Introduction
“Man’s only limitation, within reason, lies in his development and use of his imagination” -- Napoleon Hill

“You are what you think.”  Albert Einstein said: “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but: IMAGINATION.” 

We are ALWAYS creating through the use of our imaginative faculty. Depending on our dominating thoughts, we are either creating what we want or what we don’t want. Are we focusing our energy on creative imagination or destructive imagination? 

Our most serious difficulties with being creative as human beings are not a result of deficiencies in imagination nor are they because of apathy or indifference. While these are often key factors, the ultimate problem lies in our resistance to change. We don’t dare to imagine new possibilities and realities because doing so destroys our cherished but limiting current reality. All change takes place outside of the comfort zone - and that place is called the terror barrier!

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
Imagination is the fifth step towards riches and plays a far more important role in our lives than most of us realize. A human being always acts and feels and performs according to what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment. 

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Your imaginative faculty may have become weak through inaction. 
   
2. It can be revived and made alert through use.
   
3. Both synthetic and creative faculties of imagination become more alert with use, just like any organ or muscle
   

What You Need to Know - The WHAT

1. There are two forms of imagination - Synthetic Imagination and Creative Imagination
   
2. Synthetic Imagination - arranging known concepts, ideas or plans into new combinations. This faculty creates nothing.
   
3. Creative Imagination - The finite mind of man taps into what Hill calls “Infinite Intelligence.” This faculty creates everything.
   
4. There are two types of imagination - Constructive and Destructive.
   
5. Constructive Imagination - is based on the fact that the mind can accept as real any concept, true or false, repeated enough and with a strong enough impact.
   
6. Destructive Imagination - Our negative thinking becomes our self-fulfilling prophecy.
   
7. Your nervous system can’t tell the difference between an imagined experience and a real experience. 
   

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. Read the entire book at least three times (pg 92)
   
2. Follow the Six Steps to Stimulate Your Subconscious Mind (pg 71)
   
3. Read Chapter IV - AUTOSUGGESTION as Hill suggests: “Read the entire chapter aloud once every night, until you become thoroughly convinced that the principle of autosuggestion is sound, that it will accomplish for you all that has been claimed for it. As you read, underscore with a pencil every sentence which impresses you favorably.”
   
4. “Follow the foregoing instruction to the letter, and it will open the way for a complete understanding, and mastery of the principles of success. 
   
5. Write out your six steps on paper
   
6. Read Chapter II - Desire
   
7. Write out your six steps on paper
   
8. Read your written statement aloud two times per day.
   
9. Print and sign your own copy of the Self Confidence Formula
   
10. Repeat the Self Confidence Formula until it becomes part of your subconscious.
    
11. Practice using all four key ingredients of success: faith, desire, imagination and persistence.
    
12. Analyze your definiteness of purpose statement to ensure it is what you want and not what you don’t want. “Our mind becomes magnetized with our dominating thoughts, and by means with which no man is familiar, these “magnets” attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.”
    
13. One sound idea is all you need to achieve success and goal achievement begins with a state of mind. The rest of the book describes ways to create useful ideas. Decide now what your definiteness of purpose is and write it down. Then uplevel it. 
    
14. Analyze your definiteness of purpose statement to ensure it is what you want and not what you don’t want. “Our mind becomes magnetized with our dominating thoughts, and by means with which no man is familiar, these “magnets” attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.”
    
15. Read your written statement aloud two times per day.
    
16. All success begins with a state of mind. Failure happens on autopilot. 
    
17. 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.
