“Not another self-help book?” I hear you cry. Well, for once no, definitely not just another self help book. You've probably tried, and more than likely been disappointed, by self-help books in the past. Why is that and why is this one different?
Well here's the truth; the fault doesn't lie in the books you have read before, it lies with you. Only you can make a difference. It wasn't the books that failed to make an impact, it was you. Get over it.
The Impact Code is a beautifully simple approach to life. So simple you will wonder why it never occurred to you to do it before. So, it's time to get off your butt and start living for yourself, for your dreams and for your life. Nigel Risner's approach is direct, sincere and devastatingly honest. If you follow the code, you will see and feel a difference in your life and the life of everyone around you. Your life is waiting for you to get started. All you have to do is crack the IMPACT Code and the world will, quite literally, be yours. The choice is yours; it always has been.
