Do you believe you can “think and grow rich?” You can, if your thinking leads to changes in your behavior, so that you do all those things which wealthy people do. The key is action.

Unfortunately, thinking without action gets you nowhere. But how do you know what to do to get wealthy? You model success: this means modeling your behavior on what rich people do.

1. Who’s Doing What You Want to Do?

Start by thinking about the wealthy people you know. Who’s doing what you think you could do? Perhaps you know a small business person who’s developed his business to a million-dollar enterprise.

If you don’t personally know anyone, perhaps you’ve read the life stories of millionaires who inspire you.

2. How Are They Doing It?

Your aim is to find out exactly what rich people did to develop their wealth — what behaviors they adopted. You can then model (copy) those behaviors and get their results.

For example, in all cases, in your reading you’ll find that your millionaires had goals, and went after those goals, even if their goals seemed impossible. Often they had severe handicaps to overcome, and they took risks. However, they never gave up.

3. What Behaviors Will You Have to Adopt?

Make a list of behaviors of one successful person, or of several. Think about their behaviors, and how you might adopt them too. However, it’s important that you go slowly. Radical change usually doesn’t work. If you try to change all of your own behaviors overnight, you’ll fail.

4. Be Patient With Yourself: One Small Change at a Time

Now choose one behavior from your list that you will adopt over the next week.

Perhaps you choose goal setting. So make a list of your goals, and study the list several times a day. Create deadlines for your goals, and pick one primary goal that you could achieve in the next six months. Create tasks which will help you to achieve that single goal, and add them to your daily calendar. Now DO those tasks.

What you’ve just done is called chunking. You’ve taken a complex behavior, and chunked it down, going from the behavior of goal setting, to creating simple daily tasks you can do. You’ve modeled success.

When you model success, even imperfectly, you’re well on the way to wealth. Start modeling today.

Want to model the rich? Napoleon Hill’s 1937 bestseller, Think and Grow Rich, is the inspiration for Trance and Grow Rich, an audio program which teaches you the 13 steps to riches. Learn more at http://relaxrich.info/
