I wish to thank the following people for making this book possible. Without them I could not have written it. Nor would I have as much love, learning, and laughter in my life. I thank Gary Romero for his encouragement, his love, and his eye for detail. Don Ricks originated many of the ideas that evolved into CORE CONTROL, the formula used in this book. He was my mentor and my friend. Harold Hadden has supported me in every way as an investor in my future, and as my friend. Thanks to Jack Swenson, my copartner in this book, for his help and confidence in our project. My dear friends Lisette Wilbur, Stevie and Richard Doughty, Ken and Toni Fratzke, Suzie Hilgeman, and all of the Wings have encouraged me and helped me keep my sense of humor. Ashleigh Brilliant is heavily quoted in the examples and exercises. I thank him for his wacky wit and wisdom. Finally, I want to thank my publisher, Mike Crisp. No one could ask for a more flexible, positive person in the drivers seat.
