Are You At One of Life’s Crossroads?

Are you making major life changes such as: students and graduates; those who are dating, marrying or divorcing; those who are job hunting, have lost their job, changing careers or starting their own business; those who are seeking personal transformation or who are re-evaluating their lives for a variety of other reasons?

If so, then this book will be especially meaningful to your present and future.

Click Now To Get Five Year Life - Don't Start ANY Relationship, New Job or Career Before Answering These Pivotal 82 Questions About You

The book FIVE YEAR LIFE is a short, simplified motivational guide and workbook to help you quickly identify your own personal, career and relationship life goals.

By answering the book’s easy 82-question quiz, you can help ensure that your multiple goals are consistent and compatible for all aspects of your life along with the multiple goals of wives, husbands and significant others.

FIVE YEAR LIFE helps readers avoid wasting weeks, months or even years of their lives traipsing down dead-end paths caused by goal incompatibilities.

I’d like to share with you a valuable thought process that might give you some critical insights into your personal future. The questions are very simple.

It’s the answers that will affect the rest of your life.

And, yes, I know this may sound like the same trite question you probably got on your first job interview.  But that was when you were a kid. With all that you have now experienced, you should have the insight to answer the questions with your current goals in mind.

Axioms of Life

After three decades of experience pursuing my mission of helping folks get to their Point B, I’ve learned a few axioms of life that I want to share with you:

  • Too many folks never consider that they have control of their own destiny. As a result, they never know where they’re going – and they end up taking too many dead-end trails that lead to nowhere because they never understood they had the right and the ability to choose their Point B.
  • Too many folks procrastinate even the micro-decisions that affect their life path. As a result, they are frozen by indecisiveness when it comes to the big decisions because they never take responsibility for defining their own Point B.
  • Too many folks consider two weeks to be long term planning. As a result, they end up making reflex decisions that get them off the right path because they never defined their right Point B past a two-week timeline.
  • If you are already in a long-term relationship, you and your significant-other need to have a similar desired Point B destination and a shared path to reach it.
  • If you don’t share the same Point B, at some other point your paths will probably go different directions – with the result that each of you may end up going your separate ways. This is discussed in great detail in my book, “Efficient Love” – so, if you need more information about this, buy the book at www.Amazon.com or get more information at my web site, www.EfficientLove.com.
  • You and your career goals need to have a similar desired Point B destination. If you are even considering starting a company, your very first decision needs to be your definition of the right-for-you personal Point B. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur – and it may make a lot more sense, for a lot of reasons, for you to work for someone else. Even then, your career decisions need to be congruent with your personal Point B.
  • The choice between starting and running a company – versus working for someone else’s company will depend upon what is right for you. But either way, your personal desired Point B needs to be on the same path as your business Point B — or you will have dragons galore that will need to be slayed on a regular basis.

Part of my personal mission is to help you make sure you’re on the right path to YOUR desired Point B – helping you define what is right for you.

Congruency

I promise this won’t take long – but this book might possibly give you some life changing epiphanies. Such as: Does your new company or career REALLY fit the lifestyle you say is important to you and your family – or is there really a genuine compatibility with that new Significant Other who just came into your life?

Consider your personal gain if even one of these epiphanies, or even one “Ah Ha” moment of clarity, gives you the right answer to a pivotal question BEFORE you start your new company, change jobs or hook up in that next romantic relationship?

Wouldn’t even one epiphany be a great ROI for this 30 minute investment of your time?

In the book’s 30 minute Quiz, stop all of your multiplexing for a few minutes. Instead, think about you.

  • What are YOU going to be doing five years from today?
  • What will be your ideal Five Year Life?
  • What are the right tactical and strategic decisions for YOU?

Unless you know where you WANT to go in your personal life, it’s going to be difficult to make a lot of the right business and personal decisions that you will face every day, week and year between now and five years from now.

Life Pivot Points

If you’re getting ready to start a new company, you’re getting ready to start down a long path that might lead to success and riches – or failure and ruin. If you are starting a new romantic relationship, your path may lead to heartbreak or to happily ever after.

With either of these life pivot points, your journey down these paths may consume a good portion of the next year or even decades of your life.

You might want to make sure, up front, that you are going down congruent paths that lead to your own Point B and that your personal needs – and the needs of your family or significant others – share that same vision of Point B.

Hope Is Having Your Own Very Special and Personal Point B

I genuinely hope that you find the book helpful and meaningful on a very personal level for your own life and career planning!

Most readers find multiple epiphanies and “ah ha” moments when they really start to drill down on what seems like trivial questions at first glance.

Hopefully, this book will give YOU some clarity about your own very special Point B when you are at some of life’s many crossroads!

Warm wishes that your Point B is all you have ever hoped for,

Your Last Paycheck™

Your Last Paycheck book cover
Navigating Job Loss and Layoffs in the Age of AI

Job loss is never just a financial event. It’s an identity shock, a loss of stability, and a rupture in how you understand your own value. And in today’s economy, finding stable work often takes far longer than people expect — especially as AI continues to reshape entire professions.

Your Last Paycheck™ was written to prevent panic-driven decisions during one of the most vulnerable periods of a person’s life.

The first half of the book provides a calm, step-by-step stabilization plan for the critical early weeks: what to secure, what to protect, how to preserve both finances and emotional footing.

The second half offers a realistic blueprint for navigating the AI-driven job market — including how to assess which roles are expanding, which are quietly disappearing, and how to reposition yourself without chasing false promises.

Reset Protocol™

Reset Protocol book cover
Beyond the Road Less Traveled: The Road Most Desired

There comes a point in nearly every life when the internal alignment that once held everything together begins to fracture. You feel it before you can explain it — a heaviness, a resistance, a sense that you are living slightly out of phase with yourself.

Reset Protocol™ exists for that moment. It guides you through 108 carefully sequenced questions designed to reveal patterns you’ve lived with for years, surface truths you may have been avoiding, and help you see your life with clarity rather than judgment.

You’ll also learn the Five-Year Lens™ — a future-focused way to evaluate decisions based on who you are becoming, not just what you’re trying to escape. Not the familiar path, but the one most aligned with what you actually want.

Reset Protocol™ is not about blowing up your life; it’s about realignment — done deliberately, honestly, and with realistic compassion. It’s how you move beyond the road less traveled and step onto the road most desired.

Reset Protocol – The Workbook™

Reset Protocol Workbook book cover
The Companion Workbook to Accelerate Your Personal Reset Protocol

Some people prefer to read and reflect. Others need to engage, write, and move. This Workbook is built for action.

The Reset Protocol Workbook™ transforms insight into execution. It follows the same 108 carefully sequenced questions, but provides structured space to capture your answers, clarify your thinking, and turn reflection into forward momentum.

This is where your Reset Protocol becomes your own — not just something you understand, but something you actively work through, decision by decision.

Whether you use it alongside the main book or on its own, the purpose is the same: to move you from awareness into alignment, and from alignment into action.

Efficient Love™

Efficient Love book cover
I Had 1,200 First Dates So You Don’t Have To™

“I had 1,200 first dates” sounds like a gimmick. It wasn’t. It was the byproduct of an accidental experiment that started with a simple website: NovelistSeeksHeroine.com.

That page described the 28 traits I believed mattered most for long-term compatibility. More than 15,000 women responded, convinced they matched. What followed was a decade-long journey — roughly 1,200 first dates, over 300 second dates, and a hard-earned education in the difference between attraction, projection, and true alignment.

Out of those 15,000, out of those 1,200 first dates, there was one — and only one — woman I asked to marry me. She said yes. That was more than two decades ago… and we’re still happily together and counting.

But this book isn’t about my story. It’s about yours.

Efficient Love™ shows you how to avoid years of unnecessary detours, identify real compatibility earlier, and find the person who is right for you — where you also happen to be right for them.

It distills everything learned from that journey — including the Three Lists — into a practical, repeatable approach you can apply immediately to your own search.

Stark Naked Startup™ – Novel: Book 1

Stark Naked Startup cover

TOP SECRET // BLACK SWAN EVENT WARNING // HEAVILY REDACTED

It begins with a problem that has quietly grown into a worldwide epidemic, spreading across cultures, countries, and generations, affecting not just millions, but likely hundreds of millions and even billions of souls on this planet, often without being openly acknowledged because it hides so easily behind lives that appear complete from the outside.

Call it loneliness, if you want, though that word barely captures the full weight of it, because what is actually being felt is not simply the absence of company, but the absence of being truly known, truly understood, and truly connected in ways that feel real, dependable, and impossible to fake, whether in romantic love, friendship, family, or the quieter forms of human connection that give life its meaning.

Four founders come together around that recognition, not because they believe they have all the answers, but because they share the conviction that this epidemic is neither small nor inevitable, and that if something could be understood at a deeper level, perhaps it could be changed, not merely for a few fortunate people, but in a way that might genuinely make the world a better place.

What draws them forward is , and at the beginning it still looks, at least from a distance, like a startup story, a few brilliant, driven people building something ambitious and hopeful in the face of a problem that seems too large for any small company to solve.

Then something begins to shift, though not in any clean or predictable way, and not in any form the founders would have recognized at first for what it really was, because whatever they had touched was no longer simply shaping what people said to one another, but the space beneath what they said, where hesitation, desire, restraint, and truth normally remain guarded, filtered, and quietly distorted.

Because when two people connect through , the distance between what is felt and what is revealed does not gradually close the way it usually does, but instead begins to collapse, giving way to a form of shared awareness that feels at once intoxicating, disorienting, and impossible to resist.

It does not feel reckless. It does not feel confused. It feels certain in a way that is almost unnerving, because the usual space people rely on to stay in control seems to dissolve almost immediately, leaving behind the unmistakable sense that something deeper has already recognized what neither of them has yet spoken aloud.

Time does not disappear. It accelerates until hesitation has no place to live, until desire and certainty arrive together, and what would have taken months becomes something neither of them can delay, and neither of them would ever choose to.

This is not the familiar courtship minuet people have come to expect, not the cautious circling, not the incremental testing of boundaries. It is something else entirely, a different kind of dance, where recognition arrives first, where alignment follows immediately, and where passion does not wander aimlessly but locks into place with a precision that feels both overwhelming and inevitable.

Desire is unmistakably part of it, but it does not stand alone, because what rises with it is something far more disarming, a sense of alignment so complete that the usual friction is simply not there, no second-guessing, no misread signals, no quiet holding back that people are used to carrying even in their most intimate moments.

Here, there is to reinterpret, to correct, and almost no place left for the subtle evasions that normally prevent passion from becoming what it was always capable of becoming.

What unfolds in that space is not merely erotic, though it is undeniably that, and not merely romantic, though it is deeply that as well. It is the experience of two people entering a form of connection where closeness is no longer negotiated, but revealed, where desire and certainty rise together, and where intimacy carries a depth that feels both intensely physical and profoundly understood at the same time.

Within that convergence, moments begin to emerge in which , where sensation deepens into meaning, and where the line between emotional connection and physical experience becomes impossible to separate.

And yet what begins here is not confined to romance, because the same underlying shift begins to extend into , , and , suggesting that what is being touched is not merely a better way for people to fall in love, but a deeper way for human beings to recognize, understand, and relate to one another across nearly every meaningful dimension of life.

What began as an attempt to address a global epidemic affecting hundreds of millions, and likely billions, starts to reveal implications far beyond anything the founders imagined, becoming less a product and more the early edge of a black swan event, one capable of producing outcomes no one can fully model and no existing system of control can comfortably absorb.

And that is when the attention shifts, because something like this will never be left alone once outside forces begin to grasp even fragments of what may be possible.

What follows is no longer simply a question of whether the founders can protect what they have built, but whether what they have touched can remain what it was meant to be once others begin trying to control, redirect, weaponize, or own it.

Especially once it becomes clear that beneath the emotional, romantic, and philosophical implications there may also be elements of that extend beyond fiction.

That realization was never part of the original plan, and yet somewhere in the process of developing this story, it became impossible to ignore the possibility that what was being described might represent something more tangible, something that could, under the right conditions, constitute , with the specific details intentionally withheld for reasons that should be self-evident.

This is not just a story. It is a partially redacted case file. And whatever is happening inside it has already begun.
