INTRODUCTION

We are living in a remarkable time. I can have a question in my head, type it into my favorite internet search engine, and get the answer in a matter of seconds! What time is it in Shanghai? How many pounds are in a microgram? Who was the tenth president of the United States? How do I get from Sterling Heights, Michigan to Fargo, North Dakota? Type it in and BAM… you get the answer!

But still… there are some questions that the internet cannot answer for you. Anything from your spouse asking you What do you want to do tonight? to What do you want out of life? When you were a child, What do you want to be when you grow up? was a fun and exciting question. As an adult, this question can be nerve-racking, disappointing and downright frightening!

Here is another scary situation: what is the right answer for me? Where do I start? Here is where I hope to assist you in this process. I have been researching and testing theories on this topic for over ten years. If you don’t find the answer in this book, I should at least be able to steer you in the right direction. There are a lot of REMARKABLE minds referenced in this book, and I am honored to integrate my approach with these professionals.

The pre-requisite to using the Be FREE approach to get what you want out of life is to first KNOW what you want out of life! This took me quite a while to figure out for myself. To be happy is to wake up in the morning with the feeling that you have a mission in the world that no one else can perform.¹ Don’t panic if you don’t know your mission yet… I plan to do my best to help you with this as well. The good news for you is that my purpose in life can be summed up in the following statement:

To increase the realization of human potential.

Real pain comes from not achieving your potential.² I started with MY potential… and now I want to focus on YOUR potential. I am excited to share with you my 20 years of research and personal experiences as an engineer, fitness trainer, youth soccer coach, certified instructor and continuous improvement expert for a global company.

Along with my Be FREE methodology, I have also learned, taught and implemented several efficiency tools in the manufacturing industry that have GREAT value in the home. Why are they not already being used in households then? There are two main reasons. The first is that experts in this arena are too expensive for the average family to hire. The other is that if you try to do a self study on these tools, and implement them yourself, they may not work. Then what? Since there is not a lot of data on using these tools in the home, there is not a lot of troubleshooting advice out there either. I DO have some of this experience, and I will share it with you later in this book.

I also have an Engineering background, so I am big on fact-based, scientific methods, and not wishful thinking. The ideas in this book, such as dreaming big and visualization are essential parts of the Be FREE approach based on scientific FACT. Don’t believe my prowess as a great scientific mind? How about this quote: Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Who said it? Albert Einstein³. Now there is a scientist with some street cred!

My final opening remark (I feel like I am on trial) has to do with the mindset of people as they experience various outcomes in the processes they deal with on a daily basis. W. Edwards Deming stated it well when he said, the problem is not in bad people, it’s in bad processes, bad structures and systems.⁴ People blame other people for process outcomes. People disrespect other people due to negative process outcomes. People get frustrated, and de-motivated, by how others react to their involvement in a process. STOP it, people! People are human beings and processes are things. Processes are what people use as a tool to achieve everything they want. Processes are for us to master. So people UNITE to perfect the processes that serve us. My point (my case) is that we are only on this earth for a short time, and should work together, not waste our time blaming each other and becoming slaves to the insufficient processes we have put in place. Your honor… I rest my case!

To simplify how you can use this book, I have created some short-cuts, visual indicators and worksheets/diagrams.

First, the primary short-cut is the Quick Start Guide. If you want the basics that can get you started today, go here.

Next, I have tried to keep the charts and figures in this book very basic to allow you to easily replicate them. Please feel free to spruce them up based on your own personal preference.

Finally, through this book you will see the following symbol:

Take a quick read of each of these highlighted sentences to get an idea of which sections might intrigue you more than others. I encourage you to read the whole book, but it is also set up to be able to skip around.

I am excited for you to start going after the achievement of your goals in a new way! As Thomas Edison once said, If we did everything we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.⁵ Ready to get started? Time to Be FREE!
