Books

One book about a life. A dozen about a business.

The business books came from fifty years of running stores. The autobiography came from the morning I decided to have a life worth writing about.

An autobiography

Second
Chance

Bill Scott

From a ruined life to a rebuilt one.

It started with one decision in 1977.

At 34, I walked out of rehab after three days — carrying nothing but a decision to change. That moment became the foundation for rebuilding every area of my life: money and business, relationships, health, and mindset.

For fifty years since, I've studied and applied practical principles of the mind — the conscious and subconscious, the Reticular Activating System as our mental gatekeeper, the blind spots that keep us stuck, and the quiet power of repetition and emotion. Second Chance is where those tools and stories live. No fluff. No empty promises.

The two minds

Conscious and subconscious, and how they really run your day.

The RAS

Your mental gatekeeper — what it lets in, and what it filters out.

Blind spots

The scotomas that hide the options right in front of you.

Present-tense programming

Repetition and emotion, aimed at the life you actually want.

The business library

Ten to twelve books, all written from the
floor.

Decades of retail, inventory, and store-management know-how, published and
available on Amazon. Each one answers a question I got tired of answering one
store at a time.
