You’ll learn how to surround yourself with successful people and how to acknowledge the positive past and release the negative past, face what isn’t working in your life, embrace change, and make a commitment to lifelong learning.

Section VI, “Success Starts Now,”

Section V is entitled “Success and Money.”

As you are reading, I strongly encourage you to underline and highlight everything that feels important to you. Make notes in the margin about the things you’ll put into action. Then review those notes and highlighted sections again and again. Repetition is the key to real learning. Every time you reread portions of this book, you’ll literally “re-mind” yourself of what you need to do to get from where you are to where you want to be. As you’ll discover, it takes repetitive exposure to a new idea before it becomes a natural part of your way of thinking and being.
