Hi friends! 

If you don't want to read all the details below, here's the Short Version:

My beautiful wife and five amazing children are in Chile.  I haven’t seen them in 160 days and counting.

 I am writing and publishing this book in order to bring them back sooner.  I miss them greatly as any dad would.  We went on vacation last year to take care of my in-laws as they had some very severe health issues.  At the end of last year, the contract I had been working on suddenly ended. So in December, I came back up to the United States to get another contract and support my family financially.

Now it is time for them to come home.  I am writing this book to help speed their way back into my arms, but also to begin the career that I know I should have started years ago.

This Indiegogo campaign is a big pre-sale of the book to help me gauge how many books to print for our first run.

Here is a video of my little girls:

Here is one of my boys:

Long Version:

My name is Joshua Phair. I have been writing, teaching, training, and speaking publicly since I was 12.  I was recently Co-Author of another book that went Best Seller titled The Rise by Author Greg S. Reid.

I have always been very involved.  In my youth there was drama, debate, choir, soccer, wrestling, track, and scouting.  I also began composing music in my teens, played violin, and piano. 

I was chosen in 7th grade to go to a high school literary event in the state of Oregon.  It was about this same time that I discovered a LOVE for books.

My passion, however, is for speaking, coaching and teaching others, helping them realize how very important they are. 

After the passing of Jim Rohn, Og Mandino, Zig Ziglar and some of the truly great authors, we now live in a world where three brands of self-awareness and improvement books are needed. 

Inspiration – Stories of amazing people accomplishing amazingly beautiful and great things.  This gives us hope and allows us to free our imaginations, and in liberation learn to dream and create again.

Motivation – Stories of perseverance, consistency, and true grit, showing social proof of others sticking to it when things get tough.  This helps us continue in action though we may have temporarily lost sight of the dreams we seek to create.

Enlightenment – Stories, Metaphors, Analogies that help us to gain clarity with regard to who we are, why we are here, and where we are going.  This helps us live life with passion, and with purpose so that whatever dreams we are creating may give lasting joy and complete fulfillment.

It does not matter the order they are in, as everyone’s journey is their own, but all three are essential.

My first solo book to be published in 24 years will be in the inspiration area.  The Phoenix Phenomenon gives hope by allowing all to see that there is really no such thing as failure.  The stories will come alive and paint a picture that even in the direst of circumstance may hope be found.

Who is my inspiration for this book?

While I write it to reunite my family, the inspiration for this book is my Father.

My greatest Hero is my Dad.  I wrote a poem for my father not too long ago.  He was disheartened after some circumstances beyond his control and felt no longer deserving of the Superman “S” that he had on his chest.  The poem will give you a better idea of why he is my Hero.


The man who adopted one child more...

Panic, awake...
can this be?
The dream...
yet again it comes to me...

Your family is not complete,
God already gave us five,
adopted two more,
and then, we felt alive...

Yet again this dream,
it comes to me.
Telling me, “Look again,
it’s not complete.”

Somewhere,
there is another one.
He is waiting,
and will become your fifth son.

Again,
strange circumstance occurs...
Receive a phone call,
and something stirs.

Another boy needed you,
Call it fate or guidance of the spirit.
You replied in hushed tones,
"Send him for a visit."

And so a boy came
and stood re-united,
with is two other brothers,
and was simply delighted...

No more lost and lonely,
he was finally found.
And given a home,
where love would abound.

He grew and he grew,
and became he a man.
Imitating the good
that he saw in that man.

A man who,
in faith, listened to a dream.
A dream that to others,
impossible would seem.

Peacefully, awake...
the dream comes to me?
The dream that stills my troubled heart,
and brings me great peace...

Your family is complete.
I gave you five, and then gave you three more.
Thank you for listening, and when you get here,
there will be an open door...

Joshua S. Phair - October 15th, 2013


There are many other reasons that this amazing man is my Hero.  I only have time for one more.

My Dad and his beautiful and loving wife, took care of both their mothers toward the end of their lives.  My Dad’s mom lived in their house and, for many years, was cared for until she passed.

So when my in-laws got sick in 2012, I decided a little prematurely that it was time I followed in my father’s footsteps.  They were big shoes to fill, and though in no way do I consider my attempt a failure, I had to come home early to prepare financially for when I can really up the game and continue an amazing legacy.

So my wife and beautiful children stayed behind to make sure that my in-laws were taken care of , and I came home to begin again.  In the last 6 months with the help of some amazing mentors, I have finally shed the large portion of self-doubt that has held me back all these years from publishing my own works.


What are others Saying?

Karl Monson


"My good friend joshua has relayed his wisdom thru the spirit to others that go on to raise the bar of success in their lives and brings them worldly success. Many continue without the long-term happiness because they forgot the human touch that was taught. I am hopeful that this new book shows the true spirit and purpose of us all. For those who have the opportunity to inspire and those who seek inspiration."
