CHAPTER 2
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches
All network marketers have a burning desire or really do they?
We all dream of having a check come to our door monthly with an amount big enough to pay all our bills.
They call this residual income and personal freedom.
But how do we tell if our burning desire is truly a burning desire or just a nice wish or dream.
Here are some of the good signs which indicate we have a burning desire.
(1) When you do that extra bit more when you are exhausted.
(2) Being close to the fire and attending all our Mentoring for Free skills calls and listening to the recording if we could not be on the call live.
(3) Helping all our team members reach their goals.
(4) Doing our follow up calls with people who have downloaded our e-Book.
(5) Writing our lesson plan for the Wednesday Mental Cleanse calls.
(6) Speaking up on all our calls no matter how hard it may seem.
(7) Doing all our personal training by learning from those who have gone before us by listening to the training recording in the Mentoring for Free archives.
(8) Learning and practicing the 25 skills which Tom “Big Al” Schreiter has taught us.
(9) Using all the products and services that our company has by becoming a product of the product.
(10) Sharing all our products with others and seeing if they would want to also use them.
(11) Getting out of our comfort zone as our fear are only ghosts.
Thank you all in the Mental Cleanse Mastermind Group for all your input and especially Michael and Linda for creating this fabulous group. We love you all dearly.

CHAPTER 2
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches
Mere wishing will not bring or attract riches, it goes much deeper, it is a state of mind. It starts with a Burning Desire that grows and possesses to the point that plans are made and followed through with great persistence. If I truly desire money, or some other thing of great value, it has to become an obsession so that I can convince and convict myself that it will become mine!
I must become money conscious, so thoroughly convinced by my Burning Desire that I am already in possession of it. It certainly sounds like an “All In” process to me. The steps that I need to take are not what most would call spectacular, anyone with the Desire, imagination and Persistence to carry through a plan can do this. This reminds me of what Michael said about self-talk. When people ask him his secret and he tells them to say their positive self-talk 400 times a day or more, they either don’t believe him or they just figure it can’t be that easy, whatever the case the results are the same. I think part of it is, people truly don’t want that success bad enough.
Hill tells us that I will NEVER have riches in great quantities UNLESS I can work myself into a White Heat (wow, that is Hot) Desire for the money and actually Believe, knowing with a surety that I will possess it!
This paragraph from Hill’s lesson really had me thinking: Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they “arrive.” The turning point in the lives of those who succeed, usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their “other selves.” I really have to become (go through the process, whatever it takes) the person who endures relentlessly to obtain my goal. Yes, that can be life changing, it certainly will add steel to my character, making me stronger, almost a different person. I truly believe that I am becoming that person, with God’s help and the awakening that MFF has provided me with.
Desire backed by Faith pushes reason aside and inspires one to Endure. Mother Nature, nor mere man is no match for such a person who has these qualities!
Blessings,

" ...there is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, the
knowledge of what one wants, and a burning DESIRE to possess it." -Napoleon Hill Ch.2 "Think and Grow Rich".
Last week we talk about how thoughts are things, and I explained why it is critical develop a well-crafted self-talk said 400 times per day in order to become the person that people want to join in business. So, this week I will give you the key ingredient that you need to create a well crafted self-talk that will serve you in reaching your destiny. That secret ingredient is a burning Desire.
I've just come to more fully understand the purpose of developing "Why that makes you cry". See, if we can find the events or situations in my lives that caused the most pain for ourselves and those we love, then we can find the Burning Desire to do whatever it takes to install and act upon the positive emotions that are necessary to change defeat into success. The Burning Desire comes from the pain you experienced that makes your "Why" so strong that you would walk over hot coals or broken glass to make your Burning Desire happen.
I'll never forget the pain my kids went through during all those years that I struggled. And that pain from the past, Now turned in Love, Faith, Hope, Desire, Enthusiasm, Sex, Romance and Prosperity is what backs my Burning Desire to enthusiastically build the largest, most profitable, highest retention organization in the history of network marketing through top notch training and the power of the mastermind. What fuels my Burning Desire is my unstoppable enthusiasm in helping great people like you to be, do and have more.
To Your Peace and Prosperity,
David H. Paul

PS- Which of those eight emotions above gets your Burning Desire stoked up?

CHAPTER 2: DESIRE
I have a lot of desires, but not many have become realities in my life. Why??
I've done the exercise Mr. Hill has given us in this chapter, many times, but
nothing has come of it. Why??
I've set many clear goals, but haven't achieved them. Why??
I was talking to Ian one day about my feeling that I'm not getting anywhere.
He said it's probably because I have so many interests. Aha!!!
In this chapter on Desire, Mr. Hill uses terms such as:
~ FIX in your mind
~ EXACT amount of money
~ DEFINITE date
~ DEFINITE plan
~ CLEAR, CONCISE statement
~ CLEARLY describe
The sun cannot start a piece of paper on fire until it is forced through a glass
lens. The Niagara River couldn't provide electricity for scores of communities
if it didn't hurl with thunderous force over the precipice. Michael and Linda
wouldn't be where they are today if they weren't laser focused on the
strategies they teach us for building our businesses.
It's not a bad thing to have many interests. But it's not the way to success.
It diffuses my efforts and my energies, and fogs up my clarity. There will be
plenty of time to pursue some of those interests AFTER I am successful in my
business.

Chapter 2- Desire
Hill tells us “There is one quality one must possess to win,
and that is DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, the knowledge
of what one wants and a burning desire to possess it.”
Hill also tells us “There is a difference between wishing for
a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready
for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state
of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. Open mindedness
is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage and belief.”
We have all at times desired something and never attained it and
never really understood why. I believe when we do not
attain our desire, that desire was not backed by belief, faith and
determination.
If we miss one of these ingredients our desire will remain a wish.
Belief is determination when you have the faith that you will succeed.
Determination helps us overcome fear, builds belief in ourselves,
gives us the will to keep trying again and again when we set a goal and
work towards it without looking back.
Failure only comes when we quit trying.
Hill also says “No more effort is required to aim high in life, to
demand abundance and prosperity, than is required
to accept misery and poverty."
We are all in our own race and we can all win as long as we
keep going and keep our eye on the goal.
Desire cannot work alone. Desire needs belief, faith
and determination to become a reality. In other words,
definiteness of purpose.
