Visualize Your Definite Purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond having a desire, you need to set a clear, specific goal<\/strong>. You can\u2019t hit a vague target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define your goal<\/a> as clearly as you possibly can. Visualize it happening in vivid detail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many people, making money is the definition of success<\/a>, and that is also Hill\u2019s focus. He offers six steps to turn your <\/strong>desire <\/em><\/strong>for riches into <\/strong>reality.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Define the exact amount of money you want.<\/li>
  2. Decide you are willing to sacrifice to get the money (like how many years of work, where you will live). Nothing comes without a price.<\/li>
  3. Set a specific date for when you\u2019ll have the money in hand.<\/li>
  4. Create a specific plan for getting the money, and start on it right away.<\/li>
  5. Write down on paper the above: how much money you intend to get, what you will give to get it, the date when you will have it, and your plan for acquiring it.<\/li>
  6. Read your statement out loud twice a day, morning and evening. See, feel, and believe that you already have the money.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: You can adapt these steps for your personal goal, even if it\u2019s not money.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These steps don\u2019t require particularly hard work, sacrifice, or a lot of education \u2014 just an understanding that you can\u2019t count on chance or good luck to reach your goal. You must have a definite purpose in life<\/a>, desire it to the point of obsession, and plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
