Summary
Of Book:
There are three resources - time, money and opportunities that we want to be successful in life and be wealthy and everyone thinks these resources are never at their side. But what if someone told you that you can create these resources by yourself and there is inexhaustible amount of them waiting for you if you think in a right way.
In
this book author have discussed six principles if applied correctly in your day
to day life will change yourself and achieve your wealth goals:
1.
Competitive to creative mind:
You may have seen if to person are in same
type of business but their earning from them is very different. Why? As the
author said if you are doing a business and
your neighbour shop is in the same business then rather than providing negative
reviews about his product to customer you should be more focused on providing
new facilities or solving their problems related to that service or product. If
you will do this that customer will tell about your good services and help that
you have provided whole heartedly and hence will advertise your shop for free. So,
you should put competition aside and put more focus on services by asking them
for feedback and listening and solving their problem.
2.
Gratitude:
I would like to tell you a story of a school going child Alex. His school was nearby his house so he used to go school by walking. One day after school he went to washroom and as every child and staff were out of school so watchman put a lock to every classroom and washroom for security purpose. Security guy missed to look if anyone was inside washroom and locked the gate but after sometime he returned after searching all classrooms and washrooms and unlocked Alex. When Alex reached home he told what happed in school, after listening to this her mother had a meeting with school principal. Principal called that watchman and asked how you came to know someone was locked inside washroom in a way of doubting that he must have done something, but he replied every children come to school and wish me good morning and good evening when they leave for home but Alex is the only child who take care of him very much by asking if he had lunch or not and many things like that. On that day in morning Alex wished him and have a quick talk with him but not in afternoon when he use to leave for his home, because of this watchman thought he might be inside school and started searching for Alex. As depicted by author we should always thank and appreciate others.
3.
Thinking in a certain way:
As author says you should have to be clear
what is goal and having a purpose with faith which will help you to understand
that what you are trying to achieve is already yours and you have to just
receive it. To become rich you will have to use your will power and your
imagination which will help you think positively and take quick and right
actions.
4.
Value:
Suppose you have a painting and you sold that
panting to an eskimo using my selling techniques but that painting is of no use
for him as it will not add any value to his life and it is of no use to him. Rather
than selling a painting you should have sold him a gun which will be valuable
for him to hunt and feed himself and his family. By this story author want to
convey whatever business we are doing we should value our customers even at low
margine of profit as it will make you profitable in long-term.
5.
Acting in a certain way:
As per the author you have to make a clear and
definite picture of your goal and do what you have decided in above four points.
You have to take action to accomplish your goal if you have given so many time
to make strategies how you can achieve you goal then you should follow that
strategy.
6.
Efficient actions:
We usually do our work inefficiently because
we are busy doing multitasking. Rich people distribute their work and do only
important work, this can be developed by you and try to do one thing at a time
with full effort.
