A Year of Growing Rich:  Concentration

 

Book Cover

 


This is the 36th week of a 52 week motivational journey and I want to invite you along.  Each week, I will touch on one of the chapters from Napoleon Hill's book titled  A Year of Growing Rich and subtitled "52 Steps to Achieving Life's Rewards."

"The most successful people have acquired the habit of concentration on a single thing at a time, instead of spreading their efforts over many fields," says Hill.

It is important to use concentration in a positive manner. Concentrate on the things that will bring you success and don't dwell on failures. As you are starting out with your goals and business plans for 2012 be very selective. Pick a limited number of goals that are important to you. Then concentrate on those goals.
 

"Any person who obtains a high degree of success usually starts off by putting everything they have behind a single objective. They stay on a single track until they get to their destination. After that, they may branch out by setting new goals for themselves," says Hill.
 
 
Concentrate on the most important things you want from life. Be determined and don't allow anything stand in your way.

"Remember, your only limitations are those you set up in your own mind. Concentrate on overcoming them and nothing can stop you," concludes Hill.

Gary~your posts are inspiring and I feel the need to buy this book. Maybe I can get it on CDs and give it to my hubby, too, as he constantly listens to motivational books on management, finance, life. He doesn't like to read, so that's the way around it! I bought him Steve Jobs biography, which he will be listening to, soon. His favorite?  Good to Great by Jim Collins.

Thanks for this. And my hubby is a big one for staying singularly focused. I like the advice of concentrating on a few solid goals. We always write our personal/professional/relationship goals on New Year's weekend. We started it today.

Good advice Gary.  By focusing on ONE thing at a time, we can concentrate our efforts with maximum impact.  I've been enjoying your journey.

Pam, I loved your quote from Wallace D. Wattles.  I hadn't heard of him until today. Amazingly, earlier today I got a New Year's gift from another member in the Rain, Esperanza Butler.  It is The Science of Getting Rich and can be downloaded and shared for no fee.

Mary, Thanks for stopping by and it is good to have you along on the journey. 

Gayle,  Thank you.  I will have to check out Good to Great.

Gary,

I like Wallace Wattles better than Napoleon Hill.  It will be fun to see what you think.  The Science of Getting  Rich is also available on tape or CDs for those who prefer listeinig. 

My all time favorite for this part of my life is Abraham-Hicks.  www.abraham-hicks.com/

I think his books are some of the best, and I've read them all and still have a couple on my bookshelf, including Think and Grow Rich.

Hey Gary, 

I've been away from the Rain for several weeks.  How's your cat?  She was improving the last time I checked in.  Hope you enjoyed a great holiday and are ready to ROCK in 2012!

Thanks for providing the link to this series. I have to visit your posts to get more inspriation to become richer -- not financially, but in the number of friends I make, the number of good deeds I fulfill, the number of times I make my loved ones happy, etc. That is the real meaning of RICH.

Hi Gary, Staying focused on a few things is always good, instead of being spread out too thin.  Yes how is Yasmine as Gary asked above?  Hopefully comfortable.
