The renowned Paul J. Meyer, who became millionaire at twenty six, a rare feat in his days, in a discussion with Mark R. Douglas, shared the following formula for his success;

Crystallize your thinking. Determine what specific goal you want to achieve.

Develop a plan for achieving your goal and a deadline for its attainment.

Develop a sincere desire for the things you want in life. A burning desire is the greatest motivator for every action.

Develop supreme confidence in yourself and your own abilities. Enter every activity without giving recognition to the possibility of defeat.

Develop a dogged determination to follow through on your plan regardless of obstacles, criticisms or circumstances.

Now that you know the formula as articulated by one who has lived by it, let me throw in this challenge; sit down to set your goals and plan for this year.

Take action immediately.
