This week I am coming right off the cuff on the topic of decision, which is Ch. 8 in "Think and Grow Rich". Everybody knows that making a decision, all by itself, has no real substance in helping us create the life and business we now want to experience. But, it is absolutely critical make one key decision, in the process finding success: the decision to be All In.
I believe that the reason Decision is Ch. 8 and not Ch. 1 in T & GR is because we need to fully understand the process we must go through to get to the place in our life where we are ready to be All In. So, We have to get to the point in our lives where we are ready to "burn the bridges behind us. Let's review the process that leads up to making this huge decision.
Ch. 1 - Thoughts are Things: What we think about, with the Most Emotional Intensity, for the longest duration, is what shows up in our lives.
Ch. 2 - Desire: A white hot buring Desire is that one thing that if I had it in my life would be worth dying for. It's what keeps me up late and night an has me jumping out of bed every morning. It's what I would do Even If no one paid me to do it.
Ch. 3 - Faith: Coming to believe in myself and have faith that I CAN!
Ch. 4 - Autosuggestion: Self- Talk; telling myself what I now want to believe is the truth, and doing that using that "thoughts are things" concept by having those thoughts and those emotions that we want to dominate our life and our business become what we tell ourselves.
Ch. 5 - Specialized Knowledge: What knowledge,skills and unique abilities to I have that I can harness as a Gift to All of You?
Ch. 6 - Imagination: I need to be able to ramp up the picture of what I want my life to be And Then Step Into It, as if it is already happening right now.
Ch. 7 - Organized Planning: What plan am I going to follow to help me get to that amazing dream life that I so vividly imagine? Has most of the plan already been developed for me? What parts am I required to come up with on my own? My organized plan needs to line up with that buring desire, me having faith in myself, being able to imagine everything being in place. And Now we come to this week.. Making a Decision to be ALL IN.
Is there any doubt why it is absolutely essential to make a decision to be All In? Those who become the person that people want to join are those who have burned their bridge behind them by doing the steps above, on step-at-a-time, and are committed to being the leader that people want to join.
To Your Peace and Prosperity,

CHAPTER 8: DECISION
"These instructions will be of no value to you UNLESS YOU DEFINITELY
DECIDE to organize them into a plan of action."  ~ Napoleon Hill
I've been up to my ears in tomatoes for the past month. Killing frost comes
early in northern Alberta, and you can only cover the tomatoes at night for
so long. Eventually you have no choice but to pick them all and bring them
indoors to ripen. And you don't dare wait till they all ripen, because many of
them won't make it.
For weeks I've been making green tomato salsa, green tomato cakes, stewed
tomatoes and spaghetti sauce.
The other night I had two gallons of diced green tomatoes in the fridge, which
had to be used up right away. Two gallons were enough to make eight 9x13
cakes. Now that is a LOT of cakes. I didn't get started baking till late in the day,
and I was STILL mixing and baking well into the wee hours. As I pulled the last
two cake pans out of the oven, I glanced at the clock. 4 AM. What??!! How
did it get to be that late?? And I thought back to a conversation I had with a
friend some years ago....
I'd called myself lazy, because of some tasks I hadn't gotten done on time.
Her response surprised me:
"No, you're not lazy... you just get overwhelmed when you don't know what
to do. Remember last month when your neighbours were away and your family
was doing their farm chores for them? You worked very hard at that. When
you know exactly what is expected of you, you dig right in and do it."
Knowing exactly what to do.... That's the key! And when you think about it,
it isn't really a DECISION until there's a plan in place, and you're following
that plan.

CHAPTER 8
DECISION: THE MASTERY OF PROCRASTINATION
The Seventh Step toward Riches
Master Napoleon points us the fact that LACK OF DECISION is one of the 30 major causes of FAILURE. Also, PROCRASTINATION, the “intelligent enemy” of DECISION, is a common enemy which practically every man must conquer.
Procrastination IS one of our time’s evils. It is the opposite of decision transmuted in action. Do we have any smart option to overcome this illness? Yes, we do. We must fight consistently, persistently, relentlessly against procrastination in order to avoid failing in our goals due to indecision. Action is Decision and vice versa. Just do it. It’s Simple.
Simple? Yeah. Be a DECISION Doer and Maker. But, how to be one? We have to be obstinate to death, with courage and faith, taking intelligent risks, involving even our own integrity, that is to say making a definite decision on the strength of desire, primary decision, faith, persistence. Don’t allow us to be inundated with unimportant tasks and time-robbers that drain our energy. Whatever be the strategy to start our day, either with the easy task (The Kaizen Way) or the difficult one (Eat that Frog), just do it and visualize the final result. Period.
Be a DECISION Doer and Maker. It sounds great!!! But, what sort of Decision to take that leads us to success or failure? Ok, Master Hill, in simple words, establishes,
1.   Take Decisions Promptly + Change Decision Slowly = Success.
2.   Take Decisions Slowly + Change Decisions Quickly and Often = Failure
It makes sense? For sure and of course our decision is to be a Successful Person: being ourselves - understanding that other opinions about us are not our realities - learning how to cleanse our minds - knowing how to think, listen to, feel and not what to think, … - avoiding or being aware in a smart way of greedy/egotistic leaders, pharisee gurus, 'heavy hitters'... - creating, building and supporting eco-ethic human, business, industries, teamwork, mastermind group relationships – being a Mentor with a Heart of Service – (…)
By the same token, through this chapter, Master Napoleon gives us priceless and incomparable examples of personages, all of whom understood that man is what he thinks, says, tells, does and makes. Those men were true evangelists of their principles and decisions for America, the World and for posterity.
My experiences about Decision
One of my Rule of Thumb that I have learned from my parents is “Thoughts are and become Things” and now it is consolidated via the MFFSystem-Master Mind Group. These things carry over me towards Decisions that I work out and affect in order to change my live, my networking-connections (family, friends, acquaintances, intelligent enemies, prospects, biz opportunity, etc.)
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. No Options my Friends, viz:
•   When I came to The USA with US$ 120.00 in my pocket
•   When I had to accept and do any kind of job in order to survive …
•   When I got my High School Diploma after my working hours
•   When I had to strive a sort of emotional illness due my Father passed away
•   When I got to resign of a job because of discrimination, bullies, etc. attitudes in there
•   When I started two years ago, step by step, my Networking Marketing Business’ knowledge.
•   When I took many turning points in, on, at several aspects of my life on May 17th, 2011
•   When I enrolled to MFF, 30DMC, MFFPro
•   When I enrolled to STB
•   Now, I am on the road as networker with a NMB as partner and with a heart of service doing it steadily, persistently, relentlessly in a smart way, and many, many times alone (Maverick?) or with my teamwork, and being like a Magnet.
•   I am totally focused to improve and follow my English skills, My Why’s, My Three Reasons and My Organized Master Plan.
“There will come a point in the race, when you alone will need to decide. You will need to make a choice. Do you really want it? You will need to decide." - Rolf Arands
Thanks MFF’s friends and Masters for this incredible mastermind group that helps people own their lives.
Sincerely with love, honesty and gratitude,
