Default Brian Kim's "natural way" of being successful

Brian Kim wrote that there is a natural way of being successful, that is, not artificially pumping up yourself and reading success how-to guides.

But he does not reveal this for free and wants people to buy the book. I wouldn't like to spend any money on it, so does anybody know if the book's worth buying?

My guess is that the natural way would be to thinking of what you want and when you have a great desire for success, your mind will naturally organize itself, naturally brainstorm, and therefore achieve success.

Are you talking about the hidden secret in think and grow rich?

If you are, then what it talks about is having a burning desire to achieve one definite purpose. Then you don't need fancy tricks or tips, because those are merely toys, when you have a burning desire ten times hotter than the sun (Brains term, not mine) then things come naturally.

It's something like having a burning desire of ONE DEFINITE purpose, taking consistent action towards the burning desire and keep going until you get there, while staying consistent all the way.

I've read alot of books which contain less than one simple truth! That's the art of writing!

This is pretty much the four step formula.

Step 1: Have a burning desire to accomplish one major definite purpose.

1. It all begins with a BURNING DESIRE to accomplish ONE MAJOR DEFINITE
PURPOSE.
2. Select ONE MAJOR PURPOSE.
3. Make it DEFINITE.
4. Make the DECISION to accomplish your ONE MAJOR DEFINTE PURPOSE.
5. Grow your desire into a raging fire that’s 10 times hotter than the sun.

Step 2: Have faith that you will succeed.
1. Faith is secondary to desire.
2. Desire + Faith initiates primary planning and action.
3. Faith will influence primary plans and actions
4. Faith will organize the correct secondary plans and actions.
5. Make the DECISION that you will succeed in accomplishing your one major
definite purpose.
6. Strengthen your faith.

Step 3: Organize a definite plan and take action.
1. Organizing a definite plan and taking action will become natural.
2. Specialized knowledge will be a natural byproduct of your plans and actions.
3. Your primary plans and actions will be influenced by your faith.
4. Your secondary plans and actions will come AFTER you’ve initiated your
primary plans and actions.
5. Effectively organize your plans and take action.

Step 4: Never give up until you achieve your one major definite purpose.
1. Persistence is a natural byproduct of implementing the first three steps.
2. Persistence is REQUIRED and truly SERVES YOU.


How does he expand it? By first going over the book and quoting it, to point out that these are the four hidden steps in the book, then by explaining what is meant by it and how to do it.

For example the purpose has to be Major and definite to you, he gives examples of what is definite and what is not.

Organizing a definate plan is probably one of the most valuable things you can do to get you closer to your goal. Once the plan is in place, you don't have to worry about what the next step is, you just take action.

That's precisely it. Of course, this presupposes that you CAN know what you want, and have desire for it.

Unfortunately, most people these days are stuck in negative states that prevent all of those things from occurring. Some authors (like Robert Fritz) actually write about the dichotomy between the states in which natural success is either possible or impossible, but hardly anybody writes about what to DO about it.
