I believe that intention is one of the most important differences between a very successful person and an average person.  I have on a number of occasions asked successful people “What’s the secret to your success?”  Inevitable they will reply “Hard work”.  While I’m sure they do indeed work hard, I know plenty of other people who work hard, but don’t have a ‘summer home’ on the beach in Rhode Island.  Clearly there is more involved than hard work.  I think it’s intention, that is the intention behind the hard work.  Successful people intend certain results when they work hard.  When Oprah works hard she intends to have more at the end of the week than $25 and hour plus overtime.  When Steve Jobs or Bill Gates work hard they intend to make a lot of money, and they usually do.

It is so easy to get caught up in our every day routine, and we often don’t think about what our intention is or the repercussions of those intentions.  A lot of people say they would like to be successful, but they fail to think about what really is necessary to achieve that success.  The work needed to bring home $750 a week is not the same kind of work needed to bring home $7500 per week.  You may work the same number of hours, you may even work harder than someone making ten times more than you, but if it’s not the ‘right kind’ of work you’ll never make a lot of money.  So what do you do to make money?

First you must set your intentions on what you want.  Wishful thinking is not the same as intention.  There is certainty behind intention.  There is faith behind intention, there is conviction as well.  So if you want to make $$7500 a week, you must fully intend to make it.  This intention will lead you to ask yourself some questions.  The first question will probably be “What can I do to make $7500 a week?”  ”How can I get the necessary training?” Or, “How can I meet the right people?”  When you ask enough of the right questions, and then get the right answers, you will have a road map to the fulfillment of your goal.  All you have to do now is break your goal down into small steps that you can accomplish in one day.  Commit to yourself that you will take at least one of these steps everyday and in time you will find yourself looking right in the face all you every wanted.  

It is critical that you always know what it is you’re trying to do with each and every step.  When you know clearly what the intention is behind your efforts, you can evaluate whether those efforts are effective or not.  If they are not, then make an adjustment, and keep on adjusting until you see the desired results.  I know this sounds very simplistic, but that is why many people don’t act.  They believe the key to success has to be difficult or complicated, or even mystical.  Success is simple…yes you have to work hard, but you must have the appropriate intention to guide your efforts.  Then tweak until you hit the target.  It’s not easy…but it is simple.  I believe you have it in you, to accomplish whatever you REALLY want to…so go get it!!!
