I have met the enemy

I have met the enemy...and it is ME.
It took me more than 40 years (I'm a slow learner :-) to figure out what my biggest problem was --- me.

Okay, maybe all along I knew it deep down inside..I just didn't want to admit it.

So after I had this magnificent illumination (duh!) I made a mighty resolution to do better and I thought that would take care of everything.

Boy was I wrong. But at least I was in good company because I found out that none other than Benjamin Franklin (his face is on the U.S. $100 dollar bill), that great icon of early Americana, had thought the same thing.

Lest you think I'm trying to compare myself to Franklin, you should know that Franklin actually did something about his situation once he learned that he was the biggest obstacle to his success.

In fact, he devised a very effective (but little known) method for mastering all of the character traits that are critical to living a successful and serene life.

I first read about Franklin's method about ten years ago. Unfortunately I just read about it --- I never did anything with it.

On the other hand, my friend and best-selling author Bob Burg had an opposite reaction when he learned about Franklin's phenomenal system --- he decided to learn and master the method in his own life. Bob's discoveries and transformation were no less than Franklin's were over two hundred years ago. He found he could take any bad, weak or ineffective habit or character trait and, using Franklin's method, turn it into an effective, positive one.

Armed with his personal experience and further enhancements, Bob has taken that system and created a one-of-a-kind tele-seminar to teach others the same method first employed by Franklin. Now before you think that Franklin's old-fashioned remedy might be a little outdated, read what weight-loss guru Donna Krech said about Bob's program: "You've cornered the market on the most FANTASTIC information available for a person to be, live in and have the excellence they were created for. Your program will truly change lives!"

Now the amazing audio recordings of the four nearly hour-long sessions have been converted to fully downloadable mp3 audio files. And they include a downloadable, printable Workbook -- the same one used by the tele-seminar participants. Using these materials you'll be able to follow along and perform the same exercises that helped so many learn how to Conquer Yourself!

As a convenience to those who don't have a high-speed internet connection and don't want to download the files, we've also produced a CD that contains all of the seminar files. For a small additional charge you can receive these files on CD, shipped by Priority Shipping, regardless of where you live.

James Allen wrote a very telling passage in his book Mastery of Destiny. Here it is in part:

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll;

I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

Become the Master of your fate - the Captain of your soul! Learn
