Knowing What You Want And Finding The Persistence To Achieve It

Before you can begin to create your own strategy for the accumulation of fortune, it may sound strange, but it's important to develop a concrete understanding of money itself. You must appreciate what it does, how it works and where to find it. This 'money consciousness' is necessary to help you develop perseverance in your pursuit of wealth.

Fortune won't come your way if your mind isn't prepared to receive it. Occasional efforts to apply the rules on desire will get you nowhere. You must persevere with relentless effort, applying your rules to achieve your goals until your mind works in this new way as second nature. Only then can you develop the 'money consciousness' necessary for the achievement of your goal.

It's vital to understand that both success and poverty are actually the results of effort. The amount of exertion you expend to achieve success is comparable to the effort with which you attract poverty. The only difference is that an awareness of poverty is developed without the conscious application of the rules. People are rarely born with 'money consciousness'. It must be created to ensure that money, rather than poverty, is attracted to the person whose mind has been prepared.

Success comes directly as a result of persistence. Without persistence it is difficult to win. In most cases, half-hearted attempts at your goals mean you experience defeat before you even begin.

Life gives you what you demand if you build defences against all opposing forces. Defeat is a temporary condition and sooner than expected the person who persists gets what they demand from life. If you can't be persistent then you won't achieve noteworthy success in any endeavour.

So how do you develop persistence?

The answer rests in focusing your mind on definite causes. Among these are:

1. WILL POWER - Persistence can be achieved when you concentrate your thoughts on building plans towards the attainment of a definite goal.

2. DESIRE - When you pursue your desire you can develop persistence.

3. A DISTINCT, CLEAR PLAN OR GOAL - Organise your plan and know what you want. Knowing this is the first step towards the development of persistence. With strong motivation you can overcome most difficulties.

4. ALLIANCES - Alliances and co-operation with others who share your dream naturally build persistence.

5. HABIT - To develop persistence you must make it a habit. The mind becomes used to what it feeds on daily, not weekly.

6. ACCURATE INFORMATION - Do not guess at anything. Endeavour to get enough information before you act on your idea. Knowing that your plans are sound and based on accurate knowledge encourages persistence.

7. FIRMNESS OF DECISION - When you remain firm and resolute to your decision, it encourages persistence. You need to believe in your ability to carry out your plans to encourage persistence.
