Do Success Products Work?

Do Success Products Work?

Challenge

What success products work and which ones are a waste of money?  

This past year, I took an in-depth look at success products - everything from Tony Robbins to Jim Rohn to Marianne Williamson.  

And I've been using myself as a Guinea pig to report back to you the straight scoop.

But let’s start at the beginning.  Its late at night when your mind is most susceptible to influence, and that  infomercial comes on starring a big-teethed monster of a guy, Anthony Robbins; he seems very sincere as he talks directly to you about:

•  Getting the body you deserve;
• Expanding your love life;
• Becoming financially abundant;
• Finding the love of your life;
•  Designing a life you love; and
•  Much, much more!  If you buy within the next 30 seconds!

And if you’re anything like me I feel a twinge of guilt and I continue watching the television with a Fat Tire beer in one hand and a bowl of chips in the other.

But its mesmerizing and I can’t look away - a new life where I become the best version of myself.

“I’ve been here before,” I think, popping another chip into my mouth before quickly washing it down with a swig of Fat Tire.  “I know he’s right.  I've got to do something.”

You see, I've been here before.  I borrowed the Personal Power II tapes from a friend and listened to them until I knew every word.  And I checked out everything there was at the library on success and personal fulfillment.

And it worked.  I took control of my finances, romantic life and even my body.  But that was then and this is now.  This is my story of the road back, told to you in almost real time.

My Story

As I write these words, I saw 2012 come and go with almost more pain than I could bear. 

My internet start-up, that held so much promise, failed.  Not only did I have to face terminating the jobs of eight people I cared for, but for the first time in my life, I was out of work and out of money.  

That I had let investors down and that people close to me, including my own family, had lost money haunted me to my core.

To make matters worse, I had invested in mountain property with my best friend and when the economy tanked, my wife and I lost our life savings.  To pour salt into the wound, my friend bailed on me, leaving me with a $4,000 a month debt.

 

I remember thinking, “So let me get this straight. . . .not are my life savings gone, but I still have bills to pay?”

And really folks I could not make this up, as I was contemplating filing for unemployment, our home caught fire and burned almost completely to the ground.

As you might imagine the stress took its toll and rather than handle it as Tony might, I began to eat too much and drink more scotch than anyone should.  I ended up with severe insomnia, my stomach hurt all the time and I gained 30 pounds.

And now my doctor informed me that I was not a diabetic YET, but if didn't lose the weight and get things under control, that I would quickly be a resident of Insulinville USA.

Choice

 I had to make substantial changes.  I could not leave my family and friends in this financial situation and I had to drastically improve my health.  

I decided to go back to the beginning; to review the success products and to actually implement the strategies. 

This is my diary of the actions I am taking and the implementation of the best success products out there.

People shell out thousands and thousands of dollars on seminars, systems, products and books.  What if I can separate the wheat from the chaff?  What if I can put together notes the expensive inside secrets, the technologies that work as well as the hype on products that don't  work?  What if I can spend my own money and time and report back to you the inside secrets at the expensive seminars
