Five Ways to Turn Desire into Gold

The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of five definite practical steps, viz:

First: Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want of money.” Be definite as to the amount. (there is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in subsequent pages.)

Second: Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as “something for nothing.”)

Third: Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth: Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth: Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read, see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
