Essential Steps to Building Wealth

Anyone who wants to get rich needs to follow these essential steps to building wealth.

Essential Steps to Building Wealth.

The desire for a more abundant and prosperous life is one that most people have. Obviously money is an essential part of life, and the more of it you have, the more freedom you gain to live life as you please.

Wealth does not necessarily lead to happiness, but neither does poverty and struggle. To truly enjoy life to the fullest, and to live in absolute freedom, you need to have an abundance of money to spend freely as you choose.

While many people feel that they do not have what it takes to get rich, that they are limited and held back in some way, the fact remains that anyone can build lasting wealth and financial independence. This has been proven by millions of people who overcame immense shortcomings and went on to build fabulous fortunes. If it has been done before, it can be done again. Therefore you have the potential to build wealth, and you are not limited by anything except your own limiting beliefs.

There has been one book written on the steps to building wealth that has reached more lives than any other. Even though it was originally published many years ago, the message contained in it is timeless, and to this day people are hearing its message and using the information to create the life of their dreams and enough money to give themselves complete freedom. I am of course talking about the famous book by Dr. Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.

I want to outline the main points from the book, each of which are essential steps to building wealth. This system has been proven effective by millions of people, and by understanding the following steps you will gain a clearer picture of the path that you can take to unlimited financial abundance.

The Steps to Building Wealth...

Desire
Just about everyone wants to have more money, but obviously not everyone is rich. When Napoleon Hill talked about desire as being the first step to riches, he was not talking about a mere wishing or fantasizing. He was talking about a powerful desire, one that would impel the individual to do whatever necessary to succeed. He states "A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of laziness, indifference, or lack of ambition." The more powerful you desire for wealth, the more likely you will be to attain it.

Faith
The next step in Dr. Hill's formula for wealth is faith. This is not a faith in a certain religion, God, or anything of that nature. By the word "faith" he meant that you must actually believe that you will reach our financial goals and build the fortune that you desire. If you can believe that you will get rich, you can. But if you do not feel that you will be able to, you will surely not. You must be able to see yourself as the wealthy individual that you want to be, otherwise your chances are slim-to-none. Taking time to build your self-confidence will help you to believe in yourself and your abilities to prosper.

Autosuggestion
The third step to wealth is autosuggestion. Autosuggestion is when you deliberately take time to influence your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is where we hold our deepest habits and beliefs, and these in turn effect the results that we get out of everything that we do. Dr. Hill said that "Man may become the master of himself, and of his environment, because he has the power to influence his own subconscious mind." Affirming wealth to yourself is a powerful thing to do. Affirmations based on your individual desires for wealth, read several times a day, can influence your subconscious and allow you to more easily create the wealth that you desire.

Specialized Knowledge
This is one of my favorite points that was made in this book. Dr. Hill said that specialized knowledge is the fourth step to riches, not just knowledge alone. General knowledge does not have a great deal of power, especially when it comes to getting rich. Filling your mind with useless facts and figures will not ensure your financial success, but acquiring specialized knowledge will. Specialized knowledge means that you know the in's and out's of your chosen profession. You do not need to be a highly educated person to build wealth, you simply need to invest in the knowledge of your service, merchandise, or profession. This is the kind of knowledge that has the power to succeed in your chosen field and to prosper as a result.

Imagination
The proper use of your imagination is one of the essential steps to building wealth. Here is what Napoleon Hill said about the imagination: "The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man. The impulse, the desire, is given shape, form, and action through the aid of the imaginative faculty of the mind." All fortunes start with an idea, and if you have the desire for wealth, believe that you will attain it, influence your subconscious mind with the idea of wealth, and acquire specialized knowledge about your chosen field, you will begin to formulate plans in your imagination, plans that will provide your individual path to wealth.

Organized Planning
Using your imagination to formulate an idea for wealth is the 5th step to building a fortune, and the 6th step is crystalizing that idea into a concrete and definite plan. Many people come up with great ideas that have the potential to build a fortune, but not everyone takes it to the level of actually created a definite plan and following it. Once you have your idea, start organizing and planning so that you know what actions you need to take to turn your desire into a reality.

Decision
Having an idea is great, and having a plan to execute that idea is even better, but unless you take action with your plan it will never do you any good. So many people see there dreams fall to the waste-side because they procrastinated with their plans, and therefore they never turned into a reality. The decision that Napoleon Hill stated as the 7th step to riches is the decision to take your idea, your pan for wealth, and make it happen. Action is essential, and action follows a decision to follow through with your plan. If you follow through with your decisions you will not allow procrastination to kill off your ambitions and your dreams.

Persistence
Persistence is the last step to wealth that I wanted to share today, and in all reality it is the most important. No matter how well you follow the steps to building wealth mentioned above, and no matter how far you take your ideas and your plans, if you give up before your goals have been reached, nothing else will matter. To succeed you must persist, and quitting is never an option. When someone makes an unbending decision to get rich, and they make the commitment to never give up, what could possibly stop them? If you never quit in your pursuit for wealth, you will eventually succeed under any condition.
