“Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.”
– Richard Bach

“This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst then be false to any man.”
– William Shakespeare

I believe that the path to true personal greatness can be found through the use of a personal journal. Remember that you will never be as successful as you will be to your own self, and the journal can enlighten you in more ways in this area than you would have ever thought possible. Many great successful men and women have kept personal journals.

“There are many who are living far below their possibilities because they are continually handing over their individualities to others. Do you want to be a power in the world? Then be yourself. Be true to the highest within your soul and allow yourself to be governed by no customs or conventionalities or arbitrary man-made rules that are not founded on principle.”
– Ralph Waldo Trine

“Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.”
– Miguel de Cervantes

In everything you do or want to do in life, you are always governed by law and not by chance. Natural laws are principles or explanations of why things are the way they are. Principles defined by Webster are “fundamental laws or facts of nature.” Out of the many you have read or will read about in this book, there is one, however, that is the foundational principle to all success.

I’m the special guest this week on a special "online talk show" called Internet Marketing Unwrapped. Hosted by Heather Vale, these teleshows are new, fresh, in-depth, completely unscripted and, unlike most typical teleseminars.

Why? First off, Heather Vale is a veteran interviewer.

She is not only an Internet marketer herself but also a seasoned reporter and television talk show host from Toronto, Canada. She has appeared on several major Canadian television networks and national news shows, as well as a celebrity interviewer during the Gemini and Genie awards (Canada’s version of the Oscars and Emmys).

Her style is slightly different than most teleseminars out there. Her questions are pointed and direct, and as a veteran reporter she knows how to extract some real, golden nuggets from her guests. (Even I learned a few things!)

In fact, this is the "second season" because the first one was so immensely popular, the second one is the result of popular demand. So I recommend that you signup to listen to these shows. Click here to register now.
