So to start things off, here are "My Notes from Chapter 1 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

"The man who Thought His Way into Partnership with Thomas Edison"

“When a man fully DESIRES a thing so deeply that heis willing to stake his entire futue on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.”

Edison found this to be true. That means it is true for me, too. That means when I set a goal, I must ask myself, what am I willing to do to make this happen? I must work until it does happen. And I need to believe it will happen and always cast out doubt.

“Barnes was DETERMINED TO REMAIN READY
UNTIL HE GOT THAT WHICH HE WAS SEEKING.”

– To me this means that by doing the same thing, setting a goal with the determination to work at it until it happens is a worthy goal. It may not happen in a length of time conveinient for me, but it will happen partly because I will remain ready (not just work at it, but remain ready) until I get that which I am seeking.

His answer/goal came different form and direction than expected – I need to learn to recognize opportunity.

Initiative, faith, will to win.
Seek expert counsel.

Hill tells a story of a colored girl. I won't repeat it here because I want you to read the book. This story might seem to teach to use pressure to get what you want. In fact, the first network marketing company I joined used this very story to teach me that I needed to be pushy. Instead it teaches to use belief to get what you want. Barnes didn’t get his goal by initimidation, he got it by the look in his eye. He got the look in his eye by his persistent, definite, determination.

Hill says that riches come quickly when they come? Wow. This might seem to support the get-rich-quickly schemes we tend to fall prey to. Again, I don't think that is the point. I think that Hill is saying that we need to be prepared.

In the story about Henry Ford and the 8-cylinder engine, Ford was not concerned about when his goal was reached, he simply refused to give up. This refulsal is one of the keys. In my experience mentoring people who want to build websites for earning money, so many people give up that I sometimes question the method that I teach. Combine this with a question asked to me by one of my other mentors: "Would you get marriage counseling from someone who had never been married but had just studied marriage from books and online?"

This question, combined with Hill's description of the need to never give up have worked together to create in me a passion to 1) Find out for myself if the method I have been teaching really works, and 2)Never give up.

If you would like to join my mentors and I in a weekly conference call where we discuss a chapter per week without any companies or promotions mentioned, visit Thirty-Day Mental Cleanse. This is free training for anyone who wants to clear their mind and move toward their goals following Napoleon Hill's book.

With this combination, I am convinced that it IS possible to make money online using what some people call the C->P->T->M method. Click the link to learn what that is.

But to be honest, I, myself have not done it yet. I am working this system on more than one front. Read my Current Projects to the right of this post to find out the details.
