Introduction

Have you ever tried to reach a goal, but failed? You probably started with the best intentions in mind. You were really going to do it this time! Those extra pounds were going to come off, and you would keep them off for good. Maybe it was a financial goal: This was your time to take it to the next levelto finally make those dreams come true, to inspire your team to success, or at least develop a nest egg that would make you comfortable in your golden years. Or perhaps you were just trying to keep or mend a relationship, to see if happily ever after really can come true.

The enthusiasm that was there in the beginning just seemed to wane over time. It wasnt that your goals werent important anymore, but other things just seemed to get in the way.

At this point, many people give up! Why even try, when it rarely seems to work?

I understand.

Completely.

Ive been there.

Ive had a failed marriage. Ive had a failed business. Ive had too many pounds on me. Ive had far too little savings, and way too much credit card debt. Ive failed in many ways.

I grew up in a small Texas/Mexico border town, literally the poorest city in the United States. I love my hometown, but it could be a little rough growing up there, sometimes. One night when I was in middle school, I found myself staring down the barrel of an assault rifle in my own back alley. When I was in high school, my father was killed in a plane crash. Before he did, one of our neighbors came up to him and said, I just want to make sure you understand: Not a single one of your boys will ever grow up to be anything.

Think of that for a minute: Not a single one of your boys will ever grow up to be anything. He was talking about me and my two brothers. Here we are, doing the best we can with what weve got, and this is what he has to say about us.

For years I tried to figure out why I, and others like me, started toward goals, but most often didnt achieve them. Why was it that what began as a great idea ended as a disappointment?

I devoted myself to answering this question, spending the next three decades studying and applying tried-and-true success principles while developing new techniques that went beyond what Id learned before.

I learned what truly worked, and what actually didnt. I found what the missing pieces of the puzzle were, and when I combined it all, the result changed my life. I now had a new weapon to use in my battle with my current struggles. What I named The Oxcart Technique gave me power that I never possessed before. I had a way, a roadmap. I had hope. I had a chance.

Because of this technique, I had more control than I ever did in the pastmore control than I ever thought possible. That one powerful technique made my future brighter than it ever was before.

Its given me a high degree of success in my professional and business dealings, my finances, my relationships, my health, and so much more. Quite frankly, its changed my life completely!

Now Id like to share that knowledge with you.

Do you have important goals youre passionate about accomplishing? What is it that you would like to achieve, either in the short term or the long term?

It could be as colossal as world peace, or as small as dropping a pants size.

It could be leading your team to success, or your entire company.

How would it feel if you had an incredibly happy marriage for the rest of your days?

Would you be comfortable knowing you had enough of a nest egg to allow you to live out your golden years however you wanted to?

What if you could start by greatly increasing your income right now?

Perhaps losing 20 pounds would be of more interest to you at this point. Or 100 pounds.

What if you could reach goals at your job or profession that you would have never dreamed of before?

What if you could truly make an impact on the world around youactually make a difference?

Lets take this a step further: What if all of these things, and so much more, could be virtually guaranteed; if you learned that if you followed specific steps, it was nearly impossible to fail?
