Become Wealthy Through Positive Thinking and Desire
The Secret to Becoming Rich
Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, believes that a person does not have to be a genius to make millions. Anybody can become wealthy if he or she thinks positively and has a deep desire to achieve his or her goal.
<b>Thinking Positively:</b> "If you do not see great riches in your imagination you will never see them in your bank account." � Hill. You must see your financial dreams and believe that you will be able to attain them. Own it.
If you begin making up every excuse under the sun why you can't succeed, pinch yourself. You have to discipline your mind to think positively. Teach yourself that those kind of thought patterns are unacceptable. You can achieve success, even if you aren't the smartest, most talented, or most attractive person in the world. Success is waiting for you and thinking positively will allow success to enter your life. Don't underestimate the power of your thoughts.
<b>Desire</b>: Hill recounts a true story of a man named Edwin Barnes who wished to become Thomas Edison's partner. Many of us would have scoffed at him had we lived back then. Edwin Barnes was an unknown. Nevertheless, he had a deep desire, a life dream, and he was determined. He traveled to Thomas Edison and persuaded him to hire him. He didn't immediately achieve his goal, but eventually he did become Thomas Edison's partner.
Edwin Barnes followed these 7 steps to gain success:
1. Choose a definite dream.
2. Place all your power into that goal.
3. Be willing to do menial work at first.
4. Visualize your dream. See it in your mind.
5. Create a strategy.
6. Stick it out.
7. Remove any possibility of retreat.
As you focus on obtaining your goals, write down your answers to these questions: Exactly how much money do I want? What am I willing to give for it? What exact date do I want this money by? What is my strategy?
Remember, to successful people, there is no such thing as "defeat." appears to be defeat is no more than a awesome opportunity. Start creating opportunities out of failures and becoming successful today!
