I'm sure you're curious about how those successful people built their wealth step by step until they were financially free. No longer trapped by money, you can do whatever you want, and the next thing I'm going to talk about is the story of Napoleon Hill who interviewed 500 rich and successful people. 1883, Napoleon Hill was born into a poor family in the United States, and he went to college while working for the local magazine. It wasn't until he was in his 20s that he finally got a chance to interview a super celebrity for three days, the famous steel king Andrew Carnegie. On the third day of the interview, Andrew said if commissioned young Hill a project about what he had long wanted to accomplish but was unable to do so. Hill was reluctant to accept it would consume Hill's life energy, the project is to interview and study up to 500 successful people. And to summarize their successes and laws, to give others and future generations a spiritual guidance and model. While the steel king made it clear that he would not give Hill any sponsorship, but would only introduce him to people, Hill accepted without saying a word in half a minute, and also firmly said he would be so by the heart.

Since then visited many famous and successful people, including inventor Thomas Edison, telephone patentee Bell, car king Henry Ford, Bill Gates, President Wilson, President Rothf and many other hall of fame celebrities. And all of these mentioned big names admitted that they used these secrets to help them to practice their dreams, and Hill based on studying and thinking about their success stories. With his personal perseverance, he found the true meaning of life for successful people and wrote down the laws of success that have been passed down to this day. This has made him the most famous success coach, and anyone who has read and mastered the secrets will be able to successfully attract the things you want, including wealth. And be prepared for a high quality lifestyle. And he concluded that one of the common denominators and the most important common denominator is. The difference between wanting and desperately desiring, wanting and wanting although only one word away, but get the result is completely different.

Edwin Barnes had a dream to become a partner of the great inventor Thomas Edison, but he did not become that partner directly. Rather, he took him step by step with his extreme desire to achieve him. From the very beginning his goal was clear: he wanted to become Edison's partner rather than work for him. When he had this idea, he had two biggest obstacles he had to overcome, first he did not know Addison at all. Secondly, he did not have enough money to buy a bus ticket to Edison's place, these two difficulties would have been enough to make most people discourage the idea. But of course it was not just the desire to have just, but the extreme desire to work with Edison. He arrived on a freight train to Edison's laboratory and told the people there that he had come to work with the inventor Edison. Rightfully so, Barnes did not immediately become Edison's partner, but certain reasons made Edison stay, and he did menial work.

Barnes also gladly accepted the job opportunity, although it was not an important job, but in Barnes' opinion, his goal did not change as a result. Always convinced that he would become Edison's partner, he did not say that if it did not work out I would go find another job or give up or something like that. On the contrary, he maintained that I was here to do business with Addison, to find him to work with, no matter what it took. He just carries the attitude of extreme desire and then follows through with this subconscious attitude, and when the opportunity comes, it often takes a different form than what he imagined. Most often, it will appear in front of you as a loss, a failure or a misfortune, which is the biggest reason why many people fail to seize the opportunity. And that's how Banshee seized the opportunity. A few years later, Barnes took a chance to showcase himself. Sold out one of the many Edison inventions, and the first generation of tape recorders is how it came to be. And thus smoothly became the partner of the great inventor Thomas Edison.

Years later, Edison recalled, he just stood in front of me like a tramp. But in his face, I could see that he came here only to achieve his purpose, vowing not to rest, and Edison saw that is the extreme desire. He knew that Barnes did not want to be his partner, but must and would give his life to reach that goal. The eyes revealed this resolute conviction, a trait shared by all 500 successful people, extreme desire. And every day from ear to ear to implement this belief. Some people may ask here, it is easy to say, but it is also very difficult to really do. No matter, I organized the steps and specific methods advocated by Napoleon Hill, so that you can also easily follow to do, in your way to practice your dream becomes easier, organic, where I call it the six steps to achieve the method.

First first you want wealth freedom, then you must clearly write down exactly how much money is needed to help you gain wealth freedom. Never say the more the better, because then you have no idea how to get there, it's like aimlessly shopping, how much money you will spend, and no concept of where to go to spend it. At the end of the day, I realized how I have no money left in my wallet. My advice is that you can first calculate your monthly expenses and come up with an amount for the next ten or even twenty or thirty years. This is the first step you can take to achieve wealth freedom, for example, my own monthly survival expenses is the most basic 3,000 words. Multiply that by 12 months, multiply that by 10 years, and the amount I want to achieve wealth freedom is at least 360,000. This is the amount that can support me to survive for ten years even if I don't work

Second: go to feel what he feels you are trying to achieve, and fantasize about having your goal, this sounds very suspenseful, but I can tell you that all successful people do this. Whether they do it consciously or unconsciously, they have done it. For example, if you want to make a million dollars, then you must first be able to see the scenario where you have a million dollars. Some people will say, "I'm obviously poor, so how am I supposed to pretend to be rich? I can only fly in economy class, and so on. Let me tell you, to pretend to have does not really have to be very rich. The trick is this. Just convince yourself that you are rich. For example, you don't have to do first class every time, but you can go experience it once. Enjoy the moment and remember that feeling, remember that you can still afford to do first class in the moment, enjoy the VIP service, enjoy the delicious fruit, enjoy that luxurious environment. The biggest difference between ordinary people is that they spend money to do the first class, but in their minds they are thinking that I will not have to eat grass because they bought this ticket to go home.

They show not to enjoy the moment, but in the worry, in the worry and then regret, and then fear. Instead of attracting wealth, all these negative emotions attract a lot of negative things, and you worry that you will run out of money after you buy the ticket. When you go home you will really have no money. You worry that you are too extravagant, and then you will not enjoy the extravagance. Do you see it here? The emotion of the moment is important. The so-called law of attraction doesn't care if you want it or not, he's only attracted to your emotions. If you are unhappy, you will attract unhappiness, and if you feel good, you will attract very good things.

Third: to get out of financial trouble, then you must have a determined heart, what you are willing to sacrifice in exchange for what you want. For example, time games, or catching up on drama, etc. I want to reach wealth freedom, I have to sacrifice entertainment time to learn all kinds of knowledge that can make money. Step by step to build your assets.

Fourth: Set a date, when you want to complete, set a specific time, to the actual possibility of the date prevails.

Fifth: Make a plan and follow through with your determination, keep that extreme desire to get started whether you're ready or not. Some people may say, I don't know how to do this, I don't know how to do that, so I can't go and get started. But I can tell you that going to learn is also an action, the beginning of an action, and there is no perfect time, no completely ready tool. All you need to do is take action while searching for good tools to help you cloak yourself along the way. Believe me, but you start taking action, and afterwards you will find that the best tools actually come along the way.

Sixth: Read out the plan you have written down, repeat it twice a day, practice it once before you go to bed, and read it again when you wake up. While you are reading it, imagine it, feel it, and believe that you yourself already have the goal you wrote down. What you believe will attract what you want, it is called mindfulness, and what you doubt will pass you by. It's called disbelief is nothing. What you complain about, what happens to you most, this is called fear of what? What's coming? Many times in the face of opportunities and challenges, you believe that you can and can not be right. Because the results are coming to you as you believe, this is called consciousness-determined results. Before you can achieve the results you want, you must first be able to see him, perceive his presence and already have him in your subconscious mind. Because believing is what starts all the power, we must believe in what we are going to have, because if we think about it, it will come back to us.
