Its has been two weeks now since I started to try it. Yes, the techniques are simple, realistic, and factually scientific. I feel concluding that these are the missing links whenever humans fail to get what they want in life.

Honestly, I found them a bit weird and corny the first time I read and heard about it. But two weeks ago, until now, I believe whenever I want to go to “the level” and start to use the techniques, I just suddenly realize I’m already in it. I’m not quite sure yet about the results in terms of getting the things I want, but let’s see come early next week, as I’m expecting something BIG by then.

I wish others can share their thoughts and experiences about it as well.

A third check which I will issue everyday paid to myself. An amount I ought to collect daily. The amount is secret :)

By the way, I stumbled upon a book about Warren Buffet and Michael Masterson … I’m reading them both.

The highlights of Masterson’s Automatic Wealth: The Six Steps to Financial Independence:

Step 1. You’re going to face some hard facts. You are not going to get rich by saving 10 percent of your income every month. And you shouldn’t be so foolish as to count on your company’s pen- sion plan or the government to take care of you when you get older. It’s up to you.

Step 2. You’re going to plan to be rich. You can’t wish yourself to wealth, you have to plan for it . . . one detail at a time. I’ll show you not only how I did it but also what has worked for my friends and colleagues.

Step 3. You’re going to develop wealthy habits. The rich are dif- ferent from ordinary people, and it’s not just the money. There are specific behaviors that are likely to make you wealthier, just as there are specific behaviors that are likely to make you poorer.

Step 4. You’re going to increase your income—radically. Forget 3 per- cent or 4 percent raises. I’ll show you how to boost your income 25 percent to 150 percent. And that’s just for starters.

Step 5. You’re going to get richer automatically …even while you sleep. Getting rich is not just about increasing your income. The true secret to wealth is building equity. I’ll show you how to do it . . . without quitting your day job.

Step 6. You’re going to retire early (if you want to). I don’t believe in retiring. Not really. That’s because I like my work and wouldn’t enjoy life so much without it. But what you do in your retirement years, where you do it, and how many hours you work at it should be entirely up to you. I’ll show you how to
have that kind of control.

Yes, I simply wrote two checks. I got the check template from www.thesecret.tv. But it was not easy to get a pdf editor, though :)

After flexing my hacker muscles, I was able to register a pdf editor to write my own check, one worth PHP******.**, and the other worth $**********.**, each having its own valid date.

The first and smaller one is due the next month, while the larger check is due come 2010. The challenging part is really to bring about the realization of those checks, :) because honestly I do not have the slightest idea where any of those checks are coming from :D , let alone an indicator like a job offer, or any possible business deal, to which I can base even a guess of the possible source.

Almost a year ago I’ve done a similar thing, as I fell in love with N95 the first time I saw it in its site, unconsciously visiting the site regularly, as I was observed by my officemates. I silently said then, “I want to own an N95″. A few months later, I got a bargain of a brand new N95!

Another experience was just a month ago, when I felt I have to buy my wife a new laptop as she has to stay home for a few days to recuperate. I simply went to lenovo site a few times, and after a few days, I have a new laptop as a present for her. :)

And one last thing, a brand new Gold Master Card just came from one of my most admired local commercial banks. I feel so good after this bank has denied granting me even its classic master card a year ago. :) How it came about? Well, I guess I applied, and from time to time visualizing myself having it. ;)

Now about these two checks I just made for myself, I have the strangest feeling they will come about …

Think and Grow Rich

The last time I read it was about six months ago, technically I rather listened to it via mp3. Prior to that was in 1999 or 2000, then I actually read it. The most difficult part was to commit on to a few somethings in a list suggested by the book. Few times I failed to realize those which I listed, which brought me into a bit of depression, and eventual disregard of the book.

Now the excitement is coming back. Somehow feeling regretful of not continuing my pursuance in wealth accumulation. Why I continually let myself be dragged into the belief that the book isn’t true? Partly because my employments have been steadily supporting our living expenses and my compensation is gradually increasing without applying the principles in the book, made me complaisant in consciously putting much effort… causing me not to be as wealthy as I would like to be.

But it’s not late, as Napoleon Hill reiterated, simply follow the formula narrated in his book. And I am now, starting in opting to think positive thoughts, with appropriate feeling of realization, and gratitude towards God. I believe my wife and I could make a BIG BANG come 2010.

There are a lot of principles to be followed, but starting it right, with my thoughts, I believe would be a sure victory.

As the book tells us that we have to invest on a few actions to posses the wealth we want. Doing the things in a certain way really isn’t an easy stuff, entailing a conscious effort of changing one’s thoughts.

I am currently trying to walk the path of highly rich and successfu people, and see how will things work. One thing is sure, I’m definitey trying :) and changing my habits of thinking, and even avoiding words related to poverty, chaos, anxiety, and even pain.

Our home interiroAnother new and exciting things I am making myself interested in are the lifestyles of the wealthy persons, their possessions and how they do things. Interestingly, I believe I am feeling how they feel, possibly in choosing or deciding on things. Wow, at least! :)

Science Of Getting RichI am committing myself to be a fervent student of it beginning today. Just like being released from all fallacies and deceptions causing anyone to be deprived of wealth.

“It is not your part to guide or supervise the creative process; all you have to do with that is to retain your vision, stick to your purpose, and maintain your faith and gratitude.”

Billionaire

It is possible to be one, and working to achieve it is like investing in a business. The vivid pictures are already in place, and the Deutsche Bankthinking patterns are becoming clearer.

Being Wealthy

Looking at our past, given all the struggles, ups-and-downs, efforts that failed and those that succeeded … one thing is sure, I haven’t done much yet to achieve my first million pesos. Well, maybe I had already, cumulated in years, yes :) Sweeter if I have at least a million in a bank.

Alright, yes I do make significant amount per month, but I’m not even a millionaire yet, so, still failure is looming around. As the good mentors would say, no worries, at least I’m recognizing that I haven’t reached the mark yet, same things in the minds of athletes, we have to try, practice much until we reach our incremental goals. No need to demote our targets only because we’re getting impatient.

But wait, few moments do come, when we allow ourselves glide through whatever thoughts suddenly pop into our head, right? That if we’re too dumb or gullible we’ll be taken away towards the thoughts of failures, depressions, fears and anxieties. For me, that happens when I realize I’m starting to welcome the belief that I did everything already, thinking how many times I had read Napoleon Hill, Roberk Kiyosaki, Tim Sales and Anthony Robins.

Dead-serious? I believe I am, yet effort-wise, maybe short of about more than 50% yet to reach my own target.

Benny Greenberg, owner of yattitude.wordpress.com wrote “The 4-Step Plan to Success”, and again, an immediate reaction within me, “What again? A new success technique? … Let go, do your stuff, develop AJAX applications where you’re recognized and good at, earn so much from it, forget about venturing to other things you’re not much into or you’re starter at”.

Hhhhmmmm …  I have to work on my beliefs, positivity and leadership skills to be the best I can be.

In America, millions make you middle-class

Middle-class millionaires exhibit four qualities that “have a lot to do with why they are so successful and influential,” Lewis Schiff, who wrote the book with Russ Alan Prince, told Reuters.

– Hard work. They put in a 70-hour work week compared to 40 hours a week for other middle-class Americans.

– Networking. “They use information as if it were capital,” Schiff said.

– Perseverance. They typically fail professionally twice as often as other middle-class Americans, but they do not give up.

— Risk. They choose jobs with greater risks and bigger pay whereas middle-class Americans tend to avoid risk and try to work in jobs they love.

Some things worth giving some thoughts. :)
