Dear Michael -

There are two kinds of knowledge: General and Specialized.
Knowledge is only potential power. It ONLY becomes powerful
when it is organized into precise plans of action and directed to
a clearly defined end.

Being educated alone has little use in the accumulation of money.
A educated person must develop from WITHIN. A person who
has developed this ability of the mind, whether natural or acquired for a
particular kind of action: has the power to achieve ANYTHING they want.
That is POWER.

Success: as Ford demonstrated is not a sole project. It needs to be shared,
you need to work with a team that shares the same dream.

A team is part of my lever.

It makes success quicker and easier. People working together can accomplish
far more than working separately. Associating with like-minded, success oriented,
joyful individuals is the most amazing success tool that exists for me. I cannot
achieve success without my dream team. Attitude is critical, it can make or break
success. I must avoid negative influences at all cost. My Master Mind Group
makes me strong where I am weak.

This has given me hope and encouragement to fuel on
my ambition to accumulate a fortune.

I am focused and committed. I have my major purpose in life, the goal toward
which I am working. As I acquired the knowledge, it had to be organized and
put to use, for a definite purpose through practical plans. The VALUE comes
from applying it toward a worthy end. I think FROM my goals now, not OF my goals.
My self image conforms to the images in my mind.

I have reached the point where I feel sure of my ability to transmute DESIRE into money.
I have at my disposal the skills training and the specialized knowledge of the profession
I intend to offer in return for fortune. Be, Do, Have.

Anything acquired without effort or cost is GENERALLY unappreciated.
The key is SELF DISCIPLINE one receives from a definite program of specialized
knowledge. The discipline of DECISION, PROMPTNESS, ACTION and HABIT
of finishing that which I begin. There is no remedy for lack of ambition.

Ideas, imagination, aim high, form the habit of observing others success,
see opportunity and embrace it without hesitation. NEVER mistake temporary
defeat for failure.

I refuse to compromise with life and accept what I do not want. We can all rise
to heights of success because of conditions we can control if we desire to control them.
An asset is close association with THOSE who refuse to compromise with circumstances
THEY were unwilling to accept.

The back of all IDEAS is specialized knowledge. Capability means IMAGINATION
the one quality to combine specialized knowledge with IDEAS, in the form of
ACTION, ORGANIZED PLANS designed to yield riches. The IDEA is the main thing.

I imagine the best, I see myself succeeding.
I have the three key parts of myself aligned:
Desire - I want it.
Belief - I will do it.
Self Acceptance - I deserve it.

My energy is longer ineffective.
My Heart, Mind and Spirit all systems go.

Your words, Michael - I Believe in You
gave me the courage to believe in myself.

Michael, Linda and everyone in this
Master Mind Group I do not have words to express my
gratitude, just know it is there in my heart.

Your friend for life
