You're doing pretty well, right? Maybe even very well. But it's human nature - and healthy - to want to achieve more... make more... rise to greater heights of accomplishment.

That's where Robert Ringer, legendary author of three landmark #1 bestsellers, comes in. Often referred to as "the thinking person's advisor," he has arguably helped more individuals to achieve their personal and financial goals than any other person in history.

His astute observations of how the world works and his insights into human nature have helped millions of entrepreneurs, business owners, salespeople, executives, and people in all walks of life understand how to monetize their own underutilized genius and power. As a result, he has received more than 15,000 letters and e-mails from grateful readers and speech attendees over the years.

It's also why, for more than two decades, Ringer's works have stood alone as the gospel when it comes to conveying worldly wisdom that translates into tangible results. The psycho-babble, superficial feel-good platitudes, and tired clichés that saturate the pages of so many self-development, business, and motivational books are conspicuously absent from his works.

One of Robert Ringer's greatest assets is that he writes from the vantage point of a seasoned veteran who has been in the trenches and not only survived, but prospered.

As Harvey Mackay, author of The New York Times #1 bestseller Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive, puts it: "What I like about Robert Ringer's teachings is that his unique ideas and insights can be employed immediately. Every corporate executive, sales and marketing person, small business owner, and entrepreneur can reap immediate benefits from his wisdom."

Ringer has appeared on numerous national talk shows, including The Tonight Show, Today, Good Morning America, The Montel Williams Show, ABC News Nightline, and The Charlie Rose Show. In addition, he has been the subject of feature articles in such major publications as Time, People, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Barron's, and The New York Times.

Now, for the first time ever, Robert Ringer's three most important self-development books have been published in audio format. These are not summaries, but full-length audio versions of three of the most important personal-development books of all time - 20 high-quality, professionally recorded CDs that you can access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

These include To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? That Is the Question (formerly Winning through Intimidation) and Looking Out for #1, both listed by The New York Times among the 15 best-selling motivational books of all time. Plus his latest and most important work, Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves.

Now you don't have to wait to carve out just the right time and place to sit down and re-energize yourself with Robert Ringer's profound insights. You can absorb and reabsorb his invaluable wisdom while driving to and from work, sitting in your living room, or whenever you'd like to take a work break and reenergize your brain cells.

For millions of people who have built successful lives and financial fortunes based on Robert Ringer's insights into personal growth, motivation, financial success, and high-level achievement in all areas of life, the publication of his most cherished works in audio format is seen as an historic event.

"Your books rank among my greatest treasures. The lessons learned from reading your thoughts and ideas were instrumental in helping me navigate the rocky path to my current comfortable life. I begin many a sentence with 'Ringer says'...Buying your books have simply been the best deals I ever made in my life." Lee Dees President and CEO Kendall Products

Like no other author before him, Robert Ringer has a unique way of appealing to the reader's and listener's intellect rather than his emotions. To accomplish this, he emphasizes that mastering the basics is the true path to unlimited personal growth, real motivation, financial success, and high-level achievement in all areas of life.

In other words, the quickest way to get from you are now to where you want to be is to invest your time and energy in mastering the basics of how the world around you works - and forget about hokey secrets, systems, and feel-good slogans.

It is this message that has made it possible for Robert Ringer to help more people transform their aspirations and goals into reality than perhaps any other author in history.

In more specific terms:

1. He doesn't write what he thinks you want to hear; he writes about the way things really are.

2. He offers ideas, strategies, and advice that are in harmony with universal laws and principles ... that can be implemented immediately ... and, best of all, that work!

3. He has an amazing knack for simplifying complex issues in a way that will make light bulbs go off in your head.

4. He intertwines his trademark sense of humor with a treasure chest of personal stories that provide you with priceless knowledge in a uniquely entertaining style.

"I consider myself fortunate to have experienced success in the practice of law, banking, and other business pursuits. One of the secrets of my success is that I have always tried to learn from the best and the brightest. In that regard, Robert Ringer is one of the best teachers I have come across. "What sets him apart from other speakers and writers is that his unique insights and remarkable understanding of human nature can be quickly converted into bottom-line results in both the financial and personal aspects of a person's life." Herbert H. Franks Chairman, State Bank Group Past President, Illinois State Bar Association

If you would like to join the millions of entrepreneurs, salespeople, business owners, executives, and individuals in all walks of life who have taken gigantic steps toward achieving their personal and professional goals by accessing Robert Ringer's unique insights, powerful ideas, and results-oriented strategies, the availability of his three most revered self-development books on CD is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is the greatest collection of insights into human nature, inspirational thoughts, life-changing ideas, and meaningful advice ever assembled. Every word of these remarkable books has now been recorded on CD, so you can have instant access to Robert Ringer's wisdom on a daily basis.

Each book consists of either six or seven CDs - a total of more than 21 hours of listening and learning from a living legend.

Following is a brief overview of each of Robert Ringer's classics that have been produced in CD format for the first time ever.

In this, Robert Ringer's newest and most important work, he distills the remarkable knowledge, wisdom, and experiences he has accumulated over nearly three decades as a best-selling author, keynote speaker, mentor/coach, and entrepreneur supreme. In Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves, he takes readers into his private world and shares with them the way he lives his own life.

Ringer takes the art of action to a whole new level by offering profound insights into why it is the key factor in determining how an individual's life plays out. And, as always, he debunks a lot of conventional thinking in the process.

Virtually everyone acknowledges the importance of action, but few really understand it, let alone employ it on a consistent and effective basis. That's why most people aren't where they want to be in life, and only a small percentage ever get there.

Ringer agrees that knowledge is essential when it comes to the pursuit of great achievements, ideas are precious commodities that can change the world, and a reasonable amount of preparation is prudent. However, he also is adamant in his belief that they are all useless without action, because action is the starting point of all progress.

The reason for this is that an idea is nothing more than a theoretical. Because action is, by definition, the causation of change, it is action that converts an idea into a reality and thus gives it value in the marketplace.

Period. "Thank you Mr. Ringer for empowering so many people to take charge of their lives and realize their potential. It is obvious that Action! represents the benchmark of personal development, and it clearly secures your position as the leading authority on self-improvement and performance." Ed Richards London, Ontario, Canada

This is the granddaddy of all self-development books, where Robert Ringer first introduced his focus on reality-based actions, human nature, and creating value for others. Though it contains the same philosophy, anecdotes, and stories as the original version (Winning through Intimidation), it has been completely updated and rewritten. In other words, the same book, but even better than the original.

As millions of readers know, To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is not a book about how to get ahead by intimidating others. Rather, it's a book about how to prevent other people from intimidating you. Which is why Robert Ringer insisted that the new version of the book be retitled to more accurately reflect its true message.

Every page of this masterpiece is packed with usable ideas and strategies that are presented through anecdotes about, and real-life experiences of, the author. These are often painful, always enlightening, and heavily sprinkled with vintage Ringer humor.

To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is an autobiographical story that gives a blow-by-blow description of how the author, as a young real estate broker barely earning a living, turned the tables on the intimidators who had a nasty habit of grabbing his chips at closing time. He accomplished this via an extreme makeover of his posture through a well-thought-out method he refers to in his book as the "Leapfrog Theory."

Ringer credits his revised posture with his earning nearly $1 million in real estate commissions the year he began implementing this theory. As he puts it, "It's not what you say or do that counts, but what your posture is when you say or do it." It also was the first time he was conscious of the power of turning philosophy into action, and action into results.

About Intimidation

In To Be or Not to Be Intimidated?, Robert Ringer explains, in candid terms that may sometimes make you wince:

• What intimidation is;

• Why you become intimidated; and

• How you can avoid the mental lapses that can cause even the most confident, successful people to become intimidated.

If you've ever had a business deal go up in smoke - whether it was a multimillion-dollar transaction or a $10,000 fee or commission - you'll very quickly understand why To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? has been known worldwide as "the dealmaker's bible" for nearly three decades.

Intimidation not only is a common thread that runs through every conceivable kind of business scenario, but is a crucial factor that decides the outcome of many of life's most important events. As Robert Ringer states in his book, "The results a person achieves are inversely proportionate to the degree to which he/she is intimidated."

The reality is that no matter how successful you may be, there are times when you are subtly intimidated by others, perhaps without being consciously aware of it. That is, until the results become visible: a sale or deal that blows up at the last minute, a fee or commission that isn't paid as promised, a loan that isn't approved, or an anticipated promotion that fails to materialize.

The intimidator in any of these examples could be

• A deal-killing attorney;

• A negative banker;

• A pain-in-the-neck client;

• An unscrupulous competitor;

• An annoying co-worker;

• A deceitful guy on the other side of the negotiating table; or

• A person who simply refuses to pay you what he agreed to.

Which means that intimidators come in all shapes, all sizes, and all occupations - and To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? will teach you how to spot each and every one of them. These are the lecherous predators whose objective is to shaft everyone in their path by scooping all the chips off the table in every deal. Robert Ringer will show you, as he has done for millions of others, not only how to get the deal closed, but how to make certain that you receive what's owed to you.

Whether you're trying to close a major deal, finance a new venture or real estate project, or market a product, if you heed the realities exposed in To Be or Not to Be Intimidated?, there will be fewer occasions where you find yourself scratching your head and trying to figure out why a deal you thought you had under control ended up falling apart at the seams.

Following is a small sampling of excerpts from reader letters, e-mails, and Amazon.com reader reviews for To Be or Not to Be Intimidated?: To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is sheer, thundering dynamite. "Thank you for writing the first totally honest, totally realistic book I've ever read. As vice president of Internet business development for a Fortune 500 company, I thought I was pretty good at thinking 'outside the box.' "But a few chapters into your extraordinary book, I got very excited and said to myself, 'Wow! Where has this been all my life?' To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is sheer, thundering dynamite." John T. Jeffers San Antonio, Texas I cannot begin to tell you what an impact this particular work has had on my life. "Your marvelous book was brought to my attention, and I read it in one sitting. I cannot begin to tell you what an impact this particular work has had on my life, both business and personal. I reread the book at least once a year, and make it required reading for all new members of my staff....having just finished the book for the eleventh time, thanks for the inspiration." George E. Foss III Franconia, New Hampshire By page 200 I was so excited I could barely stay seated. "Just wanted to let you know that I finished To Be or Not to Be Intimidated on Saturday. By page 200 I was so excited I could barely stay seated. I'm already formulating business strategies based on your techniques, and plan on re-reading the text this week to make sure there is nothing I missed. I only wish that I had read my father's copy of the original version years ago instead of just letting it sit in his bookcase." David Williams Bethesda, Maryland To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is a work of art that will transcend the ages. "Spectacular! You have taken the art of deal-making to a new level. Your willingness to talk openly about the brutal realities of the 'Jungle' is what sets your book apart from all others. I commend you for having the courage to write about the way things really are in the business world rather than they way most people would like to believe they are. To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is a work of art that will transcend the ages." Ralph Bellinger Carrollton, Texas This book should be part of "Business 101" in every business school in the country. "To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is a good update of a great book, and the title is much more appropriate than the original Winning through Intimidation....It is not a book about running roughshod over the other guy by being an intimidator. "The book lays out Ringer's basic philosophy of business and is filled with anecdotes of how he, Ringer, changed his success ratio in selling simply by recognizing how business is conducted on a day to day basis and applying what he learned. This book should be part of 'Business 101' in every business school in the country." B. Meiklejohn Santa Fe, New Mexico Going into any business negotiation without reading To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is as senseless as going to a gunfight armed with a water pistol. "Robert Ringer's latest tome is highly-distilled wisdom from a battle-scarred veteran of the intimidation wars. It's a terse, witty, and essential self-defense manual for every negotiation, from mega-buck mergers to collecting a commission! Going into any business negotiation without reading To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? is as senseless as going to a gunfight armed with a water pistol." John Pugsley Carlsbad, California

Looking Out for #1 is truly a book for the ages, because its powerful yet common-sense approach to life is timeless.

The focus is on the importance of making a conscious, rational to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life, without forcibly interfering in the rights of others. Thus, the concept of looking out for number one is neither narcissistic nor hedonistic, because focusing on personal happiness does not prevent a person from also being kind, charitable, or civic-minded.

It does, however, imply that you have no moral obligation to submit to playing the role of a sacrificial lamb whose interests, goals, and happiness are forever subordinated to the interests, goals, and happiness of everyone with whom you come in contact.

With these beliefs as a foundation, the author dispenses with myths and intellectual jargon and shares realistic, workable ideas that lead directly to a life that is not only more fulfilling, but also burdened with fewer complications.

(It is not yet available in book format.)
