Those attributes come from Think and Grow Rich the seminal work written way back in the 1930′s by Napoleon Hill.

Whilst some of the language is somewhat archaic by compared with what you are used to reading today, the lessons and insights Hill delivers are as appropriate as ever.

Think and Grow Rich is one of the all time greats of  the “how to succeed’ genre, in many respects it is also a highly metaphysical work.

It is not a book to read from cover to cover and the forget about.

Each chapter is a lesson in itself with each subsequent chapter building on the lessons of the previous ones. It requires, no it demands careful study and repeated reading.

If you take the trouble to do this, you pretty much can not help but succeed.

Of course many find this a bit difficult to do.

You might be one who finds this is so.

If you do, I invite you to go to my site and fill in the contact form and let’s get to work right away.

Taking action is a very good place to start.

 Later there will be more posts from that site and free stuff as well as an opportunity to subscribe so you will automatically be kept up to date with new posts.
I plan to make it all informative, have a bit of fun, and mostly – offer you some inspiration.
 I will even post more commentary here with links to my new site.

Personal Development, Self Improvement, Spiritual Enlightenment, ‘How to……pretty much anything’, Goal Setting, Realizing/Achieving Your Dreams to Yes! You CAN Do it! are all incredibly well catered for on the ‘net.

And no doubt every day there is a new incarnation of that which has gone before – all be it with a modern twist. Yet you ‘the market’ seem to have an insatiable appetite for this work. Why is that I wonder? We live in a time of amazing wealth [yes I know - there's a downturn right now - not new - we have had those before - and no doubt we'll experience them again], but we are still searching for the Holy Grail, the magic silver bullet that will turn the pumpkin into a golden coach – riches and wealth forever – Yay!!

I bet you are familiar with the incredible hooplah around ‘The Secret’ and the subsequent emergence of all the  ‘teachers’ as seen on the CD and/or Oprah.

Personally, I loved The Secret and the re-emergence seemingly from nowhere of a huge demand to buy or see the movie and to learn more. Perhaps it has served to increase our awareness that life could possibly be a little better – perhaps a strong signal that most of us are generally discontented with our lot. Rampant materialism has not dampened our inner yearning for peace and happiness.

Where do we go to find peace and contentment? Well, we go to the same place we have always gone – or where those that have ‘the knowledge’ go – within.

I’ll save any more comment on going within for another day – suffice to say that once we ‘get’ this we are ready to embark on a journey of discovery and wonderment. We still have to function in this world of course, you know, earn a living, socialize, have fun, eat, sleep.

But the fundamentals always remain the same – get clear – set a goal – take action. Align it with your values [what's important to you] and set sail!

Which brings me to one of the most popular writings of all time around these principles – ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill. This book is still selling or being offered as part of various packages and still being read despite the somewhat archaic language.  The principles in this book still hold true to this day.

Another well recognized writing on success and wealth is ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace Wattles. Many have attributed their success to Wattles’ teachings. His book was written around 1912, Think and Grow Rich about 1937.

Both books are available in digital format for download. If you would like a free copy, make a comment to this fact with your email address and I will email a copy to you.

There’s plenty more similar books available in my digital library – but they are for another day.

I think I will call myself a ‘Digital Coach’ – read first and then let’s set some goals and take some action!!!

Firstly the Olympics. Mahe Drysdale has demonstrated true Olympic spirit with his gutsy performance in the single sculls final. Despite severe illness he competed to the point of collapse – he secured a bronze medal – at full fitness maybe that would have been gold. However it is his gritty performance in the face of real adversity that epitomises what it’s all about. No excuses in the end. He accepts responsibility.

Georgia. Seems to me a classic lack of acceptance of responsibility [ backed up in this case by the US?]. From some accounts the Georgian leader chose to take on an ally of Russia whilst counting on the support of the West with whom he had been cultivating alliances. Well Russia did not muck around and the result has become one of more spin than an out of control top from the West. Get over it, move on, build bridges not escalate conflict!

Pakistan. What seemed to be a way forward out of the messy politics of the past, Musharaff seems to have lost his way, become unpopular and has now resigned. At least he has listened to his opposition and not denied reality like Mugabe in Zimbabwe – what a disaster – I still have yet to figure out how we can commit such atrocities against our fellow citizens.

New Zealand. Helen Clarke as head of Government for three terms has become somewhat unpopular and looks to be voted out at the forthcoming general elections. This past week I, among many, have seen a more human side through the tragedy that occurred as mentioned earlier. So bravo!

Which leads me to my passion – the internet is borderless and many disenfranchised people have found some form of solace from this mere fact. Sure, there’s plenty of suppression as to access for certain folks and yes, there are some dodgey buggers lurking around, but at the same time we have the greatest repository of information available to us – mostly for free. Hurrah for that! In time this method of communicating will overcome mad governments, allow people to become financially independent, educated and more knowledgeable.

A way forward to a greater community.

Marketing is the key to getting my business online – after I have defined what it is that I need to focus on [initially at least].

These two lessons were repeated time and again by most of the ‘gurus’ who spoke at the World Internet Summit’ here in Auckland N.Z. last week. Pretty much like the Law of Attraction in action!

So, it is time to start putting the correct building blocks in place so that I can reach more people and help more people through the power of the world wide web.

I am learning new stuff very day – like Yaro Starak who has a successful blog that provides him with a steady income – he has some great tutorial videos and has produced an excellent e book [ free] on what to do. You can check that out at www.entrepreneurs-journey.com

The question remains at this point whether to focus purely on blogging or to have a web site with a blog also.

I am getting advice from a successful SEO expert on this next week and so my journey begins. One great piece of advice given at the seminar was to get a mentor – advice that I am taking this time. I have spent too much time and money trying o do it all myself and the results speak for themselves! As a coach I should know that!

So, watch this space as I begin my journey – I’ll do my best to regularly update the process – my own journey.

Just like the Mythology/Metaphor workshop I embarked on a few weeks ago – getting in touch with and noticing my ‘shadow’ – now my shadow is ‘out there’ and its voice has much less power than it used to!

To Your Success,

phil

P.S. Did I mention you can check this all out for FREE for 30 days?

Maybe you found out about Jerry and Esther Hicks and their work with the entity called Abraham. There are others of course.

What was all the fuss about?

Why are you not enjoying the same financial well being and an abundant life?

Could it be it to do with the fact that most of you do not enjoy the kind of life that the teachers of ‘the secret’ espouse? Whether that’s by way of the material or good things in life like lots of money, nice car, nice house etc., or a more spiritual approach that has less to do with material wealth and more to do becoming reconnected to what’s important for you in your life – whatever that is.

For most of you, I feel it is fair to say that having more than enough money in order to ‘just get by’ is very important. At least you can help a lot of people or organizations with money – you can’t do much good without it!

And you do need money to get by in this modern world.

So, why, if we apply the lessons in ‘The Secret’ [and other works], are you not experiencing the lifestyle you wish for?

Could it be to do with your mindset? No doubt like me, your default program – how you think and feel and believe is preventing you – a road block so to speak.

Well, I have something for you to check out – it is free, I am using it and I am noticing a change. I encourage you to have a look, there are other options should you wish to take it further.
