What is the reason for this book? I never wanted to write one but I believe all through our lives we feel like we should do something but we never follow through and then we say to ourselves, gee I wish I did that, bought that, sold that, didn’t do that. So I followed through with what I felt I should do and it doesn’t matter about the end result. If you don’t take the first step, forget about the second. If you just read this I believe it will speak to you. The other reason I wrote this book is to get people to use the brain they were given and the use of wisdom and common sense.
