Burning desire and a definite purpose
For Napoleon Hill, everything starts with a burning desire: a longing so intense it becomes an obsession. A mere wish is not enough. You must set a precise goal, with a number and a date, then decide what you are willing to give in exchange.
Hill proposes a six-step method: determine the exact amount you are aiming for, set a deadline, define what you will give in return, build a plan and apply it without delay, write it all down and read this statement aloud twice a day, on waking and before sleep.
This precision turns a vague dream into a measurable target: your mind knows exactly what to look for and mobilizes your resources in a single direction.

A goal with a number and a date, reread every day, is worth a thousand vague wishes.
