Desire is the Starting Point But Not the Foundation - Donna Kunde

Introduction
“Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win, essential to success. ” Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich

During the last couple of weeks we have laid the foundation of all achievement. We looked at the role persistence plays in fanning the flames of desire when things get tough. We discussed the importance of accurate thinking and the role it plays in casting out a vibration and attracting people and resources with a similar energy. Then last week we explored the use of visualization to foster belief in and attainment of your desire. This is what Hill calls Faith. 

Today’s show is finally delving into Chapter II of the book Think & Grow Rich. This is the chapter called Desire - The Starting Point of All Achievement and The First Step toward Riches. The problem with this thinking is that it glosses over all the pre work that really needs to be done before starting this chapter. 

I encourage you to listen to this series with an open mind and be willing to receive new ideas. Then continue the conversation in a special group I have created just for you in our Community of Commerce called The Business Owners Bookshelf where I have put downloadable copies of two of the books we will be exploring. The easiest way to listen and engage is inside the IBGR app for Android or iOS. See you on the inside...

Objectives - The WHY
Many business owners possess at least one copy of the book Think & Grow Rich. Some have read it or at least started to read it. Many business owners never write out the six steps! This time is going to be different. This time we will do exactly what the book says to do. Enter into the experiment and let’s see where it takes us!

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Not willing to burn ships - only a half-hearted desire
2. Unhealthy relationship with money
3. Not doing the six steps or continuing to update the vision until it is definite

What You Need to Know - The WHAT

• What is your money story?
• Definite definition: clearly stated or decided; not vague or doubtful.
• Can you imagine yourself a millionaire?
• No more effort is required to aim high in life, demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty. 

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. Read Chapter II - Desire
2. Write out your six steps on paper
3. Read your written statement aloud two times per day.
4. All success begins with a state of mind. Failure happens on autopilot. “Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry (management and conservation of resources).” James Allen
5. Your dominating thoughts attract the forces, people and circumstances that match those thoughts. We have a built in servo mechanism that weeds out opportunities deemed unimportant and shows us what our thoughts tell it we want to find. 
6. ​Listen to the Business Owner’s Bookshelf Series
7. Download the IBGR Business Growth App
8. Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below. We are interested in continuing the conversation.
