In the pages of this book Craig MacFarlane tells a remarkable story and shares the incredible lessons his experience taught him. Craig takes the amazing story of his success and uses it as a backdrop to demonstrate the framework that has led to a successful, enviable life. To appreciate this book, you need to understand that Craig MacFarlane is totally blind. The victim of a horrible tragedy at the age of two that cost him his eyesight, Craig has forged an awesome life. Treating his total loss of eyesight as nothing more than a minor inconvenience, Craig proceeded to become the World’s Most Celebrated Totally Blind Athlete, using his athletic opportunities as the vehicle to establish himself in the “sighted” world and as the launching pad for an impressive 30 year career in the world of business. In his trademark modest and self-effacing style, Craig has written an autobiography that isn’t so much about him as it is about you. The stories of Craig’s accomplishments, which include winning more than 100 gold medals (the majority against sighted competition) to winning multiple National Championships in both Canada and the United States, to representing Canada and the United States and winning on the World stage, to winning the U.S. National Blind Snow Skiing Championship to Water Ski Jumping at Cypress Gardens to shooting 91 in golf, only serve as the backdrop for a greater message as Craig shares the lessons he learned and how he applied them. Those lessons, those principles, became the foundation that led to his noteworthy career as an internationally renowned Keynote Inspirational Speaker. From the big stage of the Republican National Convention to innumerable international Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 business conferences and conventions to almost 3,000 high schools on three continents, Craig has demonstrated the principles he will challenge you to incorporate into your life. Success, of course, is a highly personal thing and to Craig that also includes being the best husband, father and friend he can be. You will quickly realize that the same principles and lessons that lead to business success also lead to a great life and Craig’s world personifies this message every day. The stories in this book will enthrall you. They will grip you. They will entertain you. They will tug at your heartstrings and make you laugh while holding you on the edge of your seat. Even more, they will test you. The stories are real, they are dramatic, they are genuine. The lessons they teach are powerful, significant and potentially life changing, for those who take them seriously. Prepare to be entertained and enlightened as you enjoy this awesome experience. You are about to see the principles of success in a whole new light. You will find yourself inspired to raise the bar in your life and do more with the opportunities in front of you with greater appreciation of what you already have. Don’t study this book, enjoy it. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Craig’s message and he will truly elevate your senses, taking you from having eyesight to having vision. Ultimately, Craig’s message will teach you how to benefit from the profound wisdom that comes from true self awareness, or as he calls, Inner Vision.
