“Think & Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill isn’t new and yet it is still one of the most often referred to books when we are talking about becoming rich. That’s because it’s been well documented that many successful people have found their blueprint to success within Hill’s book.
Hill has packed his book with many quotes, which are excellent food for thought. This is one of the many that rings true when you are looking to be successful at getting rich.
“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”
This is an excellent quote, because it hits at the nerve of what it takes to become rich. If you are hoping and wishing that you’ll get rich and stop your day-to-day struggles and begin to enjoy the life you want, then you will be very disappointed. A year from now or ten years from now your life is likely to look much like it does today. Why has nothing changed? Because you simply did not have the desire to make it change.
Desire burns in you constantly. It never goes out. It never disappears. There are all kinds of desires and the desire to be rich is certainly the focus for many. When a person has the desire to grow rich it is on their mind all the time. They are constantly looking for what they can do to create an environment where they can make money. The person with desire will be analyzing everything they do and see thinking about whether it’s a way to reach their goal of becoming rich.
Interestingly enough when you have the desire the message become planted into your subconscious mind and that becomes your focus. It becomes your drive and it becomes your reality. Suddenly you find that you have increased your earnings.
But have you created wealth? Or are you still living from month to month. One thing is for certain – you must be your own boss and run your own business in order to create wealth, because as long as you are working for someone else they control your wealth. So once you have made the big step to dream big and start your own business adventure you are truly on your way to creating wealth. You now are completely in control of what your earnings look like. You are the driver behind the road to wealth.
“The starting point of all achievement is desire.”
