Why read "The Slight Edge"?

Up until about 2 years ago, I'll be honest I rarely read a book and if I did it was on holiday and was usually a novel. But over the past 2 years, prompted by Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret" I began exploring the concept of the law of attraction and examining my behaviours, decisions in life, limiting thoughts and beliefs and basically began a journey of personal development. This journey has included great authors such as Wayne Dyer, Joe Vitale, John Milton Fogg, Neale Donald Walsch, Zig Ziglar, Robert Kiyosaki, Dr Tom Barrett, Napoleon Hill and one of my most favourites...Jim Rohn who sadly died this week.

I have learnt something from every single book I have read and every CD I have listened to but I was recently recommended to read a book which I truly believe has changed my life. "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson is for me the missing link....it has brought together all the gems I have gleaned over the past two years...I feel like a lightbulb has finally come on in my head.

So what is the book about? Well, Jeff Olson says it's about how to achieve success in all aspects of life. It's about philosophy and attitude. Before you groan and say not another book claiming to turn us into an overnight success with positive thinking ...no, this book is refreshingly different. It's full of common sense and practical strategies that I have already put to work in building my internet business. It's about working consistently, doing the little things that others don't do, it's about making mistakes and understanding the importance of time. It's so full of wisdom and fantastic messages that I highlighted certain phrases and points so I can re-read them whenever I get a few spare minutes. This is the book I wish I'd found years ago, the book that really should be read before any of the others. As the author puts it "whatever pictures you want to create in your life, 'The Slight Edge' is the brush and the paint". And once you've got the brush and paint ...what's stopping you .....?
