The human brain is a broadcasting and receiving station for thought... Thought vibration, stepped up by emotion, can be broadcast and received by the brain.. Your intangible self is more powerful than the physical self you perceive..

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">With auto-suggestion, you play a perfectly legitimate " trick" on your subconscious mind by making it believe, because you believe it, that you must have the amount of money you are visualizing, that this money is already awaiting your claim, that the subconscious mind must hand over to you practical plans for acquiring the money which is yours. Hand over the thought suggested to your imagination and see what your imagination can or will do to create practical plans for accumulating that money.....</li></ol>

Step 7 : (Continues...)

"The most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people." "You have absolute control over but one thing : your thoughts." "The mind can produce anything the mind can conceive and believe."

Before success comes to most people, they are sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When faced with defeat, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. Persistence is the key to succeeding in the face of adversity...

Quotes 

Imagination is the workshop wherein all plans are fashioned..... Your only limitation, within reason, lies in the development and use of your imagination.... Ideas can be transmuted into cash through the power of definite purpose, plus definite plans.... Riches, when they come in huge quantities, are never the result of hardwork!..

It is more deeply seated and more often fatal than all of the 6 fears.</li><li class="ql-align-center">The most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people.</li><li class="ql-align-center">What you have accomplished is the only measure of your success.</li><li class="ql-align-center">Excuses are no substitute for success.</li></ol>

Step4 : Eliminate Negative Thinking : The 7th basic evil

Every noteworthy achievement begins with a burning desire for what one wants. Desire backed by faith knows no such words as "impossible". Only those who become money conscious ever accumulate great riches. No more effort is required to demand abundance and prosperity than is required to accept misery and poverty. Nothing is impossible to the person who backs desire with enduring faith

The subconscious mind transmutes emotionally charged thought mixed with faith into it physical equivalent. The subconscious mind works day and night. The subconscious acts on the thoughts it is fed, whether they are positive or negative.

<ol><li>No thought, whether negative or positive, can enter the subconscious mind without the aid of the principle of auto-suggestion, with the exception of thoughts picked up from the ether.</li><li>People may gain control of themselves and their environment, because they have the power to influence their own subconscious mind and through their subconscious minds gain the cooperation of Infinite Intelligence.</li><li>The subconscious mind takes any orders given it in a spirit of absolute faith, and acts upon those orders, although the orders often have to be presented over and over again, through repetition, before t</li></ol>

Step 7 : Control your own thoughts with auto-suggestion

Faith is the visualization and belief in the attainment of desire................ To transmute desire for riches into money, you must first convince your subconscious mind that you will receive that money............... Auto-suggestion convinces the subconscious mind to believe whatever you tell it to believe. It is the only method to induce faith..............

<ol><li class="ql-align-center">Faith is the visualization and belief in the attainment of desire. It is the eternal elixir that gives life power and gives action to the impulse of thought....</li><li class="ql-align-center">Perfection comes through practice. It cannot come by merely reading instructions...</li><li class="ql-align-center">Repetition of affirmation to your subconscious mind is the only known method to induce faith....</li><li class="ql-align-center">Your greatest weakness is lack of self-confidence...</li><li class="ql-align-center">Thoughts mixed with emotions constitute a "magnetic" force which attracts, from the vibrations of the ether, other similar, or related thoughts...</li><li class="ql-align-center">Riches begin in the form of thought!..</li></ol>

Step 8 : Believe It

<ol><li>Successful people decide and then pursue their goals with a singularity of purpose</li><li>The value of decisions depends upon the courage required to render them</li><li>Procastination is symptomatic of indecisiveness</li><li>Let one of your first decisions be to keep a closed mouth and open ears and eyes</li><li>The value of decisions depends upon the courage required to render them</li></ol>﻿

Step 16 : Be Decisive

An idea combined with a plan and the specialized knowledge to execute the plan yields riches... Knowledge is power only when organized into a definite plan of action for achieving a definite goal.. Specialized knowledge does not have to be in the possession of the person who accumulates the fortune

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Thought is a definite idea that combined with purpose, persistence, burning desire, and faith is transmuted into the acquisition of wealth...</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The ability to control our thoughts is what enables us to fashion our own reality</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hardwork</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Thought is energy that drives the action necessary to overcome obstacles between you and that which you desire.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You are the master of your fate, the caption of your soul.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">When one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appeareance.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Thought without persistence often leads to failure.</li></ol>

Step 1 : Harness the Power of Thought(Part1)

SIX basic fears:<ol><li class="ql-align-center">Fear of Poverty</li><li class="ql-align-center">Fear of Criticism</li><li class="ql-align-center">Fear of ill Health</li><li class="ql-align-center">Fear of Lost Love</li><li class="ql-align-center">Fear of Old Age</li><li class="ql-align-center">Fear of Death</li></ol>Thought impulses begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent, whether those thoughts are voluntary or involuntary.	A Person whose mind is filled with fear not only destroys his or her own chances of intelligent action, but also transmits these destructiv vibrations to the minds of other people, destroying their chances.

Step 3 : Outwit the Six Ghosts of fear

<ol><li class="ql-align-center">You must know what you want and have a burning desire to possess it.</li><li class="ql-align-center">Success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis.</li><li class="ql-align-center">Imagine yourself successful, reflect on past successes, set definite goals, and respond positively to life.</li><li class="ql-align-center">When you have a burning desire, no obstacle is too big to overcome.</li><li class="ql-align-center">The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their "other selves".</li><li class="ql-align-center">Desire backed by faith knows no such word as "impossible".</li><li class="ql-align-center">Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.</li></ol>

Step 5 : Develop a Burning Desire

This book is very useful for everyone irrespective of age,gender and qualification who wants to earn more money and succeed in life and to achieve their definite goals with ease.

Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers.
