Maybe you are like I was, somewhere in between a little confused to completely
in the dark about what I wanted to do with my life. And, if I did figure that out…
how I was going to pull it off? I really wanted to be successful, to contribute, to
be respected, to be secure, and to have financial freedom. But I didn’t know how.
The rules for doing so didn’t work for me. Good grades, college, a family business
or career counseling. Instead, I was fortunate to hook up with some people who
had powerful alternatives, and given my history, I was fortunate to finally listen to
them…the results have been staggering.
I had to hear this information a lot of different ways before I heard it in a way that
I got it. I expect that when you study the flow of these secrets, you will get it too.
Then, all you have to do is hold on.
—Richard Brooke
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a
mighty one. That is being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of
ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making
you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I
live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I
rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid
torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly
as possible before handing it on to future generations.
—George Bernard Shaw

This book is dedicated to
Kurt and Jeannie Robb—
in honor of their gift of life.
★★★
The original title of this book was “Mach II with your Hair on Fire”. The purpose
of the title was to indicate the pace and momentum one could attain using the
techniques in this book. On this the fourth reprint and rewrite we changed the title
to better reflect the process, although for those looking at it for the first time it may
not make a lot of sense!
