***Make 2014 the Year When Everything Falls Into Place

Are you prepared to turn life's obstacles into opportunities--and to make those opportunities your own?

Will 2014 be the year when everything falls into place--just the way you visualized it?

Do you have a blueprint to get from where you are now to where you want to be in life?

If you are like many of us, you spend countless hours coaching and encouraging others to develop the skills to clarify, set and achieve their goals.

But, what about YOU? How often do YOU take the time to focus on YOUR hopes and dreams, aspirations and goals? The best way to make certain that you are satisfied and productive in your life and career is to check in with yourself once in a while to identify what you are most passionate about.

True dreams are hard to follow, and achieving them is not always easy. They don't just fall into your lap. You have ti nurture them. You have to work hard to give them a chance to thrive. You have to persevere against what may--at first glance--appear to be insurmountable obstacles, roadblocks and detours. But if you believe in yourself, if you believe in your dreams--and if you are willing to take an honest look at yourself and take 100% responsibility for your life, then we guarantee that your dreams will come true.

We practice what we preach. We are living, breathing proof that dreams DO come true. We are not superheroes. We don't possess any superhuman powers. We are just a couple of ordinary guys who have found the key to living into our dreams and to get what we want in life. Our achievements illustrate the fact that even the most ordinary people CAN achieve extraordinary things in life--IF you have the courage to change, are able to recognize and seize the opportunities that are right in front of you every day, and persevere until you reach your goal--no matter the obstacles. Full speed ahead. Emergency brake off. Speed bumps and all.

As the saying goes, "when one door closes, a window opens." The key is recognizing the challenge of that closed door as an opportunity to look through then open window and look out onto a bright, new future.

When we met five years ago, we each had our own, successful businesses. But, we made an instinctive connection--although at the time, we didn't know why the Universe had brought us together. We became friends and professional colleagues--Tom saw Jared every week for a massage, and Jared turned to Tom for success coaching. Perhaps more important, though, we became running buddies. Jared is a life-long runner. At age 57, Tom had never run a mile in his life. But Jared coached Tom, helping him find his "inner runner." And, hard as it may seem to believe, exactly three years after Tom's first, tentative run, he competed in the 2013 Boston Marathon!

It was during an early morning run that the concept for our joint business--which combines Tom's work with guided visualization with Jared's re-energizing massage. It was also during one of those early morning runs that the concept for our book was developed. If Tom, especially, had not had the courage to try something new--to stretch beyond what he thought was his "natural ability"--we would not have achieved all that we have in the past three years. And we have never looked back!

Vincent Van Gogh said, "I dream my painting, then I paint my dream." In order to get what you want in life, you have to know what you want. We are continually presented with great opportunities disguised as insurmountable problems. Opportunities may not always seem perfect. But if you don't take them--and make them your own--you may never get a second chance.

Take time every day to focus on the things that are important to you. Spend the time necessary to REALLY clarify your goals and what it will take to achieve them. You may think that it's selfish to think about ourselves--putting our own dreams on hold to help someone else achieve theirs. But, if we don't nourish our souls, we are not able to help anyone else. Think of it this way--when you are on a plane, preparing for takeoff and the flight attendant is doing the safety drill--what are you told to do if the oxygen mask drops down? You put it on yourself first. Then, you help the person sitting next to you. If you don't have the life-sustaining flow of oxygen going into your lungs, you cannot help anyone else on that plane.

If you are still searching for your dream, don't give up. maybe you don't have all the answers right now. maybe it seems like too much of a quest. Feel the inspiration that we have felt during those early morning runs. Take the chance. Never let anyone say that you didn't try. If there is something you have always wanted to do--DO IT! Step out on faith--and we mean deep water faith. What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't work out exactly as planned...maybe there is a different, even bigger plan for you.

Learn from the turtle--it only makes progress when it sticks its neck out.

That is our philosophy. We share a passion for helping people achieve more healthy, balanced and fulfilling lives. It is why the Universe brought us together!

Have the courage to follow your heart. We guarantee that you WILL find your dream in that place where your mind meets your heart and your soul.

Make 2014 the year when you achieve your best, most successful self!
