How to get what you really, really, really want.

Ten years ago, after my daughter's house fire accident (and us being homeless), I needed to find a career that would help me grow as a person and also support the two of us.

At the time, my experience included waiting tables. I needed something more.

I landed an interview at an insurance office for an agent position. It was for $12.50 an hour, which to me at the time, was perfect! The only problem was I needed to pass an insurance exam. I'm more of the creative type and I had an extremely hard time passing this test.

I took the test and failed. I had one more chance. If I didn't pass this exam, I would not have a job. I went to the local Goodwill and as I was walking a tape deck fell off the shelf.

I picked it up and the title said "How to get what you really, really really want" by Wayne Dyer. Being that I've always been interested in self-help I decided to purchase the tape.

I listened to it and used the techniques he described over and over and over again. I was determined to pass this test.

I went and took the test - and passed!

Since then, Wayne Dyer has been one of my favorite mentors. I highly recommend any and every book he's written.

Here is an excerpt from his "How to get what you really, really, really want."

Enjoy!

Question is - what do you want to create?
