Alicia Castillo Holley, International Author and Speaker

Alicia Castillo Holley is the author of The Ten Unwealthy Habits and Falling in Love with your Life, both sold on Amazon.com. In her own words, she loves to talk (and write) about entrepreneurship, innovation, venture capital and passion. She also developed the term "Wealthing" as a systematic approach to creating wealth.

What I find fascinating about Alicia Castillo Holley is that she is living her passion! She started her career as a scientist, she entered the corporate world leading as the head of product development department at Plantagro, a Bayer-Shell Joint Venture. Alicia has started 9 companies and 1 non-profit and consulted and coached hundreds of business owners and scientists. Today, she travels all over the world, and is semi-retired and focuses on researching, speaking, writing and philanthropy.

Falling in Love With Your Life

Falling in Love With Your Life

Falling in Love With Your Life by Alicia Castillo Holley

Falling in Love With Your Life is released as a paperback and is sold on her personal website, and on Amazon. Concerned about the epidemics of unhappiness and her own family struggle to overcome depression, this book grew out of a series of exercises that helped shift negative feelings and give back the joyful childish spark of being alive. You will laugh, reflect and fall in love with your life from page one.

Falling in Love With Your Life is currently being offered together with Ten Unwealthy Habits on www.aliciacastilloholley.com for US$22.

Both the books are also available on Amazon, but you can get this 2 for 1 book deal for March 2011 on her website. This is not available anywhere else. Why is there an offer? Because it is her Birthday is coming up soon.

Alicia, I'm going to wish you a Happy Birthday now, in case I miss it when the day comes. You noticed I refrained from mentioning your age.

The Ten Unwealthy Habits book

The Ten Unwealthy Habits by Alicia Castillo Holley.

The Ten Unwealthy Habits is a paperbook that is also written by Alicia Castillo Holley. If you are stuck regardless of your efforts and feel you are chasing your wealth instead of enjoying it. This is a book for you. Based on her work with hundreds of entrepreneurs seeking funding, Castillo realized recurrent habits that prevented success. She discusses the key habits and offers a remedy to each invisible habit. Through the lenses of ten people, you will be surprised to find out what is holding them back.

Each habit is paired with a 'vaccine' that lifts the break and sets people free. The last chapter highlights a habit- breaking method.

What is best about this book is that she also discloses how to change each habit. For a habit to be CURED, it needs a VACCINE just like when you or your loved one gets sick. So she developed a system of vaccines to CURE THE UNWEALTHY HABITS. YOU will discover the secret insider techniques, and her special way of overcoming these unwealthy habits that we all have.

12 Days of Christmas Day 12: Boldness and Faith - even Romance! - in the Face of Disaster


On any given day my subscribers face all kinds of challenges: Business challenges, marketing challenges, personal challenges, health issues, family crises.

Sometimes the level of inspiration that would suffice for inventing a sales hook isn’t enough to power you through a real crisis. Sometimes you need some monster inspiration.

Well I got some of that just this week. My friend and neighbor Joy Sherfey has a close relative, Lisa Fox, who’s been to surgery for the second time for a brain tumor. Lisa is a 39 year old mother of young children, and this has not been a fun time for anybody at the Fox household.

She is weak, she’s on chemotherapy, and her memory, speech and motor skills have all been seriously affected by the surgery. She brings a spoon or fork to her mouth with considerable difficulty.

Her husband Rich brought her from the hospital a few days ago, on their 17th wedding anniversary. Rich prepared a special dinner surprise.

While they ate, piano music was playing in the next room. Her favorite song came up, and at that point he led her by hand into the living room.

It wasn’t a CD. It was a real live concert pianist.

Huntley Brown, a wonderfully gifted musician, was in Chicago for a concert. Rich had contacted Huntley – “Mr. Brown, you’re one of my wife’s favorite musicians of all time, and we’re struggling with this situation…”

Rich persuaded him to sneak into their house and make the evening special.

Grand slam, Rich. Congratulations on the romantic achievement of a lifetime!

That was a week ago, and the Spirit of Music has helped her along since then. She normally has a difficult time talking, but there was special music at church and Rich heard her singing along. Then she came home and — despite having a hard time eating and getting dressed — she miraculously played her piano for 45 minutes.

Lisa’s not out of the woods, and no one can say how her recovery will go. But her husband is obviously not sitting glumly in a stew of self pity. His eyes laugh in the face of disaster, and he has turned the grimmest of situations into a celebration.

Dear subscriber, I don’t know what your situation is, but odds are you’re facing something.

Rise up and face it with courage. And humor. And be sure and add a bit of romance. You too can laugh in the face of disaster — and in fact that disaster may be the crucible that perfects you so you can rise to the next occasion.

Carpe Deim.

Rocky Balboa Inspires

Rocky Balboa, The Working Man's Hero

I must have been about 10 years old when I first saw Rocky. Even then, that character made an impression on me. As the later movies got released, we would meet up and go to the movies together. At that time, Rocky was inspiring and I loved the theme song. It was and still is a good movie. Before, the movie was just fun to watch, and made you feel positive about. The last one, Rocky Balboa, really made me think. Maybe I am a little older now, and maybe being a parent made me look at life in another perspective.

To me, Rocky is about life, and dealing with the inevitable hits that you will receive. It is about digging deep within yourself and finding the will to overcome challenges. Most of us have a support team around us, family, friends, colleagues, even the management. But no one can pull you up off your knees, except you. You have get up on your own two feet before the rest of us can pull you up higher. Stop making excuses and stop blaming people or circumstances for the hole you are in. Once people see you make the effort to be better than you are now, many will extend their hand to help you. It may seem unlikely, but I have found that people will actually root for you. Even if you don't know it.

Watch this video clip. It is inspiring, it is motivating. So take a few minutes and let Rocky Balboa give you one of the most inspiring prep talk you will ever hear.





Words To Remember

Social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter can be useful, instead of a time-waster. Here are what some my friends wrote and tweeted today. As my headmaster used to say, here's 6 of the best!
  1. "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer
  2. "You never fail until you stop trying." - Albert Einstein
  3. "Real leaders are not the people who can point out what's wrong. Anyone can do that. Real leaders are people who can make things better." - Goldsmith
  4. "The tensions in our life are there to strengthen our convictions... not to run over us." - Nick Vujicic
  5. "When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible." - Unknown
  6. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
The next part is to put these words and ideas into action. Live it.
