"If you don’t make the effort to read it, listen to it, watch it, attend it or hang around those that have it, you will never get it. If you never get it, it is impossible to give it. What if everyone took your approach to personal development?"

BUT...I AM NOT "MOST PEOPLE"!!

Are you using the “My Life Appraisal™” process to change your life? We want to hear from you because you are "UnMost People".

Our country needs a shift from what "Most People" are doing!!

Welcome to the tribe of less than 5% of the nation that writes and establishes goals and plans for different aspects of their life.
Are you like "Most People" or do you stand out just a little?
Maybe a little above the crowd?
If you have begun “My Life Appraisal™”, this is you.

Note: If you believe that your success is dependent on Your House instead of the White House, if you want to change your life, read on!
I'm not going to quote statistics and their sources but after my research I find these things to be accurate in the United States. Also, keep in mind that when I say "Most People", I am not referring to 51%. The figures are much higher.

• "Most People" are classified as overweight or obese.

• "Most People" are dependent on their next paycheck to meet current living expenses.

• "Most People" have a regret of not spending enough time with the ones they love.

• Most People" will not read another non-fiction book after completing their education.

• "Most People" will never pay to attend an educational or personal growth seminar.

Well, would you agree that "Most People" are not healthy, wealthy and wise? Are we doing things that "Most People" do? Let's make a change!
It started in March of 2010 but I really didn't realize the true secret to healthy, wealthy and wise until July 22, 2010 at 11:00PM. That's when it happened for me.

In March 2010 I bought a treadmill and through pure discipline I forced myself to use it regularly. Didn't enjoy it, wasn't fun, but I began focusing on results and a goal, not what I was doing to acheive the goal. What happened was a loss of 20 pounds but that's not what is exciting. I've lost those 20 pounds before. What changed my thought process on success was the 70 year-old book I read on July 22, 2010. It applies to all aspects of our lives. That's when it happened for me!! When will it happen for you? Can I suggest NOW?

They say "for things to change, you have to change". Who are they? Who says that? I don't know, it doesn't matter, because I agree with them! I'm looking for people that want to change! On July, 22, 2010 at 11:00PM I changed! I read it!! I read it in a book recapping a presentation initially given in 1940!

Now let me set the stage. I had read "Turning Setbacks Into Greenbacks" by Willie Jolley and "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy in the three weeks prior to this date. They were both great books and pointed strongly to personal accountability, discipline and consistency. This 70-year old booklet just topped it off. THE "Secret to Success"! The "Silver Bullet"! The "Golden Nugget"! My "Ah Ha" moment! The secret to being HEALTHY! The secret to being WEALTHY in finances, time and relationships! Plus the secret to being WISE! The secret to Healthy, Wealthy and Wise! Isn't that what we all want?

Well, I had some degree of success in all three of these but I was Unwilling To Settle, I wanted more of each. Well, I have found what has tripped my trigger and pushed my button. I know I've probably heard it before but I guess the "student was ready"! The teacher appeared in the form of a 44-page book with words spoken in 1940. There IS "nothing new under the sun"!

Now it's not easy and "Most People" will not do it but I no longer want to be like "Most People"! Here is a quick question. How is that being like "Most People" thing working for us? It's probably not! Let's change that together.

Okay, let me give you just a snippet of what has me so excited!
The common denominator of success - the secret of every person who has ever been successful - lies in the fact that he or she formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. It's just as true as it sounds and it's just as simple as it seems.

Perhaps you have wondered why it is that your most successful peers seem to like to do the things that you don't like to do. They don't. And I think this is the most encouraging statement I have ever offered to anyone.

But if they don't like to do these things, then why do they do them? Because by doing the things they don't like to do, they can accomplish the things that they want to accomplish. Successful people are influenced by the desire for pleasing results. Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing things they like to do.

Excerpted from Albert E. N. Gray's The Common Denominator of Success, 1940
That's why I mentioned the treadmill. It's in my garage and it is HOT out there as I write this. I do not enjoy the process of running on it but I want to be healthy. I want to see my grandkids grow up. I am focusing on the future results. Doing things that are fun all the time will not produce the results that you want. What I love about this principle is that it applies to all aspects of our lives. Healthy, Wealthy (in time, relationships and finance) and Wisdom.
This has had such a huge influence on me.

I truly believe this was one of the driving forces behind the creation of "My Life Appraisal™". It was the driver behind the "One Life - One Binder" concept. What we have created is goal setting, dream building, life evaluation, life planning, personal development and accountability all in one binder.

I want anyone that is unhappy with their current situation to join me in forming habits of doing more things we do not "like" to do that get us closer to our dreams, goals and destination. This shift is away from being like "most people". I want to share success stories created by "My Life Appraisal™" and information that will assist you in becoming "UnMost People". There is all this negative talk about our country. I don't like it but I believe our country is a larger mirror image of all of us living here. That is you and I.
Would this country be a better place if these statements were true?

"Most people" are not in debt.

"Most people" are in great physical condition.

"Most people" are constantly attending or reading something educational.

"Most People" do not spend over 3 hours a day in front of the TV!

Of course we would be a stronger country!! Let's do things differently. Let's do something every day in the healthy, wealthy and wise category that "most people" would not do. Don't forget, successful people don't "like" doing some of these things but they form the habit of doing it anyway.

Let's become dependent on "Our House" instead of the "White House".

I have an idea. Let's blame it on "the hand"! Are you right or left handed? Think about it. That hand opens the menu. It controls your fork and spoon. It writes checks. It hands over that credit card. It controls the remote control. But wait!! That same hand can control the fork and spoon in healthier food. It more than likely assists you in earning a living and it can also open a good personal development book. Well that puts it back on us! You and I. We MUST take responsibility. But since that hand does so many of these actions I have created a reminder. It is a wristband that reminds me "But I Am Not Most People". These will be sent with each binder ordered. I have never worn one of these in my life but I do now because I am committed to being like "UnMost People" in all aspects of my life. Click HERE to order "My Life Appraisal™".

Imagine this one day. You ordered a salad at lunch, took a walk around the neighborhood later that day, decided NOT to buy something else and put it on your credit card, and read 15 pages in a good personal development book. You just covered healthy, wealthy and wise. How does that compare to "Most People" ordering the chili cheese fries, stopping at the electronic store on the way home and using the available credit on their card to buy the latest device, getting home, pulling a cold one out of the frig and hitting their recliner for the 3 hours of TV that "most people" watch per day. Oh, wait, the 3 hours may be cut short because of our new toy we bought. Maybe there is still hope, they lie down, they reach for oh, no, the remote control, more TV. But wait, they turn the TV off, they want to read. They reach for a good, OH, NO, a magazine about celebrities. Does any of these hit home? Yeah, me too, but I am changing. I am like "most people" in many ways but if these way do not contribute to a healthier, wealthier (in time, relationships and finance) and wiser lifestyle, I will say these words, "But I am not "most people".

One of the other facts I stumbled on is that 80% of Americans want to write a book but "Most People" will not. I wrote and self-published my first book "If Your Baby Could Talk...Would You Listen? A Baby's Thoughts On Raising Good Parents" in 2008. I had put it off for years. Here is an opportunity for some of you to be part of what will begin as an E-Book. Will it turn into something that will be published? "Most People" would think not, but I am not most people! I want your assistance in compiling this E-Book. The title is already selected. "But I Am Not Most People" "Inspirational Success Stories Created By Users Of "My Life Appraisal™". These will be stories of people that have overcome obstacles by forming habits of doing things that "Most People" will not do".

I know there are "UnMost People" out there that have overcome physical, financial and relationship obstacles in their life. I know there are "UnMost People" out there who went from "time-broke" working 80-100 hours a week to having time to spend with their family. I know there are "UnMost People" out there that went against time and financial odds to complete an education. There ARE "UnMost People" out there that are Healthier, Wealthier in time, relationships, finance and Wiser as a result of forming habits of doing things that no one likes to do and "Most People" will not do! In fact, each story must end with this statement, "Most people would not have been willing to ___________ But I or We are not Most People".
We will select fifty of the best stories and make them initially available as an E-Book. Click HERE to read the requirements and submit your story.
