How to Achieve Your Dreams and Wishes!

Organized Planning

The Sixth Step to Success …

Tell me about your dreams, your biggest hopes and wishes! I want to hear about them! I know that they’re inside you somewhere. We all have them. My question is, what are you doing to make them a reality? Or, like most people, have you given up on them being a reality? 

This is the plague of our world! We want things (beautiful things). We want experiences (amazing experiences). We want relationships (loving relationships). But for any number of different reasons, we give up on ourselves and the dreams and wishes remain just that – dreams and wishes.   

What are we missing? What is it that really keeps us from realizing our dreams and wishes? 

More often than not, the issue lies in our plan, or lack of one. 

Napoleon Hill, in his classic book Think and Grow Rich gave a six-step recipe for success. The steps are:

1. Determine exactly what you want to have
2. Determine what you are willing to give and / or do to achieve the results you want
3. Set a date that you want the results by
4. Create a plan and begin whether you are ready or not
5. Write down a detailed summary of what you want to achieve, why you want it, what you’re doing to make it happen, etc. The more clearly you write this the better.
6. Read your story out loud no less than two times a day – early morning and late evening prior to going to bed. Truth be told, the more you read (and visualize) the story the better.

So what is the importance of these six steps? They are helping you create the plans that can lead to whatever you want. They help you …

• Clearly define what you want
• Helps to see what needs to be done to make it happen
• Setting a date help create the urgency to take action
• Writing a plan is the impetus to turns the “dream” into a “reality.”
• Reading the story often helps to develop the belief that we can have what we want, as well as, believing that we deserve it.

At some point, we all need to learn how to turn our dreams and wishes into reality. 

How do we do this?

By learning to organize our thoughts into a plan that will lead to the results and success we want. What happens through this process is that we grow and mature from the experience which makes it easier for us to do it again on the next dream, the next wish. 

We really are more powerful than we realize. We just have to learn how to apply the recipe for success so we can achieve our dream and wishes. You can do this! I know you can!

If you’re not sure how to get started, let me offer a suggestion. Pick up a copy of Think and Grow Rich and start to study it. It can help you see the steps that so many other people have already used to achieve their dreams and wishes. It will help you see how you can do it too!

Let me offer one more suggestion. If you are planning to study this material, you might find it helpful to study it with a group of like-minded people that can help you understand, embrace and apply these principles. The real impact of this book came when I joined a study group led by a guy named Tim Burgess. He was doing a weekly conference call where we studied a chapter a week from Think and Grow Rich. That was over ten years ago. 

Tim continues to lead a weekly study series on Think and Grow Rich. Today he calls the study series Think and Grow Rich Simplified. Tim has personally been studying this book every day for over twenty-four years and I can tell you that this material truly saved his life. To learn more about Tim’s story join him some Thursday at 9:00 PM (EST). This book has made such a massive impact on Tim’s life that he now has a passion for helping other people see the power of these principles. If you would like to learn more about Tim’s study group click on the following link - Think and Grow Rich Simplified.
