Hi Croz I'm continually impressed with your talks and material you send out, It uplifts me everytime. Myself I\'m a simple guy who\'s struggling to put together a \"career\" having finished a university degree nearly 3 years ago. Really what I wanted to do when I started studying was to one day open my own business. Its been fascinating watching Josh\'s Journey especially considering his specialist field is the same field I studied. Myself I\'ve been in and out of Job\'s since i finished my degree with a nearly two years of it as a petrol station and im currently a storeperson. Hope you dont mind my life story. So what I really want to know is what will it take to have Croz from Oz personally mentor myself and my lovely wife Moumita (shes an assistant HR advisor) to achieve our goals? We also do have a part, time homebased networking business which I really enjoy. The great part is helping people. To future endeavours, Tim Jamindar, Arnold with Moumita Jamindar, Arnold

Hi Croz! Thanks for that! My son has expressed an interest in your course!!( yee-ha!). We are going to England for a month, so unfortunately won't be able to make all the meetings, how-ever, I feel that 1/2 a Croz is better than no Croz, and hope that it will be OK for my son and myself to join? It is the first time he has said he will go to anything,so thats a start!
Kieran Perth W.A.

Terry
I just want to say, Croz, that your newsletter is one of the most helpful tools that will keep me from heading out into \'the wilderness\' again. I know the resistance is all within me, and it is me that must overcome it. Other people are overcoming their resistance, and with your and their examples, I will overcome mine. Regards, Terry

Hi Croz, Julia (Ancient Soul) here. I was wondering if I could have your permission to make a tape of SoGRIPE for myself so that I can listen to it while I am working? It would be for personal use only. Are you planning on making a CD using your voice anytime soon? I get so much out of audiotapes/CD's, because I can work on my pottery while I listen instead of having to stop and read. BTW, I put your YouTube videos on all the time-I listen to them while I'm working too-they're great! Keep up the great work, (((HUGS)))), Julia
Charlie USA
Thanks a lot for the copy you sent of SOGR in plain language. Your intro is really valuable too. all the best Charlie
Julie from New Zealand
Hi Croz, Great read thank you. I read the SOGR years ago and have been on Rebecca's mailing list since the beginning, and I got her Practical Genius's pack a year ago, and so it was just great to read the whole thing again through someone else's contemporary language. Good On You ! and not only for re-writing the book, but for what you have achieved. I'm at a professional crossroad (or should that be 'Croz-road') right now and hopefully I can keep my mind on the right track, and yes it does take effort not to swerve into the odd ditch when the odd croc wanders into your path, but with radical forgiveness and unbounding gratitude as faithful allies, it's All Good. Again Many Thanks for your work, Julie
Karin South Africa
Hi Croz I finished your plain English version of SOGR I really enjoyed it, especially the cute illustrations in between. Will definitely be reading it again. I was just wondering about how SOGR has enriched your life (besides in money)? How have YOU as a person changed and how did this change come about (e.g. gratitudes, etc) Groete, Karin (“Nirakia”) South Africa
Maria from USA
Dear Croz, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sending me the SOGRIPE, your input, explanation and details have helped me clarify many areas that were vaguely understood. Around Oct /07 I purchased the book by Mr Wattles, I tried to grasp what I read but found it difficult. In mid December I googled it and found this wonderful world of SOGR. Rebecca Fine is amazing but so are you. My life has soooo improved & my inner self.... I feel happiness, truly happy, at times I wonder where it stems from, deep down I know it has to do with the SOGR, my way of thinking is shifting and I am beginning to see results. I must admit small but results nonetheless. . Mr Croz, I have faith and I believe that I will receive.....at times though I wonder how should I visualize money, is there any specific way? And I want the "Action" part more specific, here is where I get confused, I don't know what SOGR means by "Action". All your suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated, I am Committed to this extraordinary certain way. Thank you, Maria
DARREN from Auckland
Hi Croz, look forward to getting the book... And THANKS for your uplifting (but challenging sometimes) newsletters - I love getting them! You're right - we shouldn't ignore our negative thoughts as they are the driver to improving our lives. How can you know where you need to improve if you aren't somewhat dissatisfied? So for me the revelation from your email is that you can think positively about your negative thinking! Darren from Auckland
Hillary via internet
Hi Croz Thank you much for your inspiration from all your posts on Rebecca's website. Bless you and Thank you!! I am interested in receiving the book in "plain english". I know a few people who were unable to grasp the original version simply because of the language and know that your version will help them. Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2008 and beyond and please keep up your good work. You have added to this world immeasureably. Best, Hillary
Julia USA
Hi Croz, I just got your latest newsletter, and man you are SO RIGHT ON-and I didn't realize until now why SOGR has been working so well for me. Currently, I am mentoring two young women using the philosophy of SOGR who are living with me-and we are a GROUP! It is so COOL to realize this!!
Jon Perth Western Australia

Bridgette Brooklyn USA
Great newsletter about forgiveness Croz, and solidifies what I have always believed. Whenever someone does something that is clearly wrong and everyone thinks that revenge in the answer I always say, “I can’t punish this person more than he/she has already done to themselves.” I don’t pollute my world by bothering to seek any revenge or vindication because I know it is firmly in the universe’s hands to handle. And this is why I have such rich and abundant friendships. Great story and a wonderful reminder. Thanks All the very best,
Cindy Australia
Dear Croz A thankyou for your last newsletter , a large chink has appeared in the haze and things are a bit clearer for me after some rumination on your words. You write with a humanity, humility and understanding that just resonates and sets heads nodding 'yeah ! Well, another 'Yeah' from here , thankyou. Cindy.
Holly USA
WOW CROZ!!! I just read your unbelievable story...it's amazing how you have turned such a negative into a superpower positive!! Keep your newsletters coming - I LOVE THEM! Holly

Hi Croz Thank you, I was in such a mess. It just seemed that I could not see the tunnel, let alone the light at the end of it. Your simple destress ideas and analogies, have turned my life around. I now visit Worry Free Island on a regular basis, it is sometimes all I need to just let me think clearly. I am eternally grateful. Mike.

I just receved a second newsletter from you and want to tell you that it is GREAT. It's like you've written it for me.
Alan Dench Kingston Surrey UK
Hi Croz I just had to write and say a BIG thank you to you for hanging in with me. I know it took a while for me to fully understand the concepts of SOGR, but now I am flying. There is so much going on all of a sudden regards SOGR that it seems that everyone is now an expert. I would like to say that your no nonsense style and approach to teaching these concepts is second to none and the way that you find anecdotes and analogies to cover every aspect ,makes learning it so much easier. My business has grown in the last 6 months and the turnover has exceeded my expectations by at least 40%. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. Once again, sincere thanks Alan
Harry Netherlands
Hi Croz Just a quick note to say thank you for all your help.Your simple direct advice and explanations, have really turned our relationship around. I still feel a little unsure as to whether this is a long term fix. I will keep you posted. Once again Thank you Harry
UPDATE FROM M.
Hi Croz! On Jan 3/07 I was preparing myself to go out, suddenly walking toward the kitchen I notice it was dim picture, almost disappears from my view and the realization comes to me as not being able to recognized my own kitchen or mind. This was not my place and then comes the sense that my thoughts does create everything; and not to be afraid of my own thoughts. So, from there on I decide to have happy pictures on the present tense, with daily affirmations like: I am grateful I already have seen on the invisible level what is to be manifest on the visible plane on this day; or I Now believe I can only receive what is include in my CMP- Clear Mental Picture. I now am creating inner peace, therefore awareness every moment. I can not even recognized myself, I am so happy. The external affairs are running under calm waters. It is a miracle. I only can feel and sense things are wonderful and magical. People are coming toward me with theirs problems thinking I am going to resolve it for them. I do not worry much about it, I know people do have their own home work to do. I just am full of wondering, following daily my own intuitions and hunches. Writing to you was one of these hunches. I now have a lot time on my hands and am able to move around without external resistances from him. He goes along based on what I say, therefore I watch my words by telling a nice history of spiritual improvement that I reared from somebody else on the net, so he grabs what is best, turn around to reflect on his own and returns back toward me with serenity and calm. All these is happening thanks to you and my efforts to stick with my Inner Divine Design! I keep on smiling! M.
I FINALLY GOT IT
Hi Croz So I am going to try to verbalize what this past week has been like for me the best I can, however I am hardly worried if I make sense considering you have always managed to read me well between the lines. The best way I can start is by giving you an example, the moment that the fear was overridden by the faith was when I ultimately decided to make the most of every moment. High tide, so to speak, in my life was getting higher and higher to the point that situations I was facing were bigger and grander than my puny little mind could come up with to solve. You have NO idea how grateful I am for the whirlwind that let into my life!!! I was on the ropes and during a moment of complete overwhelm I simply heard a voice that said to me “make the most of every moment and all will be ok.” In that moment I began and stopped worrying about what was going on outside of me and purely focused my energy on me and who I was in every moment, and you know what? Things magically turned around…no surprise to you of course. Am I my CMI? Well yes and no. I don’t have the fancy car, the new apartment, more money than I could spend in a lifetime. But I have something even bigger than all of that…I have myself. For the first time in my life I am living in my life. Before, sure I lived my life, but from outside of myself, scrambling and fighting to get all the ducks in a row. And while I worked diligently with you, I realized that there was always that key piece missing…I was always working on the attainment of something outside of myself and not realizing it. Sure I worked on myself but my self work was ‘in order to’ get something out of it in the end. There is a tremendous difference in that and one that I am only seeing now. Your call out to me that I always create problems in my life to solve was a huge thing for me to notice and the impetus that started this all rolling. It caused me to become more present and responsible but it also made me realize how much of my own control had more to do with remaining feelings of a lack of self worth. I needed the chaos in order to feel like I was worth something. I competed and saw that the more I was wrong with myself the more I wronged or took something away from somebody else. I needed things outside of myself to validate my existence because I couldn’t validate it on my own. I started telling ugly truths on myself but most importantly I started forgiving them and I started to love the perfection that I am right now…all of it! The more I felt this way, the less I needed from things or people outside of myself, I felt full up just by feeling that I was full on my own. It’s incredible how once you find your peace within yourself the rest of it doesn’t seem to matter as much. I don’t feel like I NEED anything or that I am at a lack for anything. I find myself totally moved to tears at the bigness of my life, and as I increase my ability to love myself I ultimately love others and my life around me more. Do I desire a bigger home, more money in the bank and all those things? Of course I do, but I get what Wally said about (am I am grossly misquoting) that it is all about having more things to enable you to express yourself on a larger scale. I don’t NEED these things to feel worthy or valuable or alive I already am. Yes, life gets interesting and there are moments that it is dull or the subway doesn’t come when I want it too or I start to feel the vibrations of trying to control a situation. But you know, those feelings are often fleeting because really they don’t matter and in an instant they often wane after I have connected to making more out of the moment I am living in. I see obstacle as opportunity now. I am more open and generous with others, I honor people and situations around me with the same amount of love I give myself, and like yourself…the toothpaste tube in the middle being squeezed hardly even bothers me. Giving up the control has been such a relief! You know Croz, this whole journey for me wound up being about so much more than what I expected it would be. The greatest thing I got out of this was I got me and that is more priceless than any riches in the world. While ***** was walking to the kitchen last night I looked at him and I thought about how sure I was that I wanted to spend my life with him and how I couldn’t imagine ever doubting that. I tell you this because I have learned that there are just things you know, you don’t wonder, you don’t waver or question or try to understand or figure out and until this point my journey with you has always had that little bit of unsure ness, but now…I just know. So Croz, that sums it up for me now. Interesting happened while writing this. A colleague who I do business with emailed me. First he told me that he needed to reschedule an appointment that we had tonight and I hadn’t even remembered that we had it (TFW took care of that) but even bigger, I had emailed him while in “ Old me mood ” I had offered some ideas of how we could increase our business. After I sent it I didn’t feel good about that email because I saw how it went right up against everything I had learned here and how instead of trying to do something like that it should unfold naturally. Well his email back to me with his feelings about my suggestion matched mine and it also gave me the opportunity to restate my new feelings now which was “let’s keep going with the great thing we have and watch it unfold perfectly as it should.” I thought about the situation you and I were in a few weeks ago and how I was going to email everyone that piece you wrote but then thought to ask (TFW went back and took care of things) and thank you FW you did the same for me here! God I love this stuff. Croz, words cannot even come close to describing the gratitude I feel for everything you have given me, you helped me find me. I feel that I can officially declare our mentoring a success and complete and I must say that my only sadness in saying that I will miss your mentoring and your emails and you. However, I feel that just because I feel mentoring with you has been a success that our connection does not have to end. I just look forward to updating you on how rockin’ my life is. Thank you Croz! I am with nothing but gratitude! All the very best,
Graham. Perth , Western Australia.
Thank you. My wife and I would like to say that your advice and discussions, over the past 6 weeks have been an eye opener. I think that the way you seem to relate our problems with personal experiences is really good. Everything that you have said becomes believable after a while, we seem to be having much more good things happening in our lives, since locking in to your law of attraction theory. My wife was very sceptical at first and took a week or so to start really listening, I think that she has benefited the most. Our business has taken on a new era after talking to the staff in the way you suggested. I think we may get a talk organised where you can come and give them some tips. All in all I feel that we have totally reorganised our outlook on life, and have got rid of some very wierd ideas and values that we had hidden in our brain. Out with the old and in with the new. Croz many many thanks for your help and guidance, and if as you say we will, we fall off the horse, we will be straight back, so that you can get us back in the saddle. I like the fact that you said each time we fall off, we will not fall as far. Many blessings Graham and Sue By the way Graham it is NOT my theory, it is a universal law. Croz

I am shocked, I applied for a ticket to Worry Free Island, more as a joke than anything else. I have been very stressed lately and I thought that your exercise would be just another free web offer, and not really have any value. I would like to thank you for your help. At first I could not see how it would make any difference, but I did exactly as it said, and I can tell you that I felt great. I still feel stressed but I can take myself off to the Island and have a break whenever I want. Is there a follow up to Worry Free Island? Thats powerful stuff. Do you have any advice for keeping the feeling you get during the two days? Thanks again Danny
Update from Bill
Today and yesterday were great! I followed your advice to the letter! I should know better by now than to worry!!! Thanks again, B
Bill Conshohocken P.A. U.S.A.
Thank you again, Croz! I do have a pretty clear vision of what I want, but it will need fine tuning. I'll put it in writing this week. Naturally, my "vision" includes a lot, business, personal, etc. I may need some guidance from you on how to put it in writing properly. Orderly. It's a lot to try and think of at once, if you know what I mean. My experience these past few days, has been like a giant weight has been lifted from my neck! I feel less "clogged up!" Does this make sense? It's almost like I'm saying, "Screw it....." to everything, but I'm not. I just ask the FW and he'll take care of the rest. I feel like I'm playing hooky from school! THIS IS FRIGGIN' GREAT!!! Talk to you soon!

Hi Croz I don,t know how I found your site, but I'm sure glad I did. After many years of confusion and stress I am now a new man. I was surprised at how accurate you were when you said I was afraid if what my Dad would think, even though he has been dead for five years. Having cleared that blockage and fine tuning other parts of my life, I feel like a new man. I have had a promotion since talking to you and my partner says it is like having a new husband. My sincere thanks for your help and I hope I don't need to talk again, but if I do I will be straight back, and not leave it five years next time. Do you think Dad likes my new car? Clifford Pasadena

Croz Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! That was just the wake up call I needed. You are right, I was sinking in my own self pity, and the more I felt sorry for myself the worse it got. The exercises you gave me have helped me look at the future with new eyes. You are most perceptive and I will continue to take advantage of your help.
Wesley Santa Monica CA
Hi Croz I cannot believe how good I feel today. It is like magic, yesterday I was all bitter and twisted and today I feel reborn. The advice you gave regards peoples comments,"Do not catch the ball" will live with me for ever. I really feel that what you said about happiness is true.It is up to us, I also liked "no one can make you happy", and "no one can make you sad", but it takes the same amount of energy to produce both emotions. Great really great! Thank you for putting it all in perspective. Wesley
Bridgette Raes, Brooklyn New York
There are many people who read and understand the Science of Getting Rich and then there are others who live it and reap the tremendous benefits of the book. Croz is one of them. He is inspiring, not only because of the success he has had in his own life through the teachings of this book, but he inspires others to have the same level of success and his commitment to that is astounding. What he wants for himself he truly wants for everyone which is abundance for all. All the very best, Email dated 17/7/06 This was SUCH a great experience!!! I am SO glad I did this, I needed to do this…I needed to JUMP! I woke up this morning after sleeping on all that we have been talking about and all I knew was that I had to just do something, it was time to leap. I needed to do something that I couldn’t stop once I started, that is why I chose to set up future bank payments that I couldn’t back out on. I didn’t want to have any outs. So when I was sitting there, staring at my computer ready to click “submit” of the bills I scheduled to pay it was like I was standing on the ledge of a diving board and all I heard was you in my head saying, “Jump, take this leap of faith…do it, do it.” And it was like I was on the ledge saying, “I am scared, but I want to do it.” and you saying, “Look, I can’t push you off the edge, you have to take the leap of faith, but you will be ok!!!” And, voila…I jumped. Immediately following I was like freaked a bit but soon afterwards I felt fantastic, alive, expectant and grateful. This is exciting!!! This really is living! Some people bungee jump, do extreme sports to get that rush…heck all I needed to do was this. I have never felt more alive! I am worry free and I love it! I feel on top of the world! I feel like I don’t have to worry about anything ever again. What a relief. I want you to know Croz that up to this moment, I have spent the past few weeks shedding many tears of frustration, worry, anxiety, dread, panic… Right now I am shedding tears of gratitude and relief so much so that I am reduced to tears of joy. http://www.bridgetteraes.com

“Hi Croz – just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us . It has been a difficult 7 months for us with Greg having Cancer and having to deal with every day life as well as what chemotherapy and radiation throws at you. You are a brick and your straight up approach to life is so refreshing, comforting and supportive. I am so glad that you sent me that first email and offered your help. For that we are indeb to you for life. . Every morning we wake up and turn the computer on waiting for your response to our everyday questions and you never let us down. We have never met you but feel like we have known you for life. I feel whatever we say is just not enough for what you have done for us. We are honoured to have you in our life’s and hope that when we have finished our life lessons that our correspondence does not. Life is a journey – thank you for being with us. Love light and laughter. And I mean that from the bottom of our hearts. You are a wonderful person and I hope that one day I can give you a big hug

Dear Croz I cannot believe how different I feel after just one meeting with you, and thank you for the vacation to worry free island.
Alan, Mandurah Western Australia
I always thought that this mind stuff was rubbish, after your seminar I have looked at it totally differently. You seem to have a knack at relating it all to real situations and events. It really is a lot clearer and I will definitely write to you for some help if I need it.
Xanthe, Osborne Park. W.A.
Croz Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I do not know what I would have done if you had not helped me sort out the mess I had got into with my business. It all seemed so obvious when you explained it to me. I think a 6 monthly check up would be a good idea, do you do such a thing? Once again thank you.
Peter, Mirrabooka. W. Australia
Hi Croz Just a quick line to tell you how much my staff enjoyed the talk. There seems to be a buzz in the office and everyone appears so much more friendly. How long will that last? Hope to see you soon.
