Maybe you are like I was, somewhere in between a little confused to completely
in the dark about what I wanted to do with my life. And, if I did figure that out…
how I was going to pull it off? I really wanted to be successful, to contribute, to
be respected, to be secure, and to have financial freedom. But I didn’t know how.
The rules for doing so didn’t work for me. Good grades, college, a family business
or career counseling. Instead, I was fortunate to hook up with some people who
had powerful alternatives, and given my history, I was fortunate to finally listen to
them…the results have been staggering.
I had to hear this information a lot of different ways before I heard it in a way that
I got it. I expect that when you study the flow of these secrets, you will get it too.
Then, all you have to do is hold on.
—Richard Brooke
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a
mighty one. That is being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of
ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making
you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I
live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I
rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid
torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly
as possible before handing it on to future generations.
—George Bernard Shaw

A t the pinnacle of his success, Kurt Robb was suddenly and tragically
killed in the rugged surf of Hawaii. Jeannie was with him. It was
their first success-spurred, “no expense spared” vacation.
While Kurt was alive and training me, I never implemented anything he
taught me. I was “getting trained,” “working on it,” and “preparing.”
When I first heard of his death I reacted by quitting—feeling that without
him always there to help me get ready, I couldn’t go on. Hours after
quitting, I realized that my reaction was a cowardly dishonoring of Kurt’s
gift, and that I could only honor his contribution by becoming, from that
moment on, a source for others. No longer could I be “getting ready.”
I had to implement and teach others to do the same.
So much of what the great athletes do to accomplish the impossible is done through
visualization. Mach II captures exactly how it works; why it works; and how anyone
