Jack Canfield posted the following quote on his Facebook page today:
“For virtually everything that you want to do there are books and courses on how to do it.”
Jack Canfield is the best-selling co-creator of the Chick Soup Series and he’s the author my all-time favorite self-improvement book: The Success Principles.
Canfield has been a strong influence in my life. I’ve read many of his books, listened to his courses on audio, and have watched him speak on DVDs. He is on my list of must-meet people, too. I’ve enjoyed Canfield in The Aladdin Factor (book and audio), Dare to Dream (book), The Secret (DVD and book), and many, many others.
Canfield is also a West Virginian. He grew up in the small town of Wheeling, West Virginia. As you already know, West Virginia is often behind the rest of the nation in rankings. If a Canfield can become a world-record holder for having the most books on the New York Times Best-selling List and he’s from West Virginia – Then a person from anywhere can get almost anything they want, too.
Canfield made it clear in his quote: “There are books and courses on how to do it.”
I take the same approach to success. In my recent book, “Discover Hidden Secret Wisdom,” I encourage people to become lifelong readers and learners. “Read to succeed and become great at anything” is the common motto in my book. In fact, it isn’t about the book. It is about the mission to promote literacy and reading. Portion of the funds from my book, “Discover Hidden Secret Wisdom: how to become great at anything” is donated to the non-profit, First Book. They provide free books to children in need – addressing one of the biggest factors for literacy: access to age-appropriate books.
Here is my web-page that is dedicated to Jack Canfield:
