Principles are tremendously important tools we can use in our lives to affect change. A principle is an eternal truth. It can be applied across all circumstances, all times, all places, and it is still true. I try to share principles with those I work and interact with each day, including you. These principles aren’t just my opinion. They are truths that I’ve discovered through careful study of other successful people (and by successful I don’t just mean wealthy), and through applying them to my life and work.
It wasn’t too long ago that I found myself in a similar position to many of you. I was working 60, 70, even 80-hour weeks, and still living paycheck to paycheck. I realized that I wasn’t happy. I enjoyed appraising, but I knew something needed to change if I wanted to keep doing it. That’s when we got rid of our T.V. and I started studying. I studied the founding fathers; I studied people before them and people after them – Carneigie, Firestone, and many others. I wanted to know not just what helped them make money, but what helped them find success in relationships, in personal fulfilment.
I came out of my study with a list of 12 principles of prosperity. Since my initial study, my list has changed a little bit. However, these principles don’t change. Instead, I discover them and make new connections. My understanding is constantly growing. In 3 years from the time I started my study, my life had completely changed. I was working 40 hours a week or less, and my income had grown exponentially. More importantly, I now feel better about myself and my life, and my relationships have improved dramatically. You, too, can experience this change, as you learn and apply the principles of prosperity.
