Chapter 4—Autosuggestion
I could write this lesson and share the way Autosuggestion is working in my life; or I could be honest and say that I’ve forfeited its power because I haven’t been doing it.
When I came into Mentoring For Free several years ago, I devoured every morsel of information. I began incorporating the principles from this book into my life.
True, I saw growth in myself. I learned all about the Five Pillars of Success and how to understand Compensation Plans. But I wasn’t achieving the success I desired, even though I was faithful to positive Self-Talk and Autosuggestion.
Recently, I started having more success in my network marketing. As I focused on finding customers and expanding my business, the discipline of positive Self-Talk pretty much disappeared.
In the past few days, I can tell that I’ve slipped back into self-doubt and comparing myself with others’ success. That's a miserable state of being.
Today as I was driving into work, the truth came to me like a lightening bolt.
“Margi, you haven’t been saying your Self Talk!!!”
Truth is not always comfortable, but if I’m serious about owning my life and changing my financial future, I have to face it. Being lukewarm is not going to get me where I want to go.
This week I’m celebrating turning 60 years old. When I mentioned this to someone today, the person warned me…
“After 50 it’s all down hill. Bad health, belly fat, wrinkles, blah, blah, blah.”
My reaction startled even me. My hands came up over my face as though pushing her words away from me.
“STOP IT! Don’t say that! I will not accept that at all. I feel healthier than ever, my scales are going in the right direction with the products I’m taking. Pilates' exercise is toning and strengthening me. I feel absolutely fabulous!"
The person stared at me like I had two heads. But not another toxic word was spoken to me.
Perhaps this was one of those defining moments of my life. My rather abrupt outburst at the poison words changed the atmosphere in the room. From that minute on, there was more Positive than before.
So while I admit that my Self-Talk hasn’t been part of my daily routine for several weeks, the lessons I’ve learned have been stored in my subconscious…and in my heart.
I commit to once again saying the Positive Affirmations that will take me to the next level of my business and my life.
Happy Birthday to Me!

Auto-Suggestion
The Medium for Influencing the Subconscious Mind
The Third Step Toward Riches
After reading this chapter of "Think and Grow Rich" and Napoleon Hill's words on auto-suggestion when he states that we should carry out this instruction as if we are a still a child, it reminds me of a saying my wife has used since we first started dating: "We're just ba'y kids in a grown up ba'y world". This has been one of our themes during our relationship where we try to approach many challenges from a child-like perspective.
Having a singular focus a child will persist in their efforts until the objective is accomplished. If told that someone in a large crowd in a stadium has a special present for the child, they will go from person to person, not skipping a single soul, even to the final person in the crowd, if necessary, until they find that present. Without hesitation they ask "Do you have it?". From person to person they go, no fear, no obstacles, just an obsessive action.
As adults, we work to stay focused like that again. We deal with the complexities we've allowed to invade our mind. We deal with the people and situations that confront us in our routines and the demands that are put upon us. We overcome the negative emotions that spontaneously erupt and threaten to dampen our desire.
By focusing on a written statement, which we recite out loud, we actively focus on the positive emotions we associate with our burning desires. We concentrate, like the child, on holding that present in our hands. We know what it will feel like in our hands. The weight of it, the sight of it, the total thrill of owning it is already coursing through our body even as we travel forward in the aisles between the seats.
We have instilled the emotion, focused burning desire and faith all with this simple act of writing down instructions for our subconscious, reading them aloud, and repeating them often, keeping that child, that we are, moving from person to person, through aisle after aisle to get OUR present.
with gratitude and in service,
Tony, Lisa, Michael and Amanda Koker

CHAPTER 4
AUTO-SUGGESTION
The Medium for Influencing the Subconscious Mind
The Third Step towards Riches
After reading this chapter for the ninth time around, I am finally getting inspired to start programming my subconscious mind using auto-suggestion.
It has taken me 2 years to realize that I had not been following the instructions in this awesome book.
My self-talk statement has been created and I have started to do my auto-suggestion 400 times daily and I must admit that I am not consistent and have not created a habit.
Michael has told me that he followed the book very persistently and he always did his 400 auto-suggestions daily.
He even says that at every free moment, he does his self-talk and still does 400 or so daily.
Excuses are the downfall of everyone reaching success.
Excuses are used so that we cover up our ineptitude to do what is required to reach success.
I will use every excuse to not follow my plan.
My plan is still very sketchy in my mind. Am I having a hard time to think?
No, I use excuses to tell myself (negative auto-suggestion) that it is OK to not succeed.
It is OK to not write down your plan.
It is OK to not do your auto-suggestion daily.
I know what I must do but somehow I always take the easy way out.
Now is the time to put my foot down and say enough is enough.
Now is the time to do exactly what this book is telling me.
This is the key chapter of this entire book even though we need to understand all the chapters.
Hill says to read this chapter over and over until I understand it completely.
I will become the master of this chapter which will bring me a step closer to owning my life.
Thank you, Michael and Linda for creating this great mastermind group. We love you both and love the members of this group.

Ian Flewelling Alberta Canada

“Write exact desire and exact time of acquiring it.
Describe the service you will give for it.
Read out loud twice daily the written statement of your
desire for money, and see and feel yourself already in possession
of the money!”
Your ability to use the principle of auto-suggestion will depend, very largely,
upon your capacity to concentrate upon a given desire until that desire
becomes a burning obsession.”
“Read it over and over ! Say it out loud over and over !”
In my experience
There never was a Burning Obsession
There never has been.
Given Desire ?
Yes.
I have a degree, undergrad but never-the-less a degree
I even also graduated with honours from the computer collage and I was for one whole month, student of the month there.
I have a wife, I do not have enough space to begin to do justice to her or to what that means to me.
I have a wonderful bunch of kids, again no space to begin to do justice to them.
We live out of town.
I had a wonderful family to grow up in.
I couldn’t have picked a better place to grow up or a better time to do so.
I was bored silly at school but there was none of the, none, of the frantic, heartwrenching stuff that went on or goes on in other schools – at least I was immune or may be just too stupid to notice it if it was there. I never got involved in any case. There were a couple of teachers whom I would gladly have traded in . . .
I have never been hungry.
I have not yet been desperate, for any thing or any reason . . .
May
be
That is my why – why I am not on my grand way to Bigger Better Most Wonderful l l !
How much more could there be ?
Not that I am really un aware that there is a whole lot more out there but my self talk has been
I am satisfied with who I am, who is around me, what I have achieved,
I look at the world around me and the people around me and all the bad stuff that is so often involved and I say,
I had it good, I Have it good !
I see so many Achievers who had a Big Emotional Event (or Series) that
Motivated them to decide that there Had to be more, things Had to change
(desire mixed with strong emotion = burning obsession)
(interesting how it so often seems to take very negative experience to be the motivation . . .)
I know, I know, there is a list as long as my long arm of things that need fixing, things that need replaced, I really am smart enough to see the possibilities of even much more than all that would require . . .
Self talk Is important. Having some thing to talk about is important. Kindling the fire is important, strong emotion to mix with it.

Ken Klemm - Florida, USA

The Life of a Farmer, Part 2
3. (Faith). In summer he battles adverse weather, pesky
pests and a never-ending parade of weeds. What sustains
him through his months of cultivating?
He simply KNOWS diligently performing the right daily
actions will yield an abundant harvest in autumn.
There is a distinct difference between FAITH and
BELIEF. Faith is a FEELING, while Belief is a
hard-wired neural pathway in the Brain. The pathways
are built by repeating the same words and performing
the same actions over and over.
The resulting Belief, mixed with POSITIVE emotion,
induces the Feeling of Faith.
2. (Auto-Suggestion). Throughout the ages many who have
worked the soil sang as they toiled. The songs we call
Spirituals evolved this way.
As Hill points out, ALL Suggestion is received via the
5 physical senses and either passed or rejected by the
Conscious Mind. Those passed on are fed to the awesome
engine of the Subconscious Mind, to become part of its
relentless Programming.
SELF-TALK is our conscious, voluntary CHOICE of program
code. Its net result will be either vast Abundance or
deep Lack.
Your Friend and Servant,
Ken Klemm - Florida, USA
P.S. 3. Faith, therefore, is a matter of CHOICE.
P.S. 4. Effective Self-Talk must contain all 3 of these
elements: Strong positive Feeling, powerful and
specific Desire, and unstoppable Belief.
