As I scanned though my huge daily reading list I saw a title that obviously intrigued me. I eagerly read  How to Change Your Work Habits and Become a Success Machine by Michael Masterson, who has written Automatic Wealth. I enjoyed the story about how he turned into a straight A student and it was motivating but he missed one of the key features of a machine: a machine is automatic (like “Automatic Wealth”). Here’s how his machine helped him:

* once he got used to sitting in front of the class (which is conducive to learning), classroom success was automated.

* once he developed the early to rise habit he automatically maximized each day

* once he developed the learning muscle- learning more, for longer hours, wasn’t that hard

A machine is not about doing hard work. A machine turns hard work into easy or automated work.
