REASON #1 – You never act on the information you read in
self-help books.
Reading the latest book by your favourite self-help author
may be interesting, even enlightening, but it is money
wasted if you just read the book, and do nothing else.
It seems that a lot of people want to champion the fact that
they have read “hundreds” of self-help books. For all the
good it has done them, they might as well have read hundreds
of novels!
You can get something out of every self-help book you read
…if you actually do something with the information rather
than just read it. By their very nature, these books should
be treated as life “User Guides” and dipped into at regular
intervals for inspiration.
If you do read a book from cover-to-cover make sure that you
have made notes about those “Ah ha” moments that you should
have had if the book has lived up to it’s promises.
The best thing of all to do is to summarize the book
yourself…by understanding the information on your own
terms you will be more able to focus on what you can apply
in real life.
I’m a great admirer of Gary’s work and have known him for years and love his ‘down-to-Earth’ approach.
Hi,

“IF SUCCESS IS YOUR DESTINATION, YOU WILL ARRIVE THERE ON A CARRIAGE NAMED COMMITMENT PULLED BY A HORSE CALLED INTEGRITY!”
A wagon called COMMITMENT!
Create a Personal Strategic Plan!
by Gary Ryan Blair
Success is not an accident. It begins with a well-conceived plan. You can
and will achieve more in the next year than you have in the past ten with a
disciplined Personal Strategic Plan.
Personal strategic planning is a disciplined thought process, which produces
fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide who you are, where
you are going, what you do, and how, when and why you do it. All of this is
done with a focus on the future.rou
I could say I’m getting my greetings in early – but it’s way too early for that. Actually I was looking around for some Christmas designs when I cam across this one I did a few years ago. I can’t remember how many – but look at the old monitor on my desk, it was one of those that went back about three feet and weighed a ton! Anyway I thought it was worth showing again along with all my ‘staff’ members!
I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the ‘STAFF’ at the Cartoon Studio!
Merry Christmas from all the ‘STAFF’ at the Cartoon Studio!

‘Hi,
Here’s another page from the book written by Peter Sinclair and illustrated by yours truly!
————————————————————————
‘I will embrace my liberty to commit to my own dreams
and because of this I will know TRUE FREEDOM.’
Freedom is your human right. You were not created to be imprisoned.
You were created to roam free. Free as a bird, knowing no limits.
No mountain is too high. No sea is too wide. Your future is awaiting you,
so what are you going to do about it? For you are an individual with
incredible talent. Your life is just one colour of humanities rainbow.
So go ahead and splash the world’s canvas with your brush. The world
is waiting to hear your voice, to see your contribution and to experience
the beat of your heart and the liberty of your life.
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
