Infos

Prosperity is often associated with your financial wellbeing, but it's so much more than that. Money is a tool to unlock freedom in your life, but it's not capable of giving you fulfillment in the long-term. If you chase money, there's a chance you could lose your relationships or end up with a job you absolutely hate. Ethan Willis and Randy Garn have seen this play out time after time with clients who've lost sight of their guiding inner light-that Polaris Point-or who've never taken the time to establish one in the first place. In Prosper, Ethan and Randy lay out six practices that will guide you to your Polaris Point and lead you down the path to true prosperity. This step-by-step guide shows you how to create the life you really want, one where you've achieved balance between making money, doing what you love, and ensuring it's sustainable. By following the steps in Prosper, you'll not only discover what you were put on this earth to do-you'll receive specific guidance on how to create lasting change in your life.

Textauszug

Preface

There is a reason you are reading this book. There is some part of prosperity that you are seeking. It is our greatest desire to help you discover exactly what you are after.

With this book, we intend to do more than help you understand the nature of prosperity. We intend for you to become more prosperous.

Prosperity is a fundamental desire of all human beings. Most people pursue it, but few achieve it. Of those who do, fewer seem to sustain it. We believe that prosperity is something available for everyone who is willing to put forth the effort and make it happen, and as you read on, we will prove it to you.

We know that it is possible for people to have a life that balances the pursuit of prosperity with great joy. It’s not easy, but it’s not as hard as you may think it is. We have assisted thousands of people whose experiences and circumstances are similar to yours, who had the same desire as you to achieve long-lasting, sustainable prosperity.

Some people did it by creating new businesses that allowed them to make money doing the things they are passionate about. Others worked within their companies to carve out lives of balance, meaning, and increased compensation. Some finally came to understand what they are really good at, then expanded their talents to create new careers and more opportunities. Still others learned new expertise, which made it possible to reinvent themselves in areas they had tremendous passion for.

Who Are We to Tell You about Prosperity?

We are two individuals who have devoted our lives to helping others create prosperity on their own terms.

Since we founded a company called Prosper in 1999, and through our work at Growth and Hero CEO Club and other companies, we have coached and trained over one hundred thousand people of all ages in eighty different countries to become more successful in their careers, establish businesses, and achieve long-term prosperity for themselves and their families. Helping people prosper is our company’s mission statement and gives us our greatest sense of achievement.

With our combined backgrounds, we bring a unique perspective to the topic of prosperity, informed not only by our own success and lives; we have also learned, studied, taught, and trained with some of the best on this topic. We have a deep desire to help people understand what prosperity really means to them and how to achieve it.

Who Will Benefit from Reading This Book?

We wrote Prosper for people who are interested in creating a prosperity that will help them find balance and harmony between money and happiness. Everyone committed to improving some aspect of their lives will find value in these pages. You will come to understand that true prosperity can only come if you are walking the path that drives the most comprehensive balance in your life aligned with what you believe you were destined to accomplish. We hope you will find your True North or Polaris Point.

When we wrote this book, we specifically thought of several categories of interests we wanted this book to serve.

Personal Development

You realize that prosperity depends on you. You are ready to challenge some of the limiting beliefs, attitudes, or habits that have kept you from realizing your dreams, and you recognize that one-on-one coaching or additional support may be the answer. Have you discovered and tapped into your full potential? Are you firmly convinced that there is more to life than what you’ve already experienced? Are you looking to find more happiness, fulfillment, and success? You want to take control of your life, embrace the positive, and accomplish what’s most important to you.

Entrepreneurship

Your dream is to start and grow your own business in an area that you feel passionate about. Perhaps you are interested in making a living at doing what you love. Or maybe you have an idea for a new product and want to learn how to bring it to market. Passionate people have long embraced the entrepreneurial spirit. The most exciting business opportunities revolve around the power of the internet, and you want to master such disciplines as social media, online auctions, search engine optimization, and internet marketing.

Career Development

You are currently employed and want to increase your value to the organization. You have made a significant investment in your current organization, and the organization has made a significant investment in you. You want to leverage that investment to recognize or create new opportunities for advancement and promotion.

Personal Finance and Investing

You have an interest in helping yourself, and other people achieve their financial dreams, or you have a desire to effectively manage your personal finances and investments. You want to make money work for you, save for a comfortable retirement, eliminate your debts, and build your own financial future. For those interested in specific areas of personal finance and investing, you may want to pursue prosperity opportunities in the stock market, real estate investing, or investing in others’ companies.

How to Prosper by Reading This Book

Simply put, we want you to prosper. To do that, there needs to be an agreement between the authors and reader. This book can be a powerful instrument for change, and it starts with what you’re doing right now. But reading, by itself, is unlikely to ensure sustainable prosperity. Prosperity is not achieved by reflection alone. We believe that if this book is to have meaningful impact on your pursuit of prosperity, you have to put what you learn into action. We want you to dive into this book, mark it up, make notes in it, share it with someone you feel would benefit from it, and then read it again.

Prosper is an action guide to get you the life you really want. We wrote this book because we have created a process that has been the catalyst for many people just like you to achieve their dreams. This book offers proven strategies, tools, exercises, and insights that have helped thousands of people create prosperity, and we believe it can do the same for you.

Progress stems from reflection followed by profound action. That’s why the conclusion of each chapter features a section we call “Prosperity Steps,” where we offer exercises intended to help you understand the principles, then take action. All we ask of you is what we ask of our students: give each step a try. Each exercise is based on actions that our students have reported to be useful. The more energy you invest in completing the Prosperity Steps at the end of each chapter, the more likely you are to benefit from our book.

You can find most of the Prosperity Steps, as well as some exercises that are not in the book, on our website at ProsperBook.com. We are continually adding more prosperity resources online—we invite you to visit!

Six Prosperity Practices

Think of someone you know who is prosperous. What is that person like? We bet there are certain habits or practices that this person abides by. In this book, we will describe six Prosperity Practices that ignite the fire that is necessary to generate the commitment, energy, and courage to produce lasting prosperity. These practices are also, by necessity, a springboard to personal change through an understanding that prosperity is an internal journey—it requires from you the clarity to know what you really value and to have the courage to pursue it.

The six practices flow from a careful study of thousands of our most successful coaching experiences, comprising over five million hours of coaching and training observation. At the same time, we were reaching out to a range of our most advanced students, CEOs, and business leaders to evaluate how their prosperity looks now, years after they began working with us. What emerged from our survey astounded us. The six Prosperity Practices predicted which students rose to the top and thrived in challenging environments. The students who followed these practices tended to be successful. In contrast, the outcomes for the students who had never quite mastered the practices tended to be unsatisfactory—or even if they achieved a measure of success, it was fleeting.

The main section of this book devotes a chapter to each practice. In brief, the Prosperity Practices are:

Practice 1: Locate Your Polaris Point

Everyone’s Polaris Point is unique. It’s your envisioned future and your soul’s True North: what you aspire to become, to achieve, to contribute, to create. It also includes the role money will play in those aspirations. A true Polaris Point is clear and compelling without being overly restrictive. It serves as a unifying focal point for your ongoing efforts, a goal that inspires creativity, and a catalyst for profound action.

Practice 2: Live in Your Prosperity Zone

When your earnings are aligned with your Polaris Point, we say you are living in the Prosperity Zone. There’s no prosperity in having a Polaris Point that your earnings cannot support. At the same time, there’s no prosperity if your earnings overwhelm your Polaris Point. You are living in your Prosperity Zone when your Polaris Point and earnings are in harmony. This allows for sustainable prosperity.

Practice 3: Earn from Your Core

Sustainable prosperity flows from your unique talents and abilities. Make an inventory of what really motivates you. What do you do that feels more like play than work? The more you leverage the energy...
