Dear Really Rad Friend and Subscriber,
I wanna totally and completely do something that I tell my clients NEVER to do
Not just clients, but anyone with two ears (or one even), that will listen to me..
It's to do something so heinous, that if I were to go back and count all of the times I said either in posts, podcasts, to friends, or have written on bathroom stalls, it would be in the thousands…
...I'm going to give you a list!
But wait, that doesn't seem so bad, does it?
Well in this case, no
But in most cases, yes
In most cases, listicle articles read like science textbooks and are dripping with chatgpt discharge
Gross!
In this case however, I'm going to share with you the top 15 books that have made me into the person I am today: A complete and total badass
I'm not joking about that either (the 'making me who I am today' part. The badass part, just a teeny bit)
These books, especially the spiritual ones, have given me the self image, belief, and grit, to understand the most powerful "secret" in the universe:
That thoughts have creative power.
And I have used my thoughts to create a wonderful life of passion and purpose - To excel in my relationships and my work
Maybe you can relate ??
If you can, these books will supercharge you
If you can't, these books will enlighten you
The spiritual ones are first. Because they are what give me my powers in ALL that I do.
Here they are:
1. The Science of Mind (Ernest Holmes)
2. A Course In Miracles
3. The Book of Secrets (Osho)
4. A New Earth (Eckhart Tolle)
5. Stillness Speaks (Eckhart Tolle)

6. Metu Neter Vol. 1 (Ra Un Nefer Amen)
7. The Spirits' Book (Allan Kardec)
8. How to Win Friends and Influence People (Dale Carnegie)
9. Zen Mind, Beginners Mind (Shunryu Suzuki)
10. The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand)
11. Zorba the Greek (Nikos Kazantzakis)
12. The Way of the Superior Man (David Deida)
13. Making Ads Pay (John Caples)
14. The Boron Letters (Gary C. Halbert)
15. No BS Direct Response Marketing (Dan Kennedy)
...So this list turned out to be mostly spiritual and (personal development) books, and that's fine
Most of what I know about marketing I didn't learn in books, but from courses and mentors
Regardless,
The most important part about doing marketing, and running a successful business, is not the amount of knowledge you have,
It's the amount of belief you have
Not just in yourself. But that this life was created for you, and you are alone. You are one and The One.
Your thoughts, are directions that the universal spirit uses to create effects
The more you believe this truth, the more successful you will be…
Ok, that's it for today
Tomorrow… something else
Peace.
P.S. Oh yea!?
What kind of sorry excuse for a coach and marketer would I be if I left out some of my clients' books from the list?

8 个月When so many business people preach the metaphysics as their path to success, I find it amazing there is still such a division between the spirit of leadership and the embodiement and expression of it. But I also know that when someone is surprised successful worldly people read things like these books I know they are living their life with a lot more effort to survive and are likely a little lost.
