potential hazards. The awareness of my surroundings made driving
much safer for me. I could detect vehicles coming up on the side
without having to look in the mirrors or out the windows. This is
very useful on busy freeways.
This is also a great technique to teach your kids. Their grades
will go up by at least one grade point. I must caution you, though—
their teachers may think that they are not paying attention when
they are in the learning state. If you get complaints from teachers,
just tell them that this is the way your child learns best and every-
thing will be fine.Four Steps to Mastering Anything
This book does not offer a magical, get-rich-quick solution. Learn-
ing the skills to be a wealthy entrepreneur is a process, much like
other skills you have already mastered and now take for granted,
such as walking, talking, driving, and proper use of knife and fork.
No one was born knowing these things.
Understanding the learning process is essential to gaining mas-
tery in any area. If you are not currently earning the income you
want from satisfying work, then this is a skill you can master, just as
you learned the use of knife and fork.38 The Emotional Dynamics of Change
