The successes of John Hyland have established him as the pre-eminent motivational speaker to, and for, entrepreneurs. Mr. Hyland is now publishing a series of books, due out soon, about personal finance and how to produce golden eggs.

The first book is unofficially titled “I'm OK, you're not OK...Financially Speaking” and it will focus on making practical changes in our everyday lives that will dramatically change our finances. This book will feature the “three reasons why Americans buy”, which are “Need”, “Want”, and the often overlooked “To profit from”—getting money to work for us to create more wealth is the central premise of the book.

Another major theme in this book is that there are only two ways to sell something, an idea first promulgated by financial speaker Jimmy S. Nevertheless, the book holds that these ideas will revolutionize the process of business-decisions all over the nation and world.
