Yen Tzu's Academy
There is a legend that tells of a famous Academy, now lost in the mountains of an Eastern Province. Founded some two and a half millennia ago by an immensely successful Patriarch, Yen Tzu, the School attracted the interest of great leaders, merchants, and individuals, from all over the ancient world; earnestly seeking the secrets of a new alchemy proven to deliver prosperity and well-being. Possibly a member of the inner circle of Taoist Sages, Yen Tzu would have been fully versed in the Metaphysical Wisdom of the Ancients. His paradoxical philosophy, therefore, would have certainly followed the way of self-mastery through individual inner understanding.
Over several generations the School’s acclaim grew through word of mouth, as each student, enlightened by their understanding of this new thinking, graduated. Such a level of understanding was certainly instrumental in Yen Tzu becoming Ancient China’s first commercial billionaire; though such success inevitably attracted the attention of an aspiring Emperor.
History records that in the year 213BCE almost all remnants of this ancient teaching were destroyed by the first Emperor of what we now consider to be geographical China:the ruthless Qin Shi Huang, famous for the army of life-size Terracotta Warriors guarding his mausoleum; unearthed in Lintong County, Shaanxi.
Viewing such teaching as a threat to the divine rule he had decreed, he was convinced that by destroying it no-one would question or usurp his dictatorship. Pursuing this policy to control society’s thinking, his brutal Prime Minister, Li Ssu, ordered countless sages to be executed and their places of learning to be burned to the ground.
In an attempt to save them from destruction, valuable scrolls and texts were hidden in hollowed walls, a time-honoured custom utilised by numerous cultures over the ages. History records that the Qin Dynasty lasted only during his lifetime, a mere forty-one years; a vivid reminder that motives seeking manipulation and control are always short-lived. Unwittingly, Qin had destroyed the very wisdom that could have been his greatest strength as a leader.

YES - I have.
Yen Tzu changed my life around. Last year when my whole world came crashing down around my feet I thought it would take me forever to rebuild my life. Then one day I tapped into google selfhelp and I trawled through the sites to find something or someone that could help me. I came across The Teachings of billionaire Yen Tzu when I visited www.colinturner.com and I have never looked back. The teachings gave me hope, strength, courage and enlightenment, but most of all the insight to rebuilding my life. The books have been written beautifully a real credit to the author who brings century old stories to life in way that you feel you are there. It was like opening a box of secrets that guided and showed me the way to a better future. Within less than a year I have become the director of my own charity thanks to the gift of Colin turner and Yen Tzu.
I have recently visited www.colinturner.com and noticed he now has The Complete Teachings of Billionaire Yen Tzu an audio/visual pack and do you know what, I did not waste time in purchasing my very own pack as a christmas gift to myself. And when I am feeing lost or alone I can open the book on any page and find the secret to get me through the day.
This is one secret and gift that everyone should treat themselves to this Christmas. Trust me it will turn your world around.
Thank you Yen Tzu :)x
