Think And Grow Rich

"Rich" is a relative term. Does a person who has a lot of money feel "rich" if that person is not in good health? Would you trade good eyesight for a million dollars? Would you trade any other part of your body for a million dollars? If you have good health and a reasonable amount of happiness, then you are much more rich than a lot of other people who have money but also have health problems.

Treat your body as if you owned a million dollar racehorse. Would you keep that racehorse up late every night, make it smoke, drink alcohol, and pig out on junk food?

Anyway, let’s talk about money. What if someone told you how to get rich if you do exactly what it says, no excuses, no procrastination?

Here are some of the main points from THINK AND GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill, who lists 13 traits of successful people. Let’s look at them one at a time.

In summary: THIS IS AN INSURANCE POLICY AGAINST FAILURE. IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. DON’T SEARCH FOR OPPORTUNITY IN THE DISTANCE, RECOGNIZE IT RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.

Here is trait #1 of 13

1. DESIRE
Determine the exact amount of money desired
Determine the services you will provide in return, in order to get this money.
Establish a date when this money is to be acquired.
Plan to begin at once, whether you think you are ready or not.
Review daily the amount of money you would like, the date you will get it, and what your services will be in return for this money.
Read this aloud twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
