I would listen to the tape constantly. You need to trick your inner mind into thinking that what you are imagining is a reality for you. It will then take all that it has learned from the reading and start producing the results.
Sometimes it will take a while. You need to condition in the new behaviour until it becomes a part of your self image. Once you truely believe deep down that you can do something then there is very little that can stop you because you will have a motivated unconscious mind on your side working to produce the results. Many books speak of this process --'Think and Grow Rich' for example.
Many successful people do this process naturally. They say things like I have visualized this moment happening in my life ever since I was a kid. Whether that be winning the championship in some sport or getting an award for best musician (whatever the person has been focused on).
