Think And Grow Rich

Probably the most well-known book about creating wealth also happens to be one of the best, if not the best. Think and Grow Rich was written by Napolean Hill in 1960 at the behest of Andrew Carnegie.Carnegie, who amassed his fortune in steel, is one of the richest people to have ever lived; the book contains his secret for creating wealth. Think and Grow Rich is one of the best-selling books of all time. It is now in its twentieth printing.Among the people who used Carnegie's secret in their own endeavors are Henry Ford, Charles Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilbur Wright, John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Woodrow Wilson, and Alexander Graham Bell.According to Carnegie, there are six steps by which a desire for wealth (or any change for that matter) can be transmuted into actual wealth:
Decide the exact amount of money you want. Be definite and state a specific amount.
Decide what you intend to give for that money. You cannot get something for nothing.
State a definite date by which you are committed to having the money.
Create a specific plan for carrying out your desire and immediately put this plan into action.
Write out a clear, concise statement of this plan. For example, "I will have $100,000 by January 1 of next year, and I intend to give _____ through my plan of action to get it."
Read your statement aloud, twice a day. Once upon waking up and once right before bed. As you read, see and feel yourself in possession of the money.

If you think these six steps could be used to create any change in your life, you are correct.What is interesting about Napolean Hill/Andrew Carnegie's recipe is that it requires action on your part. This aspect is important to realize. Changing your beliefs is only one part of the plan.The confluence of positive beliefs and new actions creates different results. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten.What you are doing with all of these exercises is messing with your own head. To the extent you have limited or negative beliefs about money, the more you begin to introduce some new ideas into your brain, the more you will begin to believe in, and thereby create, a more affluent life. dr seuss cat in hat quotes
