"All achievements, all wealth, come from one idea." - Napoleon Hill

I have read a lot of books about thinking and how to get wealth. In fact, the concepts are very similar. As long as we master the basic points and practice, wealth will not be far away from us~

I have read this "Think and Grow Rich" twice. The concept is almost the same as "The Rich Think Differently from You" . The latter is probably improved with reference to this book. Both books have parts that are worth thinking about. For how consciousness affects the pursuit of wealth, just read these two books and you are almost done.

"When a man truly desires something, he will risk his future at all costs, and be sure of it." - Edison

Here are the 13 Platinum Rules of Success in the book.
From the perspective of my understanding after reading, I will help you to think and practice over and over again to achieve financial freedom:

 1. ardent desire

The determination to break the boat will turn into a firm idea, prompting you to come up with a specific plan to implement it. Have you ever craved something? I have been exposed to the concept of financial freedom since last year, and I am excited about it. I have been dreaming of the day when I will not need to make money through labor. I calculated the savings goal that I need to achieve for early retirement, and set up a ten-year retirement plan. Although this The project seems too big and difficult to implement, but I still believe that I can do it. Desire is the first requirement!

 2. Build confidence

Confidence makes it possible to achieve anything and everything you want. Do you know how powerful the subconscious mind is? When confidence is combined with the pulsing of the mind to convey energy into the subconscious mind, it creates a powerful energy that allows you to achieve your goals.

Have you ever had the experience of going downhill but finally making it through? There was a time when I only had 2,000 Taiwan dollars left in my savings, and I was unemployed after finishing a course, and I was so anxious that I couldn’t pay next month’s rent. At that time, I was applying for a job while thinking about other ways to make money. With the possibility, miraculously, I applied for a stable job a few days later. When you believe you can do it, luck will favor you.

 3. Self-suggestion

Autosuggestion is a communication medium that conveys the results of conscious thinking to the subconscious mind responsible for generating action. Thoughts, positive or negative, reach the subconscious mind and affect the direction of your life. When you set a goal and think you can't achieve it, you really won't succeed in the end because subconsciously you don't believe in yourself. Send positive energy to your subconscious mind through autosuggestion, it will sense your ardent desire and help you achieve your goals.

Every day I tell myself in my head, "In ten years, I want to achieve financial freedom! 』Even in my mind to simulate the life after wealth and freedom, no matter how much others sneer, it will not affect my thoughts, believe in my desire to achieve my goals, instead of proving my self-worth by doing it to others.

 4. Make good use of professional knowledge

Knowledge itself cannot attract money unless it is properly organized, used, planned and acted upon, and knowing how to use knowledge can create success. Of course, it is impossible to succeed by just relying on ideas without hard work. It is very scary to be obsessed with the status quo without knowing how to change. Once your goals are set, it's time to develop a plan for how to execute them, and learn any tools that will help you reach your goals faster.

After I decided to pursue financial freedom, I thought about how to increase my active income and speed up the time to convert it into passive income. After reading countless investment books and increasing my knowledge in this regard, I began to practice investing in the stock market. Remember that the premise of investing is that you must first learn and understand the operation behind it, and then find a way that suits you. Don't follow the trend and get involved in matters you don't understand.

 5. Stimulate the imagination

Imagination can accomplish all "impossible tasks". All inventions are achieved through imagination. When the prototype and results have not yet been produced, no one will believe its feasibility. Put your desires and goals into words! Think of it as a set of planning books, any wild ideas can be recorded, and one day it will work. Imagination is like a muscle that can be improved through practice, don't let other people's voice limit your potential.

 6. The rules are clearly planned

Will be eager to implement, make clear plans. Recruiting like-minded friends, absorbing each other's strengths and analyzing weaknesses, can make the plan more clear. Even if it fails, it only means that there is a problem with the plan, but it does not mean that the goal is unfeasible, as long as the plan is revised! For example, I divide my salary into major projects to match my goals. Every payday, there will be a fixed percentage of the amount that will be transferred to investment accounts, living expenses, emergency reserves, etc., instead of judging by the monthly balance. Invest, how much to save.

 7. Make up your mind

Make achievements first, and then announce to the world. In addition to telling like-minded friends, please don't talk to anyone! Some people always think that they are humorous and want to ridicule you, or even don't want to see you succeed at all, but these people often affect your determination and shake your mind, please stay away from these people! Once you make up your mind, you start to declare the world through actions, and actions are worse than words. Please keep a humble heart at all times, always doubt, examine your own shortcomings and improve them.

 8. Keep Perseverance

The starting point of all achievement is desire, and the main cause of failure is lack of perseverance. I never think that every unpleasant road is in vain. Every stage in the past, whether smooth or difficult, is the nourishment for you to achieve the present. Nothing is easy, but we often only pay attention to the results and ignore the efforts under the table. Every sweet fruit has to go through a bitter stage. In this year's Olympics, Kobayashi, who made his debut in billiards, said: "Everyone says I'm a prodigy, but they don't know that only when I play is my time to rest. 』

 9. Harness the power of think tanks

Find a partner to fuel your project. Everyone is unique, and the things that individuals are good at are also different. If you can point out the crux of the problem through the perspective of others, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Don't overlook the power of brainstorming and cheering each other on.

 10. Understand the mystery of libido conversion

Turn passion into creativity. Sexual desire here refers to the transformation of physical needs into emotional and mental power, not just physical senses. It is often said: "Behind a successful man, there is a woman who silently supports him. "vice versa. One of the important reasons for perseverance and persistence is to increase motivation through the emotion and support given by the other half.

 11. Develop your subconscious mind

The subconscious mind is a field of consciousness. After every thought pulse is transmitted to the consciousness through the five senses, it will be classified, recorded and archived, and extracted when needed. The subconscious mind is a bit like the operating system that operates silently behind the scenes. Even though you are not using the program, it is still functioning and silently affecting you.

The information instilled in the subconscious is very important, and if you have been in negative thinking, the results are often negative. The mentality and thinking of some members of a whole family are very likely to be similar, depending on how close the relationship is. The grandparents instill the concepts into their children, and then the children pass it on to the next generation, which indirectly limits each other's lives. If your parents keep saying, 'We're not rich, and we can't be rich. 』This concept will also be deeply rooted in your subconscious, making it impossible for you to become rich.

don’t worry! Positive thinking can be changed through practice, let's clean our subconscious mind, brush out negative thinking, and put in positive thinking!

 12. Understand the power of the brain

The brain is the broadcasting and receiving station of ideas. As long as it is used properly, the human brain has infinite possibilities. It is like a processor of personal consciousness and rational thinking, which receives and integrates external stimuli and converts them into energy. Cooperate with the concept of think tank in point 9 and share knowledge, let the energy of the brain play to the fullest!

 13. Trust the sixth sense

The sixth sense is subconsciously referred to as the "creative imagination," also known as the "receiving device," which is used to transmit ideas, plans, and flashes of thought. The sixth sense can help us be aware of danger, or find sudden inspiration, and we can also find out the direction by imitating others. Have any famous stories gave you some inspiration? Turn the advantages of others into motivation, and through imitation and learning, subtly become the elements of your success.
