This is an all-in manual for success. The Magic of Thinking Big has had a huge influence on me and my life. It’s about controlling your mind to live a life of happiness and fulfillment. By being aware and present to make important decisions. Thinking bigger than ever before you will be achieve big results. Most of us fail to set big goals because of fear of failure or that it may seem “impossible”. This leads us down a road of average and normal. By taking risks and believing in ourselves we can achieve our wildest dreams.
Dale Carnegie is a well-known author who has produced many best sellers. How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of his best. Dale speaks about how we all deal with people for our entire lives but never learn how to deal with them properly.

He describes ways to improve your relationships and get along with a lot of different types of people. Create lasting relationships that can benefit everyone during your lifetime.

To create a business and lifestyle where you can work less and earn more. Tim has gone on to accomplish a lot of different things while travelling the world and working for himself. He has built several businesses of his own and gives concrete steps to follow, to create something of your own.
Michael Hyatt has been a favorite author of mine since I found him online a few years ago. He writes easy to read books that include online sheets and steps to follow which produce real results. Your Best Year Ever is his best book in my opinion and is about how to conquer your year ahead. He goes into detail into why you need to make goal setting a priority with a proven method to follow. He also talks about the Daily Big 3 tasks that you should aim for each day to get you closer to reaching your goals. By finishing only a few important tasks each day you will accomplish a lot in just a year.
