"Changing certain aspects of
your life is not easy.
Looking at your life and the
choices you've made in an
open and honest way can be
an emotional and
gut-wrenching experience.
As you rewind your mental
tapes, you are likely to see
a pattern of decision-making
that is self-defeating or
sabotaging. It doesn't have
to be that way. When you
read the words in this book,
know that I am not speaking
from an exalted position.
This is what I've
experienced and know to be
true."

Introduction
We live in a very fast-paced
society. It seems as if
almost everything is
designed to happen as
quickly as possible. We
don’t need cash these days;
we just “swipe and go.” We
don’t have to stop and pay
our toll. We simply flash a
card and keep rolling. We
have drive-thru windows for
doughnuts and coffee. We
have a generation of
children who put food in the
microwave oven, watch it
turn, and yell, “hurry!” If
you are one of those folks
who have to have it “now,”
then this book was written
for you.
I wrote this book at one of
the lowest points in my
life. My businesses were
heavily in debt and,
although I continued to
function every day, there
were times when I did not
feel good about myself.
Through it all, I continued
to try to affect the lives
of others through my
training seminars and
speeches. I also went out of
my way to make sure I was an
active dad for my sons.
On a Friday night, in
September 2006, I decided to
write down the things that
really
mattered to me. I
stopped the list at
twenty-five and shelved the
project for another year.
Putting pen to paper was a
measure of accountability.
Thirteen months later I was
ready to be accountable and
make a change in my life.
Writing my thoughts on paper
was therapeutic and gave me
a sense of relief. This
process was a “freeing”
experience that helped me to
feel good again.
25 Things That Really
Matter In Life
is a little book with a big
message. The techniques and
steps that I describe in the
following pages are ones
that I’ve been using for
over thirty years. If you
commit to them, I guarantee
you will live a more
meaningful and healthier
life.
Changing certain aspects of
your life is not easy.
Looking at your life and the
choices you’ve made in an
open and honest way can be
an emotional and
gut-wrenching experience. As
you rewind your mental
tapes, you are likely to see
a pattern of decision-making
that is self-defeating or
sabotaging. It doesn’t have
to be that way.
This is your chance to
enhance your quality of life
and to feel good about
yourself. You can improve
your situation today. Don’t
blow this opportunity.
Victory is near.
When you read the words in
this book, know that I am
not speaking from an exalted
position. This is what I’ve
experienced and know to be
true. My job is to tell you
everything I know to help
you make your life
successful. Your job is to
take what I tell you and
develop a flexible and
customized plan that will
work for you. If you make a
commitment to do this, you
can live every day as if
it’s your last, and enjoy
your life. If you want to
change your life, change the
way you act and the way you
think.
You can
control the quality of your
life by making 25
Things That Really
Matter In Life a
part of your daily living.
Once you have “mastered”
them, I will show you how to
start living your best
life--today!
