Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is a classic and just about every successful entrepreneur has read this. I have read this book about 5 times in my life so far and I am always guaranteed to find something useful. If you have not read this book twice you are already behind.
Last week I wrote about entrepreneurship and thinking about making more money, but once you have decided to make more money how do you actually accomplish this task? The answer is to internalize your need to succeed and condition yourself for success. Ever wonder how millionaires/billionaires condition themselves for success? Here is one of the secret strategies that some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs use.
On pages 17 & 18 of Think and Grow Rich, Hill outlinesSix Ways to Turn Desires into Gold.Here we go:
- Fix your mind on the exact amount of money you desire. For example: $19,567,897.90 ( just saying “a lot of money” is not specific enough) .
- Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire.
- Establish a definite date for when you intend to possess the money you desire.
- Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action, BEGIN AT ONCE!
- Write out a clear, concise statement addressing the following:the amount of money you intend to acquire; the time limit for its acquisition; what you intend to give in return for the money;and the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
- Read your statement every morning when you wake up and at night before you go to sleep – when reading you should focus on SEEING, FEELING and BELIEVING every word.
Collectively those are all great strategies but I would add one more step to this.(BONUS STRATEGY) At the end of the day, write down all of your successes for the day. In the morning, after you read your statement above, read the list of your successes from the day before. This will get you focused on success and achieving.
Do you have the Millionaire Mindset? Have you written out how much you want to acquire, how you will acquire it and have you internalized it?
