“To make firm.”
Make firm that you are; know that it is in your grasp. That’s what
the others did, and that’s how people make it to the top.
Then get down to basics. Be precise. E
Exactly how much money do you want, and by what date?
And exactly what are you going to do to earn that money? Be
realistic, but give yourself short-term goals. Write it down.
In six months or one year, you will have how much money. And repeat

it until it feels good. Then repeat it twice a day until it swirls in
your subconscious, until it becomes your one-pointed goal.
“The goal stands up, the keeper stands up to keep the goal,” wrote
A.E. Housman.
Keys to Success-
. Make people feel at ease- They will respond to your needs as yourespond to theirs.
. Share the spotlight.
. Give credit to those who deserve it- and to those who strive.
. Don’t grab praise away from other people.
. Have confidence in your own value.
. Don’t do anything that won’t credit your own self-respect.
. Follow up your actions as they reflect your own self-worth.
Listen well to others’ comments. Then weigh your own actions.
Cultivate relationships with people who have good and importantthings to say.
Participate in life.
Be active in business meetings and endeavors; volunteer to be part of
organizations and groups. Social interaction will boost your sense of
well-being.
Feel worthy of your own goal.
Know that you can attain it and that it is right for you.
Grasp your own challenge.
Don’t give yourself impossible goals, but always reach higher.
Relax and be yourself. Each person is different and just as wonderful
as the next. Don’t be plagued by what you think others think of you.
Don’t bathe in success- use it. Once you achieve your first goal, go
on to others. Use the money you earn for the rewards you look for.
Then go on to the next endeavor.
Be slow to criticize others’ achievements. Find out how they did it

and learn from them.
Never use subterfuge. Don’t go behind someone’s back. Speak your mind
and earn respect.
Banish negative thoughts and traits. Restructure your life to exclude
bad habits.
Believe in yourself and what you are to accomplish. All the power in
the world is within you to achieve.
Work Towards Your Goal-
“To get profit without risk, experience without danger, and reward
without work, is as impossible as it is to live without being born,”
wrote A. P. Gouthey. Every person who has attained something worth
while
has worked for that goal.
Cary Grant said, “I do believe that people can do practically
anything they set out to do if they apply themselves diligently
and learn.”
Which path is the right way towards your goal? Do you need more
education? Do you need a few years experience in your field of
business? Maybe you need a teacher or guide to help you practice.
“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the
position that one has reached, as by the obstacles which are overcome
while trying to succeed,” wrote Booker T. Washington.
What obstacles are in your way? Consider them as easy to pass through
as hurdles are to a champion runner. Take each obstacle as a special
challenge placed especially for you.
Approach it with intelligence and courage, then learn what it has to
teach.
“Success is a journey,” said Ben Sweetland, “not a destination.” For
some, the process of attainment is the attainment itself. They move
on, keep growing and expanding. There is no still water at the top.
“The message from the moon is that no problem need any longer be
considered insoluble,” wrote Norman Cousins. And you can attain
anything that seems impossible.
If you have a problem that needs to be solved, sit calmly and
consider it with a clear mind. Observe all the consequences of
the actions- both good and bad. Ponder the paths and actions and
contemplate the core of the problem. The solution will appear.

“Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it
shall be opened to you for everyone who asketh, receiveth. He that
seeketh, findeth and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.”
Tap the inner self and encourage positive actions. With each outgoing
breath, release the impossible; at each incoming breath, inhale the
attainable. Command the best of yourself, but don’t despair from an
overused sense of perfection.
What can you learn? And who can teach you? Can you attend classes and
seminars from universities near home? Check out books from the
libraries and absorb the material. Find a master and become an
apprentice.
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty,” said
Henry Ford. “Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest
thing in life is to keep your mind young.”
Never stop learning; never stop growing and expanding as a person and
in your personal endeavor.
