—————————————————————————————

At Brutally Honest, we strive to provide a varying amount of formats to allow the user to participate in a manner that best suits their individual needs.  We have learned either that while some individuals prefer a one on one experience, others prefer to participate by phone or by video because of convenience, geographic location or that, the live format simply may not fit their personality preference.  Additionally, as is written in the Brutally Honest Life Management Journal, each individual has unique learning styles.  Some are auditory (they learn best by hearing), some visual (learn best by seeing), some kinesthetic (they learn best by feeling) or any combination of the above.  Whatever your style or preference, there is a format for you.  The following is an overview of some of the services and products that are/will be available.   The following is listed from least interaction to the most.  Enjoy!  

1) The “Brutally Honest Life Management Journal”

The Brutally Honest Life Management Journal is perhaps the first Self Help book ever written that truly allow “SELF” help.  Most books profess to allow the reader to do a whole host of things but inevitably leave the reader with more questions than answers.  They tell the reader to “do as I do” and follow what they have done in an attempt to have the reader achieve the same results. While there is a chance of this occurring, more often than not it does not because the author’s circumstances, geographic location, physical, mental, emotional makeup and all of the other factors that separate us as human beings simply do not match that of the reader.  For example, if an Olympic gold medal power lifter wrote a book on how to win a gold medal in power lifting, it is unlikely that most readers, no matter how dedicated, will be able to attain the same results.

Brutally Honest is different, radically different. For many years, the author’s have successfully used the techniques written about in the Brutally Honest Life Management Journal to transcend the lives of countless individuals utilizing an in person, one on one, format.  In that format, we can observe visual, verbal, auditory, gustatory cues as well as a whole host of things relating to body language, tone, tempo and the like. While this is no doubt the best way to implement the techniques, the challenge and  mission in creating the  Brutally Honest Life Management Journal  was to create a book that would allow the reader to come as close as possible to the same results achieved in a one on one format.  How did we do this?  Over the course of several years, the unique features contained within the Brutally Honest Life Management Journal came to life.  The final product transcends anything written by truly allowing the reader to take a magical journey to reconnect with themselves, to break through barriers, reflect on the past, assess the present and create dynamic, empowering Brutally Honest Target Zones for the future.

The Brutally Honest Life Management Journal can be purchased by clicking the link contained within this site, from Amazon.com or through Barnes n Nobles.com.

2) The “Brutally Honest Daily Journal”

Having finished the Brutally Honest Life Management Journal, the reader will find himself or herself in a radically different, empowering state.  Like the worlds most fun, exciting and thrilling roller coaster, the reader finds himself or herself having taken a similar journey to the inner depths of their Soul…their “Souls Core”.

For a limited time only, all readers of the Brutally Honest Life Management Journal can receive a free, downloadable copy of the Brutally Honest Daily Journal.  This Daily journal contains both new, bonus content, in addition to a fully printable journal to track your progress with Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly pages.  Unlike other “fill in the blank” journals, which only capture your thoughts, the Brutally Honest Daily Journal allows you to both capture your thoughts but also quantify each day through several categories, which will truly allow you to gauge your progress on a daily, monthly and yearly basis.  It provides a mechanism to allow the user to stay on track, get back on track when life throws you an inevitable hurdle and most importantly creates a lasting legacy for yourself or any other recipients that you choose to leave it to.

8)  The Founders Club “The Ultimate Experience”

You are about to be invited to take part in one of the most revolutionary, earth shattering programs ever to be shared.  Are you an individual that benefits best by participating, one on one, in person?  This limited offering allows you unfettered access to the founders in an environment that allows for the best use of all senses in a highly tailored, dynamic, one on one experience that is unmatched.  The Brutally Honest techniques that are utilized are the culmination of over forty years of combined research into the area of personal success. With a marked commitment to excellence, the founders have now made available these secrets to a few select individuals.

The  principles that you will learn during this one on one experience will not only empower you, but your entire family as well as you share with them what you have learned, thereby creating positive ripples extending to infinity. These techniques have been used to save lives, reunite families, and create dreams.

The Founders have studied and researched thousands of different books, seminars and audios in the area of success, motivation and self-improvement. This study has given the founders thousands of year’s worth of proven success theory, which will be applied, to the individual. How long would it take you to replicate this same thing?  In an environment that allows for full immersion, the individual will exponentially multiply the learning effect.  Is this method for everyone? No.  To engage the senses of the individual and to fully allow the individual to change their current state, the founders utilize all of the tools in their collective arsenal to guide the individual to new heights, to THEIR Brutally Honest Target Zones!

The Founders have dedicated their lives to achieving peak performance, having helped hundreds of individuals from all occupations realize their dreams, and have designed a system that is without comparison as it is specifically tailored to the INDIVIDUALS needs, not societies.  You see, while the founders strongly believe in the power of reading self improvement books and attending seminars, there is however a reason why most readers who purchase these types of books, seminars etc., begin motivated but quickly revert back to where they were before beginning the book or attending the seminar, and sometimes go even further backwards, only to get hyped by the next marketing idea, and so on, and so on, etc.

For perhaps the first time in your life, you will see what your failures are, you will see what your problems are, and you will do something about them.  Throughout the Brutally Honest program, you will feel hurt at times, criticized, and often will think, “How dare they say that about me.”  Personally, we do not care whether you like us; hate us, or anything in between.  The bottom line is that its time to be real.  Its time to face the Brutally Honest truth, and do something about it… TODAY!!!   Being honest with yourself, and truly being “Brutally Honest,” will make you feel better about yourself, lessen anxiety, and make you feel free.  Free from whom you ask.  Free from yourself! When are creator decides it is time to go someday and takes us from this earth, what scorecard will you be judged by?  Do you think it will really matter that you felt bad that you could not do things, or that if you had another chance you would do it?  Did you feel like you weren’t strong enough for a certain task?  Not good looking enough?  On the other hand, do you blame others and say that someone else took something that you wanted, or that someone else told you that you could not do something? It is easy to blame others or society for your problems.  This is what the mainstream conventional wisdom will have you believe.  Its’ the economies fault. There are no jobs out there. The government is causing me problems. At Brutally Honest, we shatter this copout and focus in on reality.  If you are failing, you have you to blame. Simple! If you are not making enough money, it is only you who are at fault.  While it is often painful to admit this, it is only when you come to grips with these truths, during the “breakdown Phase”, that you can begin to design YOUR life plan.  Brutally Honest embraces reality and has at its heart the reuniting of the person with himself or herself. Often this reunion has been many years in the making.

Most self help products  on the market look great, are colorful and make amazing claims to do everything from curing depression, losing tons of weight overnight, making millions of dollars etc.  While the claims are often found to be true for that author, unless you can match apples to apples and all of the criteria of the author matches that of the reader, the reader is often left with the empty feeling of having read about how the author achieved amazing results, while the reader could not come close to achieving the same results.  Why is this?  Quite simply, what works for one author who may be a trust fund baby with no job, living out in their beach house on the West coast, does not necessarily work for a single mother or father of five, working two jobs to feed their Children?  Seeing this significant gap in hundreds of programs, the founders of Brutally Honest developed their system to combat this inadequacy to first clearly define what it is the individual needs, and not the author.   In this unique, one on one format, you will be forced to confront IMMEDIATELY the roadblocks that have been holding you back.  While others in your life may have been pacifying you and concurring with your excuses, we WILL NOT.  You will be made to be held accountable.

When you reach that inevitable time at the end of your life, and you look back over your life, you will not get a second chance.  However, I also know something else to be certain; you have a second chance, and that time is NOW!!!  Being Brutally Honest will truly transform your life.  It will transform your way of thinking, your way of approaching life, and it will free you from your inner restraints and self-doubt that invades your entire life. You may not be ready for this hardcore in your face approach to reshaping your life, however, I will promise you this; if you have the heart to stick with us, to truly be Brutally Honest and approach this as a way of life, miracles will happen.

Those individuals that take the step to be truly brutally honest will develop their own life plan, will create a bullet proof shield to deflect life’s challenges, create a mechanism that if the shield should be pierced, however slight, that they will develop a way to work through life’s inevitable problems and challenges.  To truly deflect criticism, blame, envy, greed, anxiety and continue forward towards your Life plan, with that inner person called “ambition” on your side.

Brutally honest is an in your face, no nonsense attack on the part of you that says “I can’t”, “no way”, or wants to give up.  The approach will get to that part of you, many levels down that controls your negative thoughts and patterns.   Then, and only then, at this most remote part of your being, at your “Souls Core”,  can you be built back up to design an unstoppable journey to your true destiny in life.  The place that every one else told you, you would never reach.  Once there, you will be overcome with the most incredible, satisfying feeling of accomplishment, and self-pride.  EMPOWERMENT. Once you taste this feeling, you will be programmed to want it again…, again…, and AGAIN.  You will do so on your journey to “UTOPIA”.

For a limited time, the founders of Brutally Honest will make available to a select group of individuals to participate in a life altering program know as the “Founders Club”.  This club is being made available to a limited number of select individuals personally interviewed and accepted into the club by the founders themselves.  This invitation will ultimately only be given to those individuals that posses the upper levels of drive, determination and self-discipline. The individuals will be given the opportunity to work one on one in various settings with the founders themselves, as a personalized program is custom tailored to the individual.  The founders charge tens of thousands of dollars for their services to their clients.  It is for this reason that their time is highly valued and sought out.  While the Brutally Honest system is also available in the many other formats listed above, to the public at large, by way of books, audios, seminars etc., this once in a lifetime opportunity will allow the individual the most personalized, individual attention in a setting that is most conducive to obtain results.  Only the most serious applicants will be considered.



As I lecture daily to family, friends, and clients, your life is the sum total of all of the parts, not just one of them. I call these parts Brutally Honest Target Zones. Imagine a pie that represents your whole life. Each slice represents the various areas of your life: family, finances, career, health, and other factors unique to you. When you are confronted with a perceived or real crisis, you typically zoom in on the one slice of the pie that is currently in crisis. It is easy to see how doing this would lead someone to feel depressed.

In working with these individuals, I get them to zoom out and look at the whole pie. Then I have them focus on what is going right as opposed to what is going wrong. After that, I have them zoom in on a slice that is going exceptionally well. Once there, I engage all their senses, asking them to describe the personal traits that helped them to create these positive results. I explain to them that these traits are like ingredients in a recipe. I tell them of my world-famous “cheesy omelet,” which my daughter loves me to make for her. The ingredients consist of two eggs, milk, spray oil, and cheese. These ingredients collectively make up the perfect omelet … or do they? Actually, they only make the perfect omelet if used in the right order and in the right amounts. If I throw the eggs on the ground, spray the oil in the air, and fry the cheese in the pan by itself, I won’t produce the ultimate omelet. By using the same ingredients, in the right amounts, in the right way, and in the right order, I perfectly replicate the ultimate omelet each and every time. Life works much the same way as creating the ultimate omelet. By asking a person to determine what ingredients make up the slice of life that is going very well and in what order to apply what quantities, we identify the makings for the ultimate slice of pie.

Once I’ve gone through this with someone, I have him or her zoom out again from the ultimate slice, look at the whole pie, and then zoom back in on the slice that is causing problems. We then simply apply the same ingredients from the ultimate slice (which, for example, may be courage, character, tenacity, commitment, or loyalty) to the troubled slice, in the same order and in the same quantities. This approach has helped countless individuals to begin the process-sometimes instantaneously-of correcting problem areas in their lives. When confronted with a problem or crisis, do you allow it to overtake your entire life or do you put it in perspective? Do you consciously visualize similar problems you have encountered in the past that you successfully overcame or do you dwell on the new crisis as if it is the end of the world?

Jim

Brutally Honest drives my life both personally and professionally. I started my career as an Electrical Engineer for General Electric and later was instrumental in the successful public offering of Ulticom Inc. (ULCM : NASDAQ). After taking Ulticom public I decided to take some time off to be with my family and work on the “non-corporate” side of Jim Grim”. It is this next journey that introduced me to Greg and helped me to hone my Brutally Honest skills and concepts.

My wife, Cyndii, and I purchased Ultimate Image Salon in Exton, PA in 2002 and we have spent the last seven plus years growing a wonderful business by implementing the straightforward concepts of Brutally Honest. Each day we actively communicate with our staff and work to grow them as people as well as professionals. By helping our staff find their passion that leads them to their Brutally Honest SOUL’s CORE it helps the entire company prosper. I feel that this is something that is really missing in many companies and in the world today.

When is the last time you lived your life following YOUR beliefs? When is the last time you really felt good about who YOU are and how YOU interact with YOUR family on a CONSISTENT basis? Trust me when I say that if you take the step to read and implement the contents of The Brutally Honest Life Management Journal your life and the lives of those around you will be enriched in ways you cannot imagine.

Every time I meet someone like you, I am more fulfilled and my life is enriched. Thank you for the privilege of having our paths cross.

At age fourteen, a time when most children are dealing with typical teenage issues like dating, acne, beginning high school, and a menagerie of other milestones, I was blessed-yes, blessed-with a diagnosis that has afforded me a life of lessons that have shaped my character, personality, drive, and being. While initially characterized as an enemy that invaded my body, over the years this enemy became an ally that I have embraced and vowed never to let overcome me. I have chosen to have it assist me, teach me, and guide me. Benign tumors, throughout many areas of my body, would debilitate me at times, causing me to be unable to walk or lift my arms. I experienced multiple bouts of radiation therapy; severe lethargy; thousands of hours in hospitals; hundreds of different doctor visits; innumerable hospital stays all over the East coast; tens of thousands of X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, mylegrams, bone scans, blood tests, pokes, and prods; multiple periods of disability; multiple surgeries; and a traveling army of pain that would cripple me at times. All this created an inverse effect on my brain, as it strengthened my resiliency and determination. Through my well-documented medical journey I may be able to help other children someday who are afflicted with a similar condition, as I am the test case for future generations and have been written up in medical journals.

They say that the mind represses those things that would cause pain if revealed. In the pages that follow, I reveal to you a year of my personal journal (a year where I went from performing martial arts, weightlifting and being close to 180 pounds to being operated on 4 times after being paralyzed from the waist down and unable to walk as a result of a tumor on the spinal cord, hospitalized for 2 months, long and extensive rehabilitation and a weight loss of over 40 pounds) in an effort to show firsthand how I have used my journal to capture, learn from, grow, and permanently memorialize significant life events that have shaped who I am. With minor exceptions, what follows are exact excerpts from my actual journal. As such, while some sections may appear repetitive or disjointed, I have left them that way for accuracy and accountability. While most entries were written on the date referenced, some of the entries were written after the fact out of necessity. Keep in mind that your journal is your journal. There is no correct format. Use the following as a guide only. It is with extreme reverence and respect that I share these pages with you…

Why we did this is an easy question to answer. The simple, Brutally Honest truth is that we both believe that if you do not mentor and help others, then the gift that God has given you stops. Despite our diverse and varied backgrounds, what has been paramount to each of us is helping as many people as possible achieve their hopes, dreams, and goals and imparting in them the passion and desire to go forth and to help as many people as they can, thereby insuring an ongoing ripple effect, which will expand exponentially into infinity…

Over the years, despite our initial differences, we discovered that we shared countless things in common, the core of this similarity being our unwavering belief in family, faith, and loyalty and an almost obsessive desire to help others. The ability to face and deal with adversity, to hold tight and let go, to think deeply and be whimsical, to plan a safe voyage step by step and plunge down the face of a wave all combined to forge the phenomenal friendship that has formed the backdrop of this book. We spent many hours together in a legal forum and through these countless hours of hearings and counseling, our stories began to unfold and our friendship deepened. Neither one of us had a silver-spoon life, and both of us had to overcome much adversity to get where we are today; however, both of us have consistently kept journals of our lives, and from those journals we were able to learn from our pasts and plan for our futures. Please remember that if your life is worth living, then it is worth recording.

Like a fine wine that has come of age, it is now time to tell our stories to the world. It is time to tell the world the straightforward, Brutally Honest principles that shaped our lives and brought us success. It is time to continue the Brutally Honest cycle and give to others so that the process can regenerate and continue. This may sound a bit out there to you right now, but-believe us-when you finish the journal you will understand the power of the statement….

What Is Brutally Honest?

The Brutally Honest system is the sum of the authors’ life experiences, work, passion, and the obstacles we have overcome. We designed a system to combat the type of failure experienced with mainstream self-help products. Brutally Honest consists of a revolutionary three-step process. As you work your way through this journal, you will also work your way through the three Brutally Honest steps.

In the first step, you will begin by narrowing in on, defining, and creating a crystal-clear picture of what it is you need and not what society says you need. This is the critical difference, what has transformed the lives of the authors’ countless clients, family members, and friends.

Step one, the Breakdown Phase, will lead you through an intense yet magical journey into the deepest reaches of your being, where you will ultimately reach your Soul’s Core. It is at this magical and illusive place where individuals are finally alone with their thoughts, where stereotypes don’t exist, peer pressure is gone, and guilt, marketing, and social pressures all disappear. Only once you arrive at Soul’s Core will you be ready to develop your individual and personal Brutally Honest Target Zones®. Target Zones are your personalized goals, which form figurative targets that you seek out, aim for, and unite with. Once you are at the Soul’s Core, the Brutally Honest system moves into overdrive in assisting you to clearly define your Brutally Honest Life Management Systems®.

Step two of the Brutally Honest system, unlike most self-help programs, incorporates all areas of your life and transcends to your family, friends, and associates by way of the positive energy that emanates from you. The Brutally Honest system is designed not only to be implemented by you but also to impact anyone else with whom you choose to share your newfound gifts. Whether it be a Family Law client who will now need to plan for their, and their Children’s new futures, or any other individual getting ready to combat any one of life’s many obstacles, Step two helps them gain clarity in defining these most crucial decisions and to chart a path to their attainment. It is through clarity where fear starts to be eliminated as one’s goals becomes more readily attainable.

Most programs find one family member attending an all-day or weekend seminar and coming home hyped-up and motivated. His or her family, however, not having gone through the same experience, is not able to fully appreciate what that person went through and doesn’t experience the same feelings. The authors have determined that one key component to creating a fulfilling life is the unity of the family. Using the Brutally Honest system generates true communication, perhaps for the first time in years, and families are energized in a common goal.

Lastly, once the life plan is solidified, step three, the journey to Utopia, begins. This journey to Utopia is an ongoing process to not only reach the goals set in one’s Brutally Honest Life Plan but also to learn the critical skills of self-evaluation as the journey unfolds. Most programs teach one how to set and achieve goals. While this is admirable, the reality is that no plan can be left unchecked. In the process of transcending through the Brutally Honest Life Plan, you will be taught how to define, evaluate, re-evaluate, and continue to improve your life. Most self-help systems end with the individual attempting to achieve his or her predetermined goals. We recognized, after years of practice and teaching, that things change in the real world-and change quickly. With the Brutally Honest program you are about to embark on, you will learn the skill of adaptation and develop the mind frame to react quickly to life’s curve balls. You will be ready and able to spread the word to others. One of the most rewarding activities we can do is to mentor others and make a real difference in someone’s life. Frankly, that is the reason Brutally Honest exists.

By undertaking the exercises throughout this journal and recording and writing down your answers, you will be able to measure where you have been, where you are presently, and where you want to go. This self-analysis forms the basis of Brutally Honest.
