If you could be sure of success– if you knew that whatever you attempted to do would not fail– what would you try to accomplish in the next 30 days?

Today’s post is about getting off your ass.

30 Days, Zero Capital to One Thousand Dollars Challenge

I’m right in the middle of a 30 Day Challenge, and here on day 25 I just realized I didn’t start the Challenge the way I’ve started every other one: with a clear statement of the goal, and why I want to reach it.

Napoleon Hill, the genius writer of Think and Grow Rich, said that there is one way to be sure of reaching one’s goals: to write them down and keep them where you can see them.

Giving thanks for something that you don’t actually have in your possession.. YET… conditions your mind to think of it as already being yours, to think of it as being part of what is due to you.

In his many books and recorded materials he gave various formulas for how to write out these goals and use them daily. I’ve paraphrased my favorite of these formulas.

1. Write Down exactly what it is that you want
2. Write Down exactly what you intend to give in return
3. Develop a plan to begin giving, right now
4. Memorize your written plans above and repeat them at least a dozen times per day, along with expressions of gratitude that what you wish for is already in your possession. Possession happens first in the mind.

What Does Kurt Frankenberg Want for Shoestring101 Readers?

SO..! For the world to see, here is my Definite Chief Aim with Shoestring101:

I want to help 10,000 of my fellow human beings to achieve the happiness, independence, and income limited only by one’s imagination that owning a small business affords.

I will distribute both information and inspiration, drawing on my experiences and the experiences of others that have started their own successful businesses.

I will write and promote daily, creating and distributing blog posts, PDFs, books, podcasts, instructional videos, information products, webinars, consulting services, and other content dedicated to helping entrepreneurs.

I believe I can do it.

More importantly, I believe YOU can do it… you can be one of the entrepreneurs that drops the shackles of a day-to-day existence serving to build someone else’s dream and following their orders. Instead I believe you can call your OWN shots and work toward your OWN dreams.

Watch Shoestring101 for the best I can deliver in terms of why-to, what-to, and how-to. I won’t rest until I know that 10,000 entrepreneurs had the chance to say goodbye to the rat race and hello to true ownership of their time, energy and resources.

Conceive, Believe, Receive and Achieve! …Write Down YOUR Goals

Are YOU game?

Then let’s get IN the game.

Your first assignment is to follow the exact plan and procedure above: write down what you want, what you intend to give in exchange for it, begin giving, and give many expressions of gratitude daily that you already have what it is that you want.

Thankfulness is a powerful key to manifesting abundance. Giving thanks for what you already have is necessary to enjoy what you have. It conditions your mind to receive fully the benefit of owning what you own.

Giving thanks for something that you don’t actually have in your possession.. YET… conditions your mind to think of it as already being yours, to think of it as being part of what is due to you.  Once you begin to condition your mind that it is already yours, the situations that bring about it actually being yours will come to pass.

Okay, you super-good-lookin’ reader! 😎 I could write more about the importance of a written goal, complete with your commitment of what to give in return, a plan and most importantly, several expressions of thanksgiving per day until what you want becomes a reality. BUT..! It would be much better to hear from YOU.

I’d really love to hear from you in the comment section. Maybe put your plans there for what you want in the next 30 days.

I’ll look for your post.

Keep Stepping!

Kurt
