Bryan Hurlbut, Author of 'Making It Count,' Says 'Best Investment Is a Wake-up
Call'
Experience Is Worth More Than Money

SALINA, Kan., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- While the stock market continues to
plummet, and you are watching your retirement shrink to its lowest point in
five years, you don't have to suffer a complete loss. Bryan Hurlbut, author of
Making It Count: Putting Meaning Back in Business and Relationships
(ISBN 1-934454-13-3, Synergy Books) encourages people to "Use this experience
as a wake-up call. Have you strayed away from your most valuable investment?
Focus on your family and friends during trying times. Lost money, increased
debt and potential or real loss of retirement funds should not devastate you.
There is much more to life than finances. We have valuable assets in our
relationships that need encouragement, nurturing and security. The best
investment you can make now is in a wake-up call because its dividends will
continue to pay off well after this crisis has passed."
Bryan Hurlbut covers topics of life, business and relationship in Making
It Count with the hope of rebuilding the lost honor, value and meaning in his
readers' lives. "It's never too late to adjust your thinking. When your life
is near its end, your friends and family will be the only things that matter -
- money will not be a thought. Only those that you've helped and hurt will be
on your mind."
    To help you through this current mess, Hurlbut offers the following steps:
    1. Get your eyes off yourself. Others need you. You need others. Focus on
those around you and give to their needs -- whether emotional or financial.
Yes, make good self-preserving decisions. However, once you have shored up
your dam, offer to help on someone else's.
    2. Do not quit. No matter what the outcome may be, no financial loss or
trial is worth giving up. Ride it through. When the dust settles, you will
still have a future that can be more enjoyable than your past.
    3. Have faith. Believe in something intangible. Now is a great time to
exercise this often unused gift. Just because you may not be able to see what
lies ahead doesn't mean it's bad. Have faith. Invest in your relationships
today and see what valuable thing comes out the other side of tomorrow.
    Making It Count is available through Amazon, Baker & Taylor, Barnes &
Noble, Borders, Ingram, and at fine bookstores nationwide.
