Brisbane, Australia

Hi there:

My name is Kris Mills and I head up my own marketing business in Brisbane, Australia. What I'd like to do, is introduce you to an incredible study guide that has had a dramatic impact on the grades of thousands of students across Australia, and now the world. It's called "Your Future Success".

But before I do that, I felt it was important to give you an insight into this father-and-daughter team of Chris and Belinda Lang -- who co-authored Your Future Success. And just how the simple Study System set out in their book was born, refined, developed and put into effect ... over the past 30 years.

What I discovered took me by surprise!

Of recent times, I have worked very closely with Chris to help him in marketing his successful commercial property advisory firm in Melbourne. And to a lesser extent with his daughter, Binny, who recently returned from working in London.

Therefore, I've been able to observe first-hand the results of just how well the System has worked in their own lives.

However, until I became aware of their book, I had no idea what was actually behind those results. And more particularly: how the System Chris devised, was born out of his sheer desire to succeed -- being only a very average student himself.

Secondary school was the real struggle!

Having seen some of the reports Chris now turns out, it's hard to imagine he actually failed Year-11 English. However, back then, you were allowed to carry one subject. So, he simply proceeded on to Year 12.

By the end of that year, he had gained sufficient marks in all subjects except English, to give him a Compensatory Pass for Year 12. But the marks in his science subjects were not enough to gain him entry into university.

If the truth be known ... Chris preferred his cricket, football and athletics to serious study.

He went back and repeated Year 12 -- undertaking General maths, Geography, Economics and Australian history. And somehow, he cobbled together enough marks to gain entry into Economics at Monash Uni.

University learning differs greatly from School learning.

At school, you always receive plenty of handouts. But at Uni, there were lectures and loads of after-hours research in the library. All culminating in countless essays and reports -- which seemed like a daunting prospect for someone with only Year-10 English.

And so, Chris had to quickly come up with a clever way to ... Take Notes ... Study, and ... Pass Exams.

There simply had to be a better way!

Not being a very quick note-taker, Chris would look around the lecture theatres of some 200+ students, and observe that most were trying to literally record the lecturer's every word. But afterwards, when Chris would start to ask them questions, very few students could actually recall what was covered.

You see, they had taken down endless pages of notes; but had very little grasp of what had been said. So they would have to read through their notes afresh later just to understand the actual content of what they had written down.

To Chris, this seemed like a complete waste of time! By having to re-read their notes (word for word) in order to gain an initial understanding, it meant that time could not be used for wider reading, or regular revision.

That's when Chris came up with his unique, note-taking style -- which allowed him to only record things after he had listened to (and understood) the lecturer's point. As the result: his notes were of a style and layout, to make revision in a breeze; plus any extra information (gleaned from library reading) could be easily incorporated later.

After mastering Note Taking ... Revision was the next challenge.

If you're like most people, you will unwittingly spend most of your available time revising for those subjects you most enjoy. And that's your first big mistake!

Apart from the notes Chris took being very easy to revise, he also stumbled on the simple way to efficiently allocate his available revision time, as the exams approached. And, because of his method of regular revision, he no longer found himself cramming at the last moment -- which removed most of the usual pressure.

Handling the Exams themselves!

By asking lots of questions, and listening to what the lecturers and examiners will happily tell you, it's amazing what you can find out.

Not that they will divulge anything on the exam paper itself, but they'll let slip clues about ... what they look for in structuring answers; how they go about marking questions; and what really 'ticks them off'.

As such, Chris quickly made himself student of exam technique. And it is in this book ... Your Future Success ... that you discover everything Chris learned about tackling exams with confidence.

And does it work?

In his first year at Uni ... Chris went from being an average Year-12 student, to gaining a Distinction and two Credits. In fact, he was invited to join the Honours stream the following year.

Perhaps the only regret Chris might harbour, is not having had all of this available to him in Secondary school. Anyway, he kept all the notes about the Study System he had devised at Uni, and didn't really give them much further thought -- even though his method of Note-taking itself, has stayed with Chris all his working life.

There's something else you may not know: Chris has since authored four books on Property all of them sell-out successes.

However, it wasn't until Ross (his eldest stepson) was struggling with Year 11, that Chris dusted off those Study notes and began sharing what had worked for him some 20 years earlier.

For Ross, it was a revelation -- like a breath of fresh air! Not only did he comfortably pass Years 11 and 12, but he has since gone on to become a very successful stockbroker.

And when Simon (his second stepson) needed help with Year 11, Chris called on the Study System once more. As a result, Simon sailed through Year 12 and is now a Detective Sergeant in the police force.

Five years later ...

With his eldest daughter entering Year 11, Chris produced his Study System for only the third time since leaving Uni. And Binny was truly amazed!

You know how it is with teenage children ... they often have difficulty in believing their parents can come up with a clever idea. But to Binny, this seemed like 'break-through stuff'!

Not only did she quickly embrace the System and do well in her exams, but she also wanted to share this new discovery with her friends.

One thing led to another. With Binny's help in updating much of the original notes, and by adding a whole host of new and helpful material, Your Future Success finally emerged.

It is now up to you!

Whether you're reading this as a Student or as a parent, you may be wondering: "Will this book make me more academic?" Well, the answer is ... "Probably not!"

But will it make you a better student -- who was able to record concise Notes ... undertake efficient Study, and ... pass Exams with confidence? That answer is a resounding "YES!"

Why not join the thousands of other parents and students who have enthusiastically embraced, and owe their present success to, this ground-breaking book?

A small  $AU35.95 ($US25.25) investment could be the turning point in your life as a student.
