Since the Fistful of Dollars commenting competition started, I have had a few “How To” questions. I have addressed one already via video and will keep doing it in this fashion to help out my blog readers who may be beginners or perhaps not as “seasoned” with social media and blogs. Another query I have had via the Sean Rasmussen Talks Facebook page is this:
How Do I Subscribe To Comments?
How can you subscribe to comments via email? This means you will receive an email notification from SeanRasmussen.com every time there has been a reply/response to a thread you have subscribed to. I have explained it in this video below.
I will post more video’s to help you along with the $1,000 competition so you too can get hold of a Fistful Of Dollars.
Don’t forget to leave a message on SeanRasmussenTalks after you comment.
Although the effects of the last lessons were cast wide over an entire nation of people, and also over the entire world in years to come, the power behind that decision-making process and definiteness of action was largely individual. That same individuality is what is going to make you successful in your journey to create wealth.
Personal Benefits Of Power
Note, also, (with great personal benefit), that the power which gave this nation its freedom, is the very same power that must be used by every individual who becomes self-determining. This power is made up of the principles described in this book. It will not be difficult to detect, in the story of the Declaration of Independence, at least six of these principles: desire, decision, faith, persistence, the Master Mind, and Organized Planning.
Throughout this philosophy you will find the suggestion that thought, backed by strong desire, has a tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent. Before moving on, Mr. Hill leaves you with the suggestion that it is possible to find in this story, and in the story of the organization of the United States Steel Corporation, a perfect description of the method by which thought makes this astounding transformation.
The Search For The Secret
In your search for the secret of the method, don’t look for a miracle, because you will not find it. You will find only the eternal laws of Nature. These laws are available to every person who has the faith and the courage to use them. They may be used to bring freedom to a nation, or to accumulate wealth. There is no cost except the time necessary to understand and appropriate them.
Those who reach decisions promptly and definitely know what they want, and generally get it. The leaders in every walk of life decide quickly, and firmly. That is the major reason why they are leaders. The world has the habit of making room for the person whose words and actions show that he or she knows where he or she is going.
Know Where You Are Going
Definiteness of purpose and decision—those are the lessons Napoleon Hill wants us to take away here. When you think through your goals and plans, know where you are going and decide to take the steps forward to get there, you are an unstoppable force in the event of your life. Be the leader that knows where your life is heading—and enjoy the ride!
Imagine this showdown: Chuck Norris vs Clint Eastwood. Who would win? They are both seemingly undefeatable. Although Clint Eastwood’s character gets killed in some of his movies, Chuck Norris seems to have that bullet proof vest and immortality mantra that lets him beat anyone – except Bruce Lee of course. However it was Bruce Lee’s [...]

The most momentous of occasions had their start in a single momentous decision. This is the course of our lessons from Napoleon Hill most recently.
When In The Course…
The document was drawn, and on June 28, the original draft was read before the Congress. For several days it was discussed, altered, and made ready. On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson stood before the Assembly, and fearlessly read the most momentous decision ever placed on paper.

Tomorrow I head east for the next Adelaide Internet Marketing session. I’m really looking forward to this one, especially because I’m bringing my wife along and get to catch up with many of my YOTA Forum clients on Saturday night. There is nothing quite like a few quiet drinks in a piano bar amongst good [...]
The next selection from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich teaches us something about maximising the opportunities that we create through our dedicated decision-making processes. This lesson comes also from those characters of the American Revolution.
Maximum Opportunity
Before the first meeting of the new Congress, another leader, in a different section of the country, was deep in the process of publishing a “Summary View of the Rights of British America.” He was Thomas Jefferson, of the Province of Virginia, whose relationship to Lord Dunmore, (representative of the Crown in Virginia), was as strained as that of Hancock and Adams with their Governor.
To recap, when we last left Napoleon Hill he was imparting to us some important lessons from U.S. history and some historical figures who were, and still are, of unquestionable character.
Uncharacteristic Loyalty
There seems to be no need for commenting on the character of this man. It must be obvious to all who read this astounding message that its sender possessed loyalty of the highest order. This is important.
When Governor Gage received Adams’ caustic reply, he flew into a rage, and issued a proclamation which read, “I do, hereby, in his majesty’s name, offer and promise his most gracious pardon to all persons who shall forthwith lay down their arms, and return to the duties of peaceable subjects, excepting only from the benefit of such pardon, Samuel Adams and John Hancock, whose offences are of too flagitious a nature to admit of any other consideration but that of condign punishment.”
History lives on, on both sides of the ocean. The birth of America was not an overnight sensation, as Napoleon Hill continues to illustrate here.
More Historical Materminding
Meanwhile, the British were not idle. They, too, were doing some planning and “Master-Minding” on their own account, with the advantage of having money to back them and organized soldiery.
The Crown appointed Gage to supplant Hutchinson as the Governor of Massachusetts. One of the new Governor’s first acts was to send a messenger to call on Samuel Adams, for the purpose of endeavoring to stop his opposition—by fear.
