Do you believe in luck? Fate? Getting what you deserve? Then you are a fool. Not to mention broke. And weak. And stupid. You are a puppet in the hands of those who control you. You realize you could be more. You could be them. But you are not. Why? Easy. I always get what I want. There is exactly one reason why: I choose to.
The process is simple:
1. WANT IT
You will achieve nothing unless you want it. There is no such thing as "luck". Success is a choice. Desire is the will to succeed. Decision is the act of will. Vision is the secret to it all. A man who has no desire is nothing but a tool for those who do. When your heart is lit by the fire of your passion, your hands will warm the objects of your desire. When you know what you want, you become unstoppable. This is what separates the wolves from the flock. Winners choose. Losers snooze. There will always be someone willing to follow your will for what they lack in their own. Know that without your vision to guide them, they are blind. Use them to reach your preferred destination.
2. FIND IT
If you want it, someone else has it. Do not wait for them to find you. Make your desire known. Know your sources. Ensure you are top priority. Insist... if necessary. Seek a transaction. Make a deal. Name your terms. Do not wait to be asked. Beware of threats. Assimilate your competition. Failing that, eliminate it.
3. TAKE IT
Borrow, beg, cheat, lie and steal. Do whatever it takes. Use other people's money. Use other people. Never pay the asking price. Only a fool buys retail.
4. STEP FOUR IS UNNECESSARY
Library shelves sag under the weight of volumes others have written on the topic... Get rich schemes... Marketing pyramids... Referrals and rebates... All useless. Do not waste your time and resources. Forget the hackneyed snake charmers and babbling monkeys at their typewriters. Words are pointless filler. Only one idea matters. Only will matters. This is the only thing to get. Everything else is a footnote.
Now make sure you do not lose it.
5. NEVER COMPROMISE
Always get the better deal. Do not settle for less than the most. Manipulate, scheme, spin, twist, confabulate, delegate, confiscate, allocate... Never, ever compromise. Lie if you have to. Do not hesitate to eliminate those in your way. Enforce your will absolutely. If you do not, someone else will. Like me.
If you can do this, nothing can defeat you.
