"Life is like a 10-Speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use"

For example, we all know childhood friends who were blessed with great athletic abilities... but who have chosen as adults to let their God-given talents go unused while they willingly turn themselves into overweight couch potatoes.

We all know childhood friends who were so full of adventure and passion in their youth... but who have chosen to become increasingly sullen and bitter as they grow older.

We all know "Whiz Kids" from High School and College who were always heading up class projects and fund-raisers... but who as adults have traded in their entrepreneurial spirits for a "secure" job they hate.

Do you think those people are using all 10 of their gears? Or do you think they're stuck in low gear because it's easier to turn the pedals? Sure, it may be easier to turn the pedals in low gear, but its also easier to spin your wheels and get stuck in a rut!

The purpose of this book is to offer the information that will allow us to have all the things in life that we deserve. But understanding the principles discussed in You Inc. ... and then by incorporating them into our lives, I'm convinced we will improve the quality of our lives beyond our wildest dreams.

Can you look in the mirror and honestly say you're living up to your fullest potential?

Or are you holding back on your potential... and holding out on the quality of your life by not being all you can be?

Sadly, too many of us have "forgotten who we are" ... and too many of us are "more than what we have become".

I challenge you to look inside yourself and discover, once and for all, what you can become.

For I truly believe that once you discover the full value of YOU, INC. you will become not only what you were meant to become... you will also become more than you ever dreamed!

This book helped me realize my potential without all the hype of the rah-rah stuff. It is pretty basic and allowed me to find my self-image that I already had inside to be the person I believe God wanted every single person to be. It is very easy to read and one of the few books that can be passed down to the younger generation, and hold their attention, for them to realize their potential too.

This is an old favourite of mine. I have two copies, because after I lost one to a "borrower" I grabbed a spare to make sure I never have to do without again.

Sometimes, the shortest books have the deepest impact - consider Shakespeare's line "parting is such sweet sorrow" and think how long it would take you to paraphrase it. This isn't a thick volume, which means I pick it up a lot more, but even so every time I open it I find a new treasure. Usually just when I need it. I consider myself an "advanced thinker" after over 20 years on the Self-Growth path but I wouldn't be without it.

To those who chose to disparage the 'simple' truths within, I would simply ask how far along your own paths you are, that you are still looking for complicated answers. The 'secret' is hidden in plain sight. You've probably read it a million times. The trick, however, is in putting the books down after you've read them, and taking action - something this book always inspires me to do. That's the true value of it. Quick, easy, inspirational and a to-the-point reminder that your results are out there waiting for you to create them, along with details of the things that you need to do, and what could be holding you back if you're still feeling stuck somewhere along the way!

I compliment Burke Hedges on this excellent book, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would like to focus on a sad but true vignette which starts on page 174. Burke tells the story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who created the comic book hero Superman. To quote from page 176 "As we all know, the Superman character became a huge hit with the American public. Since its debut, Superman has generated untold profits from comic book sales, licensing deals, television series, films, etc. the first Superman movie alone made more than $100 million. The monetary value of the Superman character since its inception in 1938 must be well into tens of billions of dollars. So, what percentage of that profit do you think Jerry and Joe received? The answer will stun you. They signed away their rights to the Superman character worth billions - for a measly $130. That's $65 apiece. " After a series of lawsuits to recover their creative property failed, the men lived and died in poverty. Joe died broke and alone in 1992. Jerry died penniless in 1996. But the Superman movie starring Christopher Reeves grossed millions.

I was looking for something else when I stumbled on this book. The author Burke Hedges style of telling the story was captivating right from the first chapter. A book on self improvement was not what I thought I needed believing I presented myself well with a positive outlook what I was looking for was marketing tips, I got a lot more and a lift to a whole new level of self-worth. It was a lift I didn't even know I needed. This book has kept me captivated for start to finish.

I strongly recommend this book that like me is constantly looking to better them-selves, just take the time and read it.
