Overview

The Seven Places might be the most powerful and life changing book you will ever read.

Imagine that you have just visited a large body of water that was 36 miles wide and 29 miles long. It was a sight to see. However, you learn that water was only 8 feet deep. Now you have come to a small body of water that is only six feet long and only six feet wide. This water is not impressive at first until you learn that this water is one million feet deep. The Seven Places is like this water-it is small in size, but what it speaks about is one million feet deep. The Seven Places is about eternal truths and, if you let this book inspire you, it will change your life for the better.

Description

Chapter One titled "Do Not Let Yourself Stop Yourself" has inspired successful results for some readers in just hours after they read the chapter. These readers have seen amazing things happen for them even before they acted on the words and the message. Why is this possible? Apparently, something they read lifted away a weight in their mind, their attitude, their heart or their spirit. Once that weight was lifted, positive results unexpectedly flowed to them. These surprising and welcome events will not happen to everyone but, if you read Chapter One and live it, regardless of how fast the message in this chapter works for you, know that the message in Chapter One can "heal you" and "call forth" extraordinary and wonderful outcomes.

Chapter Two contains secret advice from a private journal of thoughts that were never supposed to read by you or any other person. This journal was lost for hundreds of years after it was written. Now you can read the powerful Book One from this journal in Chapter Two of The Seven Places. You will receive private advice from one of the most honorable, successful and wisest people who ever lived in Chapter Two. Make no mistake: the message in this chapter can inspire you to become a better parent, a better manager, a better leader and a better person.

Chapter Three titled "Stop Waiting, Go First" will inspire you to take charge of your life and to take the initiative to create positive outcomes. Most people are just waiting for a sign, other people, or some external event to decide to move forward; are you? If you are still waiting for something to happen that might never happen, then you need to read Chapter Three. If you act on the profound message in the chapter, your life can be transformed in your personal, family and business relationships. Other people in your life can be transformed too. Stop waiting and read Chapter Three.

Chapter Four is the Virtue chapter. The Eternal Virtues: the Seven Heavenly Virtues; Roman Virtues; Chivalric Virtues of the Medieval Knights; Christian Virtues; The Bushido Code of the Samurai Virtues; Ben Franklin's list of Virtues and the Christian Virtues. If there is an area of your life or your business that you are not satisfied with, then ask yourself if you are applying these virtues in that area. Your answers will lead you on the path to success in that part of your life.

Chapter Five can instantly change your perspective on life. Many years ago, I read an earlier version of this chapter to one of my managers.. After he open his eyes he told me than in just one minute his total life perspective was changed. You may see the rest of your life in a completely different way after you read the words in Chapter Five.(It might work better to have someone you trust read Chapter Five to you).

About The Author

Steven Michael Bowman, born in Miami, Florida, is a non-fiction writer in the field of self -development, sales success and leadership.

The message that you will read in the book The Seven Places was shared with many people "one on one" over the years and those people asked ("pleaded with" is more like it) him to write a book on the subject of what he had read them. Mr. Bowman comes from a family in which many of his uncles and his father were salesmen of the year in their respective companies. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, he decided to move into sales and sales management and he won many salesperson of the year awards in several different companies.

With his family experience and his psychology background he began to notice attitudes, mindsets and behaviors that were common among top sales people. In every location he worked, he would sit down and have a conversation with top salespeople to find out how they thought, what actions they were taking, how they spoke to their customers, and what motivated them. He learned that those top salespeople had within them an attitude and a conviction that was not easily taught to others because it was not just about knowledge or technique-it was more the way they saw themselves, their life, their mission, their customers and their meaning. The Seven Places teaches these attitudes.

On many occasions after reading just some of the content in The Seven Places-Chapter One to select salespeople, unexpected big sales would come through for those salespeople. This happened too many times to just be just simple a simple coincidence (once you read this book, you may start to think that their really are no coincidences). So instead of writing a book containing specific sales strategies and processes, Mr. Bowman wrote The Seven Places since most sales success is fundamentally about attitude, self-belief, how you see yourself, your life, your career and how you see your relationships with your loved ones, your associates and your customers.

This book is not just for business people or salespeople. This book is for everyone who feels that their life is not going the way they hoped and dreamed it would and they need something to help inspire them to rise up and overcome their current circumstances.

Mr. Bowman is the Founder of the company The Seven Places. His company offers Seminars, Workshops and Speaking Engagements on the message in The Seven Places. He also offers a Sales Training Seminar for companies and salespeople.
