PREAMBLE :
Normal text is summary of the book
In thick is my insight, experience, how to applicate and integrate

LET’S GO:
A thought is very powerfull when it combines a definite goal (richness,…) with perseverance and
desire.
Do I really want to do this project ? Am I ok to spend time, energy, money to lead it until
the end? What ist he cost and benefit of doing it?
When you are able to give all you have on a dice throw, you are sure to win because you are
firmly decided to gain it. Be sure you know what you want and persevere until your desire’s
realization.
Am I at that point so invested that I can go for an all in? Which are my limitation to give all
i have (fear, education, mental limitation, lack of confidence,….)?
Why do we fail ? Because we are discouraged, thinking at a definitive fail and we give up.
Success comes rarely first. We have to fail some times before. Failure is just a mask of our
achievement and is often nearer than we think. Example: Darby stopped to search for gold 3
feets near a huge amount of gold, another person asked for advices and continue founding the
nuggets.

Where is my gold ? Who has my gold ???

We all have had failures, which are the causes of it?
Why did I choose bad?
Ask you good questions, write it, learn from it, to not do it again.
You are divorced, is it the fault of your ex? Bullshit, you are responsible of it. Your
attitude, bad committment, actions lead to it. And at the end, it was your choice to be
with. Probably you gave less time, energy, loving care in that relation without seeing it.
To succeed, to make fortune, the beginning is an idea The more important is not work but a
good mindset with a definite goal.
Add an every day routine to stimulate your creativity, ability to think out of the box, find
new fool or futuristic ideas. Take 5 min per day to have a creativity moment.
Start your day with determination, go to bed with satisfaction.
Every morning, know why you are doing it, write your goals, be determinate to achieve it
day after day. Sometimes you will win only with your determination. In swimming, some
very good athletes as Michael Phelps already won the race in the waiting room. Other
competitors seeing his confidence are already unable to win against him because he
already knew that he will be the winner!
Consistency is the key, we are too often giving up too early
Know what you want and why you want it. The more you are continuing, the more you will
succeed.
