He liked that time period because there were no phone calls, no family interruptions, or any other distractions. During this time, Og wrote 吀栀e Greatest Salesman in the World. It was published, and then Richard DeVoss, chairman of Amway read it, loved it, and featured it to all of his multitudes of representatives. 吀栀e book wound up selling 38 million copies. 吀栀at’s how it happened for a man from New Hamp- shire who was struggling with a drinking problem. He stopped drinking and changed his drinking addiction to an inspired writing addiction. Brilliant books emerged. How did his life begin to turn around? It was a connection with books. It started when he walked into that library and read Clem Stone’s book. It continued when he began writing on his own. It accelerated into high gear when his book was published. Og ultimately got to live his passion: to write, travel, and speak full- time, wowing audiences everywhere. What his mother told him as a young boy was 昀椀nally coming to fruition: he would someday be a great writer. I have read and reread his inspiring books and encourage you to do the same. I recommend every one of Og’s great books to everyone. I predict that you will become a lifelong fan.
