer than eighteen minutes of talk time.

What Is Today A Programming
Statement
Though it seems abstruse and recondite, there’s a very clear
science behind making effective affirmations, just as there is a very
clear science behind the harmony in music that makes something
pleasing versus discordant. Or the harmony in colors a visual artist
mixes that satisfies the human spirit versus causing disjointedness
and alienation.
Let’s take an affirmation for an example and look at it with a
quantum lens to “see” the science. Ostensibly, the reason for this
exercise is so that we can then consciously evaluate, construct, and
deploy our own powerful affirmations.
Here’s the sample affirmation:
“I love my work, the rewards it provides, and I profit
handsomely thereby.”
We sound a warning before you smart guys in the back go
snickering,
“Yuck! I don’t love my job, I don’t even like it, it
doesn’t provide any rewards, and I’m noooottt profiting
handsomely thereby!”
Remember, there is a science to affirmations, and it works in
reverse, too. Is that what you want??
18 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
Science isn’t science if it’s conjecture. Science means we have
found the structure and we have acquired the capability to comply
our ways so we benefit from the phenomena under study, just like
we found the structure of the wind, and now we can set our sails
and use the wind to get us whichever direction we’re going on the
surface or above the surface of the globe. It will work for anybody
who complies with the phenomena involved.
However, let’s assume you’re sincere, and the sample
affirmation affirms a condition that isn’t your current actual
experience to help us determine the science in play. You say, “I
love my work, the rewards it provides, and I profit handsomely
thereby!” and you feel cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance, combined of two separate words, relates
to the mind or mental component with cognitive, and the fact of
being out of harmony with the dissonance word.
Therein is part of the unseen science of affirmations. Assuming
you neither discount nor compartmentalize the concept because of
its “unreality,” which is precisely the point so many rationalists
blow it, the cognitive dissonance you feel births two things.
One, it triggers the self-fulfilling prophecy. You start realizing,
“I don’t love my work, but other people do. I don’t love my work,
but I would like to do “x,” and I know I would love that, and I
know I would love the rewards it provides.” Your mind moves
along those lines, and, motivated by the contrast between the
actuality of your current situation and the felicity of the ideal you
envision, begins further to say, “And I’ll figure out a way…”
Your cognitive dissonance, compelled from the affirmation,
opens up possibility and drives you to creativity. In other words,
you being unhappy causes the same thing as you having a headache
causes you to go to the medicine chest. You being uneasy when
you engage this affirmation causes your mind to say, “Something’s
Performing Alongside Others Who Had To Drag Themselves Out Of Bed 19
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
not right,” and that motivates you into action solving it. That’s one
of the two things that happens.
The second phenomenon cognitive dissonance births relates
more to the channel of the law of attraction. The quantum nature of
reality is a vibrating holographic world. Everything structures in
octaves. There’re harmonies within harmonies, and cycles within
and without, above and below. There are higher vibrations, higher
frequencies, as well as lower frequencies sounding at all times –
none of which you are consciously aware of. This used to be hard
sell, but in today’s scientific age it’s as common as radio.
Further, quantum physics tells us everything is connected, all
space. Of course, space becomes a funny term when you
understand it’s really not empty at all… That conscious
electromagnetic energy connecting everything, that is everything,
facilitates the working of the law of attraction.
You start saying, “I don’t love my work, but I want to…” And
your heart creates a moving vision of that work you do love… And
you reflect on it more. It grows, and it takes on an existence of its
own. And as you develop and apply the laundry list of your ideal
work situation, the image – which is itself a thought, an
electromagnetic field – becomes clearer and stronger.
You know how magnetism works. That electromagnetic form-
field then attracts from the world at large, which is just more of the
web of the one electromagnetic field with rhythms and fields within
rhythms and fields, the counterpart form of it to move toward the
source of the magnetic energy, you.
There’s vastly more to the subject, of course, but this is enough
to counter the unreasoned argument against affirmations that they
obviously aren’t true. That’s arguing from a faulty premise…
The purpose of an affirmation is NOT that it currently be true;
the purpose of an affirmation is to create the situation you want.

When you understand the science behind affirmations you can
create them to fulfill their time to come into season. You get these,
popularly called “untrue” affirmations working for you, instead of
discounting them and continuing on your unmerry way.
Electromagnetic quantum says everything is connected, every
effect has a cause, everything affects everything else, and the law
of attraction works. When you say what is today a programming
statement, tomorrow you’ll marvel in good feelings realizing it has
become your current circumstance.
I know, as a writer on quantum empowerment themes,
associating with the brightest minds planet Earth produces, both in
the flesh and in the quantum realms, I’m sure happy I began saying
this very affirmation when I was throwing chains amongst the
crushing individuals on that East Texas drilling rig floor…
“I love my work, the rewards it provides, and I profit handsomely
thereby.”
Therein you have laid bare the unseen science behind “untrue”
affirmations. Pay attention, get conscious, engineer and cause the
personal and professional life you choose. While all things fulfill
their seed time, it’s easier than you dream.
The Hard Job Of Rebuilding
Miseducation – Profile On Malcolm X
I got the request, so I extended my hand, and the young man
expressed a sincere desire for my assistance, so I began to counsel
him. The short story is, he had run his life into the ground,
primarily due to addictions at a young, young age and a bad family
environment. By the time he’s 27 he’s got a kid, no job, and he’s
institutionalized occasionally so he can dry out. Catch my drift?
He’s worthless. He’s feeling that. AND I know what he doesn’t
know: without course correction death isn’t far away - or insanity.
I know of one person who went insane, and for all the burden it
caused her family, she stayed in that insane asylum for 26 years—
until she died. She was the mother of Malcolm X, whose husband,
Malcolm’s father, was murdered. Which is not the story we’re
talking about here... Or is it?
Malcolm X has a story very similar to this young man's. You
see, this boy’s going to jail. He’s got four months to serve. He
enters in five days as I record this. I’m not going to see him; I’m
not even local, but I've got to try to give him some help.
And so I look at his situation and think, “What can I do for him
by way of heroes? How can I offer a good role model for him to
take up?” I go into meditation with these thoughts, and then I drift
off to sleep. When I wake up in the morning, Malcolm X has been
presented to me as the solution—not only the solution for the hero
question, but for the whole premise, everything that’s involved.

The problem with this young man is not that he’s inherently
bad. His problem is a critical lack of education, a lack few people
have even got close enough to so they understand it. He can’t even
make basic decisions.
And then it dawned on me, “Bing, wait a minute!” That’s not a
lack of education, although he does have a serious lack there, too,
as did the famous Malcolm X. You know what’s going to happen if
you drop out of school at 13-15 years of age… But what they really
had was miseducation.
One cannot grow up without being educated in some way.
Those are formative years. The problem is they both did get an
education from their environments, through the way in which they
grew up and the things that were presented to them. The problem is
their education was terrible. If the choices they made were not
good, they were just living out the ways they were educated.
They got miseducated!
So I’m telling this young man, “The people you’re going to be
spending your time with for the next four months are not the people
you really want to associate with in your life.” He knows that; he’s
bright. I told him, “You need a hero.” And then I unveiled Malcolm
X.
Here’s what happened to Malcolm. His father was murdered,
they think by a white man. They did have to move several times,
and they did have the Ku Klux Klan burn down one of their houses
and threaten them in others. Plus, three of his four uncles were
murdered by white people.
He lived through all that in poverty; his mother went crazy. In
time, he ended up with a prison sentence because of burglary, petty
crimes and larcenies. We’re not talking about big crimes like
selling shiploads of marijuana, we’re talking about selling
individual joints. Some hero, huh?

When he was in jail, of all places, he finally realized he was so
much more than what he had been living out, and that he had been
misusing his talent. An awareness and a light dawned on him as he
realized that he was miseducated.
He realized, finally, that he had a whole lot of problems, yet he
was the one who was creating them. Whether it was by
miseducation or not, the results were the same. Blame, anger,
resentment served no benefit. The thing that distinguished Malcolm
X from hundreds of thousands of other incarcerated American
citizens that year was that he then mustered the courage and
strength to act on that realization.
He couldn’t put the blame on his environment, because what
good could that do? He still would have acted the way he had
acted, based on the way he was raised. If he didn't put a stop to it,
he was going to keep getting the same results. Prison is not a good
place for an alert intellect. His whole life could’ve gone that way.
He was petty, as they are in Nowhere Land; he was just another
gigolo. He was doing that, too, baby.
He saw it. He realized he needed to re-build and reconstruct
himself. He needed to re-educate himself, if he was going to be
somebody - if he was going to be able to say things in society and
have people listen to him. Because they didn’t pay much attention
to him as he was. Being incarcerated, by any standards, is worse
than being a zero.
You already know about the Malcolm X who rose from those
ashes, a major societal influence in his own time. He was educated
and articulate in every sense of the word. But he made himself that
way. He followed up with the limited resources he had inside
prison by doing a thing you have probably considered before.
Nearly every person I’ve ever mentioned it to has at one time or
another said, "Gee, I’d be really smart if I started at the beginning
24 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
of the dictionary and read right through till the end. If I read every
word, I’ll be brilliant!"
I know of some people who have even started the project, and
read over a hundred entries before they let it fall away.
But I know of one guy who started it and finished it: Malcolm
X, the guy who was labeled a juvenile delinquent at age 13, and
dropped out of school at 15. He started with the word aardvark,
which is still the first real word in the dictionary.
You already know the results.
If you’re going into jail, if you live in a hostile environment,
then you’re obviously getting circumstances and results you don’t
like. You either get yourself straight, or you’re going to go back
eventually by the pronto route.
“You have an opportunity here,” I told the young man, “like the
great Malcolm X did.” I say he was great because, as a human
individual, he was able to see what was going on, analyze it, put the
brakes on, and pick up the hard work of building a new temple -
starting anew from the very first brick.
He knew that was what he had to do, and he did it.
You have an opportunity here.
Get Up And Take Action
One day Dr. Maxwell Maltz is out for a walk. He encounters an
individual he’s known some years, down and out, bankrupt, ruined,
disgraced. Maltz listens to this for a bit; obviously he’s a cultured
man. Then he got a chance to give his conclusion. And his
conclusion was very succinct, very to the point, very humorous.
And I submit part of that humor is because it is so true and
everybody can identify with this.
What did he say? He said “My friend, the fact is you’re
bankrupt. It’s only your opinion that you’re ruined and disgraced.”
Good one! Disempowered or empowered thinking, what is your
view? The event just is. And a bad event, when it’s used as a
motivator is, in fact, a good event.
Juman nature being what it is it is, we – whether as an
individual, family unit, company, country, or world – tend to put
off addressing things until we are forced to.
So, going bankrupt is definitely an event. Bankruptcy is a result.
It’s certainly an event with a number of hard bumps, and it
certainly would send anybody scrambling.
But ruined and disgraced? There have been other people who
used it. Finally let go, free, and educated, they rebuilt a new life, a
new way, the proper way, something more in line with their
passions.
You can be a victim of your own invention. What is actually
happening is not the important thing. The “actually happening” in

this event is a bankruptcy. The down and out, the being disgraced,
is her interpretation of that occurrence.
And she’s using it to disempower herself at that point in the
story, when in fact the suggestion, of course, is it’s a point of view.
It’s pretty easy to see, from the observer’s spot, the different
levels of energy and resourcefulness the two different states will
generate.
Beat up? Perhaps… Beat? No. Educated, if you choose.
Lick your wounds. Convalesce a spell. And get up and take

“I Will Love One Woman Only”
Though we dispersed a thousand years ago,
I was one of the blessed select
Pledging my honour and my life
To Arthur and the Table Round.
And so meaningful was it
That yet today I enshrine these standards
Imposed by that inspired King
And his high ideals – beacons both of a New Age.
And though I'm not free to share the contents
Of that solemn oath we sware,
Know that a part of it pertains to womankind....
And seeing you, portions of the oath return:
“And I will love one woman only, and serve her,
For years, if necessary, to win her love;
Ever the same, won or delayed,
From youth to age I dedicate my days.”
The High Cost Of The Truth
What is a rising, young, career-driven man do when he gets the
opportunity to go to work for NSA? Or, if it happens to be 1500
CE, Rome? He would sideline a lot of other things for the
opportunity of a lifetime.
When you look closer, Nicolaus Copernicus might have sold
out. He certainly stressed over it. He was a brainiac, the kind NSA
hires. The ultra-smart kid who was in your school, who you knew,
but you didn’t hang with. He got the prestigious job with the big
salary everybody would die for.
Yet he had this idea, this theory he’d been playing with that was
inconsistent with the doctrinal position of his employer, the church.
And you know how terrible that could be.
Only thing is, it wasn’t just a theory, in the sense of being an
untried, untested, solely based on opinion type of thing. A simple
analysis of the facts – do remember, that’s simple for him –
answered every possible objection.
Many years he agonized with the truth boiling inside him, and
the ignorance and deception being perpetrated around him. Several
dozens of years.
Finally, in gingerly terms, he began to talk. You might call him
the original whistle blower. He posited the revolution of the Earth
around the sun and the revolution of Earth on its own axis, and
thereby explained the rising and setting sun, moon and stars, the
seasons, the morning and the evening star, and dispensed with the
childish epicycles that gave a reverse orbit to certain planets at

certain times. All neatly explained and provable by observing
phenomena with a different, deeper eye.
Indeed, it was a revolutionary change in outlook. It revealed that
Earth was not the center of the universe, rather, something
“contained” in the Universe. This position was untenable.
It starts at the top, and when the powers that be unleash their
machinery, the gullible, believing the powers have their best
interests at heart, like they’ve been brainwashed from the cradle to
believe, rise to the call. In addition to the threats of
excommunication, damning him to eternal perdition for speaking
out, it meant public disgrace, ridicule, poverty, and the polar
opposite of all the good gifts they had showered on this chosen
child on Earth.
Perhaps the behavior from the ignorant populace is
understandable. Their opinion is certainly unexamined, and
involves no such thing as evaluation of evidence and truth. Witness
the millions who still today pay fraudulent television psychics
countless millions of dollars annually.
Certainly, any fool could see the sun goes round the Earth.
“You’ve got eyes! Use them!” you might hear the pontiff rallying.
The church was protecting their hegemony. The absolute last thing
the church wanted was honest inquiry and truth.
And, though there were some silent holdouts, even the scientific
community ridiculed and excoriated him. Of course, they received
their pay from the church, so genuine investigation and truth had to
be a secondary concern. But as a body of elite scholars, their
opinion and their ridicule surely won out over reason. In the eyes of
the ignorant, it was reason.
Yet he couldn’t hold back, cost what it may. Finally he moved
to speak to a larger audience, publishing De revolutionibus orbium
coelestium (On The Revolutions Of The Celestial Spheres). On the

eve of publication, suffering calumny and the threat of
excommunication, his heart freezes and he dies.
In the end, Copernicus gave his life for truth, the logical
discoveries of science, and doing so, impulsed a quantum leap in
the evolution of humanity.
Christianity did interdict his work, for 200 years. He was right.
Celebrate the high cost that heroes are willing to pay to
publicize the truth and the progress they bequeath to humanity.
Poverty Can Be A Profound Blessing
“Poverty can be a profound blessing,” Napoleon Hill writes in
the mature days of his activities.
Let’s go with the facts. Napoleon Hill transitioned 8 November
1970 from a heart attack while working in his home in Charleston,
South Carolina, USA 13h days after celebrating his 87
th birthday.
The 13 day thing, since he is forever identified with the 13
principles of personal achievement he laid out in Think And Grow
Rich, might be a holomagic coda to a life well lived.
The book he writes these words in is You Can Work Your Own
Miracles. The copyright date is 1971. Published posthumously. The
complete passage is:
Poverty can be a profound blessing. it can also be a life-
long curse. The determining factor as to which it shall be
consists in one’s mental attitude toward it. If it is accepted
as a challenge to greater effort it is a blessing, if it is
accepted as an unavoidable handicap, then it is an enduring
curse.
It all relates to the factor of control. Your destiny is seldom
controlled by the circumstance, so seldom so that with the slight
disclaimer of some natural disasters and acts of nations, we can
safely say it’s never in the circumstance.
It’s not the fact the mother-in-law is meddlesome; it’s not the
fact an employee stole money. it’s not the fact you lost your
36 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
number one client to a competitor. There’s a lot of thousand things
it’s not.
However, losing your number one client could be, and should
be the stimulus you need to get your ship in order and create some
new precision in your market. What a time to take stock, evaluate,
and make determinations that align with your purposes, rather than
the carelessness you might have let yourself drift into. Consider
your unique selling proposition. Inject new horsepower into your
selling with a new differentiation, new messages, and energetic
new salespeople on the street.
You’ve just got market feedback to get yourself back in place,
and that’s it.
Poverty is the same way. Poverty is a passage, a fleeting
circumstance.
Say you’re slack on cash and bills are piling up?.. You may not
be feeling peaceful in these circumstances. Maybe that’s the way
Nature intends it… You get feedback from the environment when
you’re screwing up.
But there are other perspectives. I know one guy who says the
day he was “just” broke was such a relief, because ALL he was was
broke. Before he went to bankruptcy court and got exonerated, he
was $50 million in debt! Now, to him, being broke was pretty
doggone good!
And so it is. He re-built his career.
Poverty can be a blessing, or if you let that strike you out and
you live with it, then, of course, it’s a curse. But it’s not a curse
some outside witch or capricious God has cast on you. It’s a curse
you decided to create by the way you decided to embrace the
condition. Everything is what you make it. And we start tomorrow
today.
The Quantum Leap Only Happens
When You’re Being You
The quantum leap only happens when you’re being you. If
you’re trying to do what you think you should, trying to beat and be
like others in your profession, and you’ve been wondering why you
haven’t been making that quantum career leap, your answer may be
revealed right there.
The world only rewards things that are new, unique, different,
better, bigger, bolder, time-saving, of more interest and intrigue.
The world does not reward copycats and look-alikes. They even
have an expression that goes, “The same old same old.” Does being
normal, or worse, being boring appeal to you? Does it make you
stand out to anyone? Do you really expect to stand out following
the rutted path?
But, being just one of billions of humans on this planet, you
might ask how you can really be unique.
Uniqueness should not be a big order for you, because if you
will tune into who you really are, the universal mind flowing
outward through you, as it does in a plant, coming in through the
roots, up and outward, expressing as growth in the plant, will
express creativity and uniquely in you.
I once knew a gardener who tended a large rose garden of
several hundred bushes. He had a love affair with each one, spoke
of their unique histories, beauties, and enjoyed each one
ecstatically. He could point out nuances of color, leaf, perfume, and
growth with every single plant. What could look like a field of
38 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
roses to the casual eye, clumping them all together, was a universe
of distinct beauties and contributions to the heart of any who
looked more deeply.
Indeed, each was distinctly different.
When you slow down, tune into your heart, and remove yourself
from the “more of” commodity class, that’s when you yourself will
be unique. Becoming yourself, you will be different. If you’re
looking for success, that’s joyful news.
Uniqueness is a requirement for true success, and there’s where
you find self-actualization, as well. The quantum leap only happens
when you’re being YOU.
Napoleon Hill On The Best Profession
For Big Success
I use the quote frequently in our training events…
Napoleon Hill said,
“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by
helping others succeed.”
When I first bring it out a lot of people ask, “What does that
mean?”
Let’s dissect it, looking at each phrase, and you’ll find there’s
no dissimulation, but that it’s a very direct statement.
“It is literally true”
o It is true. This is not allegory or symbolic, but
direct, practical truth
“that you can succeed”
o He establishes the subject, success. Remember,
there’s no figurative language; we’re talking
about success in the sense you understand it as
in getting ahead in life and on your career path
“best and quickest”
o Now we’ve got a modifier, refining the
previous identification of succeeding, by
revealing the best and quickest way, and that
is…
“by helping others succeed”
40 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
o Which identifies the specific profession you can
most easily achieve success in
Napoleon Hill was a man who gathered insights, not only from
the incredible, profound depths of research and interview, but he
was simultaneously living his life, creating his life. He’s talking
about getting in the right kind of profession.
Remember he is a consultant, he is an information marketer, he
is a guru. Put him in the right place; make him equivalent to how
you would see him today. He is a Tony Robbins, a T. Harv Eker, a
Ted Ciuba, a Brian Tracy.
He’s saying get into the consulting field. Not only that, make
your clients business clients. Not only that, get into the aspect of
business consulting that works on the income side of the equation.
It’s not a complicated idea, and the statement is intended to
present the best monetary career advice Hill has garnered in a
single summing statement.
You want to get rich? You want 50% of all the gross profit
that’s in a product, gross profit being defined as what’s left over
after the cost of production and shipping? You can have it all day
long. The way you get that juicy deal, even though someone else is
paying for the inventory and overhead, is to sell the stuff. That’s
sales.
What he’s saying is, “Go where the money is!” People always
have and always will gladly share huge amounts of money with
those who create money. There is no other point in the process of
raw material to counting year-end profits where you’ll find such
liberality.
Napoleon Hill clearly is speaking to you as an insider. He’s no
longer talking to the masses, and he’s no longer talking in the
Performing Alongside Others Who Had To Drag Themselves Out Of Bed 41
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
general concept of “What you think about you bring about” and
“You’ve got to go after what you want with passion.”
He’s saying if you want the most highly leveraged occupation
you can go into, one in which you can make the kind of income
people dream of, go into marketing consulting, because they’ll pay
you for bringing income in the door!
It’s a good profession.
Don’t Choose Your Dreams By What
You Know You Can Bridge To
There’s a fundamental error most people and businesses make
when they start looking at what they want out of life. When they
start looking to plan their future and start setting goals, they tend to
look at what they know they can do, and then make that their goal.
The concept of incremental thinking is logical, and it’s certainly
culturally engrained, so it seems right, right?
The only issue is that approach automatically rules out the
possibility of a quantum leap.
On the other hand, high velocity achievers, people used to
creating a quantum leap, upping their performance level by 300% -
600%, don’t see their current position or activity as any large
obstacle.
Note duly, that’s not 3% - 6%, figures which, to incrementalists,
are quite respectable.
However, quantum achievers respect and expect those high
numbers, because they know two things sheeple and
incrementalists don’t know. They know there are causes to every
event. Look around you at an overweight, underachieving, sickly
population. They go to the doctor complaining of fatigue, who
prescribes something big pharma is making money on. They get
worse, not better. It’s obvious they don’t know. High achievers
generally enjoy good health, too, because they know. So they focus
in on the high leverage pivot or quantum points for exponential
returns in their pursuits.

And they also know holomagic happens only when conditions
are right. Lethargic, apathetic people looking for a lucky break
don’t get visits by the angel…
All this while they’re likely sitting on enough untapped assets to
keep them going for a lifetime. There are systems they can install,
ads that can be rewritten, and whole new visions and missions
adopted. There are leverage points which multiply things. And
we’re not talking about creating a world with more money and
rewards, but less freedom, but more, more, and more! Delegation is
certainly one of the high leverage systems achievers’ get
comfortable with.
What you want to do is learn from and model achievers.
Intervene in your own self. Identify and break free from what
you’ve accepted as your paradigm level of what’s normal and
possible.
Because the problem with what’s normal and possible - unless
you come from a very exceptional family and culture – is that
you’ve got a lot of bad, erroneous training, not only from your
parents, who were beginners at life and child-rearing themselves
when they raised you, but from a society with its school system,
religions, workforce and regulations designed to norm the
population for easy management.
And, by the way, unless you get conscious promptly, the same
carry-forward unquestioned assumptions forming your world will
be assimilated by your children. As the saying goes, the sins of the
people endure even to their children’s children’s children…
So much for the causes. They’re only important as they help
you understand where, why, and how you went wrong. Now it’s up
to you to re-educate and empower yourself. Blame cannot exist, not
only because it’s useless, but it will hold you back. The reality is
that you, at some point, decided to do what society told you to do,
Performing Alongside Others Who Had To Drag Themselves Out Of Bed 45
Free Quantum Transmutation gifts at ThinkRich.com
and you, albeit unconsciously, chose to see the world foursquare,
believing it is the real world. The spell is cast early.
As the saying goes, “Salvation is an individual affair.” When
you get enough of an intimation to know there’s a whole lot more
available, and that it could be your own limiting outlooks and
beliefs getting you what you do not want, then it’s up to you to
change things.
When you wake to your true self you set what you want as your
goal. Your present condition serves as a splendid starting point.
If you go for the quantum leap, your present is your starting
point. And if you go just for the incremental, what you think you
can achieve playing it safe returns (by the way, most metros will
bury the indigent for free – and you won’t have to think about
anything along the way, either), the present is also your starting
point.
So what concerns us more is where we’ll end up following the
two different routes, the incremental or the quantum. That exercise
should solve every consideration… Do you really want to continue
struggling along, barely breaking even in the midst of inflation,
currency devaluations, and rising taxes?
It’s not necessary. Don’t choose your wants, dreams, and,
destinations by what you know you can bridge to! Be bold! Be
audacious. Trust in the magical power of pursuit.
Trust in yourself. Trust in your ability to find the resources and
contacts you need, trust in the energy and insight to put it all
together. Choose what you really want, the quantum leap.
Don’t choose your dreams by what you know you can bridge to.
Go for the quantum leap!
Make Opportunity Happen
For many the best that we can hope for and try to guide them to
accomplish is just getting by. Whether they know it or not, that’s
what they want.
For certain other people, like you and me, we realize we have a
unique, one-time, non-repeatable opportunity to contribute, to add
value to this life, to this world, and to the lives of other people. We
have an opportunity. We can create a reason to wake up, a reason
to feel joy.
AND in our case, talk about an attitude inversion! Things are
different for people like you. Turns out, good is within our power.
It goes further than that. To not do the good you may so easily
do, to not bring the value that is you and share it with others is evil.
It’s a bad choice. It’s even in the word! “Evil” is “live” spelled
backwards.
Joy in what you have to share, value it, and make the
opportunity happen. You will be rewarded. Every seed bears its
unique fruit.
A Connect-The-Dots Story With You As
Lead Character
Do you ever wonder where those kids who get sorted into shop
end up after high school? In the high school I went to, that’s where
they sorted the ones who didn’t have much of a future ahead of
them.
And then last night I’m out on the town in Nashville, and I
come across a display on Taylor guitars,. Since 1833 Martin guitars
has played the place of the best guitar available. It’s been Martin,
with everything below it. Seems this Taylor is an upstart, born just
in 1977. Today, just a few decades later, they’re competing with
Martin in the league that couldn’t be challenged.
There’s a back story, of course. And I want to lean this one
towards you. Consider, one of the things I guide people on is
finding their strengths. When people come to me asking what they
should or could do, I say, “You’ve already told yourself, you just
have to pull it out of yourself.”
Then we do a little investigative consideration… We start with a
few very simple questions, looking around for what’s happening in
their life… “Where is your greatest strength?” “What things do you
excel at?” “Where is your passion?” Other questions develop.
We’re looking for their unique opportunity where they’ve already
laid traces of something that can be developed into exchange value.
The video that was looping on the big screen of Bob Taylor
being interviewed, guitar in hand, told the story superbly well. He
was one of those guys who got shuttled off to shop class.

Then comes the time he realizes he’d like to play guitar. So he
goes looking around. Mind you, he’s good in shop. Finally he
realizes, “I can make a better guitar than I can buy!” And he does.
His first guitar was so well done he’s still got it thirty-five years
later. One thing I noticed immediately was the fancy fretboard. I’m
sure you’ve seen those little dots or stars in between frets, common
on guitars. His fretboard had ebony inlay. And this was his first
guitar.
He then made himself another one. Then he started getting
requests from friends. That’s how Taylor started. And today Taylor
Guitars is in the untouchable class with Martin. Taylor just
developed on his natural abilities and interests.
Today he’s selling 500 guitars a day. And that doesn’t say
anything about the incidentals that go with it, like strings, lessons,
other instruments, and the things that make a full business, like the
financing and insurance plans. And he did it following his
strengths. Just the way we always say you should do.
Back to you… When you’re going to go into a field, investigate
the field. Find out where the weaknesses are, and fix them. That’s
what Taylor did. Though the props, activities and characters will
certainly be slightly different for you, the storyline won’t vary
much.
He found a lot of guitar construction substandard. Normal stuff,
even the best, he knew to be “like a patch along job.” And he
thought, “With today’s precision machinery, it doesn’t have to be
that way.”
And then he wasn’t satisfied with the pick-ups, the electrical
component that amplifies the sound. He looked at the market that
was still using – and trying to optimize– the design that came into
vogue in the 1930’s.

Then, instead of trying to improve what would be impossible to
improve substantially anymore – and still wouldn’t be satisfactory
for him - he set himself up for the quantum leap by asking how he
could formulate an entirely new basis for an electronic pick-up.
Results speak for themselves.
Everybody wants a Taylor guitar.

What Blossoms Into World-Class
Excellence In Your Own Backyard
Excellence ultimately is extraordinary, but it’s accomplished
merely by doing ordinary things the way everyone could and
should, but don’t do. Extraordinary people do not do extraordinary
things to become that way.
Let’s talk about three swimmers at the 1984 Summer Olympics
in Los Angeles: Greg Louganis, Mary T. Meagher, and Steve
Lundquist. What we find when we examine these three case studies
is that superlative performance is a coming together and an
orchestration of small decisions and their applications in activities.
Each of these activities, learned or stumbled upon, result from
decisions carefully drilled and disciplined into an enjoyable habit,
integrated together in a synthesized, empowering, moving, fluid
whole. This is what excellence is… Ordinary stuff.
It turns out the stars aren’t made of anything different than the
earth.
To wit, it’s not what you do because there’s only so many
things you can do. Whatever your profession or interest is, there is
nothing extraordinary in the things one can do, nothing that others
couldn’t do. It’s in the way you do things. It starts in your mindset,
in how you approach things. It’s doing them correctly, consistently,
and orchestrating them together. That’s when excellence happens.
Truly, excellence is made of things anyone could choose to do.

Case study #1: diver, Greg Louganis, two gold medals.
Louganis proves, by the way, time is not the determining factor, in
that he practiced fewer than three hours a day, divided up into two
or three sessions. Now, that’s not much when competing at the
Olympic level. Mind you, that would be excellent for a recreational
swimmer, or someone at the Country Club, or even the someone
serious in high school, but that’s not your ordinary Olympics
training regimen.
But this man is never sloppy in practice, and, consequently, he’s
never sloppy in meets. That’s it! That’s his secret – disciplined
practice to high standards. That same approach to the ordinary
things of one’s area of pursuit is what makes a few concert pianists
out of the countless thousands of people who begin every year.
Things that anyone in the game should do.
Want a quantum leap in your special gift? Decide to always be
technically correct and disciplined, and let the spirit flow from
there.
Case study #2: swimmer, Mary T. Meagher, three gold medals.
It really kicked off for her, she has said in interviews looking back,
when she was 13 years old. She’d qualified for the national
championships, and upon receiving that news she decided to go for
the world record. Thirteen years old, but not so dumb, she knew
she was going to have to do something different.
She decided on and followed out two things. That’s all. And this
is what she herself attributes her success to. First, she decided to be
on time to practice, every practice, every time. Reflecting back, she
said that made her put a new value on the importance of practice
time. It became really meaningful.
And she decided one other thing, and that was to do every stroke
right every time.

You see, most people, most athletes, even in training, don’t do
every stroke right. They don’t even pretend at it. In her sport, for
instance, it’s very common that swimmers go lazy and not always
touch the wall with both hands when they do a turnaround.
Interesting thing, however, is they’ll be judged on it in competition.
Why they don’t do it right every time in practice is a mystery.
Meagher did. She became exceptional doing what she should.
She decided to do it right every time and she said that it
accustomed her to doing things at least one step better than
everybody else, all the time. She made being better habitual. She
wasn’t stuck striving to come from behind during competition.
Consider the significance of three words here: decision, discipline
and technique.
The point is she made two changes: 1) to always be on time and
2) to do every stroke properly every time. Anybody could’ve made
those changes. The point is excellence in your field takes no extra
qualifying talents or abilities. These were merely decisions any
competitive person should make, followed through with disciplined
attention.
The Olympic gold wasn’t on her mind at the time. She won that
world record she went after in the 200-meter butterfly race. But
with increased abilities and performance, come increased
opportunities.
Case study #3: swimmer, Steve Lundquist, two gold medals. By
now this is going to sound familiar. He attributes his success to a
decision he made early in his career to win every swim, every day
in practice.
This was so early on he was only thinking about practice.
That’s all there was at that time. It’s not like he was thinking of
winning the Olympics at that time. It never entered his head. He
decided to win every swim every day right where he was.
56 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series

Later that evolved into win every race, every stroke, every time,
everywhere! Of course it evolved to that.
Being like or liked by others, who viewed him as unfittingly
competitive, didn’t matter to him. He wanted to win. That’s what
he went out there to do. The others had ulterior goals mixed in the
bag, like fitting in with the club crowd.
His short term goal of winning this race, this swim, this
workout, translated into bigger and bigger races, and bigger and
bigger opportunities. And guess what? Competition, when the day
arrived for a meet, was no shocker. It was nothing out of the
ordinary for him. He was a champ, used to going all out. They
weren’t. He made history. They didn’t.
They were faced with the monumental and urgent need to
desperately do something different. Not only different, but better.
They were hoping and praying something good would happen. He
went out and did what he did every day in practice.
It was not his superior ability that made him superior. It’s an
illustration of the folk saying, “It’s not the size of the dog in the
fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”
Steve Lundquist wins every race, every day, every where.
Talking about excellence and extraordinary performance, de
facto, makes it seem like it’s something almost unachievable,
bequeathed upon the blessed select. But it’s nothing of the sort.
Excellence happens as a consequence of a person making key
performance-oriented decisions they follow through on with
engaged discipline.
And though it’s true excellence results from ordinary things, it’s
not doing more of the ordinary things the ordinary way. The
ordinary way is to add repetitions or more time. But more imperfect
practice does not make perfect, it merely makes imperfect
technique more firmly entrained.
Performing Alongside Others Who Had To Drag Themselves Out Of Bed 57

Excellence has its genesis in the micro volts of brain electricity
flashed when a person decides to apply themselves in integrity to
the ordinary skills and demands of the game. Things like being on
time, valuing your engagement, exercising discipline ensuring your
technique is technically correct every time. Habitually.
No analysis has ever uncovered anything extraordinary,
superhuman, or godlike in any one of the individual decisions or
actions that make champions.
Excellence results only in that one decides to do things they
should do with heart, spirit, and discipline.
Though they would much like it, they’ve never found any way
to identify the six-seven year old future Olympian. If they could,
they could start attention and training earlier, and make the athlete
even more superior in performance. They can’t find it, because it
doesn’t exist. Excellence is not the result of some innate talent or
lucky gift granted by Jupiter on some few, fortunate individuals,
but rather is forged by the individual themselves.
Excellence, in the end, is extraordinary, yet it is generated
merely by extra attention to the ordinary things of the sport. The
studies affirm it can be developed by anyone with basic core
competencies who wills it so.
And they don’t have to – and don’t in fact – start with way out
goals like winning Olympic gold. It starts very close to home. You
nurture and develop what blossoms into world class excellence in
your own backyard.
The Problem With Setting Your Sights
Too High
Have you ever noticed how particularly insightful observations
show up again and again from different people in different
circumstances conversing in subjects of different domains? The
Michelangelo everybody knows, who certainly was a quantum
performer, didn’t just get lucky. He made it the focus and intention
of his life.
Yet everywhere one turns people are cautioning others not to
think they can be special. What is this achiever’s opinion?
Michelangelo says,
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our
aim too high and falling short, but setting our aim too low,
and achieving our mark. “
If you don’t go after much, that’s rather easy to achieve. But
what value do you get? Where’s the fulfillment? What value do
you create? And will you ever be happy knowing you sold out to
conform to the herd?
Which weighs into what Frank Maguire, co-founder of FedEx,
said when accosted for his motivational speeches. The bureaucratic
mind said he should not be allowed to speak to young people,
because he was doing them a disservice by encouraging them to
dream big, because they would only end up disappointed.
A disservice?!!
60 The Sub 4 Minute Extra Mile Series

Their numbers prove it. It seems, however, their job and the
mentality that becomes them busily norming the populace into
easily manageable shades of yellow and brown makes them blind
to the fact that Maguire himself was living testimony that great
innovations and their consequent rewards can come to those who
dream outside the gray and blue.
And they continue to assert and structure things behind the
scenes so that young people are discouraged from dreaming big.
True, with no big dream, Maguire himself would have
succumbed to the futility of working to manifest that big dream. He
would not have accomplished what he did. He would have shut
himself, his vision, and his bold and courageous actions in the face
of monolithic challenges and uncertainties down. And the world
would be worse off for it.
Maguire responded with,
“The problem with setting your sights too high is far
outweighed by the chance of underachievement that comes
from setting your sights too low.”
Sure, every person attempting great things encounters
challenges. But so do those who crunge away in mediocrity. The
difference is, those with the hero’s heart have the vision, drive,
energy, and compulsion to meet with, grapple, and take on those
challenges. Win or lose, they are a hero.
Nobody bests every challenge, wiener or winner. Certainly,
setting your sights too low is a travesty of potential, because it
guarantees you’ll never be who you might be.
And not coincidentally, human culture affirms both
Michelangelo and Frank Maguire made the wiser choice. It’s your
turn now.
That’s What It’s Costing You If You
Don’t Act
How much does taking action cost you? I can tell you this: it
costs a whole lot less than you’re paying now by not having this
knowledge, these attitudes, skills, and abilities.
This is something a lot of people don’t understand about life:
there’s a price any way you go.
Sure, if you’re going to get involved there’s an investment;
every business has an investment. People go to school for four
years and spend a hundred grand, or rack up a hundred grand in
student loans - which will take them 20 years to pay back - to get a
neater job.
This is an opportunity to own your own business and become a
person who makes more in a single week than normal people make
in an entire year. Is it possible? Yes.
That’s what it’s costing you if you don’t act on this opportunity.
