Then, I got the first book, Inside Secrets, from Mark Hamilton.

My name is Marshall B., but my friends call me Randy. I am a member of Neothink in Virginia and have been a Neothinker for about three years, since I read my first book by Mark Hamilton. Let me back up and tell you my Neothink story.

During the first working years of my life, I held many jobs: I served in the military, washed dishes, drove trucks, but finally decided my passion was cars, and I wanted to work on them no matter what. So I took a job in a small garage in my country town in Virginia. I loved the work, but as my family grew to six of us, with four kids, I had to work two shifts and sometimes weekends to make enough money to support them.

Then, at age 38, I had a stroke. I had no insurance, and it was rough for me and my family for months. Fortunately I made a complete recovery from the stroke, but I was bankrupt and worth less than zero. For one long year I had to take a less mentally challenging and very repetitive job, doing just alignments all day, every day, while I recovered and wasn't able to focus enough to do the diagnostic work I had loved.

Then I got the first book, Inside Secrets, from Mark Hamilton. I read about project curiosity, power thinking, mini-days, and getting 100% control of my life through Discipline, Thought, and Control, or DTC. It worked for me. I put these ideas and techniques into my work life and my personal life. As my strength returned physically, my enthusiasm for my job increased many times over, because I could see how I could work less and make more money by using my brain more.

To make a long story short, just from reading this literature by Mark Hamilton, within a year of my stroke I was back at work and had doubled my income. Within two years I had bought our first new home. The banks and advisers told me nobody could go through a stroke and bankruptcy and get the mortgage money to buy a home in two years, but I did. Mark Hamilton's books gave me the tools to do this. All the information is there for you in Inside Secrets. Anyone can read this book and do what I did.

About a year ago, I changed employers, and now I work for a large auto dealership. I have been taking classes and training courses to get certifications, and in this short time I have become the second most certified technician in the dealership. When the next door opens, I will be standing there ready to walk through it.

Most Sunday afternoons I spend attending clubhouses of Neothinkers in Virginia, speaking about the literature and teaching others what I have learned. This is my way of giving back and helping others. Thank you, Mark Hamilton, for your guidance, information, and support. You have changed my life. In fact, you have saved my life.
