"All success begins with definiteness of purpose, with a clear picture in your mind of precisely what you want in life." - Napoleon Hill Hey Everyone!!! I hope you're doing great today. I wanted to jump in and bring up question that I believe is the key to unlocking your success in any area of your life. It's what Napoleon Hill would call your "Definite Purpose." I posted a video below from me talking about discovering your Definite Purpose. Step #1 - Please take 2 minutes and watch the video right now Step #2 - Take some time to write out your Definite Purpose, and post it in the comments below. Step #3 - Read other people's Definite Purposes, and drop them some feedback and encouragement! Thanks everyone!! Russell Brunson P.S. - Here are some other AMAZING related Napoleon Hill quotes to help inspire your as you define your definite purpose: =========== "I don’t know why it is that when a man decides what he wants, the whole universe seems to come to his aid to see that he gets it." - Napoleon Hill =========== "The principle of psychology through which you can impress your definite chief aim upon your subconscious mind is called Autosuggestion, or suggestion which you repeatedly make to yourself. It is a degree of self-hypnotism…" - Napoleon Hill =========== "There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal at which to aim. Ninety-eight out of every hundred of those whom I have analyzed, had no such aim. Perhaps this was the major cause of their failure." - Napoleon Hill =========== "Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass." - Napoleon Hill =========== "There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought." - Napoleon Hill =========== "Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything." - Napoleon Hill

I've been trying to collect a full, complete set of every Success Magazine printed in the 1800’s. The first magazine was December 1897 (I’ve got 2 copies of it!), and then it ran for a complete year as a monthly magazine, then in December of 1898, it turned into a weekly magazine and ran that way until the end of the century. So there are 12 monthly magazines (I’m missing 2 of them) and then 55 weekly issues (and I’m missing 10 of them). You can see my almost complete collection in the attached picture! Someday I want to publish all of these for members, but it will be a monumental task. I’ve also thought about just pulling out the best of the best, and printing a book with just those articles. You’ll have to let me know what you’d like the most. But one thing I do with every issue is try to find and read any of the articles written by Orison Swett Marden. He was the founder of the magazine, and one of the most prolific writers during the New Thought Movement. I love everything he has to say! Here is one of my favorite articles I found in the September 1909 Success Magazine that I think you’ll love if you’re an achiever like me: The Passion For Achievement - By Orison Swett Marden “What are the motives which keep men slaving after they have acquired a competence?” “Is ambition a selfish attribute?” These and similar questions have often been asked me. The passion for conquest, for power, the love of achievement, is one of the most dominant and persistent characteristics of human nature. With most men the bread-and-butter and housing problem, the question of getting a living, a competence, is only one, and often one of the least, of the motives for an active career. We have an instinctive feeling that we have been set in motion by a bigger power; that there is an invisible spring within us—the “imperious must”—which impels us to go onward, to weave the pattern given us in the Mount of Transfiguration of our highest moment, to make our life-vision real. A divine impulse constantly urges us to reach upward to our highest ideal. There is something back of our supreme ambition deeper than a mere personal gratification, we instinctively feel that there is a vital connection between it and the great plan of creation, the progress, the final goal of the race.

Check out this old study planner that I found from Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone called: “1357 Plan For Personal Achievement.” I wasn’t sure what 1357 meant, but it was something published from my favorite author, Napoleon Hill, that I had never seen before, so I had to have it. After I got it home, I found that it was a system they had created for studying and applying personal development books! The premise is that you need to spend 13 minutes and 57 seconds per day reading a personal development book, and then use this form inside of the binder to help you to apply what you learned! Here is the introduction from the front section of the binder: WHAT IS THE 1357 PLAN? It is the dedication and discipline of spending a minimum of thirteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds, each day, alone with a self-help book. Read it as though the author were writing you a personal letter in response to a letter you wrote him, asking for his advice and help. It will be like receiving a letter from him every day, for the next two months. As the book is read you will search for principles, ideas and techniques which will move you closer to your goal. A goal which will help fulfill your dream. WHO IS THE 1357 PLAN FOR? Anyone who has goals in life not yet attained. Anyone who wants to experience the true riches of life. WHY USE THE 1357 PLAN? To discover the power of a self-help book. A self-help book has changed the lives of countless numbers of people. It has motivated them to establish and achieve goals beyond what they previously imagined! The 1357 Plan is a practical way to read a self-help book. It is a way to "keep score" of the things you RECOGNIZED, RELATED, ASSIMILATED, and put into ACTION! HOW TO USE THE 1357 PLAN: 1. Select a time and place for spending a minimum of thirteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds alone with a self-help book. It is important that you eliminate distractions and concentrate. Make your mind more receptive and retentive. 2. Read the pages for the day, as if the author were speaking to you and you alone. Underline key phrases. Make notes in the margin. Search for success principles, ideas and techniques.
