Hi, my name is Francis J Hayes (a.k.a The Excel Addict) and I'm so excited that you have decided to check out my own personal Personal Development resources page. I don't claim to be a Personal Development expert -- far from it. I can only relate to you my own personal experience in this area. But due to the tremendous impact these audios, books, articles, newsletters and videos have had on my life, I want to share them with everyone I possibly can.
Although many so-called self-help experts claim to have the answer to all of your problems if you buy their product or service, it has been my experience that there is no personal development 'magic bullet'. Personal Development is a life-long journey -- one I believe is definitely worth taking, regardless of your stage in life.
It was only about five years ago that I discovered the field of personal development. I am now 46 years old. I only wish I had discovered this when I was younger. The things I have learned over the past few years have turned my life around. For years my life was full of stress. I was always complaining about everything and everybody that kept me from being successful, happy, and healthy. I had always hoped that some day things would get better -- but nothing ever seemed to changed for me. Year after year things stayed the same, I felt the same, I continued to complain and kept hoping for things to change.
Now, after five years of working on my 'inner self', with the help of these resources, I want to share them with you. I am so grateful for the many blessings I now have in my life as a result of this new found knowledge and awareness. Many of the things I am grateful for, I have always had but just didn't recognize. Other blessings I have are the result of this new self-awareness and the profound discovery that we ourselves, and not any outside source, are the creators of our own lives through what we continually focus our thoughts on. You will find that idea explained and reinforced in many of these resources.
I have had many requests to share this information, so I am very happy and excited to share with you some of the resources that I have found helpful. My hope is that they will also improve your life as well. To make it easy to share this information, I have put together a list of some of my favourites below and included some notes and my own personal observations.
As I find the time, I will be adding more resources I find and share with you some of my own experiences. If you want me to let you know when I find something new and exciting, enter your name and email in the form above. If you have any comments about any of these resources, suggestions of others that you find helpful, or wish to share your experiences, I would be happy to hear from you. Please email me at success(AT)theexceladdict(DOT)com, though I cannot always gurantee a reply.
A Few Comments On These Resources I'm Sharing With You:
- You may find that at some of these websites it will be necessary for you to sign up for a newsletter in order to access the free content and bonuses. My own experience with this is that these ezines contain priceless knowledge that can help you in your life-long journey of personal development. You will want to sample many or all of these to find out which ones appeal to you and which ones don't. However, it will get to a point where you cannot possibly read every one of these newsletters. My advice (i.e. my experience) is to sign up for the newsletter, even if it's just to get the free bonuses, and read it for a few weeks. Then decide which ones 'WOW you' and unsubscribe from the rest.
- These sites will not give away your email address. I have never had a problem with any of these websites giving away my email address.
- You'll probably come across hundreds of people who claim to be personal development gurus. If you want to start with the best look out for names like Jim Rohn, Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, Vic Johnson, Zig Ziglar, Randy Gage, Mark Victor Hansen, Robert G. Allen, Bob Doyle, Jack Canfield, Robert Kiyosaki. There are many, many more but these are a few of my mentors whose wisdom is inspiring me to transform my life into something better than I had ever imagined.

Some of my favourite resources:
NEW ! "13 Secrets of World-Class Goal Achievers " Here is your special report that Will Help You Achieve Nearly Any Goal You Will Ever Have (it's FREE!).
The Strangest Secret (FREE audio download) (This is a great place to start your journey) The Strangest Secret has sold over a million copies and is the only gold record ever achieved for the spoken word. Its message is simple, yet powerful. Many thousands of people have attributed this recording with turning their lives around and helping them make their fortunes in the world. You can listen online or download a FREE MP3 of this legendary audio program to listen over and over. I hope it will inspire you to greater things than you have ever imagined.
Think and Grow Rich The #1 success classic of all time. This book has influenced more people that any other book written in the Motivation/Self Help field. This link takes you to an e-book (for purchase). Personally, I bought the book at a local bookstore. I think this was the first PD book I ever read.
The Secret
This is one amazing movie. I originally watched it online ($4.95) and was so imprressed that I ordered the DVD. This movie was just released a couple of months ago but I'm sure this will quickly become one of the cornerstones of the self-help movement. I highly recommend it.
As A Man Thinketh
CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE It’s the book that’s changed the lives of millions. Download a free e-book of Jame's Allen's "As A Man Thinketh" at this website
When You Can Walk On Water Take The Boat
Here you can download for free an electronic version (eBook) of this amazing book by John Harricharan. Of all the books I've read, this is the one that has inspired me the most and given me hope for the future.
MP3 Motivators (Vic Johnson)
Once you start on the road to personal development, you'll want to absorb this information as soon as possbile. (I have to warn you, it can be addictive.) With this website, you won't have to wait weeks to have your motivational audio tapes, CDs or books to be delivered to you. This is an awesome website where you can buy instantly downloadable audio files from the best motivational speakers in the world at deeply discounted prices. If you are new to personal development you may want to start by downloading and listening to "SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED" which you can get here for FREE. You'll also find lots of samples of the recordings. PLAY THESE OVER AND OVER IN YOUR MP3 PLAYER. The E-zine from this website is actually an 'MP3-zine' containing a different MP3 audio message each week from one of the masters of personal development.
Jim Rohn
Jim Rohn was one of the first personal development trainers I ever heard of. I've purchased his books, e-books, MP3 audios and CDs. I can never get enough of Jim's wisdom. Jim Rohn is the person who trained Anthony Robbins and is a mentor to all other personal development trainers. At his website you can sign up for his E-zine, read his large archive of previous E-zines (1999-2006) and articles. I especially like the convenience of being able to purchase and instantly download his MP3 audios and ebooks. There's a lot of wisdom to be had here for under $10.
