Elimina la Queja

Nadie está preparado para algo hasta que cree que puede conseguirlo. El estado mental debe ser la convicción, no de simple esperanza o anhelo. Los anhelos no generan riqueza. Se trata de querer dinero y de estar tan decidido a tenerlo que te convenzas a ti mismo de que lo tendrás.

Estado Mental

Es un hecho demostrado que acabamos creyendo cualquier cosa que nos repitamos, sea cierta o falsa. Cada persona es lo que es por los pensamientos dominantes que ocupan su mente.Si repites suficientemente un pensamiento, el subconsciente termina aceptándolo. La mente subconsciente no distingue entre pensamientos constructivos o destructivos.

Escribe una declaración de tu propósito principal:1. Determina la cantidad exacta de dinero que quieres2. Establece lo que vas a dar a cambio3. Fija un plazo4. Crea un plan imperfecto (y empieza ya con la primera acciónLee la declaración en voz alta cada día hasta que forme parte de tu mente subconsciente.

La opinión o visión de los demás sobre nosotros afecta a nuestro propio subconsciente, impulsándonos o frenándonos.Si tu profesor te considera inteligente (sea cierto o no), hay más probabilidades de que tu rendimiento sea bueno. Si tu jefe te considera capaz (sea cierto o no), será más probable que tu trabajo sea bueno.

Las 4 Grandes Riquezas

<ol><li>Sé pensar: tener valores que guíen tu vida. Tener una brújula interior que te permita tomar decisiones y avanzar.</li><li>Sé esperar: ser capaz de pensar a largo plazo y estar dispuesto a sacrificar una parte del beneficio presente para uno mayor en el futuro.</li><li>Sé ayunar: tener capacidad para atravesar malos momentos.</li></ol>

Colecciona fuentes de ingreso. Acostúmbrate a ver como un coleccionista de fuentes de ingreso. Anota 10 ideas de posibles fuentes de ganar dinero. No importa si son buenas o malas, solo escríbelas

A veces pensamos que debemos imaginar la superidea. Y eso nos bloquea. Creemos que la idea lo es todo.Tienes una buena idea, pero alguien ya lo está haciendo. ¿Y qué? Hazlo mejor. "Alguien lo está haciendo" es la excusa universal para no hacer nada.La idea no es lo importante. Importa que la lleves a la práctica.

¿Se Necesita una Superidea?

Las personas que triumfan toman las decisiones con rapidez y, si cambian de opinión, lo hacen muy lentamente. Quienes fracasan lo hacen al revés.La mayoría de nosotros esperamos el «momento oportuno>> para hacer algo que merezca la pena. No esperes. Nunca llegará el «momento oportuno». Empieza desde donde estás y aprovecha las herramientas que tengas a mano. Mejor hecho que perfecto. Hacer el 50% es mucho mejor que no hacer nada.

Indecisión y Postergación

A la mayoría de las personas que no logran ganar suficiente dinero para sus necesidades generalmente les influyen mucho las opiniones de los demás. Las opiniones son el producto más barato de la tierra. Si las opiniones te influyen a la hora de tomar decisiones, no conseguirás transformar tu deseo en dinero.Sigue tu propia corazonada cuando pongas en práctica los principios de este libro, toma tus propias decisiones y aférrate a ellas.

Toma tus Propias Decisiones

Si sabes claramente lo que quieres, es mucho más probable que lo consigas. El mundo tiene la costumbre de abrir paso a las personas cuyas palabras y acciones muestran que saben adónde se dirigen.

Si Sabes Lo Que Quieres, Puedes Conseguirlo

La falta de perseverancia es una de las causas principales del fracaso. La facilidad con la que puedas superar este obstáculo dependerá, totalmente, de la intensidad de tu deseo.El punto de partida de cualquier logro es el deseo. Tenlo siempre presente. Tu entusiasmo indicará con claridad cuánto, o cuán poco, deseas ganar dinero. Si ves que sientes indiferencia, sabrás que todavía no has adquirido la «consciencia del dinero», algo imprescindible antes de poder ganar una fortuna.

El Punto de Partida de cualquier Logro es el Deseo

Los Consejeros Invisibles

Para triumfar deberás superar tus tres mayores enemigos: la indecisión, la duda, y el miedo.La naturaleza le ha otorgado al ser humano el control absoluto sobre una sola cosa, y son sus pensamientos. Este hecho, junto con la realidad de que todo lo que creamos empieza con un pensamiento, nos acerca al principio con el que podremos controlar el miedo.

Principales Enemigos

Para protegerte de las influencias negativas debes reconocer que tienes fuerza de voluntad y tienes que usarla constantemente, hasta que construya un muro de inmunidad contras las influencias negativas de la mente.Reconoce el hecho de que tú, como cualquier otro ser humano, eres perezoso, indiferente y susceptible a todas las sugestiones que armonicen con tus debilidades.Reconoce que eres susceptible a los miedos y que tienes que crear unos hábitos para contrarrestarlos.

El Otro Mal: la Susceptibilidad a las Influencias Negativas.

Solo tienes un control absoluto sobre una cosa: tus pensamientosEl control de la mente es el resultado de la autodisciplina y el hábito. O controlas tu mente o ella te controla a ti. No hay punto medio. El método más práctico para controlar la mente es mantenerla ocupada con un propósito definido que lograrás con un plan concreto

Controla tus Pensamientos

La vida es una partida de ajedrez, y tu oponente es el tiempo. Si dudas antes de hacer un movimiento, o no mueves las piezas con rapidez, el tiempo te vencerá. Juegas contra un oponente que no tolera la indecisión.

Ever wondered how life would be if we could condition our minds to Think and Grow Rich? Author Napoleon Hill claims to have based this book on twenty years of rigorous research on the lives of those who had amassed great wealth and made a fortune. Observing their habits, their ways of working and the principles they followed, Hill put together laws and philosophies that can be practiced in everyday life to achieve all-round success. The narrative is rich with stories and anecdotes, which not only inspire, but also show a way forward to take action. After all, riches are not just material, but also pertaining to the mind, body and spirit.  Having sold more than fifteen million copies across the world, this book remains the most read self-improvement book of all times!

Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich, which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life.

Think and Grow Rich

Piense y hágase rico

It is so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis. Too often, we convince ourselves that a massive success requires massive action.We often dismiss small changes because they don't seem to matter very much in the moment.Success is the product of daily habits.

Get 1% better every day

People make a few small changes, fail to see a tangible result, and decide to stop. But in order to make a meaningful difference, habits need to to persist long enough to break through this plateau.If you find yourself struggling to build a good habit or break a bad one, it is not because you have lost your ability to improve. It is often because you have not yet crossed the Plateau of Latent Potential.

The Plateau of Latent Potential

﻿"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it-but all that had gone before."

Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.<ol><li>Goals restrict your happiness. They create a "either-or" conflict: either you achieve your goal and are successful or you fail and you are a dissappointment.</li><li>The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game.</li></ol>Implement a system of continuous small improvements.True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking

Forget about goals, focus on systems

Behaviour that is incongruent with the self will not last. You might start a habit because of motivation, but the only reason you'll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity.The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it. If you are proud of how your hair looks, you'll develop all sorts of habits to care for and maintain it.Changing your identity is a two-step process:<ol><li>Decide the type of person you want to be (reader, musician, athlete, leader,...).</li><li>Prove it to yourself with small wins.</li></ol>Ask yourself: Who is the type of person who could get the outcome I want?

True behaviour change is identity change

The process of building a habit can be divided into four steps:<ol><li>Cue: it triggers your brain to initiate a behaviour. It is a bit of information that predicts a reward.</li><li>Craving: it is the motivational force behind every habit. Without craving, we have no reason to act. What you crave is not the habit itself but the change in state it delivers.</li><li>Response: it is the habit you perform.</li><li>Reward: end goal of any habit.</li></ol>

The science of how habits work

﻿The 1st law (Cue)

Once our habits become automatic, we stop paying attention to what we are doing.You need to be aware of your habits before you can change them.The Habits Scorecard is a simple exercise to become more aware of your behaviour, by creating a list of your daily habits and categorizing them by how they will benefit you in the long run.

Awareness

People who make a specific plan for when and where they will perform a new habit are more likely to follow through. Many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity.<ul><li>Implementation intention:</li></ul>I will [NEW HABIT] at [TIME] in [LOCATION]<ul><li>Habit stacking:</li></ul>After I [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT]

Select the right cue to kick things off

A small change in what you see can lead to a big shift in what you do.Every habit is initiated by a cue, and we are more likely to notice cues that stand out.<ul><li>Put the apples in a place where can be seen easily and not in the bottom of the fridge.</li><li>Leave the book on your bed.</li><li>Create a space for work, study, exercise, entertainment, and cooking.</li></ul>

Make the cues of good habits obvious in your environment

You can break a habit, but you're unlikely to forget it. And that means that simply resisting temptation is an eneffective strategy.To eliminate a bad habit, reduce exposure to the cue that causes it.<ul><li>Leave the phone in another room.</li><li>Delete social media apps.</li></ul>

Self-control is a short-term strategy, not a long-term one

﻿The 2nd law (Craving)

It is the anticipation of a reward, not the fulfillment of it, that gets us to take action. It is the craving that leads to the response.Temptation bundling: It consists of linking an action you want to do with an action you need to do.After I [HABIT I NEED], I will [HABIT I WANT]

Desire is the engine that drives behaviour

We tend to adopt habits that are praised and approved of by our culture because we have a strong desire to fit in and belong to the tribe.We tend to imitiate the habits of:<ol><li>The close (friends and familiy)</li><li>The many (the tribe)</li><li>The powerful (those with status and prestige)</li></ol>Surround yourself with people who have the habits you want to have yourself. You'll rise together.Even better if you already have something in common with the group. Nothing sustains motivation better than belonging to the tribe.

The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives

﻿The 3rd law (Response)

If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection. When you're in motion, you're planning and strategizing and learning. Those are all good things, but they don't produce a result. You're just preparing to get something done. The most effective form of learning is practice, not planning.Instead of asking "How long does it take to build a new habit?", you should ask:"How many does it take to form a new habit?"

Get your reps in

We will naturally gravitate toward the option that requires the least amount of work.Reduce the friction associated with good behaviours:<ul><li>Cook a healthy breakfast: clean and prepare everything the night before.</li><li>Exercise: set out the working clothes and water bottle ahead of time.</li></ul>Increase the friction associated with bad behaviours:<ul><li>Watch less TV: unplug it and take the batteries out of the remote after each use.</li><li>Avoid phone distractions: leave the phone in a different room. Delete social media apps.</li></ul>

Law of Least Effort

"When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do."Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis. The more you ritualize the beginning of a process, the more likely it becomes that you can slip into the state of deep focus. Make it easy to start and the rest will follow.If the Two-Minute Rule feels forced, try this: do it for two minutes and then stop. The secret is to always stay below the point where it feels like work.

The Two-Minute Rule

Create a commitment device:Is a choice you make in the present that controls your actions in the future and increases the odds that you'll do the right thing.Examples:<ul><li>Use smaller plates to reduce caloric intake</li><li>Ask to be added to the banned list at casinos</li><li>Uninstall social media apps</li><li>Schedule a yoga session and pay ahead of time</li></ul>

Make bad habits impossible

﻿The 4th law (Reward)

We are more likely to repeat a behaviour when the experience is satisfying.The consequences of bad habits are delayed while the rewards are immediate. With good habits, it is the reverse: the immediate outcome is unenjoyable, but the ultimate outcome feels good.

Looking for immediate satisfaction

"The costs of your good habits are in the present. The costs of your bad habits are in the future"

The human brain evolved to prioritize immediate rewards over delayed rewards.Our preference for instant gratification reveals an important truth about success: because of how we are wired, most people will spend all day chasing quick hits of satisfaction. The road less traveled is the road of delayed gratification.Add a little bit of immediate pleasure to the habits that pay off in the long-run and a little bit of immediate pain to ones that don't. The vital thing in getting a habit to stick is to feel successful - even if it's in a small way.Example:<ul><li>Open a savings account and label it for something you want - maybe "Leather Jacket" or "Trip to Europe". Whenever you pass on a purchase, put the same amount of money in the account.</li></ul>

Living in a delayed-return environment

<ol><li>Creates a visual cue that can remind you to act.</li><li>Inherently motivating because you see the progress you are making and don't want to lose it.</li><li>Feels satisfying whenever you record another successful instance of your habit.</li><li>Provides visual proof that you are casting votes for the type of person you wish to become.</li></ol> Never miss twiceMissing once is an accident. Missing twice is the start of a new habit.

Habit Tracking

We are less likely to repeat a bad habit if it is painful or unsatisfying.Create a habit contract:<ul><li>A habit contract is a verbal or written agreement in which you state your commitment to a particular habit and the punishment that will occur if you don't follow through.</li><li>Then you find one or two people to act as your accountability partners and sign off on the contract with you.</li></ul>Make the costs of your bad habits public and painful.

Make it unsatisfying

Habits are easier to perform, and more satisfying to stick with, when they align with your personality and skills.Trial and error:As you explore different options, there are a series of questions you can ask yourself to continually narrow in on the habits and areas that will be most satisfying to you:<ol><li>What feels like fun to me, but work to others?</li><li>What makes me lose track of time?</li><li>Where do I get greater returns than the average person?</li><li>What comes naturally to me?</li></ol>

Play a game where the odds are in your favor

Humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of their current abilities. Not too hard. Not too easy. Just manageable difficulty.The greateast threat to success is not failure but boredom. We get bored with habits because they stop delighting us. The outcome becomes expected.

The Goldilocks Rule

Mastery is the process of narrowing your focus to a tiny element of success, repeating it until you have internalized the skill, and then using a new habit to advance to the next level of performance.Habits + Deliberate Practice = MasteryLife is constantly changing, so you need to periodically check in to see if your old habits and beliefs are still serving you.A lack of self-awareness is poison. Reflection and review is the antidote.

Reflection and Review

"Can one coin make a person rich? If you give a person a pile of ten coins, you wouldn't claim that he or she is rich. But what if you add another? And another? And another? At some point, you will have to admit that no one can be rich unless one coin can make him or her so.We can say the same about atomic habits. Can one tiny change transform your life? It's unlikely you would say so. But what if you made another? And another? And another? At some point, you will have to admit that your life was transformed by one small change."

"Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross. It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine."

James Clear presents strategies to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that help lead to an improved life.
