Three Hot Tips to ‘think and Grow Rich’
May 31st, 2009
Author: adminTim Ryan asked:
If you’ve ever come across a book by Napoleon Hill called ‘Think and Grow Rich’ you will undoubtedly be aware of the fact that you can deliberately create wealth in your life by manipulating the thoughts in your mind. In fact this remarkable book claims to have launched a million millionaires and that is probably no exaggeration either!Anyway here are three tips that I came across recently that can help you super-charge your life to attract riches:This first technique was first introduced to me by none other than Ted Ciuba the gentleman who has just re-released the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ in his own unique style. Let’s just say he knows a thing or two about attracting wealth. Real -Estate, Stocks, Shares, Internet Marketing you name it he’s made heaps of money using these principles.In your wallet place a 100 dollar note. Every time you walk down the street or past some shops look through the window and mentally spend that 100 dollar note. Just go ahead and see yourself buying whatever it is that you want. By having the bill actually in your wallet you can really gain a feeling of certainty that you can actually have those things. This creates the feeling of abundance and wealth inside you that through the ‘Law of Attraction’ will enable you to automatically attract the wealth that you desire. Whilst doing this you may not actually be wealthy and abundant but you will start to actually feel wealthy and abundant which is what will enable you to become so. The thought first then the thing, remember that is the law.This next technique I came across in a book entitled ‘Ask and it is Given’ by Esther and Jerry Hicks’. In a nutshell it asks you to pay more attention to what you do want i.e. a pay rise, a new sports car, and more sales etcetera than what you do not want. Instead of focusing your thoughts on your job and constantly thinking about how little it pays and how you can only just cover your bills each month, consciously switch your thoughts to thinking about the new job and pay rise you are going to get shortly. Do not focus on the lack of wealth, instead focus on the presence of wealth. This ensures that your mind is starting to feel wealthy and in doing so can utilize the law of attraction to naturally bring you that money. This process need to be made habitual and is more of an ongoing process than the other two.This third wealth tip is from the ‘Positive Thinking Guy’ and is a very simple way of utilizing your free brain time more proficiently. Ask yourself this….do you ever let your thoughts wander and drift along aimlessly without consciously controlling them? If so then you are missing out on valuable wealth attracting time. Here is an easy way to immediately develop positive wealth attracting thought habits. Start by saying to yourself ‘What I’d really like is….’ then go right ahead and finish the sentence concentrating on really seeing the object of your desire in your possession. Once you have done this repeat the statement with a new desire and then go ahead and list as many objects of desire as you can, each time really see them in your minds eye. Again here we are using the ‘Law of Attraction’ to enhance and improve our life.At first this may feel awkward but you will soon notice that a thought will always attract a similar thought so you should be easily able to string together a long line of positive wealth attracting thoughts. Make a mental note of how long you made the list and next time try and better this tally. Use this technique as often as possible and try and make it at a daily habit, maybe on the commute to work each day. So there you have it, three sure fire ways to attract wealth into your life. However just reading this article won’t help….actually putting the words into practice will! Visualize then actualize that is the key, enough said.

“hell No! Its not My Job to Do It!” –the Secret of Doing More
May 27th, 2009 Author: adminRadin M.N. asked:
How many times have you encountered the above? I bet more then enough that up to this point in your life you have become a strong believer of not doing things outside your pay slip. I too, just like you, am a strong believer of “You get what you paid” motto. More than often I don’t just decline; but fight to set my rights on not doing things that I weren’t suppose to do.
It is so obvious. Why should I be doing more than I am paid for? I am paid for ten dollars, and I will give you ten dollars of value. Try asking your local diner for an extra chunk of chicken and not on earth they will give you that unless you pay more. You see hundreds of Nokias on sale and always the cheapest one give you the lousiest quality. You receive hundreds of resume applying for the executive post but always the lowest-asking salary is obviously the one without experience or skill to deliver. In this dog-eat-dog world, nothing comes outside of its value of purchase. There are almost none if not very few of individuals who are willing render extra service that is out of their salary scope.
However, Napoleon Hill, the historical and infamous success-steps writer believes in the opposite. He said that we should by all means give extra service on top of what we are paid for, and believe it or not, he has very good reasons for that. This is a controversial idea, and I imagine that most of you despise this theory. But please read on as the secret unravels.
The secrets to long-term success
It is so rare for someone (or in fact a company) to give extra service on top of the money that they get. This has excellently created a brilliant opportunity for those who are willing to give anything extra. Say in your office environment, everyone limits their service to what there are paid for, which in common sense, is perfectly normal. The accountant will never serve coffee for the guests. The salespeople will never involve in technical testing of products. The managers will never do the tedious work of the secretary. All work is kept within the paid domain. But if you, out of those hundred employees, is willing to do things that you weren’t paid for, then there would be a stark contrast between you and the others.
I am not suggesting that you do things that are not necessary. You don’t have to wipe your neighbor’s desk every morning. Let alone wiping your boss chair before he takes a seat. I am suggesting you to render a bit of extra work that is meaningful, and first start with your scope of work. This allows you to be recognized not only by your superiors, but your fellow colleagues as well. And in the long run, you will be well paid off not only in terms of promotion, but more importantly people will trust you as a person that they can rely on. Say you are paid to attend to 10 clients per month. Why don’t you extend that to say, 12 clients?
If you are generous enough to extend your service even outside your work scope, you are presented with another excellent opportunity. You get to learn new things, get new ideas, and expand your capability. This ability will definitely serve as your insurance in future, in case you are faced with situations you never handled before. Say that you are the boss driver and most of the time you have much free time. Why don’t you sit with the salespeople and perhaps aid them to find new customers? Hell no you said, but it’s worth a try.
You shall reap what you sow
It is well understood that there is a Law in the universe that says you will receive, if you give. Your compensation wouldn’t be instantaneous though, but in time, you will be paid. Believe in this, as this Law has repeated itself too many times in history, and I have personally experienced this. In the beginning of my career with my current employer, I was more than often told to do things that I wasn’t supposed to be doing. For example I was made responsible for the company’s website. “A website!” I asked them. “You need to pay me at least an extra grand for that!” However I completed the site with no increment nor bonuses that year. Continually, I did things outside my work scope, as if work alone is not enough. Surprisingly, and unnoticeably, within three years, I am now sitting on a promoted position and my salary is currently more than double of what I first earned. I did not only become a pro in making websites, but I also excelled in doing the job that I am paid for. By doing additional unpaid jobs has enabled me to broaden my skills set and heighten my productivity.
I am not blowing my own whistle here. What I am trying to tell is that, despite how right you are when it comes to doing your job within your pay, it is a well worth activity to help out your colleagues, and to render that extra service that nobody is willing to even think of.
It is evident
When I made careful observations, I found that this suggestion by Dr. Hill is actually being practiced in many successful organizations. In the place where I live, Tesco and Carrefour are in constant battle to win each others customers. An in general what they did is giving more than what they are paid for. They give redeemable credits when you spent on a certain amount. Same goes to automotive companies; it is common nowadays to have 3 years free maintenance for a new car purchase. It is worth noticing that the one who gives more value is favorable by most if not all of the customers.
I am involved in a freelance photography work. I got a total of five different customers this month and most of them choose me not because I am the cheapest, but because I give them extra photos and extra working hours. By giving out an extra hour and more pictures than what the market dictates, suddenly I am full with requests!
Be cautious though
However, with office politics, this kind of attitude will make you either a hero, or a traitor. People will always judge you with these two traits, so make sure if you are rendering extra service, it is a meaningful one. Don’t let your friends call you a busybody or worse a butt-licker in the end!

Do you think the rich has more opportunities than others? I have a friend whose family is rich and educated. She grew up with the best things out there. Things that mid or low class wouldn’t have. She even went to the top school and etc. Got a nice job and etc. No matter what I do, I just can’t be better than her.

Think and Grow Rich - a Summary of Napoleon Hill Book
May 25th, 2009 Author: adminAldian Prakoso asked:
What do you want the most? Is it money, fame, power, contentment, personality, peace of mind, or happiness?
Napoleon Hill summarized in his book Think and Grow Rich that there are 13 unique characteristics that every wealthy, successful and powerful man and woman has. He called these characteristics the Thirteen Steps to Riches.
No one was born with any of these characteristics. All were born the same. These characteristics are learned and developed to be the second nature. What are these characteristics, the Thirteen Steps to Riches?
1. Burning desire. It’s the starting point of all achievement. You must have burning desire.
2. Faith. Visualization of, and belief in attainment of desire.
3. Auto-suggestion. The medium for influencing the subconscious mind.
4. Specialized knowledge. Personal experiences or observation. You must focus in one area and concentrate there.
5. Imagination. Remember Law of Attraction?
6. Organized planning. The realization of desire into action.
7. Be decisive in nature. The mastery of procrastination.
8. Persistence. The sustained effort necessary to induce faith.
9. Surround yourself with master mind. It’s your driving force.
10. The mystery of *** transmutation.
11. The subconscious mind. The connecting link.
12. The brain. A broadcasting and receiving station for thought.
13. The sixth sense. The door to the temple of wisdom.
Among all of those thirteen characteristics, these five are the most important:
1. You must have burning desire.
2. You must have a specialized knowledge and concentrate there.
3. You must be decisive in nature.
4. You must be entrepreneur in spirit. Big money is made when there’s no guarantee.
5. You must surround yourself with master minds.
Before reading Think and Grow Rich, you must be aware that this book was not written to entertain. You can’t digest its contents properly in a week or a month.
Think and Grow Rich is a textbook on individual achievement of the experiences of hundreds of America’s most successful men. It must be studied, digested, and meditated upon. You must underline the sentences that impress you the most, and later go back to these marked lines and read them again. You will absorb its contents and make them your own.
What do you want the most?
If all of those successful men could achieve their dreams, so can you. Remember that no one was born with these successful characteristics. Everyone was born the same.

1 Comment »There’s a Whole System Out There Running Your (and Everone Else’s) Universe.
May 15th, 2009 Author: adminDr. Robert C. Worstell, Phd asked:
Of all these self help books, all those self improvement tapes, all the religious dogmas, every ideology, there is a single underlying system which explains how everything works and fits together.
Woooof. That’s one heady statement to make.
But I’ve been working this over for over 8 years now as a steady research and collecting notes the earlier 40-some - on just about everything that crossed my path. So when I say that I’ve been able to boil down the universe into a single system, it just might be plausible.
The basic is back on the farm. Did you know that Nature runs the same, no matter what you believe, or practice, or what party you belong to? True. Plant a seed anywhere on this planet and as long as it has enough sunlight, enough nutrients, and is warm enough to do it’s job - you’ll have a sprouted plant. Keep these conditions long enough and that plant will make seeds so you can make more plants.
Heated greenhouses in Antarctica prove it.
So how do all these religions say they are the only way out and that all others are (whatever)? They are simply running marketing silos, trying to build a monopoly of belief and so finance their buildings and what-not.
That’s a bit cruel, and perhaps steps on everyone’s toes at once. But if you analyze organized religions against marketing data, that’s what falls out. (There is even the modern saw that whatever party wins the election, they both act the same when in office.)
Back up a bit.
All - and I mean all - religions and philosophies contain certain common points. One of these is the “Golden Rule”. Every single historical belief-system we have on this planet has recognized that there is a definite reciprocity on this mud-ball we live on. What ever you do has consequences - and these all come back to haunt or elevate you. Your choice - treat people like manure and you’ll get manure dumped on you. Treat people with respect and you’ll get respect. Be charitable, get charity. Help others, get helped.
On and on and on.
Most nations have outlawed capital punishment - who wants to cast that first stone?
I think that if you looked hard enough, you’d also find some recognition of the Law of Attraction in all these - but it’s a different search. I know it’s been written about in both the New and Old Testaments. And Huna mentions it - which is the oldest-known philosophic system still practiced on this planet.
Of course, this above would then be a complete study all on its own. And I’ll leave that to theologists to study up as part of the postgraduate studies. I’ll keep to the broad strokes.
Let’s just go with this idea that, like Nature, we are all living on this planet under the same rules. We all have bodies which are different hues and shades, but all function the same. There are only so many blood types, and they can all be fixed with varying degrees of success when they get broken.
It is just logical that all these religions, cults, and belief-systems (extremist, moderate, conservative) work because of that underlying common system, not in spite of it.
How would I go about explaining it?
1. Take Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” as the base, and back up to Huna’s 7 principles to explain how this works.
2. Expand to his Law of Success, and widen the scope to include Haanel’s Master Key System, as well as Mental Chemistry.
3. Compare with Science of Getting Rich.
4. Examine the phenomenon of “The Secret”, which is pushing the Law of Attraction.
5. Review Atkinson’s works along this line, as well as Earl Prevette.
6. Back this up through Genevieve Behrend to Thomas Troward.
7. Which then brings us right back to Huna as an overall and underlying base for all modern self help.
8. Then come forward through current religions to show their similarities and posit the point that all religions (and all belief-systems/world-views) depend on a common system of philosophy in order to work at all.
9. Now, the base foundation for a common system could be laid, taking just the key points held in common by all above authors and Huna.
And this is just the beginning. Once you lay out the basic principles, personal techniques could be approached, so that anyone could improve just about anything in their lives (thought being the first point of creation, any system of thought would then enable anything to be created/achieved/acquired).
As well, an approach to world peace is possible. If all war is either economic or ideological in origin, it would be possible to show that everyone would be richer if you allowed free commerce, as well as other human freedoms.
This underlying system does exist. Interestingly, it isn’t a question of proving it, but disproving it… Because it runs on faith for fuel. Faith is based on knowledge and understanding. Those that doubt only limit themselves. The best gains to be had are by thoroughly immersing oneself in the subject. You can’t try out a pair of boots to see if they fit and wear well unless you put them on, first.

What ever you do has consequences - and these all come back to haunt or elevate you. Your choice - treat people like manure and you’ll get manure dumped on you. Treat people with respect and you’ll get respect. Be charitable, get charity. Help others, get helped.
On and on and on.
Most nations have outlawed capital punishment - who wants to cast that first stone?
I think that if you looked hard enough, you’d also find some recognition of the Law of Attraction in all these - but it’s a different search. I know it’s been written about in both the New and Old Testaments. And Huna mentions it - which is the oldest-known philosophic system still practiced on this planet.
Of course, this above would then be a complete study all on its own. And I’ll leave that to theologists to study up as part of the postgraduate studies. I’ll keep to the broad strokes.
Let’s just go with this idea that, like Nature, we are all living on this planet under the same rules. We all have bodies which are different hues and shades, but all function the same. There are only so many blood types, and they can all be fixed with varying degrees of success when they get broken.
It is just logical that all these religions, cults, and belief-systems (extremist, moderate, conservative) work because of that underlying common system, not in spite of it.
How would I go about explaining it?
1. Take Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” as the base, and back up to Huna’s 7 principles to explain how this works.
2. Expand to his Law of Success, and widen the scope to include Haanel’s Master Key System, as well as Mental Chemistry.
3. Compare with Science of Getting Rich.
4. Examine the phenomenon of “The Secret”, which is pushing the Law of Attraction.
5. Review Atkinson’s works along this line, as well as Earl Prevette.
6. Back this up through Genevieve Behrend to Thomas Troward.
7. Which then brings us right back to Huna as an overall and underlying base for all modern self help.
8. Then come forward through current religions to show their similarities and posit the point that all religions (and all belief-systems/world-views) depend on a common system of philosophy in order to work at all.
9. Now, the base foundation for a common system could be laid, taking just the key points held in common by all above authors and Huna.
And this is just the beginning. Once you lay out the basic principles, personal techniques could be approached, so that anyone could improve just about anything in their lives (thought being the first point of creation, any system of thought would then enable anything to be created/achieved/acquired).
As well, an approach to world peace is possible. If all war is either economic or ideological in origin, it would be possible to show that everyone would be richer if you allowed free commerce, as well as other human freedoms.
This underlying system does exist. Interestingly, it isn’t a question of proving it, but disproving it… Because it runs on faith for fuel. Faith is based on knowledge and understanding. Those that doubt only limit themselves. The best gains to be had are by thoroughly immersing oneself in the subject. You can’t try out a pair of boots to see if they fit and wear well unless you put them on, first.
