The Psychology Of Success
Everybody has a dream. A fantasy, if you like.Usually it takes the form of something we wouldlike to have, or something we would like tohappen to us. How we respond to this dreamwill decide whether we are successful, or whetherwe remain as we are. We could continue to dream and say 'If only...',knowing that we will never see our dream come true.In this case our dream becomes a SUBSTITUTE for action.Or we can act on our dream and try to make it happen.In this case our dream becomes a MODEL for our action. I think we all have a dream. Be a millionaire, own anice home in the country, own a Rolls Royce, whatever...That dream will only remain a dream for as long aswe let it. In most cases this is forever. Many people think that a dream is just a pleasant fantasy.Well, it can be. But the most important aspect of a dreamis that it is a signal for action. The most incrediblesucc*ess stories all began with a dream. A dream is a goalfor us to achieve a purpose in life - a destination. That last point is very important. A goal is essential ifyou are to achieve great wealth. And it is important thatyou focus on a specific goal in your dream. It is no goodsaying that you want to be rich. This is not specificenough. That would be like going to a bank and asking forplenty of money! To set an effective goal it must be a specific one. Yourultimate goal will be reached via many smaller, short-term'goals'. Remember, a goal is a destination, and you can'tget there if you don't know where you're going. The Power Of Desire Once you know what you want, you must then imagine whatlife would be like when you have it. If you want to be amillionaire, think of how you would spend your free time,and the luxuries you would enjoy. This brings into playthe power of desire. This is an enormously strong emotion.When we desire, we tend to make more positive attemptsto obtain the object of our craving. Buy a small note book and write about a typical day(or day off!) when you are we*althy. Imagine what youwould be able to do with the increased spending power.Write down everything that you would like to do, giventhe chance. Be as explicit as you like, and write it asvividly as you can. When you have finished, read it back to yourself. Whatdoes it do to you? Can you feel yourself aching to beable to live life that way? Does it make you reallyjealous of those who are enjoying that sort of life?If it does, then well done. You have just createddesire. If you have done it well enough, you shouldwant that life so much that it hurts! Read this note book every day. Add more to it if youthink of something else you would like to do. Yourbook will motivate you through desire. It will remindyou of the reward waiting for you - and it will inspireyou to succeed. So now go back over your dream of the future. You arenow going to focus on the things you desire. You nolonger want a Luxury car - you want a Rolls Royce.It isn't A house it's THE house. The one on Accaciaavenue that you pass every day on your way to work.You must now start to focus on your 'goals'. Observing The Reality The next stage of action is to observe the reality.If there IS a house you would like, then visit itoften. By this I don't mean you should stand under anadjacent street-lamp and leer ghoulishly at it untilthe cops arrive! You need only walk past it. Plan whatchanges you will make to it when it is yours, mentallyre-arrange the garden and picture how you will change itto suit you. If you know which sort of car you would buy, look at amodel in a showroom. Find out about it. Get the specifics.Find out how much it costs, what extras are available, andother relevant details. Remember, you are converting yourdream into hard facts. You are creating a specificdestination. By doing this, you will be taking a positivestep toward achieving your dream. Whereas before youwere a thinker, now you are a doer. Positive action ischaracteristic of a successful entrepreneur. Look To The Future An important aspect of of visualizing your dream is theability to look to the future. In doing this you areapplying the same technique as millions of othersuccessful people. You must see your life as it will bewhen your dream comes to fruition. You are preparing yourselffor your own success. Many of the people who buy books on starting a businessactually don't bother starting up. They can't imaginethemselves ever running their own business and earningUnlimited amounts of money. They never see things howthey can be - only how they are. Don't make this mistake.KNOW what you want, KNOW how to get it, SEE how it WILLbe, and then go for it!
