Change your life with just four simple words. At best, it sounds silly. At worst, it sounds like a scam or a trick. Maybe a stunt. The 4 Word Answer must be another gimmick. A scheme that would make its author rich and get them on Oprah !
Like you, thats exactly what I assumed at first. But I was wrong, and I should know because I created it. Writing this book didnt make me rich. Reading it did! And although Ive met Oprah several times, been backstage at her show more than once, and emailed with her best friend, Gayle King, I still havent been on her show yet!
So, how could a simple solution to all our complicated problems be just four words away? After all, wouldnt we all know about these four little words if they did all this? Well, if you give me an hour or two, I will tell you the amazing true story of someone whose big dreams evaporated over time. Someone who lost their way. Someone who needed help. Someone who wanted to find answers to all their problems. Sound familiar? Good, because that someo ne is you!
Without even knowing its happening, your life is being stripped of hope, joy, and happiness right now. To the point where, one morning, you wake up and no longer recognize the person in the mirror. The promise and potential of youth have been replaced by fear and doubt of growing older, just like Elizabeth, who once had big d reams too.
Hey Rob, I want to be that young, pretty girl with thick golden hair, cavorting around town, swinging my precious Kate Spade bag again. I dont know when it happened, but that girl with her big dreams and that great purse got replaced by a middle -a ged woman with a fanny pack. Until I found The 4 Word Answer! Now she and her great accessories are back!
Welcome home, Elizabeth. Many of us get lost living a life we never chose, never wanted, and never thought would be ours. We are desperate for help with time running out. This is why, over the next six chapters, I will prove to you that The 4 Word Answer worksand works fast. It worked for me and countless other people, and it will work for you, too, because what you are about to discover is a story that will change your life forever, a story whose hero isnt Elizabeth or me. It is you!
The 4 Word Answer is no fairytale. It is very real. The events and details in this book all happened. The social media posts, emails, and conversations are all raw and honest. No name or incident has been changed. And I cannot wait to share this true, carefully fact -c hecked , and thoroughly reported book. The 4 Word Answer has already transformed my life and the lives of so many others around the world. Now it will do the sam e for you.
The 4 Word Answer is simple to learn, and once mastered, it will never let you down. When applied, it will change every aspect of your lifelove, work, friendships, marriage, dating, weight, money, sex, and, ultimately, you! In fact, once you see what The 4 Word Answer does, you wont know how you lived without it; however, it will only work if you believe in the power of wordsor, to be precise, the power of four words! This is exactly what happene d to Paul:
Rob! I was always calling myself and everyone else such horrible things. My marriage and friendships were dead, and I was about to lose my job because of the way I spoke to people. Until I replaced the four -l etter word with The 4 Word Answer. I now understand that words are powerful, which is why tonight, Im telling my wife that I love her. Hows that for a four -l e tter word?
Paul is not alone. But its not just words that are powerful. Equally important is how we think and behave and the choices we make. How many times have you wished: If only I were just a little prettier, a little thinner, a little younger, a little smarter, or a little kinder? We have all wondered what life would be like if we had more money or just a little good old -f ashioned luck. Who hasnt thought about what would have happened if they had met and fallen in love with someone else? Who hasnt imagined how life would have looked if we had grabbed that one dream that got away? The road of life has many different paths, which is why we all need a little help. Think about how different your journeys would be if you had some assistance guiding you along the way. That is exactly what The 4 Word Answer is. It is a map, a compass, to show you the way, to point you toward the road of success and happiness that is righ t for you.
Do you ever feel stuck in the pages of the story of your life, playing a person you dont want to be? You are not alone. Too many of us are playing a supporting character in our lives. Some of us arent even playing people we like! No one grew up wanting to be a James Bond villain or an ugly sister in Cinderella! Yet that is exactly who we have become. Ann grew up dreaming of becoming a nurse, of spending her days helping people with expertise and kindness. But instead, she ended up spending every minute of her day with someone she wouldnt want to be friends wit hher self.
Hi Rob My story got bogged down repeating the same cruel chapter over and over until I found The 4 Word Answer. You taught me that I was the writer of my own story. So that mean character I was playing got written out of the show and was replaced by Ann, the kind nurse I always knew I would be! Thank you.
Think about all the time you have wasted, like Ann, playing the wrong part in life, taking the path that wasnt meant for you. It is so easy to get stuck and trapped and, eventually, give in to who you have become. It doesnt take long before the existence that we didnt choose becomes the reality that we never reje cted.
Dreams dont vanish overnight, but they do say goodbye surprisingly fast! Some dreams put up a better fight than others before they are replaced with the same mundane daily routines. No wonder so many people fantasize about starting fresh every New Years Eve when the clock strikes midnight. Imagine having that opportunity to start over every month, every week, every day, every hour, every second, every momentin fact, whenever you want. Well, imagine no more because that is exactly what The 4 Word Answer teaches you to do. As Tim testi fies:
I wasted so much time waiting for the perfect moment to change, which never came along. Now I dont waste another minute thanks to The 4 Word Answer. Right now is the right moment to reset your life. I do it every day, several times a day! And that is why I just quit my job after getting into drama school. I have always dreamed of being an actor, and now its co ming true.
