I experience, the ups and down in my personal thought pattern when it comes to dealing with money and wealth. I hope as I go forward with this program and concept it will change. I will have the ability to attract and retain other people who think positive and attract money, but most importantly value relationships and family.

He becamr paranoid that everyone knew. He felt he wasn't treated with as much respect...he wasn't given the best table in a restaurant, it had a draft. He would make a scene. I lost a couple million dollars during the present crisis. My son asked if I was scared. I said no, that we had enough left to be okay. I am so glad that I know Jim and others, who are helping me to leatn to be more optimistic. Years ago, I watched as my father’s belief in himself boke down after he lost millions.

I am fortunate to have met Jim many years ago and today operate within my comfort level. While having lost several million dollars of my net worth due the the real estate meltdown, it has not changed my standard of living. I am healthy, my wife is healthy, my children and grandchildren are healthy. Our relationships are stong and I have many blessings for which I am thankful. The money cannot replace the health or relationships.
