Congratulations!
You’re taking a major step toward living the life you want to. By
this booklet, I’m pleased to help you improve the quantity and
quality of your life, so thank you for reading my work. But please,
don’t just read; put what you learn into practice.
One of the major
themes of this booklet is: Take action!
Also, take
notes. Write down whatever ideas pop into your head. No matter
how silly. Pet rocks anyone? What about Billy
Bob Teeth?
This
booklet is designed not only to help you break free from your
addiction(s), but also to help you become financially free.
For
instance, this booklet costs $6.03,
because that’s the average price for a pack of cigarettes; 1
and your road to freedom begins with
you putting your cigarette money elsewhere. Somewhere productive, not
destructive.
Before
the cost of cigarettes goes up again, buy
this booklet now; and start
investing in your life and well-being, both health-wise and
wealth-wise.
And yes, you play a
role in this enterprise. An active role. Just because you’re
willing to quit smoking for a million dollars doesn’t mean
someone’s just going to pay you to do so.
Besides, if someone
paid you a million dollars to quit smoking, you’d enjoy the health
benefits of no longer smoking as well as the material benefits of
having a million dollars, but unfortunately, more than likely, you’d
wind up worse off in the long run.
Why? Because you
didn’t create the much needed changes in your mindset. Which is why
many lottery winners wind up worse off than before they won.
Even if you don’t
struggle with addiction(s), the tips for creating wealth can help you
immensely on your road to financial freedom.
Although
this booklet doesn’t, and can’t, guarantee you’ll make a
million dollars, this booklet provides possible ways to do so. You
must plan properly and follow through to succeed. Commit; be
courageous; and take the right, wise, proper, and profitable action.
If all you want in
life is to just get by, maybe this booklet isn’t for you. At least
not yet. Buy it now, again,
before the cost of cigarettes goes up, but don’t read it,
until you’re ready and willing to make the most of your life. Maybe
merely making the purchase will be what you need to set you in the
right direction.
Breaking addictions
and building wealth aren’t easy. But then again, neither is
adopting the proper mindset. The payoff, however, is tremendous! You
improve yourself, enjoy life more fully, and help make the world a
better place. What could be better than that?
While
this booklet addresses smoking, many of the same principles may apply
to other addictions as well. So set yourself free from any habitual
indulgences that siphon away your wealth, and possibly your health, a
little at a time on a steady basis. Gradualism
gone bad.
Like finding out
you have a leaky pipe after your water bill more than doubles! Only
this “leak” is in your wallet and continues as long as you let it
do so.
No matter how much
you pay, an addiction keeps costing you more and more.
In that way,
addictions are like borrowing from loan sharks, where not only do the
payments increase; and the debt never gets paid off, the borrower
becomes physically hurt; and his/her health worsens. Dramatically.
Thus, an
addiction’s worse than debt, because most debts can be paid off.
But many addictions never get paid off. Instead, an unbridled
addiction finishes you off. Wealth-wise and health-wise. Eventually
leaving you broke and dead.
When you die, which
do you think your family will prefer? That you leave them with lots
of debt? With horrid memories of your deteriorating health? Or that
you bequeath them money and many happy memories?
By this booklet,
you’re becoming informed, and inspired. You hold the keys to your
shackles and the cell door. Will you use them? Are you courageous
enough?
Or are you too
domesticated? Too broken to even try. If so, search within yourself
to revive the eye of the tiger as the 1982 movie “Rocky
III” says, or as both Survivor
and Katy Perry sing.
Most people die
broke. As the saying goes: They spend their health chasing wealth.
And then, when they get older, they spend their wealth trying to
preserve their health. But when they don’t have much of either,
neither lasts long.
We work hard while
we’re young and able, well past our youth; and then, when we’re
old, we spend whatever money we saved to live as long as we can. But
most smokers spend their lives and their money deteriorating their
health. Then they need whatever they can get just to stay alive!
Does merely staying
alive sound nearly as fun as enjoying life?
Say
the word wealth
several times. Doesn’t wealth
sound wonderful?
To help rid
ourselves of a bad habit, we need enough motivation.
What would motivate
you to quit smoking?
- Being able to breathe freely without hacking up rancid chemicals.
- Ceasing to smell and taste like an ashtray.
- Regaining lost energy and perhaps lost dignity.
- Being able to enjoy spending time with your children or grandchildren without grossing them out and endangering their lives.
- Tasting honey.
- Smelling a rose.
- Not only should you live longer by ending a bad addiction you should also enjoy a better quality of life.
All
of these are worthwhile goals. And all of these reasons have been
available to you.
But, since you’re reading this booklet, I assume
they still haven’t been enough to convince you to quit.
So
how about this motivator?
Money!
I’d
think being able to taste your lover’s lips would be motivation
enough. Unless he/she also smokes. In which case, have him/her read
this booklet too.
And
the motivator here isn’t
just money,
but financial
freedom!
So
the big question is:
