Moving yourself into a position of control..., August 22, 2009
This review is from: Emotional Bailout! : Nine Principles for Rising when Your World Is Falling (Perfect Paperback)
Emotional Bailout! : Nine Principles for Rising when Your World Is Falling by Cathy Holloway Hill is one of those books that hit me at just the right time in my life in terms of impact and receptivity to the message. Her message is one of internal change, and how you can change your attitude and mindset to move into places you never dreamed possible. Even though I've heard many of the items before, the overall package struck me as something I've let get away from me over the last year.
Contents:
Principle 1 - Who Are You?; Principle 2 - If You Think It, You Become It; Principle 3 - Think Again; Principle 4 - Clear the Clutter, Chaos, and Confusion; Principle 5 - From Vision to Victory: What You See Is What You Get; Principle 6 - Financial Literacy; Principle 7 - Lifelong Learning; Principle 8 - Support, Networking, Mentors; Principle 9 - Fueling Your Inner Fire, Keep Rising!; Appendix 1 - Learning Resources; Appendix 2 - Motivational Quotes; Appendix 3 - Income Earning Websites; Appendix 4 - My Personal Goals Worksheets
Hill approaches her message from the standpoint of the economy... how to come up with your own "bailout" to survive this particular recession we find ourselves in. Many feel trapped in situations where they have no control or can't make any changes to improve their position. Hill argues to the contrary. The principles she puts forth are framed to have you sit down, take a deep look at who you are and where you want to go, and then plan a detailed approach to getting there. History is replete with people who have come from normal or disadvantaged backgrounds, and have risen to accomplish things that the world looks at with amazement. You are no different, and learning the proper mindset can start you on that path and adventure.
Personally, I needed to hear the messages about vision and motivation. I've made the mistake of thinking about what I want, but not putting it down on paper and really thinking about how that would look and feel. Also, motivation has been lacking due to stress and health issues. Refocusing on these items have helped me launch a couple of dreams that I had always put down as "that'd never happen." There's no reason *why* it shouldn't happen to me, and it's up to me to make it happen.
For me, this was a great book that has already paid benefits. If you're willing to be open to change, I can't help but think it would do the same for you.

A book to digest, August 18, 2009
This review is from: Emotional Bailout! : Nine Principles for Rising when Your World Is Falling (Perfect Paperback)
So many books are bought and skimmed and the advice never followed. This book is one that should not gather dust by sitting on a shelf. It serves the reader best when it is read, digested thoroughly, and action steps are taken from the guidance received.
"This book is a personal bailout plan. It teaches you that you possess the power within to overcome emotional trauma related to the economy, failed relationships, and all life's unpleasant issues and circumstances". (book excerpt)
I suggest reading this book with a highlighter, and keeping a journal handy. Cathy does more than explain, she poses questions which require deep LISTENING. Cathy wrote this book based on her own experience. She describes her proven action plans that the reader can put into play immediately in their lives and see new results. Some of these suggestions may be new to the reader, and some will be much needed reminders.
As extra bonus, Cathy provides a resource section of links and additional learning materials to support the reader in their ongoing success.
