How To Build Practical Plans for Success in 4 Steps

Cover via Amazon

I'm back with a quickie but goodie from Napoleon Hills' Think and Grow Rich. This one is from Chapter 6 on Organized Planning - The Crystallization of Desire Into Action.

As those of you who follow this blog or Napoleon Hill's teachings already know from 6 Steps to become rich and prosperous: Use desire to slake your thirst for riches, planning is an essential component on your path to success as stated in the fourth step.

A solid, practical plan is the only way to transform your desire to be rich into real money and this naturally segues into how to build practical plans for success in 4 steps:

1. Ally yourself with a group if as many people as you may need for the creation and carrying out of your plan or plans for the accumulation of money using the "Mastermind" principle. This point is absolutely essential; do not neglect it!  I have already touched on the Mastermind principle in How to successfully mastermind a reading group in 9 steps and I will return to it in detail since I have successfully participated in two mastermind groups over the past months. 
2. Before forming your Mastermind group, decide what advantages and benefits you can offer the individual members of your group, in return for their cooperation. No one will work indefinitely without some form of compensation. No intelligent person will either request or expect another to work without adequate compensation, although this may not always be in the form of money.
3. Arrange to meet with the members of your Mastermind group at least twice a week, and more often if possible, until you have jointly perfected the necessary plan or plans for the accumulation of money.
4. Maintain perfect harmony between yourself and every member of your Master mind group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The Mastermind principle cannot obtain where perfect harmony does not prevail.

 

To paraphrase Bob Proctor, if you can figure out out to achieve your goals, it's not big enough!
