Now I can’t think of anything more rewarding than sharing my knowledge with an audience and seeing how they can instantly apply it to their own situations.

A Note from the Author, David Portney
I’m dedicating this book to those who are ready to embrace new or better ways of getting things done. We no longer need to be, nor should we feel, bound or held back by the methodologies and mind sets that have benefited the few at the expense of the many. Now is the time, today is the day, for immediate and perhaps even bold actions. My hope is that this book will embolden you, empower you, and that you will use the tools and techniques contained in this book toward the betterment of your life, your loved ones, your community, and ultimately perhaps even the nation and world at large because you believed in yourself enough to act.
