Applying the Prinicples of Think and Grow Rich

While writing the post 5 Books Everyone Must Read to gain success, I came across another book entitled The Hidden Secret in Think and Grow Rich, by Brian Kim. I skimmed it and have now wrote a summary. You should read Think and Grow Rich, then read this post, then if you want more read this guys book. This is in a pretty raw form. I changed the order a little and have added a few comments but mostly its taken straight from the book. I have not tried to explain any of the concepts further. If you’ve read Think and Grow Rich then you’ll probably get it, if not then in his book he goes into more detail, but even he says to read Think and Grow Rich
first.

It all begins with a burning desire to accomplish one major definite purpose
Select your 1 major definate purpose and focus on it. – your ideal lifestyle can be your 1 purpose, then you can work on acheiving a few thing.. but you still need to focus on one thing at a time. This is like so you want to make x money by the end, but after $y you can focus on something else for a while eg learning a language etc
Write down all your goals and then select which one will have the most positive impact on your life.
Write out exactly what you want to accomplish with the goal you chose and then double check to make sure its definate/specific eg quantity, time frame, how you will know you’ve achieved etc
Make the decision to pursue that one major purpose. Write down you decision.
I (name) will pursue my one major definite purpose of ….
Now take immediate action by moving on to the next step

Grow it into a burning desire
What are you willing to give up for it? Write it in detail. The bigger the sacrafice, the greater the rewards.
Use a mastermind – a group of like minded people, could use forums
Make it a need
Articulate your root desire by asking yourself ‘why’ questions until you get to the bottom of it, use pain and pleasure:
If I dont accomplish xxx, then.. if I do accomplish xxx then… —
Write a future letter and describe how good you already accomplished major definate purpose feel. Use much detail and emotion.
Create a desire card. Write your purpose and the root reason

Have faith you will succeed
Write your ideas down as they come – Otherwise youll forget them, I carry a notebook around with me, also I use windows 7′s sticky notes. Brilliant
Set a realistic deadline – and state it in your purpose
Write you belief down everyday
Put it everywhere you see
Visualise it already achieved at least once a day
Keep all negative influence out – mostly negative people
Read inspirational and motivation material – if your my Facebook friend and/or follow me on Twitter friend then youll know I usually put a quote up every day or so
Keep a ‘why u will succeed’ journal – Write down all the reasons why you will succeed and then everyday write down more reasons. Dont forget your notebook so you can record them during your day
Believe in others – encourage their dreams

Organise a definite plan and take action
Plans will come into place once youve got all the other things in place.
Break them down so you know exactly what to do straight after reading them – step by step instructions, so that if someone else read them they’d know what to do. Just like business. Read E-Myth Revisited! Be definate
Transfer the first 5 things onto a seperate piece of paper
Make a decision to start on the first item, and take action! Dont skip steps
Compile next days to do list before you go to sleep
Question and answer. Write down what you want to do in the form of a question and then just write down all the answers.
Maintain your body – Refer to Healthy Lifestyle post

Never give up
Reframe you failures – what did you learn from it? Everything is learning, Einstein discovered 10000 ways (or a large figure anyway) of how to not make the light bulb before he figured out how to.
Take a break – recharge your batteries.
Be consistant in all steps
