The Absolute Must-Read
Reading List
Perhaps the best single habit you can form as an investment in yourself is reading. But where do you start?
Not to worry! I've got both the longer Recommended List and the very short
Absolutely Must-Read Reading List.
You'll find both on the Recommended Reading page.
My name is Karl W. Palachuk. I have lots of college degrees, all of which are unimportant to list, but very important in my personal development as a human being, a husband, a father, and a successful businessman.
I have been running my own Computer and Business Consulting firm since 1995. In that time I have been lucky enough to experience both feast and famine. I've made some excellent decisions and some horrible mistakes. I've been blessed with good luck, a willingness to work hard, some sense of what my customers want, and a very loving and supportive family.
I also owe two other companies, both of which are successful in their own right. In the last few years I have written three technology books. This year -- 2007 -- I am finishing a book on the philosophy of Relax Focus Succeed®.
One of my hobbies has always been reading. This, too, is a blessing. I read almost anything I can get my hands on. I am also blessed with a restless soul: I'm never happy staying where I am in my personal development. My wife is a special blessing on this front. She has a particularly restless soul when it comes to her hobbies. She is always open to discovering new things that interest her.
And when she finds something new, she dives into it with great passion. Sometimes she convinces me to try new things. And so I discover new aspects of myself and am forced to consider new dimensions in my never-ending desire to achieve balance among the many aspects of my life.
This work evolved from my private meditations. If I had the "perfect life" it would include beginning each morning with an hour of reflective thought, an hour of exercise, and an hour writing. I really am working toward that goal, but I am too easily side-tracked.
For some time I have been reflecting on my philosophy toward success (personal and professional) and I have been writing about these things. This web site is an attempt to share my philosophy and my approach to success with the wider world.
Take any advice you find and give it a try. But please remember that I'm just a human and these are simply my thoughts. There is no magic here and I don't want to be your guru. If it works (or doesn't), I'd like to hear from you.
Sharing this philosophy and helping others to achieve their success is one of my personal goals. I hope you find something useful in these pages.
To schedule a seminar or training for your group, please contact me. I am also interested in any feedback you have on the philosophy, exercises, commentaries, and articles presented here. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
