Introduction
HOW TO LIVE YOUR ABUNDANT LIFE STARTING TODAY
We all want better lives, but too few of us are willing to make the changes necessary to have them.
Take my old friend Joe S., for example. Every time I see himwhich is not very often these dayshe complains about his (a) wife, (b) job, (c) kids, (d) body, and (e) friends. Usually he manages to complain about all those topics before he finishes a single beer. In the past I used to encourage him to change.
Go to a marriage counselor, I suggested.
They dont do anything, he assured me.
Then get a divorce.
Its cheaper to keep her.
All our early conversations went that way. Then I stopped making suggestions. Nowadays, when we meet, I have one beer and then get going.
Joe is an extreme example. He says he wants to change, but he doesnt really. He prefers to keep doing what hes always done. To lead a miserable life and waste his spare time complaining about it.
Joe is stuck. So is John K., a UK-based electrical engineer who had been reading my daily e-letter Early to Rise (ETR) for about three months when he wrote me. John said that although he regularly found excellent ideas in ETR, he couldnt get started. His problem: He lacked motivation.
As an educated man, John could recognize the opportunities present in... real estate, import/export, online, etc., but couldnt get started on any of them unless he was absolutely, 100 percent sure that he would be successful.
He recognized that he was disabled by a fear of failing. But knowing you have an emotional problem doesnt mean you can solve it. How can I get by this obstacle? he wanted to know.
This is a book for people like John. People who want to improve their lives, butfor whatever reasonfind they have been unable to do so.
HOW GOOD IS YOUR LIFE? TAKE THIS TEST AND FIND OUT
One of my favorite maxims is this: The quality of your working life can be determined by answering three very simple questions:
1. What will you do?
2. With whom?
3. Where?
I like the simplicity of that. And it makes sense. The amount of joy you have every day depends so much on making three wise selections:
1. The career you choose.
2. The business associates you choose.
3. The place you choose.
Chances are youve already made those three choices. You may have made them without much thought or made them passively by not choosing. But you are living with your choices.
Before we do another thingand there are all sorts of wonderful things Id like to do together in this booklets review the decisions youve made.
Take the following three-part test. Then see what I have to say about your score.

What You Do... Your Career

Rate your business or career by assigning a number between 1 and 10 for each of the following questions. A 10 means it describes your business perfectly. A 1 means it doesnt apply at all to your business.
If you are an entrepreneur or professional, use this set of questions:
__ It is difficult to knock off because it has a unique selling proposition.
__ It is scalable: It can grow much bigger without my doing much more work.
__ It has a low overhead with low rents and no requirement for large capital investments.
__ It can be marketed well through the Internet and can take advantage of full direct marketing.
__ It has little or no inventory.
__ It is subject to few government regulations.
__ It is cash-flow positive. It can fund its growth through its own cash flow.
__ It has minimal labor requirements: It takes no more than four employees to generate $1 million in revenues.
__ It has an unlimited capacity to create wealth for me.
__ It challenges me fullycreatively, intellectually, emotionally.
If you are an employee, use this set of questions:
__ It takes advantage of my skills.
__ It challenges my logical brain fully.
__ It challenges my creative brain fully.
__ It meshes well with my lifestyle.
__ It surrounds me with interesting, intelligent people.
__ It gives me the opportunity to excel and advance.
__ It encourages independent thinking.
__ It offers mentoring.
