"Much of what we are taught about prosperity and how we achieve it is just plain wrong", write Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Prosper Inc., Ethan Willis; and Chief Relations Officer and Co-Founder of Prosper Inc., Randy Garn, in their wisdom filled and very practical book Prosper: Create the Life You Really Want. The authors describe the long term value and joy of creating a path to prosperity that is harmony with the individual's own most important and treasured goals, vision, and aspirations.
Ethan Willis (photo left) and Randy Garn understand that true prosperity is not only about money but also includes happiness in equal measure. The authors point out that while people have chased prosperity since the beginning of time, very few people have ever achieved true prosperity. Of those who did find prosperity, many found that state of being as very difficult to sustain, and the sense of prosperity was often lost for them. The author believe that real and sustainable prosperity is available and attainable by anyone. While they are careful to caution readers that some real effort is involved, the results are definitely worth the time and work put into the process. The authors share their proven techniques and practices, that work toward the ultimate goal of true prosperity, and maintain that balance of money and happiness over the long term as well.
Randy Garn (photo left) and Ethan Willis recognize and emphasize the critical importance of a person recognizing for themselves, what their vision of prosperity looks like, and focusing on that image. The outline must be clear to the individual, as a hazy and ill defined vision will not result in the desired level of prosperity. The more clarity to the vision, write the authors, the better for achieving it.
To guide people toward achieving a sustainable prosperity that is right for them, the authors share their six practices for reaching the balanced prosperity goals of money and happiness. The Six Prosperity Practices™ are as follows:
* Find your personal Polaris Point™
* Balance money and happiness
* Earn form the inside out
* Focus on what you already have
* Create and commit to a plan
* Take profound, continuous action
For me, the power of the book is how Ethan Willis and Randy Garn combine their theory and philosophy of prosperity, with their proven techniques and practices for achieving true and sustainable prosperity. The authors present a positive approach to prosperity, that is based on a person's deepest goals and aspirations. The vision of prosperity will vary widely from person to person, but the authors point out that process of reaching that vision is applicable to everyone. The authors enhance their Six Prosperity Practices™ with actual case studies, of the principles in action, to illustrate each point. Overall, the authors provide a system that anyone can adopt, practice, and achieve results provided that the person commits to the program.
I highly recommend the life transforming book Prosper: Create the Life You Really Want by Ethan Willis and Randy Garn, to anyone seeking a practical and realistic approach to achieving and sustaining prosperity in their own lives. This book offers the steps and the process. It's only up to the individual to clarify their goals and commit to work through the process to achieve them.
