      About the Author

      To Christina Perkins, Audrey Armstrong,

      and Robert and Sandra Granville—without imagination

      and dreams, we go nowhere.

      Preface

      A number of years ago, I set some goals that would take me in the direction I thought I needed and wanted to be financially and personally. At the time, I had no idea how I was going to go about this plan, but I knew I needed to begin the journey right away. I was getting older, and I had not lived up to my life’s expectations. I knew I would have to truly believe I would get there.

      After several years, I had made some progress toward my goals, but it had been slow. I was thinking a lot about the time it was taking and the methods I was using to reach my goals. When I set my goals, it was a ten-year plan. After almost five years, I had only five more years left to reach my goals and dreams. I needed to get moving in a hurry if I was going to adhere to my plan. There was something missing. I could not figure out a method or thought process that would push me forward to realize my dreams of financial and personal success.

      I was missing an untapped power inside. If I discovered it, it could put me into orbit. After a lot of deep thinking, meeting, and talking to many successful people, I realized what I needed to change. I needed to be the person I was not—or at least the person I thought I was not—but I didn’t know how I could change.

      One day while I was moving, I came across a box filled with childhood keepsakes. There were pages of words and doodles from when I was young; they were mainly scraps of notebook paper. On one of the pages, I had written about flying in a rocking chair. On the page, someone else had written the words The Real You. My grandmother must have jotted down those words because she was the person who took me on those rocking-chair flights. I don’t remember her ever saying those words to me or maybe she did and I just don’t remember. But there they were, The Real You. What did it mean?

      When I was young, my grandparents owned a fieldstone farmhouse built in the 1850s. My great-grandmother actually grew up in that home, and my grandmother and mother did also. I spent quite a bit of time there, and there was no place I would have rather been at that time. The home and property were almost magical for me. When I was there I felt real and inspired, like my real self was exposed. I felt everything I thought about or dreamed about were possible. My grandparents operated a fruit stand. It was larger than a simple fruit stand, more like a small country store. The fruit stand was on their property adjacent to the home, and I spent a lot of time helping them and hanging around the stand.

      When things were slow, my grandmother would sit me on her lap in a rocking chair and say, Do you want to take an airplane ride?

      I would always say, Yes!

      She would start rocking, and we would fly over her property and the fruit stand. She would say, Look down. There’s Grandpa. See him? Look over there. There’s Grandma planting flowers.

      I would swear to this day that we were really flying over their property in that rocking chair. My imagination was so vivid then; it seemed so real.

      Those rocking-chair flights with my grandmother taught me how powerful a vivid imagination could be. I can still visualize those rocking-chair flights.

      When I found that scrap of paper with The Real You written on it, I realized what I needed to do. I needed to find my original self. I believe my grandparents had found their original selves and were living out their dreams. I needed to change the way I was thinking and find my original self so I could begin to live out my dreams.

      That was how I thought I needed to
