 DESIRE - STARTING POINT OF ALL                               ACHIEVEMENT

      THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS RICH

 

THE METHOD by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial    equivalent , consists of six definite , practical steps , viz:

1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money."

2. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire

(There is no such reality as " something for nothing.")

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

4. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and began at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

5. 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 money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it. 

6. 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.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBED IN THESE SIX STEPS .

          FAILURE PERMITS NO ALIBIS. "
