I started "The Last Secret" Training today and one of the BIGGEST lessons I’ve learned so far is this:

The KEY to success isn’t just about the frameworks or strategies you follow…it’s about your MINDSET.

Let’s dive into what I learned about defining your purpose and using it as the driving force for your journey!

What I Learned: The Power of Definiteness of Purpose

Napoleon Hill teaches that Definiteness of Purpose is the FIRST law of success...

Successful people—from business leaders to legends like Bruce Lee—have a clear chief aim, and they pursue it RELENTLESSLY.

Here’s how this lesson unfolds:

1️⃣ Your Journey Is a Hero’s Journey: Like every great hero, your journey starts in the ordinary world. You’ll face resistance, challenges, and even self-doubt as you embark on your mission toward success.

2️⃣ Clarity Is EVERYTHING: Your purpose has three parts:

WHAT you want (e.g., earning the 2 Comma Club Award)
HOW you’ll achieve it (e.g., through the Linchpin Framework)
WHY it matters (the deeper, most important reason driving you)

3️⃣ Decide and Move Forward: Success requires a firm decision to commit FULLY. You can’t leave room for quitting or half-hearted efforts. Decision means cutting off all other options and moving forward in FAITH.

4️⃣ Faith vs. Fear: Every challenge brings two choices: faith or fear. Successful people choose FAITH—faith in their purpose, their guide, and most importantly, in themselves.

How YOU Can Apply This:

Want to tap into your full potential? Start by anchoring yourself with a clear purpose.

Here’s a roadmap to get started:

1️⃣ Define Your Purpose: Ask yourself:

What’s my ultimate goal?
How will I achieve it?
Why does it matter?

2️⃣ Commit Fully: Make a covenant with yourself—not a contract. This isn’t about distrust or conditions; it’s about LOVE and TRUST in your own journey.

3️⃣ Strengthen Your Faith:

Faith in Your Purpose: Believe your goal is worth pursuing.
Faith in Your Guide: Follow ONE guide with full trust.
Faith in Yourself: Even if you don’t feel ready, the journey will make you worthy.

4️⃣ Amplify Your Purpose: Make your goal BIG and visible! Write it down. Post reminders everywhere. Share it with your community. The bigger your purpose, the more driven you’ll be to achieve it.

5️⃣ Help Others Along the Way: Engage with your community and contribute. Success isn’t just about YOU—it’s about lifting others as you rise.

What About You…

What’s YOUR Definite Purpose?
