THINK AND GROW RICH

Unlike what the title of the book suggests, this book is not about how to boost your income and become richer. The author demonstrates a philosophy that can help anyone achieve success in their professional life, fulfil their aspirations. It’s a good read for entrepreneurs.

Think And Grow Rich is a way of living. It is a state of mind. A mindset. The idea is to use the power of thoughts to bring out strong passions, desires and a specific purpose into reality. Transforming an obsession into a reality is not a simple task. With a strong enough desire and willingness to raise the stakes, you will succeed. 

Success Consciousness

The author proposes the following formula: 

Success = Desire + Ideas + Plans + Massive Action

• Start with a goal. Eg: A better job. To achieve that goal, the key is to shift your thinking from failure consciousness to success consciousness.
• You have to shift the question from ‘how do I get a job?’ to ‘what can I give to a job?

1.Desire: The Start Of Achievement

• Stop wishing your desires to materialize. It will not bring you riches. 
• To achieve a goal, having a burning desire is a must, accompanied by a strong belief, supported by the definiteness of purpose—these things make up a strong understanding of what one really wants.  
•  

2.Faith: Visualisation & Belief In Fulfilment Of Desire

• Faith is the offset of success and the bond that holds it all together.
• Through affirmations to self or repeated suggestions to the subconscious, you can amplify the emotion of faith, 
• This is required to convert your desires into their physical or monetary form.

3.Auto-suggestion: The Medium for Changing the Subconscious Mind

• This refers to the use of self-directed communication and self-administered motives to direct thoughts from the conscious mind to the subconscious.  

4.Specialized Knowledge: Individual Experiences or Observations

• General information and knowledge will not benefit you in accumulating riches, neither will specialized knowledge on its own. 
• One should learn how to organize and use information and knowledge after one obtains it.
• On top of this, improve your own knowledge with that of other individuals with multiple experiences.

5.Imagination: The Workshop of the Mind

• Imagination is the unique ability of humans that forms, design, and gives action to desire. 
• There are 2 types. One, the synthetic imagination, which arranges old thoughts or ideas into new combinations; the second, the creative imagination, which draws out thought vibrations from other people and the environment, connects with Infinite Intelligence and creates new ideas.

6.Organized Planning: The Materialization of Desire into Action

• A definite, practical plan should be formed and put into action to render a desire into its physical or monetary form.
• Continuously reconstruct your plans and keep pursuing your goal, supplied with the knowledge of your previous failures. Don't give on planning.

7.Decision: The Mastery of Procrastination

• Procrastination and indecisiveness are significant reasons for failure.
• Successful people arrive at decisions quickly and clearly and are slow to change. They understand what they want and, usually, get it.

8.Persistence: The Effort Necessary to Induce Faith

• Most people will quit at the first hint of opposition. However, strong willpower, coupled with desire, is essential to ensure that one’s objectives are reached.

9.Power of the Master Mind: The Driving Force

• Individuals can achieve and apply collective power through the creation of a Master Mind group. 
• It is an association of individuals with diverse strengths and perspectives who organise their knowledge and efforts to achieve a specific purpose.
