Women and Money by Suze Orman

On today's Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah's guest was Suze Orman. They discussed Suze's Save Yourself Plan. Every woman needs to take care of herself first. To have a plan and the finances to face any situation. The plan is detailed in Suze's book, Women and Money .

The book is available to download for free. BUT, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE eBOOK IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. The deadline on the website is 8:00 pm ET, June 27, 2008. But, I think Oprah said 5:00 pm ET, June 28th. Either way, don't delay.

The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

I ran across this list from Norman Vincent Peale. It was published in the St. Albert the Great Church bulletin on June 22, 2008. And it reminded me of his book: The Power of Positive Thinking.

Ten Guidelines for Dealing with People

1. Learn to remember names. A person's name is very important to him or her.
2. Be a comfortable person so there is not strain in being around you.
3. Learn to be easygoing so things won't bother you.
4. Don't be egotistical; don't give the impression that you know it all.
5. Learn to be interesting so people will want to be with you and get something stimulating from you.
6. Get the "scratchy" elements out of your personality.
7. Drain off your grievances. Honestly try to heal every misunderstanding you have.
8. Work at liking people until you learn to do so naturally. Sure, everyone has faults; overlook them.
9. Never miss a chance to say "congratulations" or to give support at a difficult time.
10. Develop a spiritual depth in yourself so you have something to pass on to the people you know. Learn how to share this strength with others. Learn how to share this strength with others.

Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series

I started watching Planet Earth as it aired on TV. I was fascinated with all the animals and places that I've never seen in person. I now have a new respect for nature and survival of the fittest. The landscapes were breathtaking - Everything from the mountains, to the deserts to the ocean. Planet Earth is timeless and a good addition to a DVD library.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich in 1937. It's still widely read today and highly recommended for network marketers. I first read Think and Grow Rich in 1997, shortly after starting my networking career.

Thinking back on it now, there are similarities to The Secret. I guess everything old is new again - Or maybe Napoleon Hill's ideas never went out of style.

Napoleon Hill dedicates a chapter to "the power of definite desire" and creating a plan to achieve it. He writes, "The object of this book is to help all who seek it, to learn the art of changing their minds from FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS to SUCCESS CONSCIOUSNESS."

There's no magic here. People who have a dream and turn it into a goal, can achieve amazing things.

Harmonic Wealth by James Arthur Ray

James Arthur Ray is a dynamic speaker. I attended one of his seminars a while back with at least 1,000 other people. The hotel meeting room was packed. And we all sat mesmerized for a couple hours. I've never been in the presence of so many like-minded people. Visit his website for the free seminar and teleconference schedule.

James Arthur Ray is a philosopher and one of the teachers with The Secret. He's been a guest on The Oprah Show and Larry King Live.



Harmonic Wealth was recently released and it's quickly becoming a best seller. Don't miss it.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a classic. I've read the book a few times and listened to the audio version several times. I hear new things each time. Maybe it's because I hear the things that apply at the time. The habits are universal principals that Stephen R. Covey brings to life.

The 7 Habits are . . .
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win/Win
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw

This book is recommended for anyone looking for personal growth.
