INTRODUCTION


The purpose of this book is to assist you in making changes in your life, whether small or large, and to do it quick, without losing the quality of the experience you are seeking. This book is targeted to Individuals and Businesses, who want distinctive, result-producing change, in a short period of time. Rather than being a “Victim of Change”, we want to learn to “Create Change”, not just for mediocre results, but for Superior results. Everyone I know wants to make some kind of change in their life from time to time, in order to improve something, usually surrounding the “Big 3”Money, Health & Relationships….which trickle down into many smaller, sub-subjects, described below. This book will teach you how to, in a positive way, CHANGE YOUR LIFE In 1 Hour – whether it pertains to your Money, your Purpose, your Business, your Passion, your Health, your Relationships, your Career, your Family, your Love life, your Habits, your Emotions, your Wisdom, your Children, your Respect, your Honesty, your Dignity, your Importance, your Spirituality or any other area you desire. It’s designed to give you specific tools that are easy to remember and implement, of which, you can put into action IMMEDIATELY! … sometimes with an expectation of tangible, physical results being seen in as short as, 1 Hour!


You can find dozens of books written by authors on finding your Purpose, finding your Passion, building your Business and creating Money. There are so many, it will overwhelm you. There is tons of redundancy on these topics and what you get, is someone else’s opinion (the author’s) of how they perceive the world and their rendition of it. Nothing wrong with this, but it can be overwhelming as to who you think is right and who you think is wrong. I propose something different. I propose that what you read, is designed to spur your mind into thinking for yourself, to create ideas by which you use, to live the life you want to live – and CHANGE it anytime you want, along the way. I propose that MY writings are not Right and they are not Wrong – they are both. The Purpose of this book, is to make you think for yourself and build your world, whether you read it today or read it 20 years from now. The principles and power of its message will be available to you. Our #1 enemy in creating the changes we want in life, center around our stubbornness to realize that “we just don’t know it all”. Yes, the longer we live, the more we think we’ve got it all figured out in many areas of life, and it just aint so! Open your mind to the things you THINK you know about so well, and welcome in the CHANGE your soul desires.


Well, how is my book different? The way it is different, is that you get MY experiences, opinions, research, stories, philosophies, depth, spirituality, personality, communication, intuition, feelings, emotions, hopes, dreams, soul and energy, at your disposal. Nothing fancy here, but I’m unique, just as you are unique and we feed off each other. One of my main target areas in this book, is the business world, of which we call “The World Economy”, because we’re seeing such drastic change in all those old paradigm structures that have been in place for decades. The past 4 years (since 2008), has turned the world upside down. The world’s unstable economy and governments, are affecting the masses of people that work in these businesses, impacting their personal lives, in every department, causing huge CHANGE, and rightfully so, and perhaps long overdue. Not just money, but it’s affecting health, relationships, family and everything in-between. One thing is for certain in life; Nothing stays the same for very long, even though at times, certain things do seem to go on forever. There are always some things in our personal life that we NEVER want to change. However, most people constantly seek change in their life, for the better, as an on-going process to higher growth and expansion or to escape the pain of certain consequences. You can “CHANGE YOUR LIFE In 1 Hour”, if you so desire and more importantly, change it to something closer to what you want or better than what you want. It’s my intention to show you how, in this book.


After interviewing dozens of people about the pro’s and cons of CHANGE in life, I found that the #1 complaint about creative change, was that people thought the process took too long. In other words, once the decision is made to make a change of some kind, people agree that the physical result takes too long before physical manifestation or reality actually occurs in life. People want results RIGHT NOW! In some cases it’s beneficial for the change to occur over a certain extended period of time and at other times, it’s better if they occur right away! It’s human nature to want everything right now, but forces outside our control obviously think otherwise and require us to be patient, while doing what we can to assist in the process. Let’s call them “Special Forces”, God, Universe, or as I like to call them, “The Gods”, for simplicity sake, have a system, whereby things take place in some kind of order, which nobody can, nor ever will, figure out the timing of it all to perfection. However, it’s my belief and I’ve seen it occur many times in my own life experience, as well as others, that we can affect the speed in which some things change in our life, by following some Basic Knowledge, Concepts and Efforts along the way. Interestingly enough, you’ll find that many things we’ve been taught, even as a child and in schools or religion, work counterproductive in giving us what we really want in life and definitely not at the speed we want them – and then we can’t figure out why things don’t or aren’t working as we planned. We’ll talk about these throughout the book.


You say, “How can my life change in 1 Hour?” How can that be? Well, take this for example: In 1 hour you can be 80 miles from where you are now, if you’re traveling at 80 mph. Yes, 80 miles. I’m not advocating speeding here, but that’s quite a distance, in not very much time. So likewise, mentally, you can change your world in just about any given area, in as little as 1 Hour. You can be 80 miles mentally, so to speak, from where you originally were, in your mind and understanding. Correspondingly, your outside world must adjust and begin changing immediately to your thoughts and actions. How do we do it? It sounds really simple, but think about this for a moment. How long did it take you to decide what you wanted to eat for dinner last night? A few seconds or minutes? And if you made a choice for instance, that ended up making you ill or gave you food poisoning, then in a matter of perhaps 1 hour or so, you could very well have died or ended up in the hospital! All because of a choice that you made in a matter of, let’s say, “1 Hour”. This is a drastic example and you had no power over whether or not you’d get sick, but it’s worth illustrating the power that CHANGE can make within 1 Hour. There are endless subjects we as humans consider changing, on a regular basis. It can be easy for CHANGE to occur with some subjects and difficult for others, but with knowledge, focus and desire, just about anything can change. However, first we have to BELIEVE they will change.


Can anything be changed? The answer is NO. For instance, if you’re 90 years old and want to become the President of the United States, of course that’s not going to happen, at least in this lifetime. Although good things could happen in your life, as a result of your desire to change your life and strive to be the President of the U.S., even at age 90! Here’s where I make a HUGE DISCLAIMER: There are some things in life that will NEVER CHANGE, no matter what you do. Call it Fate, call it circumstances, call it “The Gods” will, call it impossible logic…….whatever. There aren’t many things that “cannot” change and there are very few of these areas I call, “Unchangeable”. Most of these things, we just don’t know the details as to why or if or when change can occur. However, the biggest indicator of what may never change in our life, could be our Feelings surrounding the subject. Not always, but sometimes. That’s about all we have to go on, as to the “logical statistics” of something occurring or not….which is really not logical at all, it’s intuitive. So, we have to form a different attitude about the things we want in life, as is stated below:


One thing I know is for certain:


We’ve all been born with the ability to create and practice free will.

If a person can THINK IT, then I believe they can CREATE it.


For example, look at where technology has come in the past 30 years. Our great grandparents had no idea what a cell phone was, a commercial jet, or an ipod. These all started in someone’s mind, as a CHANGE. So, the good news is that perhaps ANYTHING is possible and this should be our 100% mental commitment and ATTITUDE about ANY change we want in our life. If you FEEL, deeply and strongly about something within yourself, then there’s a really good reason and your soul or center, is trying to lead you somewhere important, whether it’s for a moment or a lifetime. Follow it. Follow it. Follow it.


CHANGE first has to start with what you personally WANT in life, even if you don’t quite know what you want....and there are a large majority of people, who don’t know what they want in life, so don’t feel like you might be alone in this category….which brings us back to this book and the information in it. In a survey, 9 out of 10 people did not know what they’re “Purpose” was. Most thought their job description was their Purpose, which was totally wrong in most cases. This is key information to learning who we are and what fuels us forward in life. Yet, most people are lost on their personal roadmap in life, and don’t know what their Purpose is and won’t admit it, search it or change it, until circumstances crash and burn so bad in their lives, they start making drastic changes. They have no other choice but to deal with epic damage control, which usually produces significant pain and suffering in many departments. Ask yourself, “What is MY Purpose in Life?” Dig deep on that one, because if you don’t know yet, then maybe you need to get clear on it, because it’s important as to where you’re headed next for the long term future. Whether you know or don’t know what you want in life, in any given area or subject, this book will set you in the right direction….and do it in less time, if you follow the guidance and essence of its message.


This information is not just a bunch of human philosophies or beliefs gathered together to give you just my personal opinion. You know what they say about opinions…We have enough of those in the world. This book includes real life stories…my story and that of others. Everyone loves a story. Something to grasp on to, something to believe in, something to envision, something to be inspired by….or even something to be warned by. Yes, REAL LIFE stories, which you’ll find entwined within all the other information.


Oh, and by the way, in the last paragraph of this book, the very last paragraph, you’ll read one of the most important statements ever given – but you MUST NOT go there and read it until you’ve finished the entire book. WARNING! If you go there before you read the entire book, not only will you be breaking this important rule, but you will also ruin the value of this book for yourself. I repeat, DO NOT read the last paragraph in this book, until you’ve read the entire book first! That’s an order! This is absolutely imperative that you follow this rule….and I will know if you skipped ahead and read it. Don’t ask me how, but I and others will know!


In CHANGE YOUR LIFE In 1 Hour, the power resides with you, not outside you or with someone else. This book is no rah-rah session of hyped up, useless emotional motivational junk, which sounds good for about 15 seconds and then dies a worthless death. I’ve written this book, with a slant towards primarily the business world, careers, money topics, communication excellence and human nature values, because like it or not, the most powerful energy on this planet is MONEY. Money rules & controls just about everything we do and are a part of, here on this planet. So, the better acquainted we are with the elements of money, positives, negatives, inflow, outflow, the quicker we’ll be able to factor it into our lives from a positive standpoint and consider it’s freedom, usage and satisfactional benefits. It’s not the money itself that is sometimes elusive, nor evil, nor bad, nor controlling. I’m NOT saying Money is a cure-all or complete focus in life, for that would be out of balance. I’m also not saying you have to be Rich to be happy. But please read the next several paragraphs and really soak up the essence of this topic of money and how its importance is powerfully connected to our everyday life and existence here on this 3rd rock from the sun. It’s the CREATION of money that we have to understand and our human attitude about it, that either attracts it or not, followed by other factors we’ll talk about. Balancing the use of the energy called “Money” is what we want to achieve.


Consider these examples (All true stories): A man goes to technical school, works 60 hrs. a week driving a truck for 30 years, leads a mediocre life and saves $100,000. Another man graduates high school, creates a software program, works 20 hours a week and in 5 years, retires with 130 million in his bank account. Another man has no education, lives with his friends at age 30, has no job, dreams of winning the lottery and one day he collects $70 million in lottery winnings. Another man at age 21 graduates from high school and soon afterward, is on national television playing poker in Las Vegas for $400,000 a hand and ends up winning over $14 million in one night. Another man goes to medical school for 15 years out of high school, spends $500,000, graduates as a Medical Doctor and in his 5th year, is finally making $300,000 a year, working 80 – 100 hours a week, until he finally has his own health issues, including a heart attack at age 43 and has to stop practicing. So, money is the main driving force around our world, and we do well to examine its creative production, even more so than its “Action” – “Reward” side of the equation. Because “Hard Work”, does not, guarantee you a happy life, nor a Rich one, despite what all the country music songs say, and all the Harvard Business Schools teach about it…. Just joking a little here, but we have to take a good hard look at what’s really happening in the money department on this planet. There is much more to it.


And no, I’m not talking about having a counter-fit printing press in your basement! I’m not saying money is the answer to all our problems or even happiness. We all know that’s not true. But we might as well face it. The LACK of Money is a constant problem for governments, our economy and the vast majority of humans today. How do we know this? Just listen to the majority of conversations around you each day at work, in your neighborhood, at church, on TV, at the convenience store, at school, amongst family……. We’d like to ignore it in some way, but a very large ingredient to us being able to change our lives the way we want, centers around how we create things in our personal world, including the most powerful element of money.

The reason is because each of us is uniquely different, and we all have a list of things we’d like to change in our lives for the better. My goal is to help you get to those CHANGES as quickly as possible, and see them become physical reality, in exactly the way you’ve envisioned, dreamed about and described them.


I’d just like to say here in the beginning, that I’m a mortal, simple man, who’s humble, yet educated and consider myself very successful in life, according to my own standards. However, I’m not done yet and have much more to learn, accomplish and experience in life. The past 50 years of my life have brought me to many realizations, and here are 3 of the most important:


Big Realization #1: We never stop learning. No matter how much we know, or how old we get. There are more things in this universe to learn, than we can even imagine. The day we lose the desire to keep learning, is the day we’ve decided to leave this planet behind as a human being. When we stop using the brain creatively, all sorts of declining things start occurring.

Big Realization #2: CHANGE in our life is going to continue until we die and beyond, on a minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year occurrence. Don’t get too comfortable where you are right now, because it’s going to change soon, like it or not. We can learn to creatively guide some of those changes, instead of depending on our sub-conscious mind to just dole out mediocre results in our physical life, which we may or may not want to deal with. So, we should warm up to consciously creating CHANGE and learn to love it, accept it and not be surprised by its shocking, surprising and sometimes unexpected results.

Big Realization #3: We were born with the power inside our souls to orchestrate CHANGE in our life, in a relatively short period of time. Yes, the mind in partnership with the soul, has the power to change our life within 1 Hour, regardless of the subject. Why 1 Hour? Well, this time span of 60 minutes, is just a reference point as to the approximate time of initiation within a point of origin, which gets the sequence of events started within the universal field of possibility. Things start flying into motion behind the scenes, when we use certain principles of mind, emotions and actions.


Throughout this book, we’ll show examples, scientific and otherwise, that support how this statement really works. As you read this book, you are changing your life more than you know, and within 1 Hour, you may just change it so much, that you’ll be wondering who you’ve been and what you’ve been doing all these years! Do you want CHANGE in your life? Of course you do, or you wouldn’t be reading this book. I guarantee you that there is at least one really huge thing or circumstance in your life that you want to change as fast as possible! Am I right? Of course, because that’s the way all of us humans are made. On the other hand, I’m sure there are many things in your life that you feel satisfied with and don’t want to change. That’s perfectly normal, but the question is, “What exactly do YOU want to change for yourself?” and “How soon do you want the changes to take place?” Well, as we’ll consider, there are many different degrees as to how and when your changes can happen in your physical reality, and you’ll be surprised at how quickly most of them can occur. We’ll be making LISTS. Yes, I’m a firm believer in lists and organizing things into thoughts and thought patterns. We have to get our lives “List Organized”, as I call it. For example: When you go to a “sit down” restaurant and the waiter takes everyone’s order at the table and doesn’t write down the details……..well, guess what - there’s going to be mistakes. Always. This ends up costing customer satisfaction, communication errors, frustration, time delays, unnecessary food waste, increased labor costs, delays in seating and much more. Everyone suffers and it costs MONEY to make those mistakes. You HAVE to take notes in life! It’s mandatory! No exceptions. We tap into an unseen power when we take notes, and without it, we’re winging it in “Failure and Delay land”.


Now, more than ever, people all over the world are asking themselves some very deep questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? What kind of career do I want? What do I do for money? Can I do something I like and earn enough money to be comfortable? Where am I headed in the future?, “What do I have to do, to be rich?”, “Why is it so hard for me?”...... and many more issues and concerns. In most cases, it all funnels toward the topic of money, particularly the lack of it unfortunately, by most people today. Of course, many people want good health and great relationships, to be “in love”, and liked in life. But those too, are always linked very uniquely to money in some form, for we cannot escape it, in this present world system of things. We’ll touch on health and relationships later, because they are very important, but for now, our #1 topic in the beginning stages of this book, centers around money and the creation of it, careers, jobs, corporate business, the people and processes in them – BECAUSE, most people spend more time at their place of employment, their job, than they do at home. If you don’t believe me, ask President Obama or even the next President, how important money and jobs are to him and the United States economy, psychology and health of the nation and world situation in general right now and for the foreseeable future! It’s the #1 Concern of the majority of people on this planet worldwide!


Like it or not, our economic system on this planet is regulated by the in-flow and out-flow of money. At our foundation, it funnels down to the capability of each and every human being’s individual ability to co-create money in their personal lives. This in turn affects our local community’s money supply, our local government’s money supply, our state or regional area’s money supply and as a whole, our nation’s money supply and then of course, it reaches the worldwide economic landscape. Contrary to popular belief, it all starts with our own Personal Mindset and Beliefs about money. This is at the foundation of whether we have or do not have the abundance or inflow of money we desire. And then, we have to link it all to the amount of Joy and Happiness we’re experiencing because of its effects……our health, our family, our mental health, our relationships, our children and societal factors as a whole. Yes, to improve our world, each and every person has to learn to improve his or her own personal life circumstance – FIRST. You individually have begun the process by reading this book. But reading it isn’t even close to enough. We have to put a few simple things into motion and then the results will come. If this were not so, then you and I are just wasting our time here on this earth, and my experience has taught me otherwise. I’m sure you can say the same, to some degree.


In today's society, we have limited time available. In today's economy, people don't want to spend lots of time and money looking for those answers, because quite frankly there isn't enough time, with everything that's going on in life. However, NOW during this time of "perceived economic slowdown or re-grouping", is the exact time for individuals and companies to build solid foundational values, in preparation for the up-turn, that is sure to come. Recently, the world has changed like never before in history and especially in our lifetime, not only from an economic standpoint, but from a personal existence standpoint. People are questioning themselves, their Purpose, their Passion, their Existence, their Worth, the people around them and the systems of this world, more deeply than ever before…. All because CHANGE has forced them to. Each person has or will CHANGE their experience in life, like never before.
