I VERY rarely read books, but decided to pick up The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson from your recommendation. I must say that it is a truly amazing book! I just started reading it yesterday and will be finished with it today. It totally changes the way you think and really puts things into perspective.

I also bought The Winning Attitude by John Maxwell, which I'm not sure if I'm going to like as much. I am not religious at all and there seems to be a lot of references to the bible and so forth, which I can't really relate to. I really like the style of Jeff Olson.

What other books would you recommend? I was thinking about picking up The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey.

Thanks for the motivation!

That's great to hear Rick. I hear yah on the biblical references. I too was wierded out by them in the beginning. Once I understood why it was referenced, it helped a lot. Think of it like a service manual for a car. It is referenced like that as a standard or basis so that there is no ands buts or ifs about it like the manual.

Some other books to get:
Three Feet From Gold, Wild at Heart, An Enemy called Average, Four Pillars of a Man's Heart...these should get you started

I've read this book many times...

Build Confidence and Destroy Fear
Action cures fear. Indecision, postponement, on the other hand, fertilize fear.

Needed this lesson today....thanks.
