Each year I set some pretty impressive goals for myself. One year I said I was going to learn how to speak Italian. Just last year I said I was going to get in the best shape of my life. And this year I said I was going to write a book.
Have I accomplished any of these things? Nope.
But, there’s hope for me yet.
I received a copy of Tom Terwilliger’s book, 7 Rules of Achievement last week and I have to say that in the 5 chapters I’ve read so far it has me fired up. My wheels are spinning and let’s just say two of my unfinished goals are now in motion!
Tom’s book is the blueprint for helping you put your vision into action. I’ve already learned how to (key word–>) properly identify and set goals for some of my most ambitious dreams.
Why is Tom Terwilliger qualified to write a book about achievement? For starters, Tom is the poster boy for fitness and healthy living, he is an author, professional speaker, and former Mr. America (swoon!) and longtime Fox Sports Net fitness TV show host.
Not to mention, Tom is one of the good guys. His contributions have been recognized by the American Heart Association, New York Games for the Physically Challenged, Colorado Special Olympics, Fetal Hope Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes association and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
In fact, Tom’s book, 7 Rules of Achievement launches today and proceeds from today’s sales will benefit Habitat for Humanity. How great is that!?
If you’re interested in learning more about this book, check it out on Amazon, read the intro, and see if it’s a book that might help you light a fire under your arsenal of dreams, too.
Now I really must go to the gym and then finish reading my terms of achievement, arrivederci!

May 12th 2010Thank you for recommending this book. I have a few of these types of books that I’ll be pulling off my shelf in the next week and could always use another one.

May 12th 2010Ciao, Bella! I meant you and not your dog -hee hee ;)
This looks like a book that I NEED! Thanks for sharing :) I have wanted to learn Italian for years, too. Especially considering my parents and Grandmother speak it, but NEVER taught me (that whole “we are in America” thing). It makes me sad :(

May 12th 2010Sounds like a good one! I Just went to the library and picked up a new reading list. It sounds like this one deserves to be on there :) Oh, and if you wrote a book, I would read it!

Am adding this one to my wishlist, thanks. And I agree with the commenter above – I’d read your book too.
