Do you have a dream that sometimes seems unattainable?

Do you feel discouraged because you haven’t succeeded in realizing your goals?

Do you ever consider giving up?

Being passionate about your goals isn’t the only determiner in whether they’ll come true.

Persevering in pursuit of a dream, no matter what the obstacles, can be just as important to success as passion and talent.  Without a dream and a plan to achieve it, even a person with great talent and intelligence can end up unfulfilled.  There are many stories of successful people who have had doors slammed in their face before things fell into place and their dreams were realized.

The 2008 documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil tells the story of a heavy metal band that never really made it.  Despite being known and admired by other musicians, including Slash of Guns N’ Roses, this Canadian metal band never broke through to the big time.  Formed by two high school friends in the early 1970s, the band released a dozen or so albums in the 1980s and 1990s but failed to realize significant commercial success.

Forced to take other jobs to survive, they continued to tour and take whatever gigs they could get.  The movie follows them on one particularly dismal European tour where they play in small pubs and have to fight to be paid.

The film is notable not so much for showing what great undiscovered talent the band has, but for focusing on their determination to keep on trying to make it to the big time.

Their love of rock n’ roll wins out over all the humiliation they face as they play to near-empty auditoriums.  Through the years, they’re motivated by a belief that their big break is still to come.  The optimism of the band’s lead singer, Steve “Lips” Kudlow, is exemplified in this statement, “If you go through life thinking tomorrow is going to be a better day, it will be.”

I know what you are probably thinking…whoever would title an ebook called, How to Be Rich and Happy is most likely full of hot air.

As you know, there are loads and loads of books out there that promise complete happiness and how to “get rich”. In most cases, as you know, the content in these guides is, let’s just say, is a bit lacking.

I will be honest, I had this same thought when I took my first glance at How to Be Rich and Happy, a massive ebook by Tim Brownson and co-author John Strelecky.

I simply had to dig into this thing and see if it really stood up to all the hype and lofty title.

So what did I think?

Well, I will be honest with you…

THIS EBOOK SIMPLY DELIVERS.

In fact, I will go as far as saying it is one of THE BEST ebooks I have ever read on creating a life of freedom, happiness and contentment.

First of all, this is not your typical 20-30 page ebook filled with fluff, large fonted print and basic information.

How to Be Rich and Happy tops out at just under 220 information packed pages.

Once I started reading it, I must admit, I could not stop reading it. I read nearly half of it in one sitting and finished the rest later on the same day. For any book to grab me like that is saying a lot (I’m VERY picky!)
