What do you desire? What do you dream about having, becoming, experiencing? What is it that you want more than anything? Most people can come up with a list of things they would like to have more of: money, a new house, new friends, supportive colleagues, or time off.

All of us, at some point or another, also list over-arching goals that we would like to achieve: become a millionaire, get published, open a new business, run a marathon. I call desires that are not crystal clear your “wish list”. Whether you carry your wish lists in your pocket, your briefcase, or in a tiny corner of your heart, what you desire will come easily when you get clarity. Then it becomes a desire.

The people you admire, the successful, wealthy, joyful people whom you set on a pedestal have desires. The difference is, they are able to obtain what they desire, and they do that by first getting very specific about what they want. Even if disaster strikes these people and they seem to lose things for a moment, have you ever noticed they always rebound to even greater heights of achievement?

When you learn to apply these proven principles to your life, it’s like a roadmap or a recipe, follow it and what you would like to create in your life becomes easier and more attainable. To use this first universal success principle, clarify your own wish list so that you know exactly what you want, and then commit to that desire.

Get it down on paper, every last detail. Design and refine your desire until it is crystal clear. Feeling excited, but also a bit nervous? Good. You’re on the right track!

“Desire is the Starting Point of All Achievement”

– Napoleon Hill

This quote says it perfectly, desire is the foundation upon which all your success is built. There is the desire to move away from the things you do not want and the desire to move towards the things you do want, when you approach from both sides of the coin, you’ll attain a burning desire to create your products and create your successful online business.
