“Bob Mueller’s original work of art packs a similar punch like a withering forearm from the legendary #51 himself.

​
The work that lays before you, "Finding Your Butkus – The Four Quarters,” by Emmy recipient, Bob Mueller, is filled with so much “BS!” In spite of thousands of self-help books having been written over the years, none combine an NFL Playbook, the Law of Attraction and Conceptual Philosophy of the Warrior Arts… it is totally unique. The author's “BS,” [Belief Systems], represents a fresh look at how to turn dreams into realities. It’s a story with guts … “Persistence meets the Law of Attraction.” I simply couldn’t put it down, it was like discovering for the first time that I am the person sent to save me. Mueller’s BS is an amazing story with a great Kickoff and fantastic 4th Quarter comeback. Patrick McCarthy PHD, 9th Dan Hanshi, 2016 Karate Legend Award Recipient

Rather than a handbook, it’s a playbook full of motivational messages that combine to support you in making your Heaven on Earth real! Martin Rutte Co-author, Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work

​
"I was drawn to a particular chapter in your book, "A true playbook on how to get what you want. For me to truly get what I want wanted, I implemented my 3 P's. Planning- Know what you want to devise a plan on how to get it. Make sure your plan is sound and that you have a way to overcome most hurdles that can arise. Patience- Anything worth having is worth working for. And its virtually impossible to sustain long-term, worth-wild success if you're immediately rewarded with un-earned success (lottery winners). Perseverance- There will most definitely be hurdles to overcome, (didn't get the job at first, didn't get that bonus or loan I thought I would, so on) but you have to focused on your goal. Learn from your mistakes and try to prevent them from happening again. and just when you think it's time to give up on your dream, refer back to the first 2 principles and push forward. There will be gold at the end of your rainbow."
Lincoln Kennedy Oakland Raiders Ret. A man trying to realize the dream so I can live it
