This Lit a Fire Under Me Like Never Before!

Every now and again I get an email from someone who has read my book or who has heard me speak either for AMI or EET and it touches my heart. And sometimes I get emails at the right time when I needed to hear them the most to make me realize why I do what I do. Why all of the sacrifice, hard work, and lack of sleep is all worth it.

Yesterday, I was blessed enough to get an unexpected email that truly re-ignited my burning desire to make 2010 the most Awesome Year ever. (Remember, you never know who's life you can impact at any time)

I'd like to share it with you because I believe we as a society we get really happy to share negative things (like all of the Tiger Woods jokes that are going around) and not so much to highlight the positive things that happen every day.

Lets stay positive and stay hungry and stay focused on what really matters the most in life. For me, I want to focus on leaving a positive legacy in this world. With every presentation, every book, every moment I want to spread an uncontrollable message of hope and belief in Self to make a better world.

Thank you to everyone that feels the same.

Here is the email in its entirety:


Hi Arel,

You probably won't remember me, as you met me very briefly in Sacramento at the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour event near Fry's (I was the last one that you signed the book for at the end of the day). Nevertheless, I wanted to take the time to thank you for writing your book as it was exactly what I needed at the time.

More specifically, your chapter on building "unstoppable self-confidence" really hit home for me. I am currently in the process of building my own book of business (I am an Investment Advisor), and was going through a pretty severe self-doubting and gloomy period. After reading that chapter in your book, I realized I was attaching my self-worth to bringing in money for my family. Right now my wife is the breadwinner supporting my entrepreneurial endeavors, and since I'm not bringing in money, I felt like a failure. You helped me realized that was a completely false way of perceiving the situation. You said, "the secret to self-confidence is attaching your worth to something that never changes."

That hit me like a rock between the eyes. So simple, yet so profound. I haven't thought about spirituality for a LONG time, but that reminded me of the grander expanse of things. We are merely a grain of sand on an endless beach of a tiny rock in a pinpoint galaxy floating in an infinite cosmos. Strange how thinking of the vast calms the present. I now attach my self-worth to a "changeless change, " that is at the root of spirituality for me. So, thank you for that reminder. I really appreciate it. I have regained my confidence, and have a sense that everything will work out - one way or another.

I wish you the best in all that you do and strive towards. May you always find serenity, laughter, and happiness all the days of your life.

Thank you, once again,
Kipp

A Surprising Goal I Want You In On...

I have been doing a lot of thinking over the last 3 weeks since I found out about the passing of my grandmother and thinking about the things that are and have been really important to me and the dreams I've had since childhood.

One of my dreams will be coming true very soon. I will be publishing my first book very soon called Your Starting Point For Student Success which my mission of the book is to give entering college freshman a guide to the introduction of personal development which unfortunately is something not taught at most colleges and universities.

However coming out with the book is only one part of the that dream, the other part is getting it into the hands of the people who need it most. I want this to be a book that parents give their children who are graduating from High School this year to set them on the right course in college, I want mentors who have proteges in college to give this book to them to truly help them succeed in school and in life.

This book is short and easy to read because I understand most students don't like reading GARGANTUAN size books but don't let the size of the book take away from the impact it will have. Iit delivers the first 5 most important principles to living a truly successful life inside and outside of the classroom.

In this book, students will discover:


1. The most important key to creating success in your life now

2. The real secret to creating unstoppable self-confidence

3. The simple yet effective technique to help students get more done in less time

4. The one thing that drives all of our actions and how to properly understand it

5. The crucial environment factor you must control to guarantee your continued success



#1 NY Times Bestselling Author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker, said
"Arel’s principles are simple yet extremely effective. His book will show you how to create success in your life where and when it really counts.”


So the reason I wrote this note is to share a dream with you that I have because I know that is the only way a dream comes true, sharing it with as many people that you care about as possible. I want to get this book into the hands of as many students as possible this summer.

To do this I am going to start releasing excerpts of the book until it's release date on amazon.com in hopes that individuals like yourself will see this and realize the life changing power a book of this nature could have a on young student's mind.

I hope you will join me on this journey, only if you think the principles of this book will be beneficial to someone you care about. I remember when I was a student trying to find my way and I was trying to figure out what was the very first book I should read, what was that very first book to start my journey with and there really wasn't one, until now.

So keep a look out and please join me on this mission to make the lives of students better one page at a time!
