Dr. John Demartini

I thought, okay, I'll teach. Then I had a guy who came up to me and saw me meditating out on the sun. And he asked me if I could teach him meditation. Now that guy's been with me 52 years still. He's still there.

Yeah, he's a doctor today. Now, what's interesting is then I had about 17 students get out of a class and surround me at a library and wanted me to mentor them on mathematics that I was studying. It was only algebra. because I had to start over, but they wanted me to do it. So I started teaching in the library and tutoring when I was 18. I was learning 20, 30 words a day, 30 words a day.

And I just kept growing my vocabulary and people started saying, this guy is really committed to learning. Most kids were going to school, you know, parents, you know, they just do the basic minimum. Right, force them. No, no, no, no. I was there every minute, every hour I was using my time. And I excelled because of that. I went from the bottom to the top.

Then when I went to the University of Houston, I started to do yoga under these trees and people come gathered up around me and started asking me questions because I guess I look kind of like a weirdo. And 100, 125, 150, sometimes 400 people would gather every day. So I would start to do classes.

And what's interesting, the very place that I used to do these classes, University of Houston, now has the Bauer School of Entrepreneurship building on top of the space. And that building was inspired by two of my students to build. And they asked me to come and speak there at the opening. They didn't know that I used to teach on the base of this building.

It was a tearjerker. It was a tearjerker. When I told him that, I didn't know that I had inspired the formation of the college at a class like it. But they didn't know that I used to teach on that spot.

When I graduated from professional school, because I was teaching six or seven nights a week in my apartment at professional school and every opportunity to teach, I was doing it. And then when I graduated, I went out into practice and it was interesting, about two weeks into practice, I was doing everything. I had one assistant that I hired, but I was doing everything.

I started out doing everything. I didn't have a lot of business savvy. I think I took one little class at University of Houston on a business class, and I really can't say that was my forte. Right. I was studying biology and pre-med and more of the sciences and humanities and stuff. I got in there and I was doing everything. I was doing a bankruptcy conciliation.

One day I was doing a bankruptcy conciliation and they said, we got a new patient. And I said, I got to finish this bankruptcy conciliation. I said, not yet. And I thought, wait, my patient's number one. What am I doing a bankruptcy? And then I thought, this is insane. I can hire somebody to do this for 20 bucks in those days, 1982.

And I could be going out and doing way more in my clinical, but I got it that day, that really ridiculous thing of trying to get a bankruptcy. And so I went over to Walden's bookstore and And I went through the business section, right? All these books. And I found this book called The Time Track by Ellen McKinsey. It was on time management.
