The title of this email to you might shock you a bit.

Maybe it even offends you.

But this is what some people say so let’s take a look and see if it has merit.

There are successful business people who have everything they want and their position in a nutshell is this: “Don’t waste your time with that ‘warm and fuzzy feel good’ stuff. This world is about setting your mind to something and then moving your arms and legs to get it done. Personal development products are a waste of time.”

Really, this is what they say!

And so maybe you’re putting in all this effort; going to Tony Robbins seminars, buying CDs on hypnosis, and setting goals every January 1st. Meanwhile, you still aren’t where you want to be and these guys are rolling in money and success.

Makes you stop and wonder: is personal development a waste of time?

How else can you explain it? Someone who puts no attention on self improvement and still has success?

Well before you run to the closet and put all your Brian Tracy programs up for auction on eBay, consider this:

Maybe some people ARE studying personal development but they call it something else.

You see, these same people, if you take a closer look I’m betting you will see that they ARE studying personal development!

If you ask one of them how they grow their business so quickly, they may say something like, “well I take quick, decisive action.” Everyone knows you have to do that to be successful.”

Oh really! And so what makes you so confident in your quick decisions and that they are good ones?

And then they may say something like, “Because I pay attention to small details and I trust my gut.”

Aha! So what they are REALLY saying is that they have practiced the art of listening to their intuition!!!

…personal development, my friend. It’s just being labeled something else. It’s still personal development.

We all need it: If you don’t practice “Saying Yes to YOU” then how are you going to be able to help anyone else along the way? It’s the gatekeeper to where you want to get to.
