Two weeks ago I got offered a poor contract to work a door-to-door sales job having completed a marketing graduate programme with a small company in Northern Ireland. I turned down the offer as I strongly felt I could do something better with my time/life.

The next week was tough as I had no job prospects and the jobs market in Ireland is barren. I stumbled accross your page (randomly looking for a link between Muhammed Ali’s attitude and Napolean Hill’s work). I re-read the third paragraph over and over.

I think it amazing and you have summed up the short-term difficulty with change. That piece helped me believe in myself during a tough week and I have just secured my dream-job…

People take the easy option and avoid the short-term pain of change, but progress always involves risk. Relating to your words helped me out the other side and it feels amazing here!
