Before I share with you the three secrets to academic success that anyone pursuing an academic degree must know, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself and how I came to an understanding of these three secrets.
Today, I have four different academic degrees, including a doctorate from Harvard. But my path to earning these degrees was not an easy one. In fact, I dropped out of college four times before I finished my first degree. The challenges I faced upon entering college for the first time not only took me by surprise, they completely disrupted everything I had consciously believed to be true about myself up until that time, especially my belief that college success would be easy for me.
In addition to having spent a good many years of my adult life as a college student, I have also spent more than fifteen years teaching college students at every academic level. And I have run a successful dissertation coaching business, helping doctoral candidates finish their research, write their dissertations, and complete their degrees.
You see, my understanding of the three secrets to academic success that I share with you in this book comes from not only my own experiences as both a college drop out and a successful college graduate but also my interactions with and observations of thousands of college students whom I have taught, worked with, counseled, coached and guided throughout my career.
I am also someone who once struggled to overcome difficult emotions and behavior patterns that interfered with my ability to achieve my goals. I spent years exploring different healing modalities in an effort to overcome the emotions, behavioral patterns, and self-limiting beliefs that stood between me and the life I dreamt of having. Nothing in my experience has been as effective as EFT. Using EFT I have been able to completely change my life and to experience a joy in living that previously eluded me.
I am truly excited to introduce EFT to others who might be struggling as I once did. I feel certain you too can change your life by using EFT.
Did you know that an average of 40% of people who enroll in college in the United States today drop out before completing their degrees? I was once one of those drop-outs. But you do not have to be.
By the time you have finished reading this book, you will know exactly what to do to succeed academically. You will have three simple tests you can take to assess your own readiness to succeed. And, if you determine that you are not yet ready for academic success, you will have a tool for aligning your conscious desire for academic success with your subconscious mind, so that you are primed to succeed in your academic pursuits.
So let’s begin.
