Self Help. Addictions; Advice; Coaching; Goal Setting; Hypnosis; Motivational; Stress Management; ..
Self help, personal development and self-improvement are topics of considerable interest to pretty much everyone on the planet.
In 1975 my life was a total mess. I was depressed, unemployed and my 5 year marriage was ending.
A
friend gave me “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale
Carnegie and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. This started me on a
personal development journey that took over 25 years before I finally
understood why permanent success was eluding me.
Over those years I
spent thousands of dollars (money I didn’t have) for self-improvement
books, audio programs and training courses.
I began setting goals,
repeating affirmations and anxiously waited for success to arrive at my
doorstep. Life was a roller coaster ride of successful highs only to be
followed by the deepest lows where I would sabotage my own efforts and
lose everything.
I tried to change my life with just about every
self help and personal development book, audio program or course
imaginable. If the sales pitch claimed to have the answers I was looking
for, I bought it.
After 25 years with no permanent success, my
beliefs had become quite tainted. I began thinking maybe I was just a
big dreamer with no hope for success and only those promoting self help
information were making it. Permanent, positive change seemed
impossible.
I also began to question if I was destined to be
angry, depressed and financially distraught with one bad relationship
after another. Were there any answers to help me?
Many of you may
have come to the conclusion misinformation is abundant in the self help
industry. Perhaps you have also acquired self help books and courses
which have provided little to no relief from the nagging problems in
your life.
