USA Independence Day Greetings to you and all. I am celebrating independence day on July 4th, on this glorious 4th, I want to gift all 4 glorious quotations that will transform your life from the great people of USA to the World. Please check quotations at the end of the letter.  

Great nation USA has always inspired the entire world with great inventions, discoveries, universities, politicians, entrepreneurs and has produced great people (great humanity) who have established great companies that created jobs around the world and gave peace, prosperity and happiness to the world. 

On this great independence day July 4th, we take the blessing of mother USA for making the world a better place for all children by doing excellent work that will transform the world to a great place for all.

For doing inspiring work we need an inspiring coach like Gary, so in my opinion for achieving the excellence every one should attend the 100 Day Challenge, which will transform you to great people and achieving all your goals.

My Gift on this glorious July 4th, 4 glorious quotations from the great people of the USA to the World:

1) Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. -Albert Einstein(USA)

2) Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. -Abraham Lincoln. -Abraham Lincoln(USA)

3) Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for &#039;tis better to be alone than in bad company. -George Washington(USA)

4) If I find 10,000 ways something won&#039;t work, I haven&#039;t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward. -Thomas A. Edison(USA)

Have a great independence day...
Thanks &amp; Regards

		<description>Hi Gary,

Greetings to you. I attended 100 day challenge recently, the course content is excellent and I enjoyed the program. This is the BEST COURSE in the market that covers all of the self management. 

&lt;strong&gt;In my opinion, everyone should attend this program for personal growth and productivity. &lt;/strong&gt;

God bless USA and all great Humanity who are making this world a better place to live.

A gift from me to all great humanity in search of excellence, a quotation from Orison Swett Marden(1850-1924) founder of sucess magazine: 

“People who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. They have not been content with mediocrity. They have not confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others do them, but always a little better. They always pushed things that came to their hands a little higher up, this little farther on. That counts in the quality of life&#039;s work. It is constant effort to be first-class in everything one attempts that conquers the heights of excellence.”
                           - Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924),

Have a great life...

		<description>After my experience in the (first) 100 Day Challenge, I have to declare now that “Everything Counts.”

Given the difficult economic situation which we have to face during this period of time here in Greece, Gary offers a clear view, a &quot;window of opportunity&quot; to follow a different approach by convincing my self that I always have to move forward.

I am trying very hard to move forward and I know that there are… no limits!

Thank you Gary!</description>

		<description>Gary,

Your program really jump started my year.  I had several personal, professional and financial goals that I wanted to reach and I surpassed just about every one before the time was up.  I have always been a goal setter but I especially liked about your program because it taught me how to chunk the goal down into bite size pieces and then do at least one thing toward achieving that goal everyday, without fail.  

These two minor adjustments in my goal setting has actually taught me how to focus and stay focused until the goal is reached.  

The hardest time to keep chipping away at your goals is when you have a crisis.  I had a major crisis happen in February when I lost my son.  

Well, everyday I would listen to your uplifting comments and try to stay focused on the goals.  I can&#039;t say I was 100% successful everyday but they did help and despite everything, I have still achieved 4 out of 5 of my goals and I know by the end of the year the 5th one will be realized.  

Thank you Gary for being a sane voice in an insane world.  This program really works and I&#039;m looking forward to signing up again in September with some new goals, dreams and visions.  Thanks again.</description>

		<description>Gary,

What an amazing program!!

If you want to reach some goals, If you want to change your life, If you want enter a new level of prosperity, this is your ticket.  So many programs out there are just fluff.  They give you things to read and tell you to do things and basically give you the same thing everyone else does just said in a different way.

The 100 Day Challenge is so much better.  First of all, it starts off with a message each morning that is less than 5 minutes.  This is key for people who already have a busy life.  But rather than something to read, this is a video message and not just some guy standing there talking to you but a very well done video which has key points driven into your mind with words and pictures and the voice is incredibly motivational.  

I know that making a huge change in your life is hard, but it is necessary if you want the outcomes in your life to change and this program does more than it&#039;s fair share to give you the energy and thought process to accomplish that change.  

I can&#039;t wait to see where I will be at day 50 and 100 as I expect some great things to take place in my life.

		<description>Dear Gary, 

83 days ago, if anyone had said – change is not only possible but expect the return to be many many folds..I may not have readily believed them!

Just over two weeks to go still….even as a professional Counselor, Facilitator , Broadcaster and an author ..I stand here in true amazement as I look back at what I have already achieved, with an all important daily dose of super charged wisdom, inspiration, and motivation to propel me forward during this 100day challenge …

Gary let me share with you what it is to use your tools, to turn my dreams in to achievements , vision in to reality and well on my way to leaving a legacy….

So let my actions and results demonstrate what I mean by this. At the beginning of the challenge I set these goals to realize by 10th of May:

•	To successfully pass my driving test
•	To promote Self Esteem / Confidence of 50 women
•	To help 550 Bulimia sufferers via Self help book/Workshops/Telecoaching 
•	To make my two websites more visible by attracting 500 visitors a week
•	To raise awareness &amp; body image / confidence of 325 students  

Now, not only have I re-defined, fine-tuned my goals to be S.M.A.R.T. specific, but with the help of such awesome Circle of Excellence, like minded people around me, I am also enjoying the taste of the fruits of the intense, enriching, transformational journey I am currently on. 

•	I am well on my way to nailing my driving by the 10th  May
•	Self esteem conference for women – DONE (more than doubled my target)
•	368 Bulimia sufferers participated by the International Eating Disorder awareness week in February, &amp; I have now superseded the number I set for my self ! DONE
•	Although not consistent, web traffic is on a steady incline – on schedule for 10th May
•	Body image work – count so far: impacted 480 students..and still growing!! DONE!

To me the best bit is not even the above, but the meta-morphasis of what “I” have become…  here are some glimpse of the winning habits I have now formed: 

•	I am debt free 
•	Very clear about what I want in my personal relationship
•	Very mindful and aware of Time as a precious commodity 
•	Super productive in the early hours of the morning 
•	My own personal standards are unshakable and high  
•	Looking forward to keep on expanding on this fantastic success and momentum so I can see even a better version of my self emerge out of the next 100DC… 

I owe it all to the skills, ethics and high values you instilled in us from the very 1st day Gary ! 

It set the bar for me and the path of excellence is what I am now on..I cannot even think how I existed without your blueprint for achievement! 

Your most grateful student.

		<description>For years as probably many adults I was putting some additional weight and inches to my body, as probably many people with extra pounds over them, every year… for the last at least 10 or 15 years, I have had the New Year’s resolution to reduce weight and waist. I even had bought one size smaller waist pants as self pressure practice… the result: you already know it.

Last December I went to my so called “annual” physical, finding out that I have not done it for almost 5 years… at the end of the series of examination I was happy and excited because I was able to pass the treadmill test even better than 5 years ago. I was congratulated by my wife and three children, 2 daughters and a boy.

2 weeks after I was reading the actual results… If I should continue with the same trend, the high risk for a heart attack will become reality… that specific moment I told myself, I will not share this with my family but will do something to correct it. Being a coach and HR specialist, one hard thing is to make sure that you coach yourself, so decided to look for a tool that could help me and assure me that I could lose the extra pounds and inches.

After searching the internet and consulting my own programs I found something that looked too good to be true… sad, sad, sad… I was not able to afford it at that moment, I tried several things, and God finally helped me to initiate the 100 Day Challenge, I was anxious but at the same time hesitant. What this program may have to make the difference. Once started I realized what is the difference… every single day is packed with very powerful insights that actually make you reaffirm your goals, but most important to think in the benefits of achieving your goals, and enjoy the journey to do it.

I did all the homework I needed to do, research all the nutritional programs I could find and purchase… in my mind was the fact that is now or never. So following the daily message and the concepts on the forum, shared by other participants, my journey start making sense…

I established deadlines, kept moving forward, I decided to discipline myself to actually create a breakthrough, raising the bar on my eating habits and fitness practices. I learned a different perspective of the power to focus in one goal at a time, I decided to eliminate any excuse to not follow the eating plan, so any failing I could have, I’ll compensate it to make sure that I’ll reached the goal, on day 87 I claim my goal as achieved, I reached the goal one and a half months prior to the target date… this couldn’t be without the 100 day Challenge. 

This is good, because now I have more days to come to assure that this is not a random result, but a consistent one, one that I will be able to maintain at least for 3 months.

I want to thank Gary and his team for making this possible, applying the serial reciprocity, I hope that this testimonial help others achieve their goals by using the 100 Day Challenge. 

Since I do not leave in the US and English is not my primary language, I authorize Gary and his team to make the needed editing to my note, to improve the writing quality, I’m looking forward to learn what is next in the alumni area, because I have many more goals to accomplish. 

Again thanks Gary, 100 Day Challenge team, ”colleagues” and thanks God for helping me to achieved these excited and extraordinary endeavor.</description>

Being a coach and HR specialist, one hard thing is to make sure that you coach yourself, so decided to look for a tool that could help me and assure me that I could lose the extra pounds and inches.</p>
<p>After searching the internet and consulting my own programs I found something that looked too good to be true… sad, sad, sad… I was not able to afford it at that moment, I tried several things, and God finally helped me to initiate the 100 Day Challenge, I was anxious but at the same time hesitant. What this program may have to make the difference. Once started I realized what is the difference… every single day is packed with very powerful insights that actually make you reaffirm your goals, but most important to think in the benefits of achieving your goals, and enjoy the journey to do it.</p>
<p>I did all the homework I needed to do, research all the nutritional programs I could find and purchase… in my mind was the fact that is now or never. So following the daily message and the concepts on the forum, shared by other participants, my journey start making sense…</p>
<p>I established deadlines, kept moving forward, I decided to discipline myself to actually create a breakthrough, raising the bar on my eating habits and fitness practices. I learned a different perspective of the power to focus in one goal at a time, I decided to eliminate any excuse to not follow the eating plan, so any failing I could have, I’ll compensate it to make sure that I’ll reached the goal, on day 87 I claim my goal as achieved, I reached the goal one and a half months prior to the target date… this couldn’t be without the 100 day Challenge. </p>
<p>This is good, because now I have more days to come to assure that this is not a random result, but a consistent one, one that I will be able to maintain at least for 3 months.</p>
<p>I want to thank Gary and his team for making this possible, applying the serial reciprocity, I hope that this testimonial help others achieve their goals by using the 100 Day Challenge. </p>
<p>Since I do not leave in the US and English is not my primary language, I authorize Gary and his team to make the needed editing to my note, to improve the writing quality, I’m looking forward to learn what is next in the alumni area, because I have many more goals to accomplish. </p>
<p>Again thanks Gary, 100 Day Challenge team, ”colleagues” and thanks God for helping me to achieved these excited and extraordinary endeavor.</p>

		<description>Hi …

My name is Jack Liguori … and I’d like to share with you a thumbnail sketch of just a few of the tremendous benefits I’ve gotten out of Gary Ryan Blair’s 100 Day Challenge program.

First of all, let me tell you that I’m 71 years old … and in addition to being a former airline captain with a major airline for a number of years, I have also been an entrepreneur for over 50 years.

I have been a student of self improvement ever since I can remember. Over the years I’ve read dozens of books … from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich to Wallace Wattles Financial Success.

I’ve listened to, or watched, many, many recordings and videos … from Earl Nightingale’s Lead the Field to the recent movie The Secret.

And make no mistake … I have gotten a wealth of knowledge and wisdom out of all those books and programs  … BUT, I have never … I repeat NEVER … experienced so much all encompassing “help” as I have from the 100 Day Challenge program. 

In fact … I found it so rewarding that I felt it was well worth repeating … over and over … so I am presently half way through my second go around with Gary’s ‘Challenge’ program.

I tell you all this about myself so that you know that it is a safe bet to say that I’ve pretty much ‘seen it all’ … and, quite frankly … I don’t impress very easily.  

Now, I know that you are probably constantly bombarded from many directions with offers that include glowing testimonials urging you to try this program, or that program. And no doubt some of those programs have much to offer.

But, hopefully your will truly listen to what I’m saying … and know that I’ve been around long enough … and extensively enough … so that you can believe me when I say this is a program you don’t want to miss out on! 

The essence of Gary’s intent is to INSPIRE … PROMOTE … AND CELLEBRATE EXCELLENCE.

Those few words are indicative of Gary’s succinct style. He uses the same ‘economy of words’ in his recently published book “Everything Counts!”. Its no wonder it took him 10 years to perfect and edit it … but out of its wisdom came the 100 Day Challenge

It doesn’t take long to realize how he consistently condenses powerful thoughts into a few concise words or sentences. I find myself reading or listening to everything several times before all the benefits of what he has put together fully dawn on me.

My favorite Zen saying is “to know and not yet to do … is really not yet to know”.

One of the greatest benefits I got out of the “Challenge” is that it helped me re-realize and organize many of the simple principles that I mistakenly thought I had previously “known” … but, I was not “doing”.

The first words I read about this program before I decided to try it were simply … START FAST FINISH STRONG.

Those four words are so simple that it is easy to let them go right by without realizing the power they represent.

By being exposed to a different one of Gary’s five-minute video first thing every morning for the 100 days of the Challenge I was able to start “doing” and “being” many of the things I had been previously exposed to, but, had never internalized them to the point where I “owned” them.

We all know how important goals are … but, most of us go about achieving them in a rather sloppy slipshod manner. But, this program helped me really identify my true goals, weed out all the lesser goals that were diffusing my focus, write them down, make them time specific, commit to achieving them … and then to check my progress every 7 days … evaluate how I was doing in the achievement of those goals … and then making mid course corrections towards their final achievement.

I guess that’s why they call Gary … The Goals Guy!

This method works for any kind of goal. For instance, at my age I need to work extra hard on keeping my body in condition so that I have enough energy to complete projects I want to complete.

Through participating in the 100 day challenge I was able to go from being barely able to do 5 pushups to now doing 50 pushups every day. I know that may seem like a rather mundane goal … but it was important to me … and, along with achieving that goal came the renewed physical, emotional and mental energy … and confidence … that is helping me achieve my more complex and difficult goals … on schedule.

Space prevents me form listing all the specific things I’ve learned from the 100 Day Challenge, but, I can say that the entire program is “integrity based” and everything being learned (or re-learned) is of the highest value.

For instance … when I set my daily goals the video for that day asks me to be accountable to myself by stating the following:  

I will honor every commitment. 
I will keep every promise. 
I will achieve every goal.

Through that simple act of being “accountable” … if only to myself … I have measurably increase my productivity … and my self esteem.

It works … as does every other thing in the 100 day Challenge.

Have you ever seen a great movie, or had a great meal at a certain restaurant … or experienced something truly extraordinary that you’d like to tell all your friend and acquaintances about … so they too could experience it?

Well … that’s the way I feel about the 100 Day Challenge.  I only wish I could accurately and effectively articulate all that I have gotten … and continuing to get out of it … so that you too will be moved enough to take action and enroll in the next Challenge … so we can all experience it together.

I’m sorry this turned out to be so long winded … but, there is so much good to say about this program that even as long as this is, I’ve only hit on the “tip of the iceberg”.

Thus, the bottom line is this … do I feel like I am giving you something of real value when I recommend you enroll in the next 100 Day Challenge coming up on September 22nd, 2010?

You bet I do! 

I only hope you’re convinced enough to take action and enroll ASAP.</description>

		<description>Hi Gary, 

Last year was a hard year for me. Several close friends passed away and I wanted to do something in honour of their memory to ensure that I was still living when what I really wanted to do was closet myself away. 

Well, the 100 Day Challenge is truly that! 

The Daily Lessons were almost always on cue - something would come up in my life and on a daily basis you seemed to provide the basis for looking at those areas. Not quite sure how you manage that but it felt like a form of telepathy on your part! 

You have inspired me to look beyond the everyday and see the magic that life holds. 

I haven&#039;t yet completed all five goals but I know I have the resilience to carry on with them and I have, in the interim, created some other fantastic accomplishments including supporting teenagers in completing Youth Projects relating to their dreams.

I have invested in Kiva. I have walked away honourably from a job that was risking my integrity. I have employed a teenager who had dropped out and given her hope. I only hope I can live up to the new expectations I feel placed on me!

You&#039;ve opened up a whole new world to me. Thank you!

With love,
