I remember a long time ago, getting Star Power manuals in the mail.\u00a0 Big, 3 ring binders full of worksheets that I’d work out with fear and trembling.\u00a0 I remember getting star of the month stuff.<\/p>\n

I remember hearing stars, ordinary schmoes like Phil Herman–a former postman talk about what made him separate from the pack.\u00a0 I was hooked.\u00a0 There was a formula to this success stuff, and this guy went out and gathered it up.<\/p>\n
