In chapter two of Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill there is a "method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent" in six steps.
Here are the steps he outlines...
1.) Think of a specific dollar amount. It needs to be as specific as possible.
2.) Determine exactly what you'll give in return for this specific dollar amount.
3.) Pick an end date for when you intend to posse the specific dollar amount. Again, get specific.
4.) Create a detailed play for carrying out 1-3 and START NOW, even if you don't feel ready.
5.) Write out a clear concise statement that includes all the details of 1-4.
6.) Read the statement out loud to yourself twice a day (when you wake up, and before you go to bed) and really FEEL and believe that the money is already in your possession.
Here's my statement so far:
I will dedicate two years of my life to become financially free by my 33rd birthday on July 6th, 2023. I will do this by educating myself about personal finance every day, discover and create new passive income streams every week, and document the process of learning and growing on YouTube. This will result in earning no less than $250,000 to invest with, pay off debt, and save for my future self.
