The word “different” will probably come into your mind every time you open the pages of See You At The Top. The dust jacket is different, and to start with, “The End” is certainly different. The book is different in “feel,” “subject matter,” and “technique.” For example, I will often “shift gears” on you and insert an analogy, example, one-liner, or power phrase to force you to pause and hopefully lead you to re-read the material to make certain you got the message. I will also emphasize a “different” theme in today’s marketplace as I stress that you can get everything in life you want only if you help enough other people get what they want. As the author, I believe that the entire book is different and effective, but my objective was not to write a book that was “different.” The difference evolved because I wrote the book as I speak. [I’m like the crosseyed discus thrower. I don’t set any records, but I do keep the crowd alert.] During the past 19 years, I have given the speech, “Biscuits, Fleas and Pump Handles,” the original title of this book, over 3,000 times. Initially, the material only covered a forty-five-minute presentation. Through the years, that forty-five-minute talk has expanded into this full-length book and the “I CAN” course, which is being taught in schools and churches, and the Richer Life Course, which is being taught in businesses all over America. I cover a lot of subjects in See You At The Top, but my major objective is to communicate my feelings on faith, love, optimism,
and enthusiasm. This is important because in today’s world, many people are confused about what real love and real faith are, and are too “sophisticated” to show their true feelings and display real enthusiasm for anything. On love – I plead guilty to loving the Lord, my wife, my family, my fellowman, and America. On faith – I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who

holds tomorrow, so I approach it with confidence and thanksgiving. My Bible assures me that my past is forgiven and forgotten. That takes care of my past. Jesus Christ said, “I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.” That takes care of the present. John 3:16 assures me I will have everlasting life.

That takes care of my future.
