A Note from Author Eleanor Jacobs

Dear Reader:

Welcome! I'm so glad you dropped in for a visit!

Thirty years ago I was in a dead end job, had car trouble, no money, was divorced and had just ended a relationship that was going nowhere. One night, while having a good cry, I picked up a book I'd found at a garage sale for a quarter and started reading it. That book changed my life in positive and profound ways. How? It taught me that the hunches, flashes, impulses and gut feelings that most people get on a daily basis are really tools that can be used to achieve goals. I was hooked and I started using that information.

Some years later I was in a happy marriage, had a wonderful son and was the CEO of a major corporation. I had accomplished all that by using what I called my "TEN PEARLS" - ten steps that I had developed over the years and implemented in order to achieve each and every goal, large or small, that I had set for myself. I was so excited about the success I had experienced using the "TEN PEARLS" that I decided to write a book about them in order to share the information with others. I wanted to help each reader of the book, man or woman, ordinary person that they might be, discover within themselves the strength, resiliency and ability to find the happiness, success and well being that we all crave. TEN PEARLS OF WISDOM: ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS & CAPTURING YOUR DREAMS was published in the fall of 1998. I was on top of the world!

Then, the real test came. Eight months after publication of the book, my world fell apart. I was abruptly fired from my CEO job. "Charity CEO Ousted" the headlines screamed, not only in my local paper but in publications across the country and on Internet sites all over the world. I could almost hear my hard-won achievements gurgle down the drain, taking with them the professional skills, expertise and credibility I had worked hard to build up. I was devastated! My family was devastated!

And that's when I really got an opportunity to implement the TEN PEARLS
OF WISDOM.

In the depths of my despondency I heard my inner voice, "Practice what you preach," and that's when I "rerealized" how using the TEN PEARLS OF WISDOM does work to turn lives around -- mine included! I not only survived getting fired, I found a new job I truly love.

Now when people ask me, "Can you really prove that the TEN PEARLS work?" I can state, without hesitation, "Yes, they certainly do!" I know from my own experience that they do work. And, you know what? I'm writing another book about how using the TEN PEARLS OF WISDOM can help anyone BEAT THOSE SETBACKS THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCE, at one time or another, in one way or another - in our lives!

I hope you visit my Internet home often. I'd like this to be a place that those who want help in achieving their dreams or in overcoming adversity, can come for help and guidance.

Your Friend in Dreaming,

Eleanor
