My letter is copied with permission
I write this so others may read, and if they choose, to benefit from the words.
There was a cost in money for this information
Hundreds of Books, Seminars I attended, the use of my time. I ask none
In humility, I honor here
My Mentors...
Congressman Bob MacQuien
Dexter Yeager
Jerry Alderman
Julie Roch
Robert Mc Carthy MD.
Lee Mc Carthy, my Father
These Mentors gave me their time, because they believed in me
They took me from broke with few friends, to a Net Worth of 2.2 Million in the year 2001
By then, I was surrounded by friends and well wishers. The critics were gone
They did it with their skill, I just did the work, and listened and believed.
Thru speaking to thousands, I gained hundreds of friends
This is not to say who I am, I am a common man
I offer this for you to say...
Life is good, and it can be better
As the book says, "Possibility Thinking"
If the Dream is Big Enough, the facts don’t count
My Expanded Letter
Morning My Friend
I feel so bad for your pain
I sometimes have back pain from an old Jump School Injury
Sharp in my lower back if I lift too much
I wish your Doc would Med you
Cheat and do Double Tynol PM
It helps me sometimes
Here is the process I spoke to you about
Yes Girl, I am PROUD of YOU
It makes my time worth wile,
if a person actually listens and makes SOME changes
Life is a "process" not a "destination"
Those who do not change will be left behind and be
wallowing in last years problems... Again... lol
Like the older man that does not want to learn the Computer
"In my day, we did it all by hand"
The days move on, with or with out us.
I am proud of you for counting your blessings, that is a GOOD START
Truly write them down, not just think them.
BIG DIFFERANCE in results, A KEY
It will really help your altitude and make you feel like you are
"Really Beginning" your change, to improvement and a worthwhile dream
This is the basics of what I used to teach
when I did Seminar on "Goal Setting and Building a Dream with Belief"
For you this is FREE ... lol
There is a danger in this, cause it lessens the Value
Act as if you paid a Thousand to learn this... Please
Top Ten Priorities
1. Identify and Isolate your problems (limited to ten by priority)
2. List logical solutions from your assets list
3. Count and Inventory your assets (at least list fifty items)
These are Tools to implement solutions and build attude.
Example, I am healthy, I have intelligence, I have $500 dollars, etc.
4. Build your dream, Picture how life would be if you succeed
5. Set Goals, Short term and five years out
6. Create a short term immediate plan using current assets
7. Create a long term plan 1 to 5 years ( Dream Big Here )
8. Work like it is up to you, and pray like it is up to God
9. Measure the progress toward you Goals and Dreams so you feel the improvement
10.Live your Dream and enjoy your progress along the way
Now you have the essence of my very expensive Afternoon Session
Next My Friend
The Evening Session was all about Dream Building
Finding you Hot Button and what will make you go, to do the work ahead and face your Changes and Challenges
Another List of Corse
Dreams, just some opening suggestions
Spiritual I want a living relationship with my God
Physical I want good health, loose weight, look good, ect
Personal I want a great Man and Love, I want to fix a relationship
Mental I want a Degree, or a problem in my mind gone forever
Career I want to work on my promotion, start a business
Material I want a Hummer or a Red convertible, or a house, ect
Travel I want to see Europe, the Grand Canyon, the Holy Land, ect
And so on and so on
Try this and be Honest and Detailed in the "Plan" you make
I will tell you this works, and I created thousands of Thousand Airs... lol
who were substantially better off in money and in their relationships
and a few Millionaires, who actually worked this system to the MAXIUM
including ME.
You can do ANY of this, you are Very Bright
It is work and requires a "Mind Set Change" to Dream
We need to elevate what we believe is possible in our selves,
which is a step out of our sometimes, safe boring box...
and... we need to constantly focus on "The Dream", the Reward
What we get if we do the work
Go look, touch, feel, and experience your dreams
It is the fuel in your tank, to make you Succeed and CHANGE
Lastly
To you I say...
Thank you for "Asking Advice"
Thank you for "Beginning"
Thank you for Counting Your "Blessings"
And "Stepping out in Faith"
I hope you enjoyed my Seminar for you
Please Write down your Dreams, Your Assets, and your Goals
We all come to the world empty handed, just being held
We have the same promise and opportunity...
to create many friends, see this great world
become loved and cherished, and... become finically secure.
Winning, is measured in many ways
and those that succeed in relationships, or money, or with our God
were never picked by me
I don’t pick them...
They all choose for them selves
My Congressman friend always said,
the "True Gift of America and Freedom... IS"
"WE DECIED OUR FATE... EACH FOR OURSELVES"
I may post this later for others that have asked me
how I worked thru my "Fifty Life Goals"
Best to you My Friend
You will make it thru this tough time
I believe in you VERY MUCH
I will pray for you
I hope this is a Blessing, for many years
We become what we believe
Rick

Life is a "process" not a "destination"
Life is sure a process and right now I'm not sure what my process is but I'm plugging along. Very informational and the wisdom is so true it hurts!
"WE DECIDE OUR FATE... EACH FOR OURSELVES"
And that we do, each decision we make changes the course of our lives for better or worse..
Probably the best part in the whole piece but I can't decide.
We all come to the world empty handed, just being held
We have the same promise and opportunity...
to create many friends, see this great world
become loved and cherished,
You are amazing. Truly.

I used to teach the principals as a speaker
and used them in my own life, by example.
The most important part is the principals.
List your dreams, and have a plan to achieve

Quick question for you Rick, how do we overcome all the obstacles (and we know that there are many) that are standing in our way to completing our plans/goals/dreams???

Solid blueprint.....how refreshing & filled with honesty
Dear Richard Lee:
I've reviewed your blueprint sir. It has been documented
and approved, it meets all local and state regulations,
and personally I'd like to attach a note.
Note:
I've been working here now for 52 years, and this is
the first time, I sit here in aghast. Your blueprint
sir is absolutely "flawless" absolutely nothing for me
to amend or attach.I've posted it above my workstation,
and took a copy with me to fill it out to my best ability.I'm not the type of person who believes I can
live in the garden of eve here on earth eternally.Perhaps life is telling me it's time to leave, to step
out, work hand n hand with my grief and transform it
into a life I really find worth living. So, thankyou
for submitting your plans. I raise my coffee cup
and toast..I hear you, and here's to all of us on thisjourney,embracing
courage and flexibility to make the changes that need
to be.
Sincerely,
ears2hearyou
Kathleen : )))

Your words are so wise and I know that many will be blessed by your sharing this.

This has helped me put things into perspective and I really believe that is my first step towards achieving all I can. I am thankful for your time and advice.
