INTRODUCTION

- Why I wrote this book

Or, The 1,5 year miracle

For 50 years I did what most people do. I earned my income, tried to make ends meet.

I considered myself happy and a positive guy. And I had always been interested in studying materials in the area of personal development - the mental side of myself and of people.

So, I was getting along, but I started to get a feeling that I was keeping myself within a box. I realized something had to change, but I must admit I didn´t really see HOW.

And suddenly, as I was sitting there on the train, listening to the CDs, I became CONVINCED of a massive financial boost in the close future – without knowing from where this would come. (That is part of the technique, which I also describe in this book, which is not to get so focused on the HOW, because you
