“Thought backed by strong desire has a tendency to transmute itself into it’s physical equivalent”. Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

For some of us though, there is that issue of not being able to maintain our focus long enough to turn our thought or idea into its physical equivalent before another thought hits us and we’ve off chasing that dream for the time it takes before yet another thought hits us and we’re off chasing that as well.

I am abandoning the self-analysis questionnaire for a bit as I find that the questions are not geared so much to inspiring as they are to, well, as they state, self-analysis for personal inventory. I believe it is important to address the points raised in the questionnaire, but I don’t think this is the best time for me to be focussing on what I’ve done or haven’t done and how it has affected where I am in business at present, mainly because I am at the beginning of starting over and there isn’t much to analyze by way of performance, interrelations and so on.

At this stage what I need is to get inspired and stay inspired, to work on the issues of my indecision, fears and all the other shortcomings and traits I possess that directly or indirectly affect my ability to achieve my goals of success.

The question I ask myself today is, do I even know what I want? As far as achieving success in business, do I have a concrete plan for how I expect to do that? In other words can I say that I want to acheive success in business doing X or is it more like, I want to acheive success in business but I don’t have anything specific planned for how I am going to do that.

Considering the number of different projects I have running simultaneously, it would seem to be the case that I don’t have anything specific planned, that I am just trying different things and divvying up my energy into each project so that I am not giving 100% of myself to anything.

I know what I want in terms of the fruits of labor; the ability to afford a better quality of life, the big house, the Bentley with a personal chauffeur to drive me around in it. But as far as having a firm idea of what seed to plant and tend in the hope of growing my miracle money tree, I can’t say that I really have a clue. I am just experimenting; and perhaps that is where the problem lies. There is no profit to be made from a business that is focussed entirely on experimenting with business ideas. Yes, some of my experiments have yielded a little bit of money; but for the most part I have been putting a great deal of time and energy into things out of which I have gotten nothing much to speak of. What I need is to make a decision about what I want as far as business goes. I need to firmly and concretely establish the nature of my business and from there plan a course of action for achieving my financial goals.
