Four – Improve Your Lot
“Your potential is infinite when you are always learning, always trying, always believing in you and your Golden Threads.”
“It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are or what you do. You could be the CEO of a FTSE 100 company; you could be unemployed. It doesn’t matter how old you are, what your qualifications are or what your experience of the working world has been. Strength to Strength will show you how to put every aspect of your life into balance.”
Strength to Strength: Make Your Life Unbreakable
The bad news: as the economy tumbles from one crisis to another, the general mood is one of discontentment. Divorce enquiries are going up, careers are crumbling and repossessions are rising. For many people, life has become more difficult.
The good news: learn to draw upon your Golden Threads and you can transform your life for the better – whatever your circumstances or surroundings.
In this book authors Marc Thompson and Barry Purcell, drawing upon their winning strategies, tools and personal stories, show you how your Golden Threads can take you from where you are to where you dream of being.
It is divided into eight sections: The Learning Threads, The Health Threads, The Spiritual Threads, The Family Threads, The Relationship Threads, The Time Threads, The Career Threads and The Wealth Threads.
Some books are all about thinking, rather than doing. Not this one! Every chapter closes with strategies that build upon your own experiences and ambitions. Action points and worksheets speed your progress towards new achievements.
- Strength to Strength is filled with upbeat messages and action-packed ideas . Once you pick it up, it is difficult to put down.
- Strength to Strength reveals how the authors experienced failures and setbacks before turning their lives around using the principles outlined in Strength to Strength. Both men are from ordinary backgrounds: they say that if they can do this, so can anyone.
- Strength to Strength is a practical programme that – as numerous stories and case studies demonstrate – really works.
The simple truth is that if you are willing to change, you don’t have to settle for second-best. If you want to improve upon who you are and what you have in life, this is the book for you.

Three – Turn Fear And Failure To Your Advantage
“Life has its ups and downs but here in the UK, we have a terrible attitude to failure. There is still a great stigma attached to setbacks such as going out of business, getting divorced, losing money or being made redundant. Sadly, this means that we often translate simple setbacks into crushing defeats.
“You cannot see into the future or know what lies around the corner – but what you can do is develop a resilient attitude that will stand you in good stead for all your tomorrows. If you do not fear failure, you will be more willing to experiment with new ideas and you will not be afraid to embrace unfamiliar and exciting opportunities.”
Strength to Strength: Make Your Life Unbreakable
Marc Thompson and Barry Purcell avoid the “I’m it, you’re sh**” approach common to other authors in this genre. Instead they are frank about their own ups and downs and reveal how ordinary people like you and me can transform our own lives.
Marc was born in Bradford and left school aged 15. Alone on his 32nd birthday, he looked at the sawn-off shotgun he kept for his own protection and realised that his life was going nowhere. After walking away from everything he had – a decision that left him homeless, friendless and deeply in debt – Marc drew upon the principles and ideas that he has now outlined in Strength to Strength. He went on to find professional success and personal fulfilment, founding a successful telecoms company and selling it in 2008 for a multi-million pound sum. He lives with his wife and young son, in a house purchased from a Premiership footballer.
Barry hit rock bottom after suffering a nervous breakdown aged 20. When he tried to speak, he couldn’t get the words out. His hands shook. Before long, his hair began to turn white. Using the principles and ideas that he explores in Strength to Strength, Barry was able to turn his life around. He has been happily married for 26 years and his family-run business has a multi-million pound turnover.

Two – Transform Your Life
“When seeking to develop yourself spiritually, it is all too easy to become insular. It is tempting to bleach out the world around you and turn in upon yourself, as if you are the only person in your life. But if you do so, you limit your scope for personal development.”
Strength to Strength: Make Your Life Unbreakable
Strength to Strength is packed with tips, tools, practical exercises, worksheets, case studies and personal experiences. It has everything you need to change your life for the better.
The book is divided into eight sections:
- The Learning Threads. Even the smallest of actions, which may not seem life changing or even important at the time, can create or strengthen a Learning Thread in your life. If you intend to fulfil your potential and become the best that you can possibly be, a never-ending search for knowledge must become one of your primary values. In this section you will learn how to turn failure to your advantage and make long-term investments in yourself. The Golden Threads Learning Diary will help you to fill your mind with new opportunities, actions and experiences. You will sense the beginnings of a transformation.
- The Health Threads. Improvements to your eating habits and exercise regime can enrich other areas of your life. This section explores the various ways in which eating and exercise improve your brain as well as your body. It provides a no-nonsense guide to overhauling your kitchen cupboards, shopping list and fitness levels. You will be given exercise programmes, including the Golden Threads Playing Card Workout. Worksheets allow you to monitor your progress. Getting started is the hardest part – so you will also be taught how to keep yourself motivated.
- The Spiritual Threads. Your sense of self is at the centre of all that you are and all that you do. This is probably the most challenging section of Strength to Strength, but arguably the most important. Throughout your life there will often be times when you need to draw upon your inner strength. Worksheets will train your focus upon your own happiness, past and present. You will discover how to mix positive, transformative actions into your daily life. You will also learn how to find happiness and fulfilment in hitherto hidden places.
- The Family Threads. Family members have a prominent role to play in your happiness. In this section, you will learn how to strengthen family relationships and gain maximum value from one another’s company.
- The Relationship Threads. The people in your life help to define you, by influencing your thoughts and actions. In this section you will be taught how to develop productive new relationships that are key to your future success. Meeting new people can be a nervewracking experience, so you will learn how to fight the fear factors. Worksheets and prescribed actions will also help you to evaluate and improve your current relationships.
- The Time Thread. Fail to plan and you plan to fail. With a greater number of tasks, activities and goals to be fitted into your allotted time, how can you improve your productivity levels? Worksheets will evaluate how well you use your time, and you will learn advanced activity management skills. This section also includes essential time management tools, such as the Golden Threads Life Journal, to boost your productivity to an all-time high.
- The Career Threads. Everyone has these. They get you up in the morning, keep you up late at night and are reasons for being, doing and having. So if work is so important to us, why do so many people hate their jobs? This section assesses your suitability for your current career. A series of detailed worksheets provide “guideposts” to a new career, helping you to identify your talents and directing your exploration of career roles within that field. You will also create a plan of action to make your dream career a reality.
- The Wealth Threads. Learn how to improve your financial situation. This section isn’t a “get rich quick” guide: rich is a feeling, not an amount of money. What you will learn is how to overcome the barriers to wealth and safeguard your finances. Worksheets and action plans will show you how to extract maximum value from your money.
