Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, believes that a person doesn't have to be a genius to make millions of dollars. Anyone can become wealthy if he or she thinks positively and has a deep desire to accomplish his goal.
Positive Thinking: You have to visualize your financial dreams and know in your heart that you can attain them. You must already own them.
If you begin making every excuse under the sun why you think you can't succeed, pinch yourself. You have to discipline your mind to think positive thoughts. Teach yourself that those kind of thought patterns are unacceptable. You can achieve success, even if you aren't the most intelligent, talented, or most attractive person in the world. Success is your if you'll just allow it to come into your life.
Desire: Hill recounts a true tale of one man Edwin Barnes who wished to become Thomas Edison's partner. Many of us would have mocked him if we had lived in his time. Edwin Barnes was a nobody. Nevertheless, he possessed a deep desire, a life dream, and he was determined. He went to Thomas Edison and persuaded Edison to hire him. He didn't instantly achieve his dream, but he worked hard and ultimately became Thomas Edison's partner.
Edwin Barnes followed these 7 steps to achieve this great success:
1. Pick a definite goal.
2. Place all your power into that dream.
3. Be willing to do menial work at first.
4. Visualize your goal. See it in your mind.
5. Form a plan.
6. Stick it out.
7. Eliminate any way to retreat.
