I wanted to reprogram my brain. I didn't know this consciously, but that's what I was doing. On a soul level, I knew that the information contained in this material would change my life.

And one of the lessons was from Lead the Field by Earl Nightingale, and it talked about a vagrant going from a park bench to becoming a millionaire. And at the time I looked over across the park and I saw a person that was a vagrant that was sleeping on a bench. And I thought that person could become a millionaire. And if that person could become a millionaire, I could become a millionaire too.

So I had to go to an audiobook store and rent the audios and listen to them.
