FROM THE AUTHOR

Afterword
Thank you for reading this book.
Please be advised that this is not an ordinary story.
The real story isn’t in the story.
The real story is a magical story behind the story, waiting to be revealed. That means it only comes out to play in a repeat reading. Whether that’s in the fifth reading or the fifteenth reading is up to you.

The real story is waiting, holding out the keys to your own personal wealth.
If you have not yet discovered the real story in this book, are you ready to settle for that? Or are you ready to work harder?

We settle for our standards.
Is your standard the glass full that you receive from the first few times you read this story, the first few times you discuss it, or will you only settle for the ocean?

Each time you read this story, your clarity and your focus will increase. What you see is always what you get.

As you see more, you will get more.
Eventually, as your level increases, you will get the ocean. Water will always find its level.

If you want more than simply a glass full, the answer comes in thinking it and inking it. If you already know that to know and not to do is not yet to know, then where is your pen?
What have you been inking? What have you been doing?

If you want more clarity, then ask better questions.
Question your assumptions.
What does each advisor have in common other than the obvious? What is your definition of wealth?

Why is their sequence important to wealth creation and why is their sequence not necessarily in the right order? What is the right order?

What was the Optometrist’s vision?
If the real story isn’t the story, what is the real story? If what you see is what you get, what are you still not seeing?

What doors are you not opening? Better questions are keys that question and open doors that you had stopped questioning and closed.

There are two better questions that will get you closer, faster, to the real story.

 Questions that question your assumptions:
If the water throughout the story does not represent what you assume it does, what does it really represent?

And if Rich’s journey did not take the day you assume it took, how long did it take? How long will it take?

We settle for our standards. Is your standard the glass full that you receive from the first few times you read this story, the first few times you discuss it, or will you only settle for the ocean.

Will you actually think it, ink it, do it, review it?

You are the result of your choices.

So please use this story as you would a watering can. The more you sprinkle it, the more you grow.

grow up and become
who you really are.”
