myself. Therefore, after working out in the morning, I schedule one hour to
focus only on creativity. I turn off my cell phone, e-mail, and instant messag-
ing programs, and tell anyone who interrupts that I’m focusing on a creative
project and will get back to them in an hour.
Try this for 21 days, and see what happens.

Great Vision

Do what you love and the money will follow: Focus on being the best at
something and there will always be a market for your goods and services.
This lesson will help you see beyond the challenges and think big. Small
plans equal small motivations. People who create wealth are just like you,
with one exception—they have more clarity of vision, and they’re much more
excited about their future. Napoleon Hill, in his scholarly work, Think and

Grow Rich (New York, Random House, 2002) defines purpose: Knowing what

your final outcome is in advance, seeing the successful completion of your
objectives, and being confident about its successful completion. By being

secure in what you’re doing, and where you’re going, the inevitable trials and
tribulations along the way become manageable, and even exciting.
The theory of relativity wasn’t created on a blackboard; it was created
when Albert Einstein imagined himself on the tip of a beam of light traveling
through space. Walt Disney created the term “imagineering” to describe the
building of his dreams. Donald J. Trump doesn’t look at a piece of undevel-
oped land and see dirt; he sees a beautiful building or development, and peo-
ple in a bidding war for the privilege of owning a piece.
Great vision is the ability to see things before they happen. Millionaires
almost always speak in the future tense. They speak of the projects as if they
are already completed because, in their mind, they are. I call this process of
projection, entrepreneurial exaggeration . The entrepreneur isn’t lying, rather
believes with all their heart and soul that what they set out to accomplish is
already done. They are doing the very thing that is the foundation of all great
things; they are projecting forward. Show me someone who knows where he
or she is going, and I promise you—everyone will want to come along.

Plan Setting

What’s the difference between a person whose dreams remain just dreams
and someone who gets things done? Planning. I teach people in my seminars
