CHAPTER 6
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Fifth Step toward Riches
IMAGINATION: THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND is indeed just that. An extra room in my home where plans are drawn out and the destiny of my future is created. Just think of it, it is a wonderful place to come and collect my day dreams and then craft them into reality.
I have discovered over time that the dreams that I carefully plan out and the put action to in real time have a way of becoming reality. Those that sit on a shelf in a corner of my workshop and pop in and out of my mind never seem to come to fruition.
Hill say's, "MAN’S ONLY LIMITATION, within reason, LIES IN HIS DEVELOPMENT AND
USE OF HIS IMAGINATION." How does one develop imagination you might ask . Here is what I have discovered. Now that I am "older and wiser" I revisit my childhood from time to time and re-call the hours of activity outside playing with my friends and using our imagination to create a world of what ever we desired right down to collecting sumack leaves for our money and we had plenty of it and could buy what ever our hearts desired and our minds could imagine.
We didn't have television, computers,i Phones and the like to alter our imagination. The world evolves and changes and it is a good thing if we don't allow ourselves to be controlled by it. That's exactly what happens as we grow older, we allow the gadgets to take over our brain and we stop dreaming and imagining what is possible and instead we only hear the chatter and the noise of the world as it goes speeding past us.
It's not too late for anyone, no mater what season of your life you find yourself. Hill says,"Your imaginative faculty may have become weak through inaction. It can be revived and made alert through USE. YOU CAN DO IT!(I can do it!) IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE! Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes. Ideas are products of the imagination.
Michael had an idea and created the Mentoring For Free community. We all have an idea that is waiting for us to give it permission to become. Like the clerk who risked his entire savings, IDEAS CAN BE TRANSMUTED INTO CASH THROUGH THE POWER OF DEFINITE PURPOSE, PLUS DEFINITE PLANS.
I love this chapter because it gives me so many ideas and stimulates my imagination. I'm thinking it should be a required daily read especially when we fall victim to the thought that network marketing doesn't work. Nothing works when we let our imagination and our ideas die.
Thank You Michael and Linda for your continued support and this fabulous system and community that stimulates my imagination and the use of it.

Specialized Knowledge
Chapter 5 - Think And Grow Rich
Hill is very clear - if you want to pursue the "grow rich"
part of his philosophy, you must specialize - and you
must become single - minded in pursuit of your specialty.
If you know your aim or purpose and are committed to
it, it is only logical that you will want to learn all you can
about it.
Napoleon Hill and his co-author W. Clement Stone, devised a
formula called R2/A2, a method for gaining knowledge that
also has a relationship with the law of attraction.
R2 = Recognize and Relate. A2 = Assimilate and Apply
In order to attain any goal in life first, you must learn to
recognize, relate, assimilate and then apply the principles
from what you see, hear, think and experience.
The blueprint then, for gaining knowledge, is treating
everything in your life as a source of creative ideas.
The IDEA is the main thing.
Back of all ideas is specialized knowledge. IMAGINATION
is the one quality needed to combine specialized knowledge
with ideas into an organized plan that yields the desired
outcome.
Sounds simple enough when you read it. I have lots of Ideas,
always have, ever since I was a child. It's what keeps me going and
moving forward.
My personal experience........
Some of my ideas have materialized and some have not.
Interesting, now that I think about it. One of the latest ideas
was to have a home that was designed exactly the way
I wanted it.
My Imagination was running full steam ahead
as I began to organize my plan. With pencil
in hand and graph paper ready the idea began
to take shape. Once I had all my ideas on paper,
it was ready for the specialized knowledge of
a contractor to make it happen.
I am now living in the home that was once an
idea in my mind. Specialized knowledge may
be found just around the corner - any corner...
You can make it happen when the desire is
strong enough. I did it once, I can do it again.
For me, Mentoring For Free is the specialized
knowledge that will take my desired idea to,
successfully build the most incredible team of
like minded leaders in the history of network
marketing, easily and consistently through
education and team work, to it's tangible
existence.
But.....It's up to me to prepare and execute the plan.
My observations.......staying close to the fire, being
coach-able and moving into action, will, without a
doubt in my mind, take my business and my personal
life to the next level of experiencing the time freedom
that is possible when you follow a proven duplicatable
system. Mentoring For Free has been that system for me.

Autosuggestion
Chapter 4 - Autosuggestion
Autosuggestion is self-suggestion so what I feed
my mind is suggesting the out come of my life.
Junk in Junk out! I am in absolute control over
the material, which reaches my subconscious
mind and ultimately the way I live out my life.
I did not grow up with the influence of television
as a child. I recall playing outdoors with my
friends and creating a special place in the woods
where we could pretend how our lives would be
when we grew up.
It was a safe place, away from the reality of the
real world of hurt, violence and disappointment.
As I travel the road of life, I go back to this place
often and recall the dreams and hopes that I had as
a child.
I am so grateful now, as look back over the years
that I had the opportunity to explore and feed my
mind with hopes and dreams. The seeds of
autosuggestion were planted, although I did not
realize it then.
Life got in the way of my hopes and dreams and
slowly I forgot about them. You see, I did not feed
them with the right food, I see that now.
Since finding Mentoring For Free my dreams and
hopes have awakened again. That seed planted so
many years ago has been awakened.
It’s springtime and the weeds must go so the
flowers of hope can once again bloom as they did
in the woods of my childhood hide-away place.
A place where I once owned my life no matter
how bad my surroundings were. I controlled my
life in that special place of my childhood and I can
do it again, if for no other reason than because I
deserve it.
It’s time to claim that childhood dream, to speak
of that dream, to feel, taste, hear and see that
dream become my new reality.
So, what does this have to do with
autosuggestion? It’s awakening the seed of desire;
pulling up the weeds and feeding my mind with
the things that will nurture and feed
life back into that dream.
By following the instructions that Hill has put
forth in chapter 4 a new door has been opened
and the possibilities are endless.
While I still grieve the loss of my husband,
reading and journaling ease the pain.
"There is a time for everything, and a season
for every activity under heaven:"
-Ecclesiastes 3:1
It is my hope and prayer that I may touch
someones life in ways that help them grow
stronger as a person and true friend.

Chapter 15- How To Outwit The Six Ghosts of Fear
Taking inventory and finding the "Ghosts" that stand in my way:
The first of the six basic fears is the fear of POVERTY.
I grew up in poverty of material possessions, but my child's
mind saw riches as I showed my childhood friends
through our new home that came with the luxury of
running water, an indoor bathroom an electric stove
and refrigerator that didn't need ice blocks to keep it
cold. I was 12 years old and in my mind, we were rich.
I have been on a mission ever since, to accumulate
riches in the form of financial freedom only to have it
elude me and the battle to go on continues like the
rabbit chasing a carrot that's tied to a string.
So, what is it that stops me from reaching the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Hill says, "if you want riches, you must refuse to
accept any circumstance that leads toward poverty"
The staring point is desire and desire I have had
from childhood. accepting a poverty mind set now
would be like giving up before the race is over.
Fear of poverty is a state of mind, nothing else!
Possessions are just things that can be replaced.
The mind is too powerful to waste.
A new chapter of my life has opened it's door.
There are two roads on the other side of the door.
One leads to living life in fear of being alone and having
to much month left at the end of my money. That only
leads to giving up on my dreams and settling for what
ever life will give me.
The other road leads to new adventure, new possibilities
and self discoveries. I cannot say that I have no fear,
for stepping into unfamiliar territory is a bit frightening.
However, staying focused on my desire and taking one
day at a time will peel the layers of fear away until I
reach the fruit of my thoughts and dreams.
I have the opportunity to create a new reality for myself
right now. There is nothing in my way except myself
and my thoughts. Taking a lesson from my childhood,
I am rich, look around, I have the gift of unconditional
love from a Master Mind family of friends here at
Mentoring For Free and that is priceless beyond any
measure.
The first and best victory, Hill writes, is to conquer self.
The power of the mind is like the power of Z06 Corvette.
First you fill it with the right fuel, engage the engine and
step on the gas. In the blink of an eye it takes you form
0 to 100 in a heart beat. And that's the power of the mind,
from poverty to riches in a heart beat. It's a state of mind.
I refuse to accept any circumstance that leads to poverty.
Thank You Michael and Linda for pointing me to tools that
have opened new doors that fuel a positive mind set.

Making Decisions
Thinking about growing rich ? Ya, me too and I have been for some time now. There is a saying out there, "Thoughts become things so choose the good ones" Sounds like a plan.
So, what about Decision Making, what's that got to do with it? There have been studies done of people who accumulated large fortunes and it was found that every one of them had habits of reaching decisions promptly and of changing these decisions slowly, if and when they changed them at all.
The study also showed that people who have failed to accumulate money, had the habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly, and of changing their decisions quickly and often.
The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs are, generally, easily influenced by the opinions of others. Everyone has opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by opinions when you reach decisions, you will not succeed in any understanding, much less in that of transforming your own desire into money.
It is recommended then that we keep our own counsel. Reach our own decisions and follow them. Taking no one into our confidence except members of our Master Mind group, Click Here , and be very sure in the selection of this group that you choose only those who will be in complete sympathy and harmony with your purpose. And even then, don't make their opinions your own as a matter of course.
So, I think I'm on the right track...I've decided that in order for me to have the time freedom that I desire, I MUST learn a system to achieve that goal which I desire. Trouble is, I've been learning lots of systems and none of them have worked! That is until recently. I have had the good fortune to meet Sarah Thompson who introduced me to Michael Dlouhy and a system called Mentoring For Free.
Now, I am constantly learning new ways of thinking through my old habits and developing new ways and habits to reach my desired outcome....Time Freedom....I learn something new every time I connect with my Master Mind group.
The ultimate way to think about growing rich is by reading and Master Minding the book :Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It's easy to do, and it's easy not to do. The decision is yours. I'd like to invite you to join me in cleansing the mind of old habits of thinking and get ready for the many blessings in 2009.
