6 Steps To Becoming Wealthy

14 replies
Many people strive for wealth and fail, but failure does not mean they will not reach their goal. Many people in history failed but kept trying until they were successful.


Recently, I was reading the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. He describes the mind set of one who desires riches. The desire for riches is a mindset followed by a plan of action, then backing up those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure.


He describes a method, consisting of 6 steps on how to achieve your goal.


First, Be definite as to the amount of riches you want to achieve.


Second, Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. In reality there is no such thing as "something for nothing".


Third, Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.


Fourth, create a plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, by putting your plan in to action. Don't wait till you have everything in order. Take action now!



Fifth, write out a clear concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire an write out a clear plan of action.


Sixth, read your written statement aloud twice daily. As you read it feel it, and believe that you are already in possession of the money.


You must realize that all who have accumulated great wealth did so by dreaming, hoping, wishing and planning.


Start today, making your dreams come true.


Hope this is helpful..

      Thanks Bigbenre, for the comment, yes I think Napoleon Hill helps to keep people motivated in order to accomplish their goals..
      Joesfortune, I'm not sure what your definition of rich is, but I do make a six figure yearly income, hopefully you'll reach your goal of wealth. Stay motivated and stick with your plan of action..

        I really like Napoleon Hill's work. I would add to this list...

        Find a mentor who can help you cut your learning curve and avoid making common mistakes. You can accelerate your learning process and make money sooner if you gain support from those who have already gone through the process.

    Thanks for the "condensed" version. Think I will search for my copy and re-read it.

  • Yes Fern, thank you for the reminder. It is never outdated to include such excerpts from the masters. We are fortunate to be able to draw inspiration from them.

      Thanks to all, this was the first time I have read this book. I think so many times we quit or give up on our dreams way to soon.

    That does remind me to read the book again. I couldn't remember a quote from it properly the other day. It's always a good one to re-read. Thanks very much!

    Best wishes,

    Ruth

    If you want to expand on Napoleon Hill's formula, I highly recommend you read and implement the strategies in Marc Allen's book called The Millionaire Course.

    Best,
