      INTRODUCTION

      By Thomas R. Stutler, Esq.

      Motivational Speaker, Spy Novelist, Former FBI Agent, and Serial Entrepreneur

      Did the recession catch you off guard? Are you dealing with emotions and anxieties every day? Do you want to re-invent yourself? Do you want to pursue your passions? Do you want to be productive again?

      The grand purpose of this self help book is to inspire you to pursue your passions by providing you a set of life tools to use every day to empower yourself to achieve greatness. No matter how old or how young you are, or where you are in your life, it's never too late (or too early) to improve the quality of your life, and check off some of the items on your bucket list.

      If you are not enjoying your life, you are facing challenges you never expected to face at this point in your life, or your intuition is telling you it's time to re-invent yourself, this book is for you!

      Step one is to take a look inside the proverbial tool box that contains all the life tools you use every day to get through the day. Tools in your tool box may include the way you look at the world, your expectations, your self confidence, the way you set goals, the ways you deal with stress, your relationships with friends and family to just name several. Together, we are going to get rid of the tools that aren't working, dust off the ones you should be using but don't, and share with you some new life tools. Building, rebuilding, inventing and re-inventing go from being impossible to possible when you have a set of plans designed just for you, and the right tools.

      If my life’s journey reflects anything worth sharing, I am the poster child for anyone who has re-invented themselves and failed, and for those who have re-invented themselves and succeeded! I wake up every day facing the same challenges most people do. My mailbox always has more bills than greeting cards, and my life is filled with the typical, time consuming responsibilities reserved for a husband, parent, son, brother, friend, neighbor, business owner, voter, you name it. Sometimes the pressure just to exist in this busy-busy world is overwhelming. The thought of succeeding and getting ahead of the game is a terrifying one and some days seems impossible.

      Fortunately, I learned early in life through sports and my parents that hard work does pay off in this country, and much of success starts with just showing up. Of course, once you show up, what happens next on your way to success is often the result of attitude, fate, luck, your plan, and who else decided to show up or stay home today. While this book will touch upon most of these factors, we focus on attitude - your attitude, your disposition, your self-confidence, your plan, and most importantly working together to find a common sense strategy designed just for you. Imagine yourself going into someone's garage to find a tool that you need to fix something in your house. You aren't exactly sure what tool you need, but you'll know it when you see it. This book contains a peek into our toolbox, and every life tool referenced in each chapter is there for you. Put the life tool in your own tool box, and share the tools that make sense in your life with your friends and family.

      Okay, let's switch gears. My introduction is almost finished, but before we end, I want to share with you the brief history behind the Pay Attention and Have Fun idea.

      My inspirations to write Pay Attention and Have Fun were two-fold. One event inspired me to start the book, and another one inspired me to finish (and publish)! The triggering event happened one morning when I was driving my boys to school two miles from our house in Valrico, Florida. The boys must have gotten a lot of sleep or snuck a sip of my coffee because they had a lot of energy. In a flash of inspiration, I coined the term ‘Pay attention and have fun!’ and from that day on whenever I wanted the boys to reset, focus or get ready for something important, we would have the following exchange:

      Hey boys, what are the two rules of school?

      They would answer: Pay attention and have fun!

      Pretty soon, my wife was saying this empowering phrase to me and the boys, the boys were saying it to each other, and the use of the phrase spread to family and friends!

      Near the end of 2008, my wife and I updated our wills, and updated a family binder we keep that contained a snapshot of our lives. The binder was just in case anything ever happened to either one of us or both of us, there was one place someone could go to get copies of all the
