Inspiring!!!

Fascinating story! Even if this wasn’t one of the best books on implementing positive thoughts into your life, I would read it again! Very entertaining and he laid out how he changed to the positive meditation which changed his life’s path!

Life Changing!

Mr Long, your story has been an inspiration, a motivating strength in my journey to change my life. I read your first book and within minutes, I was in tears. Your life experiences have given me hope, hope that an honorable and successful life was possible for me. With your years of seeing it all, doing it all, and owning it, you are a shining example that no one is doomed because of earlier life choices. After reading your first book, now this one, I've taken the scary steps to leave a huge income, earned via distasteful methods, to pursue a new business helping others find hope and success. God Bless you, Mr Long. You may have spent time in prison, sir, but your testimonials helped me free myself from my own. - Elizabeth Spraggins

Wow!

I really liked the candidness and the humility of the author. The book held my attention throughout. I would highly recommend it to those who are successful as well as those who are struggling in life.

Belief, that is “firm belief “, is the key.

Not Even Kidding… One Of The Best Books I Have Ever Listened To

Wow, Weldon Long. This is the 3rd time i listen to it all the way through. And you all have no idea, the impact he makes on my heart. Just finished it again & My Heart Feels So Full❤️

Going to follow up with the next book… The Power Of Consistency. I’m So Eager and Ready To Start It All Over Again and Get Serious About Putting Action Towards His Teachings, Not Only Being Consistent With Everything Else, But Being Consistent With Doing What He Says To Do…

Excellent book

I enjoyed this whole story. I was introduced to Weldon through the heating and air-conditioning business. I’ve had his books on my shelf for years and I finally opened them up and read them.
