Law of Attraction was written by Michael Losier. Law of Achievement was written by Lori Giovanonni and Kathleen Gage.
The Law of Attraction has a whole movement behind it. I would love to have that happen with the Law of Achievement.
Actually, Lori and I wrote this book during a very troubled time for her. Lori and I have worked together for years. Over the years we have enjoyed some incredible experiences and successes with one another.
As a matter of fact, right before we wrote Law of Acievement, we were planning yet another business venture. Then life took an unexpected turn for the worse and the rest as they say, is history.
Here is what we have in the book's intro to give you an idea of how it came to be.
Why We Decided To Write This Book
The idea for this book began many years ago as a result of numerous conversations. Having both achieved multiple levels of success, we wanted to share with others what achievement meant to us. Although we knew someday we would write the book we were continually sidetracked with never-ending professional endeavors.
We went from thinking about writing the book to being guided to write the book through one event that changed the course of many lives. It is through this event our belief that the only point of power is in the now was reinforced like never before.
At 6:19pm on September 2, 2005, our world stopped. Troy Roper Jr., Lori’s husband and Kathleen’s dear friend, was in a severe motorcycle accident. The pursuit of business, joint ventures and material concerns came to a screaming halt.
For 102 days our lives revolved around the shock trauma unit, surgery, intensive care, doctors, nurses and an endless stream of visitors and well wishers. Lori slept in Troy’s room every night and Kathleen relieved Lori every day.
There was no word or concern about business issues. Priorities were rearranged and the world had shifted on its axis. When the crisis subsided it was evident we all had changed. Our beliefs and values had been tempered and some of them changed completely. Our greatest lesson and realization is that far too often we had lived in “someday.” Troy’s accident reminded us to live in today, cherishing each moment. After over eight months of recovery, Troy continues to inspire us.
People tend to put off until “someday” what they really would like to do today. The delays come for many reasons. Time, money, laziness, no sense of urgency or just plain not getting around to it.
Starting as a someday project that we dabbled with for years, Troy’s accident transformed this book into a today project. When we sat down to write The Law of Achievement, we knew it was destined to be a book that impacted many and made a difference not only to it’s readers but to people outside of the traditional business market.
Looking to transform lives with the book’s message as well as the proceeds, we chose to partner with Executive Women International® (EWI) and contribute a portion of each book sale to the Reading Rally.
Both of us understand the power of the written and spoken word. We have made our living from both for decades. To think of a life without the ability to read is almost beyond our comprehension and yet, we know this is a fact of life for many.
Having both been members of this fine organization for many years, facilitating EWI’s Annual Leadership Conference and having a lot of respect for the Reading Rally program, it made perfect sense to partner with EWI.
It is through the support of countless individuals and the experience of the now moment that this book came to be. Our intention in writing The Law of Achievement is to fuel action, inspire dreams and assist others in living a life of purpose, potential and possibility.
