The secret to mastering your destiny

Turning Change into a Payday is a genuine guide on how to unleash the power from within. The formats for change backed by examples are applicable to everyone no matter what your profession, position, or income. It's about realizing dreams, overcoming obstacles and making the most of life on every level. Consider this book a must read.

You will read this one at least twice.

Profound and powerful, Turning Change into a Payday provides brilliant, timely directions that make us look past the drama in our lives.....at ourselves; it steers us back toward the spiritual principles of self-examination, integrity, courage, and contribution. Ralph Bruksos is right....in this ever-changing world, the only thing we really control are the choices we make. Bruksos pulls the covers on the dead-end paradigm --"Happiness is knowing who to blame". Our bookstores are filled with titles offering a look at change - the cause, need for, and how to. Closer examination has revealed to me that there are an abundance of prophets and very few practitioners. Bruksos' writing style actually shows me through his experiences how he has practiced what he preaches. Read Turning Change into a Payday and join me on the high road to freedom.

A well placed kick in the butt

In my career I have read many books on change management, goal setting, leadership and human relations. I must admit that I have enjoyed most of them. However, many don't stick and really cause me to take action. Well, this book has been the sometimes needed "kick in the butt". If you are looking for inspiration it's a good read.

A note from the editor and a student of Ralph Bruksos'

If you read this volume, you will know how to accept and benefit from any change in your life, and how to help others do the same. In this book, Ralph writes that when we are ready to learn, the teacher will appear. That is certainly true in my case. I want to share with you how - as student of Ralph Bruksos, I have benefited from applying his teachings to my life. One day in March 2000, I received a phone call from Ralph, who was looking for someone to create a brochure for him. We met and, after just one hour in his presence, I understood that I needed to visit his book-lined office on a regular basis -- not only as a creative consultant, but as a client! Ralph was kind enough to take me on, and I -- the owner of a business with one employee (me), joined the company of CEOs, VPs, executives, salespeople, and business owners who have improved their businesses and their lives by working with Ralph Bruksos. In his work with me, Ralph gently began to help me understand the many ways I was, in effect, missing out on the extremely positive opportunities that lay at my feet. Gradually, I became aware of the root causes of why I was feeling so stalled out in my life, relationships and career. About two years later, Ralph honored me with an invitation to edit his book. It proved to be one of the most valuable experiences of my life. As I worked on the book, I began to apply the lessons contained in Turning Change Into A Payday to my life. I delivered the body, stopped blaming others , wrote down my goals , sought ways to close the loop for myself, stopped getting my story straight, and recovered my empathy for others. As the book consuls, I saw every day as a choice I could make to do better. I was surprised to learn that life of a man whom I only knew as happy, prosperous, and sucessful had in fact been much harder and more challenging than mine. This was a teacher, I realized, who really understood change because he had mastered it in his own life. Suddenly, my phone began to ring again with new jobs and wonderful opportunities. New friends appeared. I started moving through the changes I had put off, and felt much better. Ralph is a modest and humble man. He has never bragged to me about what he's done to help others, but I am certain that I am only one of many he has reached out to and - with his characteristic love, compassion, and wisdom - guided to the path of happiness and prosperity. I think of this book, Turning Change Into A Payday as a natural extension of Ralph's mission to help others. By writing his lessons down, he can spread the word to far more people than he could consult with one-on-one. You, dear reader, may not have the benefit of such powerful personal interactions with the author of this book. However, you do have the opportunity to buy and read this book, which contains the same lessons, stories and original thinking that Ralph uses as the basis for his consulting that has positively impacted countless numbers of peo
