Chapter 5 - Specialized Knowledge (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

Hill points out to us that many people mistakenly believe
“knowledge is power.”  How is knowledge power?  How does
knowledge provide us with power?  The only power we have
when we have knowledge is the imagined power it gives us in our mind
thinking we have power because we have knowledge about some
things.

If we don’t do anything with the knowledge we acquire the
power of that knowledge is lost.  It is information in our head
just sitting there  serving no purpose other than making us
Think we are “smart.”

But if we use that knowledge in bettering any area of our lives we
then make that knowledge powerful.

I can read all kinds of books about gardening, for instance, and have
Ideas on what I want to plant, how I want to plant,  which
plants I want to put where, but if I never take thet steps to actually
get the seeds and begin to put them into the ground, that knowledge
I acquired is of no real benefit to me.  It is just information.

As Hill tells us “Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power
only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end.”

We gain a lot of knowledge by participating in the Mentoring for Free System.

Do we make use of this knowledge and direct it to a definite end or is it just
information filled in our mind with no useful purpose?

The Ball Is In Your Court!

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :

CHAPTER 3 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
FAITH: VISUALIZATION OF, AND BELIEF IN ATTAINMENT OF DESIRE
The Second Step toward Riches

"God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you're going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family." Joel Osteen

It is not enough to have faith in whatever it is you have faith in.  Wealth, prosperity, health or whatever else you desire, will NOT just fall out of the sky no matter how much faith you have.  It comes about with desire, faith and finaly, action.  If you sit around meditating all day, you will not get what you want.

We are told that faith the size of a mustard seed will move a mountain.  Remember too that doubt the size of a mustard seed will be like a brick wall, stopping you from reaching your goals.  Whether faith or doubt will win will depend which one you nurture.  So as Joel Osteen says "boldly declare words of faith", your self talk.

P. P. S."Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists." Blaise Pascal

Are You Burning Your Ships?

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :

CHAPTER 2 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches

Hill tells us "Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success."

On Monday's Leaders' call Michael mentioned that people wh already make enought money to survive comfortable will have difficulty in developing a BURNING DESIRE for money.  I know that is not exactly what he said but it essentially correct.

Why is that?  I believe that it is because they are "comfortable" and not desperate to improve their conditions.  Edwin Barnes was not comfortable with his situation and he desperately needed to improve his life.  He saw a way out, it was a BIG dream but he went for it.  He was committed to becoming an associate of Edison's, not just an employee.

So, if you are comfortable in the way your life is going, how do you develop a BURNING desire to improve?  You simply imagine what would be you ideal life.  Imagine money is no object and you can do what you want, when you want and with whom you want without worrying about money.  Abundance is yours for the asking but --- you NEED to ASK!

So spend some time each day and visualize what your ideal life would be.  As I close my eyes every day I imagine making $1,000,000.00 each month so I can build our dream home, buy that executive jet so we can fly the whole family anywhere in the world.  I believe that this is possible!

It costs NOTHING to dream BIG!

Where Are Your Thoughts Taking You?

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :

CHAPTER 1 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
INTRODUCTION

THE MAN WHO “THOUGHT” HIS WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS A. EDISON

“Whatever the mind is set upon, or whatever it keeps most in view, that it is bringing to it, and the continual thought or imagining must at last take form and shape in the world of seen and tangible things.” Prentice Mulford

We bring about what we think about the most.  If your thoughts are constantly on lack, you will lack in all in your life.  Thoughts of negativity beget negativity.  If your dreams are nightmares, you are feeding your mind with too much negativity and violence.  STOP IT!  Our reams are a reflection of our predominant thoughts and what we feed our mind.   There is no need to watch the news just so we can "know" what is going on.  99% of the news has absolutely nothing to do with us.

If you wstch a lot of TV shows, especially the so called "drama" shows, you are letting in a lot of so called "reality" into your life.  The problem is that the stories depicted are just that, made up stories.  If you are not careful and watch those TV shows you will start to believe that there is a serial killer in every little town in the world.  Scary stuff if you let it run amok in your head.  So why subject yourself to that.

So guard your mind.  Don't watch the news or negative, violent TV.  Say your self talk thousands of times each day until it becomes a habit and even then, keep saying it, and watch the Stop It! video daily.

I am grateful to Michael and Lind for creating MFF and the Mental Cleanse.

Is Your Spidey Sense Tingling? Mine Is

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :

CHAPTER 14 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
THE SIXTH SENSE
THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches

Hill tells us "Having read the chapter, you must have observed that while reading it, you were lifted to a high level of mental stimulation. Splendid! Come back to this again a month from now, read it once more, and observe that your mind will soar to a still higher level of stimulation. Repeat this experience from time to time, giving no concern as to how much or how little you learn at the time, and eventually you will find yourself in possession of a power that will enable you to throw off discouragement, master fear, overcome procrastination, and draw freely upon your imagination.
Then you will have felt the touch of that unknown “something” which has been the moving spirit of every truly great thinker leader, artist, musician, writer, statesman. Then you will be in position to transmute your DESIRES into their physical or financial counterpart as easily as you may lie down and quit at the first sign of opposition."

Does that sound a lot like "Be here a year from now." ???  It sure does to me, Hill is telling us that we have to read this chapter over and over and over again in order for the information to become part of our subconscious mind.  This is how we gain the power to achieve our dreams.

Everyone has access to this sixth sense, though most don't realize it.  I have experienced the toch of the sixth sense.  Edna and I live in Elie, a small town about 20 minutes West of Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba.  A four lane divided highway joins the two communities.  About six years ago, Edna and I were driving to Winnipeg early one morning so we could take care of two of our grand kids.  It had been relatively warm and there were patches of ice on the highway.  Even I was driving well below the speed limit, we hit a patch of black ice at the same time that we hit by a strong gust
of wind causing the car to start swerving.  We ended up on the left shoulder, almost in the ditch, facing west.  I do not know hoe we did not end up upside down in the ditch.  I believe that the sixth sense took over and controlled our car so we would be safe.  Thank you!

Hill tells us that "The sixth sense probably is the medium of contact between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence".  I believe that the sixth sense IS Infinite Intelligence which connects to us through the Creative Imagination.  After all Hill tells us in Chapter 13 that "The Creative Imagination is the “receiving set,” through which the vibrations of thought are picked up from the ether."  He also tells us that "Through the aid of the sixth sense, you will be warned of impending dangers in time to avoid them, and notified of opportunities in time to embrace them."  I believe that in cases of impending dangers, Infinite Intelligence actually takes control of our mind and body to keep us
from harm.

Of course you have to be able to "receive" those vibrations.  If there is too much chatter in your brain you may not hear the hunches and incites AND actually block Infinite Intelligence from taking over in emergency cases.  Which is why some people will suffer harm.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away -- THE BEATLES

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that my good friend John-Paul Plouffe posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :

Chapter 14 : The Sixth Sense (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

Napoleon Hill intimately describes how he developed his own “sixth sense” through the use of his CREATIVE IMAGINATION.  The Method he chose to do this was through the vehicle of his IMAGINARY nightly meetings with his chosen Cabinet Members, otherwise called his “Invisible Counselors”.  This practice helped him to conceive idea’s and impress upon his mind and heart those attributes that he DESIRED in his own Character Traits.  He was “influencing his own mind” in a powerful way, which again developed his sixth sense.

Paul McCartney once described how the song “Yesterday” was written.  It is fascinating, and is the best example that I have heard of to illustrate the use of this ability.  He claimed that while The Beatles were touring in Paris, one early morning, "while still in that 'dream state', being half awake/half asleep”, he tumbled out of bed and this tune was in his head. He thought he had heard this familiar song somewhere before, but just could figure out where or when.  He played the melody to different people in the music industry to make sure he wasn't stealing it. The working title was "Scrambled Eggs" until Paul could figure out lyrics.  McCartney said the breakthrough with the lyrics came during a trip to Portugal in May 1965:

"I remember mulling over the tune 'Yesterday', and suddenly getting these little one-word openings to the verse. I started to develop the idea ... da-da da, yes-ter-day, sud-den-ly, fun-il-ly, mer-il-ly and Yes-ter-day, that's good. All my troubles seemed so far away. It's easy to rhyme those a's: say, nay, today, away, play, stay, there's a lot of rhymes and those fall in quite easily, so I gradually pieced it together from that journey. Sud-den-ly, and 'b' again, another easy rhyme: e, me, tree, flea, we, and I had the basis of it."

“Yesterday” is the most covered pop song of all time, with over 3,000 versions recorded according to The Guinness Book Of World Records. For years, it was also the song with the most radio plays.  Still, at any given time, some version of "Yesterday" is probably being broadcast somewhere.

Did McCartney tap into what is called the “Collective Unconscious” or was he inspired by God, otherwise known as “Infinite Intelligence” by Hill?  Who among us does not have a sense of this song written upon their own heart when listening to it?    

Hill noted that “Being an earnest student of psychology, I knew, of course, that all men have become what they are, because of their DOMINATING THOUGHTS AND DESIRES.  Your own thoughts and DESIRES serve as the magnet which attracts units of life, from the great ocean of life out there. Only the friendly units are attracted—the ones which harmonize with the nature of your DESIRES.”

The sixth sense can be described as the sense through which your infinite intelligence may and will communicate. This principle is the apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated, understood, and applied only by first mastering the other 12 principles. The sixth sense is that function of the subconscious mind that has been referred to as the CREATIVE IMAGINATION. It’s also been referred to as the receiving set through which ideas flash into the mind, sometimes called hunches or inspirations.

The sixth sense cannot be described to a person who has not mastered the other principles of this philosophy, because such a person has no knowledge and no experience to serve as points of reference. The sixth sense is not something one can take off and put on at will. The ability to use this great power comes slowly through application of the other principles we’ve outlined. So begin to develop it now by applying the principles we’ve talked about here.

Hill also said to Remember this: Man can create nothing that he does not first conceive in the form of an idea, a desire. Keep fear out of your mind. Concentrate on the mental picture of yourself achieving your desire. Cut yourself away from the average, from the mediocre, and chart your course on the dream in your heart. These 13 principles will never let you down. You need only remember and use them.

 “Through some strange and powerful principle of mental chemistry, nature wraps up in the impulse [of a] strong desire that something which recognizes no such word as impossible and accepts no such reality as failure.”  Napoleon Hill

How does stuff get inside our minds?

This is an extract from Tom "Big Al" Schreiter's Newsletter.

Well, it isn't magic. Things don't just show up.

We get our beliefs and programming over the years from:

* Programs that we are born with. Things like fear of falling or fear of loud voices.

* What our parents told us to believe. For our first few years, we don't have the mental brainpower to reason things out. So, our parents simply tell us what to believe and what to think.

* Teachers give us beliefs and programs. That is why we go to school, so that we can learn from the experiences of others.

* Friends. Oh my, the beliefs and programs that we pick up from our friends are mind-boggling.

* Television, Internet and newspapers. The more we are exposed to this negative input, the more negative we become. Of course, if we watched and read positive personal development, this would help us create more positive programs.

This list could go on and on, but did you notice something?

*** Most of the stuff inside of our heads was put there by others. We did not consciously make a choice to put it there.

Feel sad? Feel slightly victimized by others?

The reality is: this is how we get stuff inside our heads.

Can we change this? Of course we can. We can make a conscious choice to put new programs and new information inside of our heads. How do we do this? Here are two quick ways.

1. Personal development. This is why there are positive mental attitude audios and books. We need to balance out all the negativity that has been put in our heads.

2. Who we associate with. Yes, people rub off on us. We have all heard the famous saying that we are the average of our four or five closest friends. If we want to improve ourselves, we should improve the people we associate with. I like to use a "soundbite" to describe this phenomenon. My friend Jake Pena says, "If you hang around four broke people, I guarantee you will be number five." (I know what you are thinking. I should hang around skinnier people.)

One of the premier benefits of network marketing is that we get to hang around more positive people. Because our environment is more positive than associating with negative relatives and in-laws, many people are attracted to our business for the personal development aspect only. They would be happy with network marketing even if they did not get a bonus check!

Yes, not every distributor in our organization wants to make network marketing a full-time career. Maybe they already have full-time careers that they feel comfortable with. They just enjoy having a more positive influence in their lives.

Network marketing is easy to share with others, because we have so many great benefits that they can take advantage of.

Are You Using Word Pictures?

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that my good friend Tony Koker posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :

CHAPTER 12 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

Our Subconscious Mind

   As I've written about before, the one thing we have complete
control over is our mind. And, finding techniques to program our
subconscious mind is a key. It is the calculating part of our mind
that takes what we feed it, reformulates and combines to produce
answers for us. It is also useful to echo back emotionally charged
input, like our self-talk or auto-suggestion, to remind and drive
our conscious mind. Now I am going to relate another useful
technique, word pictures.

   Although the stories we create, using word pictures, are also more
powerful when they can be connected with strong emotions, I am going
to focus on a word picture, and leave the emotional connection up to
you and your personal experience.

   Network marketing is not a sales business, it is a relationship
business. I am referring to relationships between like-minded people,
who have established and built a rapport with each other.

   The story and word picture involves this relationship between
people. I like to think of the connection between people, in network
marketing, MLM or direct sales as an elastic rope. When we promote
products, services or a business opportunity, I visualize having this
rope in hand and throwing it out to people. If they happen to catch
it, which many do not, I then find myself with the task of trying to
push up the hill to success in front of us. Have you ever tried to
push a rope? If we do manage to get people behind us and are able to
pull, we find they often dig in their heels, and resist us. This
causes us significant additional and repeated effort.

   On the other hand, if we are promoting ourselves, and how we can
help others, we are free to catch the rope that they throw to us. We
are then able, not only to pull them forward, since they are willing
participants, but we are able go do so that they can be propelled
forward, in front of us. When the rope stretches, we then find
ourselves propelled forward in front of them, again. In this manner
we are altenatively pulling-through and riding forward together.

I am hopeful that you will find this helpful as I do.

Thank you to all who participate in this fantastic pull-through forum.

with gratitude and in service,
Tony and Lisa Koker

Tap Into Your Subconscious Mind

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our Think And Grow Rich forum :

CHAPTER 12 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
THE CONNECTING LINK

The Eleventh Step toward Riches

I always find this chapter facinating.  It is gratifying to find out that you have this vast source of knowledge you can tap into.

Ever since I started following the principles outlined in this book, I have been able to remember more of my life than ever before.  I simply have to close my eyes and think about an event from my past and it is like a movie playing in my head.  Of course the more significant events are easier to remember since they were imprinted more deeply.  Such events as when I saw Edna the first time when she entered the dance hall, when she walked down the aisle on our wedding day,
when I first layed eyes on each of our three children and each of our six grand children.  I could go on and on.  There are so many memories that it is hard to believe that we can store them all in our brain.

So how do you develop this ability.  First you have to quiet the chatter in your mind.  You do that be saying your POSITIVE self talk over and over and over again until it becomes a habit and becomes automatic like a song that you hear and gets stuck in your head.  Make your self talk be that song.

I am grateful to Michael and Linda for creating MFF and the Mental Cleanse.

I am grateful to all who participate in the Mental Cleanse and share their insights.

I am grateful to all who download STS and allow me to help them grow into the person they were meant to be.

I am grateful to infinite intelligence for giving me incites that I can share with you.

It is also quite appalling to realize how catatonic the imagination can become when we hedge our bets, opt for the safer direction at every fork in the path."   John Burdett

Is Your WHY Strong Enough?

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Ed Rands in our Think And Grow Rich forum :

Chapter 9 - Persistence (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

It's January, the season for many people to come up with New Year's resolutions, and then promptly give up on them. Research says just 8% of people actually achieve their resolutions.

Whether it's at new year's, or any time of year, it's quite common for goals to never be achieved, even when it's a matter of life or death. When told by their doctor they need to make some dramatic changes or be dead in two years, well over half the people presented with such a choice think, “Hmm. Give up my life… or give up bacon. My life… or bacon. Let's have some bacon!”

How come?

A huge factor in whether you will reach a goal, or throw in the towel, comes down to one, single word question.

“Why?”

Imagine that inside your mind is a balance scale. One side is labelled “Why To”, the other side is labeled “Why Not To.”

Every time you are faced with a decision, your mind reaches into its repository of info and experience, pulls out a bunch it believes relevant, and places each item on the appropriate half of the scale. Different items will have different significance and, therefore, different weight. Whichever side comes out heavier, that's what you will go with.

Let's imagine that in front of you is a cookie.

That cookie is your favorite flavor. That's a why to.

You have a goal to lose 10 pounds, and that cookie will not help with that. That adds to the why not to side.

But you can just taste it already, and you're salivating like Pavlov's dog. Why to.

Then again, you've been single-mouthedly responsible for eating all the rest of the cookies in the bag. And that's just since this morning. Gluttony guilt; that's a why not to!

But it's just one more cookie. It won't make much of a difference. And.. is that cookie singing? “Lonely. Feelin' so lonely now that I am all on my own.”

Sigh! The scales are close, but I'm going to eat the cookie just so it stops taunting me.

And so it goes, day after day, for every decision, often in a split second. Weigh it out, and go in the direction that is heavier with reasons.

Therefore, in order to achieve any objective, you must have heavier, more impactful reasons on the side of why to.

The heaviest reasons are emotional. It doesn't matter where you are on the scale between a feeler and a thinker, you're still an emotional creature who will often make decisions based on emotions.

We often get derailed from our objectives the easiest by emotional roadblocks. We need emotional rocket fuel to keep us propelling forward.

The bigger, and scarier the objective, the heavier your whys must be for the goal to survive and you to persist. If you're trying to slay a mighty dragon, or wrestle the most terrifying of inner demons, you need a why or whys so powerful they can make you cry. Yes, cry. Anything less potent, and eventually something will overpower you and you'll give up.

Some of the most emotionally powerful motivations are for or about other people.

For example, you might be wanting to eat better and exercise more. Great benefits to yourself. But what about also doing it so you can be lively and energetic to play with your children or grandchildren for years to come, and live long enough to witness significant moments in their lives. Or live long enough to actually grow old with your spouse, or to be more lively and energetic to play with them in the meantime.

Make sure you write down your whys along with your goals. You'll likely need the reminder along the journey.

In conclusion, I'd like to share with you just a couple of my powerful whys, which are carrying me forward through the muck, towards some of my biggest dreams.

I've mentioned before that my mother died when I was very young. I believe one day I will get to see her again. I want to meet her with a smile on my face, feeling I did well with the precious gift of life she gave me.

In a previous lesson I also mentioned that at my funeral, I want lots of people saying I positively impacted their life, directly or indirectly. Even though most of them are unknown to me yet, they are all a why.

As much as I'd like to start today charging into the battlefield to be the one to help, the painful-to-admit fact of the matter is that for the moment, I am still one of the ones lying wounded and bleeding, in need of the help. As I am faced with swallowing my pride, admitting I can't pick myself up by my own bootstraps, feeling temporarily emasculated, and learning to accept the help of others, I have to keep those and other powerful whys constantly in mind, so that I will allow myself time and process to heal.

Ed Rands


So whatever it is you are working on, fuel it with powerful whys, and make 2016 your best year yet.

Thank you Ed for allowing me to post your brilliance

What Is The Biggest Decision You Have To Make?

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Tuula Rands in our Think And Grow Rich forum :

Chapter 8 - Decision (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

What is the biggest decision we have to make when we join
a Network Marketing company?  Is it the decision to actually
join?  Is it the decision to do the first step?

I believe the biggest decisions we have to make
is the decision to make our own decisions.

Hill tells us  "Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to
do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes
through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands
of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all
through life, because some well-meaning, but ignorant person
destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule."

If our family or friends are not building a Network Marketing
business, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE KNOW and therefore,
they are not qualified to make a decision about what we are
doing.  So why do we listen to them?

We listen to our family and friends because we want their
approval; as if their approval is going to make the difference
in whether we are successful or not.   It will only make a
difference if we allow it to, whether for the positive or for
the negative.

Do we approve of everything our family and friends do?
Do they follow all the things we tell them?  Do we agree
with them all the time? The answer is probably "NO" to
all these questions?  So why do we put so much weight
into whether they approve of what we are doing?

Hill tells us "You have a brain and a mind of your own,
USE IT, and reach your own decisions."

Hill also states “TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND
TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.” This is the equivalent of
saying that “deeds, and not words, are what count most.”

Michael tells us to build our business and when we are
making good money our family and friends will see it and
then they may ask us what we are doing; and if they don't
ask, they don't want to know.  So don't tell them.

Just think of all the self doubt, the worry and agonizing we
save ourselves when we make that initial decision of making
our own decisions and not worrying what our family and
friends think.

Hill also tells us "Those who reach DECISIONS promptly
and definitely, know what they want, and generally get it.
The leaders in every walk of life DECIDE quickly, and firmly.
That is the major reason why they are leaders. The world has
the habit of making room for the man whose words and
actions show that he knows where he is going."
DEFINITENESS OF DECISION always requires courage,
sometimes very great courage."

It takes courage to become a leader.  Leaders make decisions
and follow through with those decisions regardless of what
friends and family think.  The only people we should listen to
are the one who have done what we want to do.

The sooner we make the decision to make our own decisions,
the faster we will grow into the leader we want to become.

"To Be Or Not To Be" Or Is It "To Do Or Not To Do"

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Ryan McChesney in our Think And Grow Rich forum :

Ryan McChesney Tampa, FL, United States
Posted: 2016-01-06

Chapter 8

Decision (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

Everybody knows one of the most famous plays written by William Shakespeare called Hamlet. In that play, there was a classic line that really ties into this chapter, “To be or not to be…”

I remember back when I was in high school, and I was just listening to the other students read the play to the class. But when I heard this line, it really stood out to me; and it also made me pause and think about it. It was like when you are driving down the road and you pass your street that you were supposed to turn on. Then you had to slam on the brakes and back up to it. Well, that is exactly what this line did to me as well as the class. We discussed it throughout the class period. However, I did not realize the true meaning behind this line until recently.

This famous line has to deal with our decision making. And decisions are ultimately what makes us either successful or not successful. Let me explain this a little further. So you come up with a thought or dream that you can’t stop thinking about, and your body is fueling up with this burning, white hot desire. You keep picturing it and picturing it and picturing it, but then you decide that you are going to do it. Then you decide that you are not going to do it. And you keep going back and forth just like the saying, “To be or not to be…” When you constantly are deciding that you are going to do it and then not do it, you are like a car that stops and goes. You will ultimately confuse your subconscious, which will then effect the other previous steps towards riches that we have learned.

Therefore, one must learn to make a decision in order to become successful. Even Hill states in this chapter that people who fail to accumulate riches have the tendency to be influenced by others’ opinions, and cannot make a decision. Yeah, it is going to take a lot of action, persistence, and patience to become successful, but it will all be worth it in the end. So don’t procrastinate on making decisions, or else opportunities will pass you by. When you start to make decisions by yourself and quickly, then you will receive this energy that you have never felt before. It is like you have control, and you are know where you are going. Trust me, once I started to apply this and make decisions on my own, I have noticed a different me.

Why You Need To Have Faith And How To Induce IT

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Margi Starr in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

Chapter 3—Faith (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)

I met Michael and Linda Dlouhy seven years ago in Houston, Texas.
I had heard Michael's voice many times on the MFF calls (as I sat quietly
in the shadows) and when I met him in person,  I was even more
awestruck by his larger-than-life personality.

Aware that many of the people at the event would be on tight budgets,
Michael and Linda had coolers filled with food in their suite.  By the end
of the event, I found myself dining at their table, grateful for their
generosity, and mesmerized by every word they spoke.

With such little faith in myself, I found I could hang onto their Faith.

Several years later I was in Florida and the Dlouhy’s took a group of us
to Clearwater Beach. Walking barefoot in the sand to the water's edge,
Michael said, “When you really believe you can do this, it will happen.”

Encouraging words for sure, but so frustrating!  How does one achieve
that level of belief???

Here’s what I’ve discovered…

First, it takes time.  We hear about the newbie marketers who rocket
to the top of their companies within the first year or two.  Hurray for
them, but that is probably the exception.  For most of us, it’s the daily
retraining of our minds and growing our belief systems.

At first it’s fun to do Self Talk and read Personal Growth books.  After
a while, it’s not so fun.  That’s when it becomes work and only the
Warrior perseveres.

It’s the Warrior who continues to do Self Talk, despite hearing the
“No’s” or feeling “blah.”

It’s the Warrior who continues to read Think and Grow Rich over and
over again as well as other personal growth books when others are
reading romance fiction.

It’s the Warrior who continues to stay plugged into Mentoring for
Free calls and company calls.

It’s the Warrior who writes Think and Grow Rich lessons week after
week after week allowing the concepts to sink deeper into the sub-
conscious mind.

It’s the Warrior who retreats into her office to write a blog, post
Instagram pictures or watch a Periscope by business leaders, while
others in the house are watching movies.

It’s the Warrior who continues to Dream when others say,
“Network marketing doesn’t work for me.”

The FAITH part of network marketing cannot be underestimated.
When nurtured day by day, week by week, year by year, it grows
and expands, vanquishing doubt and disbelief.

Faith. Always. Triumphs.

Why You Need A Red Hot Burning Desire

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

CHAPTER 2 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a
commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek."  Mario Andretti

To want something or to wish for something is not enough.  We need to have a burning desire to succeed.  Once we have
developed that all consuming desire to succeed, we will be persistent and succeed.  Nothing will stop us, we will be
able to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

A strong enough desire will blow away all obstacles and energize body and soul.  A strong desire will not be quenched by
failures and disapointment.  So stoke up your desire and keep feeding it so it burns brighter than the sun.

I am grateful to Michael and Linda for creating MFF and the Mental Cleanse.

Clean Out Your House Of Horrors

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that my good friend Ed Rands posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum about Chapter 15 of Napoleon Hill's Thank And Grow Rich:

When a person considers something to be valuable, they instinctively protect it.

Most people put their money into a bank because they believe it will be safer there than under their mattress. Important documents are often kept in a safe deposit box, or at least a fire resistant lockbox.

The US government supposedly keeps quite a lot of gold in Fort Knox, a place so well known for its security that it’s become a simile for impenetrable protection.

Corporations keep their research and development behind doors needing key codes, passcards, and biometric scans.

Houses have locking doors and windows. Higher levels of protection can include an alarm system. The top end includes trained dogs and armed guards.

Our mind, particularly our subconscious mind, contains what makes us who we are.

At the physical level, it runs all the autonomic functions that keep your body going. You breathe, your blood flows, your food digests and distributes to every cell without you giving it an aware thought.

It stores the information we’ve decided is useful, or at least might be interesting to share. The facts and figures and tidbits of knowledge.

It stores a lifetime of experiences. The images, the stories, the emotions, the meaning you interpreted from each event.

And it houses the most valuable communication device ever created. A device which can be trained to hear inspiration from the wisest, most powerful force in the universe.

Without my mind, I’d cease to be me. I’d cease to be anything but dead in an incredible hurry.

Sounds incredibly valuable to me. So why is it that so few take any precautions to protect it?

The untrained masses of the world treat their mind like an unguarded house. The gate is off its hinges, the door is flapping in the wind, and the windows are broken. Every bit of rubbish and riff-raff has taken up residence or at least shown up as an unwelcomed guest.

On the couch, seething and foam at the mouth sits Hatred.

Greed is staring out the window at the neighbor’s house, plotting how to take some of their things without being caught.

Superstition is in the kitchen, freaking out because a black cat just jumped onto the table, causing him to stumble backwards and tip over the salt shaker.

Out in the garage, revenge is sharpening a knife to a razor's edge.

Upstairs, anger is punching holes in the wall with bloodied knuckles.

Pacing around the living room is a hideous green monster of jealousy, ranting about how it should all be his.

What’s that rattling the closet door? Ahh, there it is. As the closet door is opened, Fear scrambles as far back into a dark corner as it can manage.

No protection, no security, no guard. These unwanted guests just sauntered, crawled or scurried in because nothing stopped them.

And that special communication system? It’s hiding under a tarp, shut down, unused and forgotten.

After reading chapter 12 of Think and Grow Rich, along with the rest of the rest of the book and the Mental Cleanse program, we are being educated on the critical value of our subconscious mind, and how important it is that it be guarded.

To put the gate back on the hinges, latch but not lock the door, fix the windows, and begin to systematically drive out the unwanted guests.

We’re being taught how to set and train the guard at the gate. A guard with a very specific list of positivity to allow to take up residence.

Desire seeks entrance. It’s wearing work clothes and comes running up to the gate. It’s radiating so much heat, it could set the place on fire. That’s okay, it’s a good kind of fire. Come on in.

In the bedroom, where it has been used and degraded, Sex is cleaning itself up and making itself truly alluring once more.

Enthusiasm climbs up onto the roof and shouts, “Woo-hoo! Let’s do this!”

Hope is in the backyard, pointing out the most beautiful sunrise ever seen, and how it’s the beginning of the most incredible day ever.

Romance has taken a seat on the patio, where it’s inspired to write a poem about how that sunrise just does not compare to the radiance of its lover’s beauty.

Faith is going about, quietly but confidently assuring everyone that the rebuilding can be done, that the dream and vision are possible.

Finally, as Fear is sent packing, Love comes up from the basement where it’s been locked away. The energy from it is incredible as it runs around hugging everyone, offering words of encouragement and getting to know everyone, building strong relationships.

Meanwhile, the special communication device is uncovered, cleaned off, plugged back in, turned on and tuned in. The volume knob doesn’t go very high, but when the house is still and peaceful, a voice can be heard offering inspiration, ideas and suggestions for an even better rebuild.

Solomon wrote “guard your heart, for out of it spring the issues of life.” Set up your guards, drive out the vermin and the riff-raff, perfect the protection system, and call in the incredible new residents longing to make a home in your mind.

The Brain -- Such A Marvel

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

CHAPTER 13 (Think And Grow Rich -- Napoleon Hill)
THE BRAIN: A BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING STATION FOR THOUGHT

The Twelfth Step toward Riches

The brain is a marvellous thing.  In my opinion, no man made device could ever match it.

The brain consists of two parts, the voluntary and the involuntary.  The involuntary part of the brain controls the functions required to keep us alive such as breathing and our heart beat.  We can control our breathing to a certain extent.  You can hold your breath for a while but eventually the involuntary will force you to breathe again.  The involuntary part is programmed as soon as its functions are required by the growing fetus.

The voluntary part of the brain is a blank slate and must be programmed through trial and error.  Witness the tot trying to walk for the first time.  He learns the use some piece of furniture to stand up and hang on to for a few tentative steps.  She will eventually let go and attempt a few steps on her own and fall down.  By repeating this process time after time, he will eventually be able to take more and more steps so that eventually he will cross the room.  In the process, the brain is learning what works best and uses this knowledge to improve performance.

This process is evident throughout our life.  That is how we learn to ride a bike, drive a car, play a sport, solve puzzles.  We use trial and error and practice.  Theory will not help you much, practice is the only way to really learn anything.  This means that no matter who you are, you can learn anything you set your mind to.  Yes, there will be a lot of failure and frustration at the beginning.  Michael Jordan became great because he practised and practised and practised until he became really good and even then he practised some more.

You can apply this to anything in your life, saying your self talk, talking to your students, leaving phone messages, etc.

The point here is that our brain learns through doing things over and over and over again.  It learns from the mistakes it makes.

Of course, what makes the brain so marvelous is that it is also a receiving and broadcasting station for thoughts.

I am grateful to Michael and Linda for all they do to help the thousands who have the courage to grow into the person they were meant to be.

I am grateful to all who participate in the MFF calls and add their energy to the mastermind so that we can all re-energize.

I am grateful to all who download STS and allow me to help them grow into the person they were meant to be.

The Power Of "I AM"!!!

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that My good friend Steve Porter posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

This week I finished reading one of the best books I have ever found! The book
is entitled "The Power Of I Am" by Joel Osteen. The underlying principle of this
book is that "Whatever follows the words 'I Am' will eventually find you"!

Michael Dlouhy has consistently taught us that the secret to his and Linda's
success in network marketing is their "self talk" or their "I Am's".

So, I have been practicing some new "I Am's" while reading Joel Osteen's book.
And, I want to share them with you.

I Am becoming debt-free and financially free!
I Am attracting leaders into my business easily and consistently!
I Am attracting customers into my business easily and consistently!
With my network marketing business, I Am helping others to achieve their dreams!
With my network marketing business, I Am giving others real hope for a
     better future!
I Am becoming the best student of the network marketing profession!
I Am a Professional Network Marketer and I Am very proud of that fact!
I Am loyal to Michael and Linda Dlouhy and to the Mentoring For Free system!
I Am a child of the Most High God!
I Am able to accomplish anything I set my mind to!
I Am the owner of my mind, my time, and my life!
I Am finding that when I contact e-book downloads they are happy I contacted them!
I Am attracting quality e-book downloads who send me their "Why"!
I Am having fun building my network marketing business!
I Am having fun sharing my network marketing business with others!

I see a great similarity between Michael and Linda's "self talk" and Joel and
Victoria Osteen's "I Am"!

This "self-talk" and "I Am" stuff really works! Try it for yourself!

Steve Porter, Hannibal, Missouri, USA!Thank You Steve for allowing me to repost your brilliance.

Persistence! It Is Absolutely Necessary For Success!

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that My good friend Steve Porter posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum (Think And Grow Rich -- Napoleon Hill):

Hill writes "The majority of people are ready to throw their aims
and purposes overboard and give up at the first sign of opposition
or misfortune. A few carry on despite all opposition, until they
attain their goal".

I am proud of myself. I am proud that I persisted with the Mentoring
For Free system. I signed on with Mentoring For Free on September 2,
2010. Then, I struggled mightily for the next 3 and a half years. But,
I did not give up. Then, after the first 3 plus years, I began to have
breakthroughs.

In the beginning though, I could not force myself to telephone an
e-book download. I was too fearful. I could not prospect people
offline. I was too fearful. My greatest fear was the fear of criticism.

But, I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired that I hung in
there. I saw others who benefited from the Mentoring For Free
system. I believed that if the system could work for them that it
could work for me. I was so frustrated. I had tried to be successful
in network marketing. But, nothing ever worked for me.

My persistence finally paid off. By plugging into the Calls hosted by
Mentoring For Free, the success of others began to rub off on me.
My belief grew a little every week until my belief was strong.
At the same time as I was listening to the Mentoring For Free Calls,
I had purchased all of Tom "Big Al" Schreiter's CDs and books. I know
now that the reason for my breakthrough was the persistence I had
for becoming a better me. Then, one day, I made the decision to
become the best student of network marketing. I made the decision
to become a Professional Network Marketer. And, I began to practice.

I began to practice contacting e-book downloads. I began to practice
contacting prospects. I began to speak up and participate on the
Mentoring For Free Calls. As I began having success with prospecting,
I was even invited to speak on some of the Calls to teach what was
working for me. That really helped to skyrocket my belief level.

My belief level today, thanks to my persistence and never giving up,
is at an all-time high. I have never had the network marketing success
that I am having now. There are no longer any limits or ceilings to who
I may become and to what I may accomplish.

One of my favorite authors is Seth Godin. Seth writes "A different part of
the brain is activated when we consider what's possible as opposed to
what's required". I like this. I have trained my mind to focus on the
possibilities instead of on the requirements. I now know that I may
achieve anything I desire. I now know how to help others to achieve
anything they desire. I still have some fears. But, they do not stop me
anymore. I work through my fears. Every time I feel myself becoming
fearful, I remind myself that fear is nothing more than a state of mind
and that I am in control of my mind. I like to describe fear as follows:
F = False E= Evidence A= Appearing R=Real. False Evidence Appearing
Real. And, since I know that it is false evidence appearing real, it makes
it easier for me to do the thing anyway despite the state of mind I am in.

My self-talks are now powerful and practical. One of my favorites is
"Every one I contact wants to do business with me"! I never would have
gotten to where I am today if I had given up. I owe my present success
to my mentors who believed in me until I was able to believe in myself.
And, I owe my present success to the fact that I became persistent,
doing a little each day, growing a little more each day.

I would not be where I am today if it were not for the Mentoring For Free
system. I thank God every day for Michael and Linda Dlouhy and for them
creating this one-of-a-kind lead-generation and training system that allows
ordinary network marketing distributors to become network marketing leaders
and success stories. I am having the time of my life writing my success
story!

-Steve Porter, Hannibal, Missouri, USA!

P.S. I hope it does not take You 3 plus years like it did me for You to
achieve and to experience your breakthrough. But, if it did, would You be
persistent enough to hang in there until You achieved and experienced your
breakthrough like I did?

Thank You Steve for allowing me to repost your brilliance.

Imagine! Just Imagine What You Want!

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that My good friend Steve Porter posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum (Think And Grow Rich -- Napoleon Hill):

Imagination! I had a vivid one as a child. I believe that all of us did.
As a child, there was nothing we believed we could not become
and do. I remember sitting on the living room floor watching Perry
Mason on television and remarking to my parents that was what I
wanted to do when I grew up. Those Perry Mason shows were the
first seeds planted in my mind that led to me becoming a trial lawyer.

When I was age 19, back in 1977, I attended my first network
marketing event. I still had a vivid imagination then. I imagined
someday having a large network marketing organization that allowed
me to have a full-time residual income so that I could live my life on
my terms. That network marketing event was the first time I was
introduced to the concept of residual income.

Funny that I did not learn about network marketing in high school.
Nor about residual income. Most of us learn in school how to become
employees.

I tried network marketing 3 times before I discovered the "Success In
10 Steps" e-book. And, each time, I failed and miserably. I did not know
what to say or what to do. It was not until I discovered Mentoring For
Free that I learned what to say and what to do.

Last month, I had the highest volume I have ever had in a network
marketing business. When you have success it makes you want more
success. And, because of Mentoring For Free, success makes you want
others to experience success also.

I have been a trial lawyer for over 26 years now. I achieved that dream
that was created by my imagination from watching those Perry Mason
shows on television. Now, I have another dream. And, that is to, in my
lifetime, create that large network marketing organization and the full-time
residual income so that I may spend my remaining years living life on my
terms.

I will never ever forget Michael Dlouhy, in August of 2010, asking me this
question, "Steve, what can I do to help you own your life"? Just by him
asking me that question, I got my imagination back. Michael helped me to
start dreaming again.

My imagination today allows me to envision what my perfect life will look
like. I envision being able to go to bed when I am ready and not because
I have to be somewhere early the next morning. I envision being able to
wake up when I am done sleeping and not because I have to shut off the
electronic Rooster. I envision being able to spend each of my remaining
days working with my team and helping them to achieve their dreams. I
envision being able to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and
for as long as I want. I want to be able to take road trips with my business
partners and stay anywhere we please for as long as we want because
there are no jobs anyone has to get back home to. I envision being able
to give 20% or more of my income to my church and favorite charities and
to see the people who may be blessed thereby. I envision living a life of
service to many so that when I pass on, there are many people who can
say, "That guy really helped me during his lifetime"!

Most of what I envision today would have never been imaginable had it
not been for Mentoring For Free. And, that is why I so highly value this
proven system. I am thankful everyday that God led me to download the
"Success In 10 Steps" e-book. It changed my life for the better!

Steve Porter, Hannibal, Missouri, USA!

P.S. Because of Mentoring For Free, I am able to imagine like I did when
I was a child.
