Every Person Must Conquer
Procrastination

People who fail to accumulate money,
without exception, reach decisions, IF AT ALL, very slowly, and change them
quickly and often.

Decisions• Reach quickly and be definite• Change these decisions SLOWLY• A habit of definiteness of decision
assumes the proportion of obstinacy.• Obstinacy is preferable to slowness
in reaching decisions and quickness in changing them.

Opinions Are A Dime a Dozen and Are the
Cheapest Commodity On Earth
and Everyone Has One!

• If you are influenced by “opinions” when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking.
• You will not be able to manifest your Desire for money into reality.
• If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no DESIRE of your own.
Website: http://InSearchOfHeroes.net ©2012 All rights reserved. * In Search Of Heroes™ Program 7
• Unsuccessful people are easily influenced by the “opinions” of others.
• They permit the newspapers and their “gossiping” neighbors to do their “thinking” for them.
• Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them.

Keep Your Own Counsel and Be Very Careful of the Advice of
Close Friends and Relatives• Reach your own decisions and follow
them• Take no one into your confidence, EXCEPT
the members of your “Master Mind” group
• Your “Master Mind” group should include ONLY individuals who are in COMPLETE SYMPATHY AND HARMONY WITH YOUR PURPOSE.

You Have A Brain And MindOf Your Own - So Use It

make good decisions, do so quietly, without disclosing your purpose.

• Such people generally do TOO MUCH talking, and TOO LITTLE listening.

Keep Your Eyes And Ears Wide Open
And Your Mouth CLOSED• If you wish to acquire the habit of
prompt DECISION, shut up.• Those who talk too much do little else.• You do not want to deprive yourself of
many opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge.

Keep Your Eyes And Ears Wide Open
And Your Mouth CLOSED• Do not disclose your PLANS and
PURPOSES to people who will take great delight in defeating you, because they envy you.
• Every time you open your mouth in the presence of a person who has an abundance of knowledge, you show how much or how little you really know.

Genuine Wisdom Is Accompanied by Modesty And
Silence
• If you talk about your plans too freely others may beat you to your goal by PUTTING YOUR PLAN INTO ACTION AHEAD OF YOU
• KEEP A CLOSED MOUTH AND OPEN EARS AND EYES

Incredible Power Is Required For Great Actions
• The Incredible POWER that guaranteed freedom for all is the same POWER you must possess to have victory over the difficulties of Life.
• This POWER forces Life to pay the price you demand for your services
• Great changes, such as the American Revolution, and the World War, often have their beginnings in circumstances which seem unimportant?

In Union There Is Strength!
• The citizens of the Colonies had been waging disorganized warfare against the British soldiers.
• Nothing of benefit had been accomplished.• Their individual grievances had not been
consolidated under one Master Mind.• No group of individuals had put their hearts,
minds, souls, and bodies together in one definite DECISION to settle their difficulty with the British once and for all, until Adams, Hancock, and Lee got together.

• He could cease his opposition, and receive personal bribes.
• He could CONTINUE, AND RUN THE RISK OF BEING HANGED!
• Adams was forced to reach instantly, a DECISION which could have cost his life.

Racketeers And Dishonest Politicians Have Prostituted The Honor For Which Such Men As
Adams Died.• Adams and Hancock were “on the
spot!”• The threat of the irate Governor
forced the two men to reach another DECISION, equally as dangerous.
• They hurriedly called a secret meeting of their staunchest followers.

• He informed all present that it was imperative that a Congress of the Colonists be organized.

• These TWO MEN were immune to Fear.
• They were blind to the possibility of Failure.
• If there had been no DECISION to hold a Continental Congress, there could have been no signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Themselves High Estates Of Material And Spiritual
Wealth. Let Us Not Forget This!

• Freedom in the US Was Based On a DECISION created by a Master Mind, consisting of fifty-six men.
• It was their DECISION which insured the success of Washington’s armies.

Become Reality• Thought makes possible an
astounding transformation.• In your search for the secret of the

• The leaders in every walk of life DECIDE quickly, and firmly.
• That is the major reason why they are leaders.
• The world has the habit of making room for the man or woman whose words and actions show that they know where they are going.
• The habit can become permanent through grade school, high school, and even through college, without DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE.
Website: http://InSearchOfHeroes.net ©2012 All rights reserved. * In Search Of Heroes™ Program 39
INDECISION Is A Habit Which Usually Begins In Youth
• The major weakness of all educational systems is that they neither teach nor encourage the habit of DEFINITE DECISION.
• No college should permit the enrollment of any student, unless and until the student declares their major purpose for studying courses in college.

INDECISION Is A Habit Which Usually Begins In Youth

Are In The Positions They Hold, Because They Lacked The
DEFINITENESS OF DECISION To PLAN A DEFINITE POSITION, And
The Knowledge Of How To Choose An Employer

• DEFINITENESS OF DECISION always requires courage, sometimes very great courage.
• The fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence staked their lives on the DECISION to sign that document.

Pay The Price They Ask, Do Not Stake Their Lives On That Decision; They Stake Their
ECONOMIC FREEDOM

• Financial independence, riches, desirable business and professional positions are not within reach of the person who neglects or refuses to EXPECT, PLAN, and DEMAND these things.
• When you desire riches in the same spirit that Samuel Adams desired freedom for the Colonies, you will surely accumulate wealth.
