So here I am – thinking how to get started on the ‘right’ track for the other half of the year.

With so many things going on, well, the least I would say is IT’S EXCITING. The first thing I learn about success is to go back to the ‘fundamental’ – no matter what‘s the latest thing that’s happening right now.

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich

So I picked up the infamous classic book, “Think And Grow Rich” and read it again.

It’s not that I haven’t read it before, but you see, at the right time, the knowledge you’ve gained will be more clearer to you – and if you’re at the right time and right place, you might SEE why it’s FOR YOU.

Now, just in case if this book is a new title to you, grab a copy from www.amazon.com or in your local bookstore. If not, I’ll give you a free digital copy but you got to read it. My priceless gift to you.

Here are the principles of success written in Think And Grow Rich:

Desire (The First Step toward Riches)
Faith (The Second Step toward Riches)
Auto-Suggestion (The Third Step toward Riches)
Specialized Knowledge (The Fourth Step toward Riches)
Imagination (The Fifth Step toward Riches)
Organized Planning (The Sixth Step toward Riches)
Decision (The Seventh Step toward Riches)
Persistence (The Eighth Step toward Riches)
Power of the Master Mind (The Ninth Step toward Riches)
The Mystery of Sex Transmutation (The Tenth Step toward Riches)
The Subconscious Mind (The Eleventh Step toward Riches)
The Brain (The Twelfth Step toward Riches)
The Sixth Sense (The Thirteenth Step toward Riches)
How to Outwit the Six Ghosts of Fear

It’s a book with hundreds of pages so I won’t try to explain all of them here. But I want to point out one of the many things I’ve discovered again… that will ensure your success this year:

Join a Mastermind Group. If you can’t find one to join, CREATE YOUR OWN (Always think of other solutions than being a linear thinker).

I am IMPRESSED how wealthy people at that time (those mentioned in the book) make money simply by using their ‘connections’ and network.

Think of it this way  if you’re trying to get a bank loan for a business venture, would it be easier to walk-in to a bank as a ‘stranger’ and speak with the loan officer OR ask your friends if they happen to know anyone (in their network) who are loan officers? If they do have, I believe, getting them to recommend you to the loan officer will give you better leverage.

Now – I’m just using an everyday-life simple example above. But the point is, if you’re belonging to a sort of Mastermind Group, you’ll automatically have an available network of contact.

This is YOUR ASSET.

I know of people who pay $25,000 just to be part of a Mastermind Group – I’m not saying you should be paying that amount or anywhere close. But I believe, these people, know that they’ll make more than $25,000 from there.

Like I said earlier, if you can’t join any or couldn’t find a suitable one, what’s stopping you to create your own? It could even be a free one but they must have a level of qualification to be part of your mastermind group – this way, you’ll attract those ‘qualified’ members to assist you in achieving your higher goal. Besides, ironically, THAT IS your ultimate goal – to have others helping you to become financially wealthier.
