Groundhog Day or Karen Killilea? Which will it be?
Have you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day? Morning after morning he wakes up
to live the same day over and over again.  until he gets it right. Day after day he
lives in utter frustration until finally one morning he wakes up to a brand new day.
"Karen" is the biography of Karen Killilea, who was born with cerebral palsy, and was
fiercely independent even as a young child. She would spend an hour and a half in
the mornings putting on her socks and shoes by herself, rather depend on her mother
to do it for her. At age 11, after seven months of coaching, she wrote an original
sentence by herself. It took her 36 minutes. When she was finished, she looked up
at her proud and beaming parents and said, "I can walk. I can talk. I can read.
I can WRITE. Mom Pom, I can do ANYTHING!"
Groundhog Day is a story of frustration and repeating many of the same mistakes
over and over again, always wondering what he was doing wrong, until finally he
gave in and did it right.
Karen Killilea is a story of determination, faith and persistence... a young girl who
refused to give in to what others would consider insurmountable obstacles. Thoughts
of failure never crossed her mind. She lived each day with her eye on her goal of
independence, and everything she did was toward that end.
Groundhog Day or Karen Killilea... which will it be?
I don't know about you, but I know the answer for me!

The Eighth Step toward Riches
Persistence is the POWER OF WILL.
An example of some who were effective in their use of persistence were the Fords, Carnegies, Rockefellers, Napoleon Hill and Edisons.  One might be inclined to think the average person couldn't be included in that group.
We can be included if we apply PERSISTENCE to Napoleon Hill's 13 factors.  We must have a definite goal and a definite plan to reach that goal.  The amount of PERSISTENCE we have is directly proportional to the INTENSITY OF ONE'S DESIRE.
I can relate to this INTENSITY OF DESIRE.  When I met my future wife, Lucy, I'm not sure of the exact moment, but sometime early in our relationship I knew I was going to marry her.  The possibility of that not happening NEVER entered my mind.  I just knew it was going to happen.
I'm working toward that same PERSISTENCE mind set in my MLM business with the help of the MFF mastermind group.  Finally, I have found a system that will help me achieve any goal I set.
I have already experienced self-talk being able to get me back on track when I stray off a bit.
There is no substitute for persistence:
"EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT ADVANTAGE."
Those of us who accept this rule know from experience the soundness of persistence.  My marriage of 48 years is a good example.
Success of our MLM business is based on the 8 elements of persistence:
Definiteness of purpose
Desire
Self-Reliance
Definiteness of Plans
Accurate knowledge
Co-operation
Will-Power
Habit
Several of these elements have already had a positive effect on my life by improving my relationship with others.  The road is long and narrow, but now I know there is a roadmap that will get me there.
Thanks to all in the MFF mastermind group.

CHAPTER 9
PERSISTENCE: THE SUSTAINED EFFORT NECESSARY TO INDUCE FAITH
The Eighth Step toward Riches.
My experiences.
On my past lesson I said, “Many times my decisions were or are controversial and had or have to overcome third people’s opinion because, at the end, is my reality. Feeling scare? Of course but I knew that I had or have to do or make it. My crucial decisions that I took were, and to me they are examples of persistence, viz,
• When I came to The USA, To SUCCESS, with US$ 120.00 in my pocket
• When I got to resign of a job because of discrimination, bullies, etc. attitudes, and I didn’t have any kind of job opportunity offer. Friday August 06, 2010
• When I started two years ago, step by step, my Networking Marketing Business’ knowledge. Either General Knowledge or Specialized Knowledge, my focus has been always to get knowledge and apply it.
• When I enrolled to MFF, 30DMC, again by myself, on Saturday, April 02, 2011
• When I took many turning points in, on, at several aspects of my life on Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 with my English Tutor’s help.
• When I enrolled to MFFPro by myself on Monday September 26, 2011 because to me it is a unique System.
• When my Networking’s Mentors left me alone because of they tried to enroll me to their business opportunity, and I didn’t accept.
• When I decided to work with a Mentor who, for the first time, was the only one who listened to me and resonated with the Success in 10 Steps’ philosophy and teachings. Tuesday June 19, 2012
• Now, I am on the road as networker with a NMB, since Monday, July 16, 2012, as partner and with a heart of service doing it steadily, persistently, relentlessly in a smart way. And using the STB platform.
• And much more.
But, at this point, what persistence is? What it means? What Persistence means to each of us?
Dictionary defines it:
1. The quality, act or fact of persisting; tenacity
2. The act of persisting; continued effort or existence or occurrence
3. The continuance of an effect after the cause of it has stopped
4. The continuance of an effect after its cause is removed.
Master Napoleon says,
• PERSISTENCE IS AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN THE PROCEDURE OF TRANSMUTING DESIRE INTO ITS WEALTHY EQUIVALENT. The basis of persistence is the power of will and love in, on and at you do or make
• Will power and desire properly combined make a resistless pair
• Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of FAILURE. Indefiniteness of organized planning, lack of decision and procrastination as well.
• If we find we are weak in persistence, we must carry out consciously the instructions given with regard to the six steps in the chapter “Desire,” also we must center our attention upon the instructions contained in the chapter “Power of Master Mind” group. Besides, we will find additional instructions in the chapter “Autosuggestion,” and in the chapter “The Subconscious Mind”
My point of view about this chapter is that we must get an "Organized Persistence" in order to we can develop the necessary “wealthy consciousness.” How? Well, Master Napoleon says, “The building of a fortune, generally, involves the application of the entire thirteen factors of this philosophy. These principles must be understood, they must be applied with PERSISTENCE by all who accumulate wealth.”
At this point, I am totally focused to improve and follow my English skills, My Why’s, My Three Reasons. I have learned How to Think, not What to Think but being a critical thinker. I have learned I must “empty” my mind and “fill it up” via Success in 10 Steps-book, MFF System, 30 Day-Mental-Cleanse Program, any other personal development information, (…), and doing them steadily, persistently, relentlessly in a smart way.
Allow me to put on your consideration this shuffled - cyclic sequence to learn Master Napoleon’s factors and teachings that I’m trying out now:
1.   Chapter 1: Thoughts are Things
2.   Chapter 15: The Six Ghosts of Fear
3.   Chapter 2: Desire
4.   Chapter 3: Faith
5.   Chapter 4: Autosuggestion
6.   Chapter 5: Specialized Knowledge
7.   Chapter 6: Imagination
8.   Chapter 11: The Mystery of Sex Transmutation
9.   Chapter 8: Decision
10. Chapter 9: Persistence
11. Chapter 10: The Power of Master Mind
12. Chapter 7: Organized Planning
13. Chapter 12: The Subconscious Mind
14. Chapter 13: The Brain
15. Chapter 14: The Sixth Sense
16. Self Analysis: Chapter 15
“You may find it necessary to ‘snap out of’ your mental inertia through a similar procedure, moving slowly at first, and then increasing your speed, until you gain complete control over your will. Be PERSISTENT no matter how slowly you may, at first, have to move.  With Persistence will come success”
- Napoleon Hill

Think & Grow Rich
Chapter 9 Persistence
Persistence the sustained effort necessary to induce faith.
The eighth Step Toward Riches
Hill says, “The basis of PERSISTENCE is the power of will.”
There is a formula, a recipe for success.
Making a cake without flour just can’t be done, other key
ingredients, milk, sugar, shortening, eggs and more.  Blend “all”
ingredients and bake…
Manifesting your dreams into reality…can’t be done without
first knowing what ingredients are necessary to make it happen.
Making a Dream reality starts with the first ingredient, your
“Why”.  Not just any why, but a why that in fact makes you cry.
The next ingredient is DESIRE, not just any desire, but a
burning desire.  There are six additional ingredients to a
burning desire.  These ingredients can be found in chapter 2.
As we stir in desire we must begin to add faith that our
dreams will be manifested to their physical equivalent.  What
is faith?  Hill says, "Faith is the "external elixir" which gives
life, power, and action to the impulse of thought."…I am what
I say I am.  I have what I say I have regardless of the
evidence.  So what do we add next?
We add AUTOSUGGESTION.  Hill says “mix positive
affirmations of desires with positive emotion and feeling. 
Strong feeling which will strengthen the message passed to
the subconscious”.  Adding this ingredient daily and
repetitively will cause us to reprogram our own mind to take
action in a behavior that will promote our success.  For
example, this affirmation, “I have let go of indecision, doubt
and fear.  I easily approach people with a friendly message
of fun and opportunity.”
Becoming a highly skilled bakery chef requires SPECIALIZED
KNOWLEDGE so to does network marketing/MLM.  Hill says,
“Knowledge will not attract money, unless it is organized, and
intelligently directed, through practical PLANS OF ACTION, to
the definite end of manifesting our desire to its physical
equivalent.  Knowledge is not power, knowledge is only
potential power.  It becomes power only when, and if, it is
organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a
specific end.”  It is my opinion after years struggling with trial
and error in network marketing, now finding “Mentoring For
Free”; I found the Le Cordon Bleu School of mentoring and
education for network marketing/MLM.  This is “the” place
where you and I can learn the skills to grow our network
marketing business regardless of our Company Affiliation.
Next we need a little IMAGINATION and ORGANIZED
PLANNING.  Hill says, “The imagination is literally the
workshop wherein are fashioned all “PLANS” created by man. 
Organized planning is the crystallization of “Desire” into
action.”  Hill says to ally yourself with a trusted group of
people sympathetic with your cause your MASTERMIND
group.  Make sure you add value to the group in return
for their cooperation.
Now we add the ingredient of DECISION.  As we grow our
network marketing business and travel on roads unfamiliar to
our present experience we must make decisions.  If we have
lain a foundation of faith we will easily move past, if not we
will stagnate in procrastination.  This is where application of
the “Principal Ingredients” in manifesting our Dream and a
good mastermind team will help guide us through the obstacles
of our mind.
Hill says Autosuggestion is the cornerstone to the philosophy
of the thirteen principles of which 9 are mentioned in this
review.  The instructions contained in the chapter on auto
suggestion must be applied with unending PERSISTENCE if
we are to transmute our Dreams, our Desire into its Physical
equivalent.
Most people can say the word Persistence, they can
understand its “face” value but they do not come close in
Fathoming its depth.  Hill says “Willpower and Desire” make
an irresistible pair.  If you can come into the possession of
these two, you will master persistence.
I have found the most important ingredient of this recipe is…a
TRUSTED MASTERMIND GROUP.  Your trusted master
mind group will point you to all ingredients for your success;
they will support you when your willpower is vulnerable.  Your
“Well chosen and trusted” master mind group will be there
day in and day out…they will be your roll model.  You will
continue to see those that persistently apply the principles of
the recipe will continue to gain success.  You will come to
know by your own action or by observing others that as Hill
states, “Spasmodic or occasional effort to apply the rules will
be of no value to you. To get results, you must apply all of the
rules until their application becomes a fixed habit with you. In
no other way can you develop the necessary consciousness”
to transmute your desire to its physical equivalent. 
Perpetual persistence.
