Help Yourself to Success

When I need a little boost, I usually devour the nearest self-help book, and the "boost" lingers for only a moment or so after I close the cover. Then I revert to my regular throw-in-the-towel self. Recently I came across a self-help book with impressive staying power, John Kehoe's Money, Success & You: Harness Your Mind to Achieve Prosperity (Zoetic Inc.). The 1998 publication date might put you off, especially if you know the book was written eight years prior to that, but this work is not out-moded. The text contains bits of wisdom from past decades that need to be revisited/recycled at intervals anyway, and Kehoe has a website to keep you up to date (learnmindpower.com). He quotes expected sources like Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie, and such diverse minds as Andy Warhol, Robert Frost and Henry Miller. He stresses pro-activity in a series of chapters with motivating titles like "Waking up in the age of information," "Learn to love the word no" and "Taking a good punch." My personal favourite is a chapter called "Don't panic," in which Kehoe has designed an arithmetical chart to help you determine just where you stand on the cosmic hourglass. I've never seen anything quite like this simple formula, which provides an instant fix when you want to alter your perspective. A lot of people don't like to admit they rely on self-help or prosperity-oriented writing. My feeling is, squeeze all the good you can out of it. Try Money, Success & You for its sheer practical value. Discover what to do when someone double-crosses you, in a chapter called "What do do when someone double-crosses you." And, along with the author, I encourage you to unabashedly set lofty, seemingly unattainable goals. Your success depends on them.

I am truly impressed with your material after I purchased … 4 of your books….I consider this financial investment to be worth a million times more than quantum of money. These studies are very inspirational and I am taking it a day at a time.

I have read your book Money Success & You over and over again and contribute this book to a huge part of our business success.

This book has literally been worth millions to me, there is one part whenever I re-read your book I just want to write to you and share with you, it’s a concept John Burley (a property investor in the US) put across to us at a seminar.   In your book you write about 3 winning strategies for getting things done.

• Whatever can been done immediately do it.
• What else can be done today do it.
• One by one you can accomplish what’s on your list.

John Burley’s whole concept is: make the list then go through the list and find out what will give you the best financial reward then do it.

As your book is called Money, Success and You. If say you have 100 things to do on your list, and you do say 90 of them the net result maybe that you make say $1,000.00. Versus one thing on the list that might take the same time as doing 90 and you make say $100,000.00. If it’s about making money, this concept John shared with us is awesome. I have taken it to heart and made millions out of it
