Testimonies about the book, I Was Born To Win

James,

I'm so thrilled that we connected again after the couple of years since we spoke on your radio show. It was a real pleasure to be a part of your seminar as one of your sponsors. Although the turnout wasn't as large as we had hoped, I believe that the people that attended had their fill of useful and insprational material.

Bryan Flannigan was a joy to watch and listen to. He has such a sharp wit and had some very influential things to say.

Although I've known you for a few years now, this was the first time I had the pleasure of seeing you in action. I was personally touched by the part of your talk that touched upon the "Detours" that we take in life to avoid pain. It was an epiphany of sorts for me to realize that you were describing my life to a tee!

More people need to hear what you have to say and we need to work together to get that word out.

Congratulations on your sucesses.

Respectfully,

Lou Sansevero

Hello James

You impressed me at your seminar and that is hard
to do. I don't know exactly why, but I felt a connection with you, even
though we only talked for a minute. Your presentation really started me
thinking about where I am, not only in my business, but more importantly
in my Life. You hit the nail right on the head with staying in the
conscious pain to avoid the unconscious pain.

Iam just
starting on chapter three in your book and so far the book is fantastic.
I love you Wishlist and this sentence from chapter two - "If the
wishlist has to come before winning we will loose every time"

For
those of you who are wondering what the Wishlist is, get the book. You
will be glad that you did. In my opinion it is worth way more that the
cost of purchase.

James, I look forward to getting to know you
better.

God Bless

I just wanted to tell you that I went to Virginia to visit my daughter and my parents the first week of August and I gave my book to my daughter.  She is reading it and is really into it. I thought that was awesome, because that usually doesn't happen with her where she finds a book that holds her attention. She looks great. She has gained her weight back and I can tell her attitude about things are changing. I know she has a long way to go, but I really think your book is inspiring her to be a better person. I have praised this book to several people and they have bought copies. I really didn't know that I would be marketing your book, I think its kind of funny. Anyway, I thought I share that with you. Thanks. :)

I commend James Smith for writing AND publishing this book himself. The
book is a definite read for anyone who loves inspirational, positive
literature that makes one stop and take stock of their lives. It has
the ability to move one forward when stuck in a rut, and to push those
who are already on a great path even further. Young or old, there is
something for everyone in this fine book. James captures the essence of
our being, LOVE, and shows us a path that takes us down a road of
fulfillment while also bring us to our W.I.S.H.L.I.S.T (You'll have to
read the book to see the meaning) without chasing after it. Highly
motivational and recommended reading. My congratulations to James for
this brave work and I look forward to his future works. - Lou

This is a superb book. I started reading and could not stop reading
after the first chapter. It's not just a "read-only" book As you
reflect on different areas of your life the key changes to help you in
your life. You have done a great job on this book.

I would reccommend anyone to read this wonderful book. - Linda

In his book I Was Born to Win, James A. Smith encourages us with practical steps to winning effectively. As you read this insightful and enjoyable book, reflect on how these principles are truly relevant to your life. Then take purposeful action! - Michael Schwambach, Chief Solutions Officer, Schwambach Performance Engineering, Incorporated. Ocala, FL.

I approached the reading of the book with a large dose of scepticism as the whole concept seemed to be just another self-help book based on everyone reaching their highest potential as humans. The book is so much more than that! It connects the reader to the only source available for a life of meaning, relevance and joy. It is well written and enjoyable to read while being profound in its message of God being the power of everyone who is truly a 'winner'. - Billy Tullos, Bradenton, Fl.

James - Thank for your work on writing a book that clearly defines what true success looks like as well as offering understandable strategies for achieving it. After reading it I am certain of two things. First, that it will benefit all who take the time to read it and second, if it was written by one of today's more recognized authors it would quickly move up the best seller list. Thanks for encouraging all of us to go out and 'knock 'em alive' - Chip Powell, Bradenton, FL.

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to read 'I Was Born to Win'. Knowing James Smith personally, this book is an accurate portrayal of his philosophy of life, his plan for success and his spiritual outlook. It made me think, reflect, laugh and cry. The ideas, concepts and suggestions could be life changing. I would recommend it to anyone experiencing the journey of life. - Gary Salyers - Bradenton, FL.

I don't know anyone more passionate about life than James A. Smith. He
has an awesome desire to help others live up to their full potential. I
appreciate his encouraging spirit and his dedication to personal
growth. He is a Winner!

If you embrace the philosophy that 'you never graduate from learning' then you'll embrace James Smith's book I Was Born to Win! By applying James' principles on growing from the inside and giving from the inside, you will learn how to live life to the fullest! His chapter on 'Pain for the Proper Purpose is Productive' is a must read for any of us who face life's challenges.
