FOREWORD<br />

I’ll always remember when and where I first met Rob, in a cozy bar<br />

called The Dandelion in downtown Philadelphia. It was the meet and<br />

greet of the BookBaby Independent Authors’ Conference in November<br />

2017. Rob was there to learn about self-publishing, and sat in the only<br />

seat left in the place, which happened to be next to me! I on the other<br />

hand, was there to work, as the company where I served as Chief<br />

Operating Officer, rock paper scissors, inc, was managing the<br />

conference. It was the first such conference and my job to make sure our<br />

staff did the best possible job.<br />

Our conversation almost immediately went to subjects like philosophy,<br />

history and alternative views of world religions. We were instant friends<br />

and could have talked for hours. I was intrigued by what he had to say<br />

about the project that had brought him to the conference, and he was<br />

refreshingly and equally, interested in my goals and views.<br />

It was a nice first meeting, but soon ended to get back to the opening<br />

remarks of official conference. The rest of the event flew by,<br />

accompanied by a wave here and there and a few hi’s in passing. It was a<br />

pleasant surprise, and now I’d even say an honor when Rob handed me a<br />

copy of his manuscript and asked if I’d read it. Getting that initial copy<br />

of this book was almost like getting to take Rob’s wisdom and flair for<br />

storytelling home with me.<br />

I’ve read a number of books that focus on sharing a similar message,<br />

including “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, “The Answer” by John<br />

Assaraf and Murray Smith, “The Celestine Prophecy” by James<br />

Redfield, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, and I must say that
