determine what you may hope to expect and whether the book
is worth reading at all.
This is a book.
Yes, that is correct. It is not a miracle machine; and you
will not instantly become a successful entrepreneur, just by reading
it. This book contains knowledge and very little else and until you
put the knowledge to work it will remain just a book.
This is a book about how to use proven goal-setting
principles in tandem with sound Christian teachings to achieve life
and financial goals. It contains material from my personal
experience, success stories of other individuals around the world
and also Biblical notes. Regardless, my life encounters are
specifically mine and what has worked for me may not work for

you. It is my wish that you eventually look up and not to my
experience. That is the reason for this book: guiding you to create a
secular occupation that is powered from up above. I offer this book
merely as a guide to assist you to navigate your way through some
of the rough channels of life especially those concerned with the
basic task of finding your purpose and place in the economy of
God.
I have been there.
Maybe you are at this moment thinking you have seen so
much hardship in your life and you are thinking - it is okay for him
to write books; he doesn’t know what I am going through. ; think
again. I can tell you right now how wrong you are. I have passed
through it before. This book is therefore also my testimony
This book is about rising to reclaim your place and purpose
in life. It is a small book, not quite so filled with pages of action
points and motivational jargon such as you have probably read in a
dozen places and you are fed up with them. Read it quickly at first
just to enjoy it; then come back read it all over again, much slower
this time – to apply it.
What you do is what you get.
This book will have no more impact on you than you
permit it. What this means is that if you are happy enough with
your life, this book may be of no use to you. However, if you are in
earnest search for measurable goals, progress and achievements in

SUMMARY
This is a small book. You have probably read similar, most of
which at the last page makes you too weary even to put the
instructions into action. That is why I have made it small. I will
further make it smaller by summarizing the content into a couple
of pages so that you can easily determine what sections you want
to go back to re-read, to get yourself going.
Chapter 1
How do you know whether your life is on course or
not? It is often quite easy to find out if you know
the tell-tale signs. Give your life an audit.
Chapter 2
If you are convinced that you are going wrong in
life, it is necessary to do rid yourself of the pains.
Examine all your bad decisions, influences, and
quantifiable failures. Decide to forgive yourself.
Chapter 3
Many of those things and persons that you had
previously relied on are nothing but unnecessary
props. Resolve to get rid of them.
Chapter 4
Begin to build up your spirit by speaking good
things to and about yourself. Set a purposeful goal
and make plans on how to actualize it.
Chapter 5
Take inventory of your skills. Decide which ones
you will need to actualize your goal and what new
skill you will need to learn.
