To the people in his home village, Rene is a hero. He broke away, he came to America, and he is succeeding. Does he send money home to his family? What do you think? He probably sends home too much. But dont look at Rene simply as a village hero. Look at Rene as a lifelong lesson of persistence and determination, of attitude and work ethic, of self-belief and personal dedication to excellence. Yes, over the last few years I have inspired Rene, helped him build hi business, and encouraged him to succeed; but dont you think for one moment that this young man has not inspired me and thousands of others who have had the privilege of listening to his eloquently told story.

It is my hope that after you have finished reading this book you will become a hero in your village, and you will go out and buy severa more copies to give to your friends so that they may catch the inspiration of Rene Godefroy.

Introduction

I am delighted you chose to pick up No Condition is Permanent! I reall mean it. There are so many books you could have bought and read. There is, also, so much that you could have done with your time.

Yet, you have chosen to spend your time with me. Whats more, you have spent your hard-earned money hoping to find something meaningful to better your life. First, I want to tell you that you may not agree with everything I hav to say. Thats good. In fact, one percent of you will find this book offensive. The rest of you will devour every word.

Bill Cosby reminds us that the secret to success is found by not tryin to please everybody. Winners know that it is virtually impossible to meet everyones needs. Thus, I have chosen to focus on the 99% of you who will be pleased.
