FEATURE ARTICLE

Joining Forces for Success

There is strength in numbers! Completing a 3-day sixty-mile walk
with 3000 other walkers has turned me into a real believer. The
walk was a true esprit de corps experience. The energy, enthusiasm and excitement generated by the group was absolutely awesome. On top of that we raised 5.5 million dollars for breast cancer research and related programs! Napoleon Hill's Master Mind principle of coordinating people through mind and body,in a spirit of harmony for a definite purpose was alive and well!

Hill's principle shows up over and over in daily living. Listen to an orchestra play beautiful music together. Watch a group of actors perform on stage. Observe any sports team competing to win a game. Notice how charity organizations rally people together to raise money for research to find cures for cancer, leukemia, diabetes, etc. The most successful businesses use teams to increase the cycle of producing new products.

As people join together for a common cause an amazing thing happens.
Synergy takes over and momentum builds to achieve spectacular
results. An intangible energy force creates an effort that reaches far beyond what otherwise would have been achieved.

Have you ever put off pursuing a special goal because you thought
you had to do it by yourself? Imagine the wonderful possibilities of engaging others to help you. You may not need a cast of thousands. One or two others are all it might take to help you reach that special goal. Here is a five step process you can apply to create your own Master Mind principle.

1. Have a dream. Know what you want to achieve. Go for the
impossible. Make it real in your mind's eye.

2. Share your vision. Broadcast your dream. Let others
become a part of your dream.

3. Create a definite purpose. Emphasize the importance of what
are you trying to achieve. People rally around a purpose
when they feel what they are doing adds value.

4. Communicate clearly. Keep information flowing freely to your
team. They want to be part of the process.

5. Build Spirit. Motivate! Motivate! Motivate! Believe in your
team and they will believe in your dream.

We all have a desire and need to connect with others and find meaning in our lives. Big thinkers see themselves as part of a team effort. Why not leverage that basic human need and achieve your impossible dream? Build your own "dream team". Remember, there is strength in numbers!

Top Ten Most Important Things to Do Today
By Michael E. Angier

This is my list. They're the ones I've selected for my life at
present. Consider them suggestions for yourself--ideas to help
you generate your own top ten list. By getting clear on and
acting upon YOUR most important steps, you'll be moving toward
and experiencing your highest and best.

1. Practice gratefulness. Reflect upon the things in my life for
which I'm grateful. If I appreciate more of what I have, I will
have even more to appreciate.

2. Write out my three most important goals and visualize how my
life will be when I have achieved them. FEEL it. EXPERIENCE it
in as much sensory detail as I can possibly imagine.

3. Take some action steps toward each of the three goals.

4. Exercise my body and monitor carefully what I eat and drink.
Reduce fat and caloric intake while expending more calories. Eat
only small amounts at one time.

5. Read something educational, inspirational or
entertaining--preferably all three.

6. Meditate. Empty my conscious mind and listen to the
Super-conscious.

7. Have fun doing something I love to do. Experience joy.

8. Write something--anything. If not an article or part of my
book, then write in my journal.

9. Perform some act of kindness. Do a thoughtful, magnanimous
thing--anonymously if possible.

10. Finish something. Do something I can call complete.

Bonus Step: Make something work better--Practice ADS: Automate,
Delegate and Systemize.
