PRAISE FOR YOU HAVE INFINITE POWER
You Have Infinite Power is more than just a powerful book: Its a must read for anyone from corporate executives to sales professionals and entrepreneurs who want to improve both their personal and professional lives. The authors not only share stories about their successes, they speak compellingly about their failures, offering invaluable insights on what they learned and how they adapted and recovered from these experiences. This is an inspiring, motivating, and timely work.

The consultants at Empowered Mastery helped my team of district managers look at their business in a new and opportunistic way. Corporations often teach leadership and management skills, but rarely help leaders frame their thinking for a more successful outcome. This book will help everyone who reads it become more successful both personally and professionally.
Beth Nottingham, former vice president of Borders Books
You Have Infinite Power is helpful and easy to read, yet profound. Its loaded with practical advice, inspiration, and encouragement. The T.R.A.N.S.F.O.R.M.A.T.I.O.N. Doctrine provides a wealth of insights on improving your life.
Jack Canfield, coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series
Paul, Rick, Chris, and Nicks personal accounts of their obstacles and hardships are fabulous examples of how they overcame adversity and triumphed in life. Thats what makes this book so great; these guys are real-life examples of, If I can do it, anybody can do it.
Marty Lyons, former professional football player and current announcer
Empowered mastery understands success. These four men, each of whom has forged his own successful path, offer something for everyone. Their diverse backgrounds blend together beautifully, giving the reader a realistic view of what it takes to transform your life.
James Ienner, award-winning movie and music producer
Having gone to three Empowered Mastery events in the past year, I couldnt wait to read their book. They each had a dramatic effect on my personal and professional life. It provided me an opportunity to shed my emotional baggage and achieve tremendous psychological and physical breakthroughs.
I would recommend that anyone who is looking to make an impact in his or her life, and wants to increase productivity in their professional and personal life, read You Have Infinite Power and consider the EMC programs.

Nick
To my childhood best friend: John T. Furst III. His love for life was unparalleled, and his spirit will live on forever.
To my oldest brother, David Berlow, who was only with us for a little while but accomplished so much. He is still an inspiration with all his accomplishments.
To my mother, Ann Delano who passed away in 2010. I will love you forever and you will always be an inspiration for me and many generations to come. Your legacy of love and selflessness will live on forever.
Chris
This book is dedicated in loving memory of my childhood best friend Michael Lubbers, who inspired me to think big, to take action, and to live life to the fullest. You will forever be in our hearts.
Paul
I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, Elaine and Edward Wollman, who passed on years ago. As I get older, and as the years go by raising a family of my own, I come to understand and appreciate just how good my parents were. As often is the case, we dont realize the values our parents instill in us until we become parents ourselves.
My parents were fair, honest, humble, loving, and always supportive; these are qualities that every parent should have. I was extremely fortunate to be the recipient of their good nature. If I can be half the parent to my kids that they were to me, then I would consider myself extremely fortunate. They are my true heroes.
Rick
CONTENTS
FOREWORD
You Have Infinite Power is the pinnacle of personal growth and development books. Within these pages, Nick, Chris, Paul, and Rick introduce their patented and groundbreaking T.R.A.N.S.F.O.R.M.A.T.I.O.N. Doctrine, which will transform your life. You Have Infinite Power is a fourteen-step process that allows you to operate at peak performance in all areas of your life, whether personal or professional. These four authors and entrepreneurs come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and have expertise in a variety of industries, which offers the reader a unique vantage point. Each of them has experienced success in his chosen endeavors by pursuing his dreams relentlessly and overcoming all obstacles in his path. They have, both individually and as a team, strived not only to succeed, but also to continually grow and evolve into an enlightened state that inspires their clients and those around them to reach their true potential.
Bookstore shelves are filled with books whose authors promise the new miracle cure for your life, but seldom do these authors walk their walk and talk their talk. While reading You Have Infinite Power, you will notice almost from the start that this book is different than any other book out there. Through personal stories of triumph and tragedy, the readers will come to feel as though they have known these men all their lives. Their openness and willingness to share their life experiences are a true testament to the genuine concern they have for their readers and clients. You Have Infinite Power encourages and inspires you to achieve what you never thought possible.
