HAVE ANYTHING YOU REALLY REALLY WANT
The following review by Colin Edwards appeared in the "Colines
Newsletter", November 2005, Vol 2, Issue 11:
MEET THE AUTHOR, BUY THE BOOK
Although there are no written rules, I endeavour to keep this
newsletter free of paid adverts, bad language, politics and
religion. At this time of year, when the traditional religious
dimension of the Christmas preparation is not totally buried
under a feeding frenzy of materialism, I can breach the last
rule.
This month's author has personal faith at the heart of all that
he does. In a moment I shall be introducing you to Dr Charles
Muller as your author of the month.
First though, I want to share a thought that has sometimes
bothered me a little when I write articles about material
success. I had a strict religious upbringing and now, I am glad
that I did, although it sometimes seems to create a potential
conflict of interests. You see, this background, as I understood
it, implies that there is something that is somehow 'wrong'
about seeking success ... and yet I am moved to write about
gaining it.
Charles has resolved the issue for me! He is great at giving
chapter and verse, literally! He also relentlessly pursued
academic degrees, a Rolls Royce and even a wife as a result of
goal setting and creative visualisation. He achieved these goals
without damaging his Christian integrity. He did more -- he
actually used it to help him achieve them.
He is the author of many books, but my selection and
recommendation for this month is "Have Anything You Really
Really Want!" It is a slim volume of just over 100 pages and it
is an easy and fascinating read about how he did it. You can buy
your copy from Amazon by clicking on Diadem Books
Yes, it is subtitled 'A Christian Testimony', but please don't
let that put you off. Indeed, it may even attract you! Charles
is certainly no sage on a stage; neither is he a preacher in a
pulpit. He is just a wonderful, down to earth, pragmatic
individual who shares my interest in matters of personal
discovery. I know from first hand experience that he happily
goes the extra mile for his friends and clients with warmth,
positive help and encouragement.
Lest you accuse me of the sort of hidden agenda beloved by
politicians, I openly admit that Charles is now my own
publishing consultant; he is also MD of Diadem Books. That's how
I discovered his own delightful book and why I know about his
great qualities.
By the way, there is absolutely no conflict of interests between
being a good Christian and following a goal-seeking path. I was
wrong and this book lucidly shows why. Whatever your faith,
denomination or leaning and even if you have none of the
above,... I believe that you will find it a fascinating read.
As a business footnote, you may wonder how I found him. Over a
year ago, I contacted a dozen or so possible firms and
individuals on behalf of a client. Ten sent the material that I
requested and two never bothered to answer. Only one took the
time to send a personal reply instead of a standard package.
That one was Charles Muller. My client decided to go her own
sweet way, but I kept his information on file and later used it.
I do not know if this chain of events was chance, serendipity or
fate. As I have written elsewhere, others come into our lives
when the time is right for our greater good.
