	 I could see her start to fidget, and she was becoming very uncomfortable. When I               day
pushed her on it I said, “Mary, what’s the problem? When I started talking about being
your own boss it seemed to have hit a chord with you.”
	 “Oh, Gerry, my father told me I should never work for myself. I should find
a secure place to work and stay there and work hard, study hard, and work long
hours.”
	 I asked, “Mary, how old are you?”
	 She said, “I am sixty-three years old.”
	 I said,“Mary, how old is your father?”
	 She said, “My father is dead.” Here was this sixty-three year old lady listening

	 There is an awesome power affecting you right now – the power of your authority
figures. Your aunts, uncles, religious leaders, educators, and people who have been around
you have influenced you. Val Stet calls them Uncle Twit and Aunt Wart, and they represent

your parents tell you that? I’ll tell you why. Their authority figures told them things like:

	 Just be happy with what you have.

	 Money doesn’t grow on trees.

       	 A penny saved is a penny earned.                                                       29

       	 You have concepts within you put there by authority figures. It’s time to yank
       those out. You were probably told things like: “Go and get a good education, study hard
       and once you get a good education with good grades, you’ll get a good job in a good
