Publication of a new book by Public Words’ good friend Tim Sanders is an event to celebrate, and in this case, Today We Are Rich:  Harnessing the Power of Total Confidence, is a special cause for celebration.  The book is packed with great stories, jammed with wonderful tips on how to improve your own confidence and performance, and overflowing with the character of Tim’s grandmother, Billye, who took him in and raised him up to be the dynamo that he is. 

The book is Tim’s most heartfelt and revealing to date.  This one is personal.  We get the story of Tim’s tough childhood and his ‘sideways’ years after his father was murdered and Tim simmered with anger and rejection. 

The stories are memorable, and the advice is spot on: 

Feed your mind good stuff.  (Turn off the junk TV and bad news.)

Move the conversation forward.  (Keep it positive but don’t ignore the realities.)

Exercise your gratitude muscle.  (Remember everyday what is good about your life.)

Give to be rich.  (Take what you need and share the rest.)

Prepare yourself.  (Do your homework.)

Balance your confidence. (Keep it real and have a purpose.)

Promise made, promise kept.  (Follow through on your commitments.)

If you work with Tim, you’ll find that these are indeed the principles he lives by, so the guy is for real.  And if you take these principles on, you’ll find that you are indeed rich – from today forward. 

If you get a chance to see Tim speak, seize it.  He’s one of the best public speakers on the planet.   Today We Are Rich is a top-notch self-help book from a charismatic speaker who’s lived a real life and knows what he’s talking about.  Highly recommended.
