Napoleon Hill: Six Ways To Turn Desires Into Gold

First : fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want plenty of money.” Be definite as to the amount.

Second : determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as “something for nothing.”)

Third : establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth : create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth : write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth : read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read —see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

Everyday, sit down and decide each year exactly how much money you want to make. Then, decide exactly what you would give in exchange for that amount of money. Then, make a written statement as described above, mounted it on a piece of cardboard, and placed it by your bed. Read your statement aloud first thing every morning and last thing every evening before you go to sleep. Closed your eyes, relaxed, and visualized my desired results in as much detail as possible. See yourself doing the work you plan to do and receiving the fair payment you described for yourself. Imagine having the money in your hands and putting it into your bank account.

Every year, rewrite your statement, raised your goal, reevaluated what you would give in exchange for the money, and continued.

Whatever the mind of man

Can conceive and believe

It can achieve.
