I sat up till 4am last night devouring EVERYTHING you wrote. You're absolutely right when you said, we're not putting enough value to our time in life because despite I've already got a working IM model, I've also been suckered into the ways of certain IM'ers. I should hv instead of being an opportunist, start looking at being a STRATEGIST. And the first thing I did next morning was to clear my inbox of close to 16,000 + emails and only subscribe to 6 marketers mailing list whom have been directly responsible for my little success I've had as marketer. You're definitely one of the six, Rich! Great work! Looking fwd to more content from you and your company. The Manifesto is a BRILLIANT insight and has literally opened my eyes!

The generality is somewhat necessary as the manifesto and subsequent reports are generic towards any market or individual. However, what I find most glaring is that the most obvious obstacle towards the successes illustrated, as possible in the reports, is the Status Quo of each individual. The Status Quo (Comfort Zone) is the #1 competitor and enemy. 95% of the people will read the material, find it awesome, yet still lack the discipline or ability to change. This is demonstrated by the amount of failed New Year's Resolutions, right? One of the main complaints or admonishments of Self-Help gurus is that people read the books, listen to the audios, watch the videos, then, say "WOW, Great Stuff!" without any real intention to put anything in action. The book, MP3, or video is shelved to simply collect dust.  Most people are locked in the Cognitive (Thinking ) Domain, oscillate in and out of the Affective (Emotion/Feeling) Domain, and are totally devoid of the Conative (Action) Domain. These 3 Domains collectively represent the human psyche. The Conative Domain (Action) is arrested, with the usual desire to refer back to the Cognitive Domain (more Thinking) whenever real action, that deviates from the Status Quo (Comfort), is called for. This is usually because sufficient vested interest has not been realized in the Affective Domain (Emotion), which is necessary to generate the polarity necessary to move towards pleasure/reward (Success) or away from pain/sanction (Failure of Lifestyle Lie). As pointed out in "The Missing Chapter," look inside first, then outside. Regarding the charts: 1. As pointed out, the major difference is that You is the center of the first chart representing the Lifestyle Lie. Another glaring difference is that the Success Chart has a formula for Success while the Lifestyle Lie Chart is ever expanding chaos.  The vast difference between the charts creates a spectrum of success, with the lifestyle chart being on the Total failure end, and the Success Chart being on the Financial Freedom end. 2. What is same in both charts is the illustration of Leverage, with the Lifestyle Lie Chart representing its absence and the Success Chart illustrating the natural fruition of success when full Leverage exists. Again, opposite ends of the spectrum on the same continuum. So, what is the same on BOTH charts is the answer to success (what not to do, and what to do). The reality is that the content is great in generalities. The generality is somewhat necessary as the manifesto and subsequent reports are generic towards any market or individual.

During this entire period, I studied form good teachers and mediocre ones, and was sidetracked often into dead-end tactics. I started to realize myself that I was getting just bits of the answers, pieces of truth, and not a true solution. I didn't waste too much effort or money. But I did loose time. Almost two years, and I know that thousands, tens of thousands out there didn't yet get it, and may never get it. This must be one of history's best examples of something well hidden in plane sight of the entire world...

What can I say when, every installment is better than the previous one!

It just confirms my decision to unplug from everyone else – canceling my
other program and unsubscribing from all but a couple of e-mails was
the right decision.

I agree with you that building a strategic business instead of an opportunistic
one is the only way to go and I confess to being an opportunity chaser for far
to long now.

When I heard about your BGS program I jumped right on it and I look forward to
a time when I can be one of your Guru success stories!

After a long break from entrepreneurship and a handful of brick and mortar businesses I’m finding it quite a challenge to figure out my next venture.

So I’ll be ordering your Strengths Mastery Advantage Program to help me narrow down the next chapter of my life.

Thanks again Rich

Look forward to hitting the cigar bar someday sooon!
