CHAPTER 8 DECISION: THE MASTERY OF PROCRASTINATION
The Seventh Step toward Riches
Napoleon Hill suggests there is accurate data to show a lack of decision or procrastination to be one of the main reasons men and women are not successful.
He suggests successful people make decisions promptly and change those decisions slowly, if at all.
If we want to excel in a specific area, we must find a mastermind group. For us and our home business, this would be Mentoring For Free. To internalize what Michael and others are teaching, we need to remember that we have two ears and one mouth. We need to use them in that same ratio. We can do this most effectively by:
“TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTENDED TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.”
When our country was being formed, there were many examples of men who made decisions by assuming great risk. These decisions often meant the possibility of death. The fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence risked death from the British.
John Hancock and Samuel Adams called a meeting of the Provincial Council to have all British solders removed from Boston. These two men showed their ability to make definite decisions, even in the face of grave danger. The strength of a mastermind group was demonstrated.
The result of this mastermind group was the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. These men staked their lives on the decision to sign this document. Fortunately for us today, when we reach a definite decision we will probably not stake our life on that decision, but we will be staking our economic freedom on the decision.
So with the spirit that Samuel Adams demonstrated we must also demonstrate by expecting, planning and demanding outcomes that will lead to our becoming a successful leader of people.
As long as I stay focused on the Mentoring For Free mastermind group, procrastination will be defeated.
Thanks to all who contribute to this mastermind group.
