Working with a coach can be a rewarding, enlightening, eye-opening experience, but many people wonder, “What can a coach do for me that I can’t do for myself?”

As long as you have an open mind, are willing to grow and stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone, and have a “gap” between where you are now and where you want to be, the benefits of working with a coach are enormous.

With a coach, you will:

1. Set goals and take specific actions to get them.
Somewhere inside yourself, you know what you really want to do. If you keep finding the way to your goals blocked, it may because you’re trying to achieve a goal that isn’t coming from your heart. One of the first things we’ll do is find out exactly what you want and need for yourself. Once you visualize your ideal life you’ll be much more likely to take the actions required to get yourself there.

2. Life a balanced, centered life.
If you want to have it all, you have to start with you. That means figuring out what you need and putting yourself first. Selfishness has gotten a bad rap over the centuries. You can’t be there for others unless you have first taken care of yourself. With a coach, you’ll learn how to be selfish and get your own needs met, yet still respond appropriately to the needs of others.

3. Discover energy you didn’t know you had.
When you’re happy, fulfilled, taking care of yourself, in tune with what you want your life to be and able to deal with problems and stressors as they come up, you’re going to feel - and look - better.

4. Live a rich, full, abundant life.
You’ll learn how to bring abundance into your life. You’ll learn that you can always reach for more of what life has to offer because you deserve it. There’s an old saying, “If more is enough, then too much is just right.” Your life will be abundant and you’ll attract more and more good things for yourself.

5. Make smarter decisions for yourself and your business or career.
Sharing ideas with a coach who respects and listens, yet won’t let you wiggle out of the hard work, will help you make clear, focused decisions. A coach has no bias or personal agenda, so you will get an honest, straightforward viewpoint.

6. Get a handle on your money once and for all.
Almost everyone has money issues. No matter what, you have to have it and you probably think you never have enough. Truth: you have more money than you think you do and a coach can help you find it and keep it.

Cracking the millionaire code is an enlightening book that gives a totally new perspective on wealth and wealth creation.

Robert Allen and Mark Victor Hansen has come up with a new system to “crack the code” which takes traditional business thinking up to a higher level.

They make a radical difference by bringing spirituality into the picture, and lift the whole idea of wealth creation into something very positive. They also bring in a new concept they call “Give and Give” instead of the traditional “Give and Take”, which is the common in business. “Give and Give” is the opposite of “Take and Take” which is the dark and greedy way of money making that nobody likes.

These guys teach something else, and what makes me buy their ideas is that they teach from their own experience.

The system of cracking the code is revolutionary, and they draw up a 101 day plan to follow.

As with any other self-help book, this one also acquires you to take action, it is not enough to read the book and expect your money problems to solve themselves.

It is a very spiritual book, and if you are open to expand your mind and embrace a new way of thinking, you will have maximum benefits from reading this book.

If you do not consider yourself a spiritual person, and find yourself to be more of a “sceptic” you still find ideas and techniques that are so obviously beneficial, that you will benefit from using them no matter what.

At one point Allen and Hansen “busts” the popular New Age myth, that the only thing you have to do is to open yourself up to receive and everything will just fall into your lap. They put it in very clear words that the process of wealth creation will need you to take action to succeed.

I was so amazed by this book, with all the new ways of looking at business and wealth creation that I finished it in just two days. I plan to read it over and over again, and to follow their system, just because of the feeling I got from reading it. The feeling was: “This book is going to be worth a million”

So my recommendation is very clear: READ IT!

The book is a very easy read and the chapters are short and to the point. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to achieve financial freedom.

I will now show you how to get this book for free: If you sign up to get a free “Greatness held hostage” cd from Mike Litman, you will be able to download this book for free, together with an audio version of the interview with Jim Rohn.

The “Greatness held hostage” cd is by it self fantastic. Mike Litman is a great motivator and is full of passion when he is sharing everything he has learned from these great people which he has interviewed.

I love listening to this cd, it gives an energy boost immediately. I warmly recommend this package. It is all for free, but you have to pay shipping and handling costs. The costs are about $6 in North America, and about $12 internationally. It is definitely worth the money!
