Chapter 7 Organized Planning
Keep in mind these facts:—
First. You are engaged in an undertaking of major importance to you. To be sure of success,
you must have plans which are faultless.
Second. You must have the advantage of the experience, education, native ability and imagination
of other minds. This is in harmony with the methods followed by every person who has accumulated
a great fortune.
No individual has sufficient experience, education, native ability, and knowledge to insure the
accumulation of a great fortune, without the cooperation of other people. Every plan you adopt,
in your endeavor to accumulate wealth, should be the joint creation of yourself and every other
member of your “Master Mind” group.
You may originate your own plans, either in whole or in part, but SEE THAT THOSE PLANS ARE
CHECKED, AND APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF YOUR “MASTER MIND” ALLIANCE.
It should be encouraging to know that practically all the great fortunes began in the form of
compensation for personal services, or from the sale of IDEAS. What else, except ideas and
personal services, would one not possessed of property have to give in return for riches?
Broadly speaking, there are two types of people in the world. One type is known as LEADERS,
and the other as FOLLOWERS. Decide at the outset whether you intend to become a leader in
your chosen calling, or remain a follower.
The difference in compensation is vast. The follower cannot reasonably expect the compensation
to which a leader is entitled, although many followers make the mistake of expecting such pay.
HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED! That is just the point I am trying to emphasize. TIMES HAVE CHANGED!
Moreover, the change is reflected not merely in railroad offices and on street cars, but in other
walks of life as well. The “public-be-damned” policy is now passé. It has been supplanted by the
“we-are-obligingly-at-your-service, sir,” policy.

Organized Planning!
By Napoleon Hill,
The Greatest Forces Are Intangible!
Some people foolishly believe that only money can make
money. This is not true! Desire, transmuted into its
monetary equivalent, through the principles laid down
here, is the agency through which money is “made.”
Money, of itself, is nothing but inert matter. It cannot
move, think or talk, but it can “hear” when a man who
Desires it, calls it to come! (Napoleon Hill)
A friend of mine who cuts yards and does odd jobs for
people, he is real good at keeping old lawnmowers
running. About two weeks ago he came to me wanting
to buy a bran new zero lawnmower, I got the impression
he is 66 years old and tired of working on junk.
He ask me to cosign with him to buy a new zero turn
lawnmower, I said okay and we went to the dealer to get
financing, we filled out the paper work, I found out a few
days later we were unable to get financing because I had
blocked anybody from checking my credit, I had forgotten
I had done that.
I made a Decision to go to a local bank and get financing,
I unblocked my credit and we got approved for the price
of the lawnmower. This was on a Friday, we were told on
Monday we are still waiting on the paper work to come
through. On Wednesday I went back to the dealer finance
company who still had our documents when we applied
for financing and told the man I was talking with you can
check my credit now, a short time later the dealer told
me you are good to go, Kenneth picked up his bran new
lawnmower that afternoon they gave all the paper work to
him. Late on Thursday morning I get a call from the bank
telling me the paper work it is ready to go, I asked is the
check ready to go, she says yes, I told her she could tear it
up we went somewhere else.
Being part of this Master Mind I have come to realize we
all need Organized Planning in all areas of our Life.
Meaning Financial, Spiritual, Mental and Material estates.
“Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bottom line of a goal is to create a plan to accomplish it! Do what’s necessary to get closer to it. There is an old saying what you believe you will build and what you doubt you will delay. Cross whats done on your to do list. I talked with a top money earner at our company convention and make a list of activities that you are doing. And she mentioned once you crossed it off you will find that there is MORE you could do.
I have a busy schedule. I do NOT let that stop me. Like with everything else in life there are good days and bad days. I get over what I do not like to do. Because leaders do things whether they want to or not while the followers complain.
You either find a way or you find an excuse. NOT both.
For many years I have been watching as a follower the leaders in my own life. So many different styles of leadership at times leaving myself exceptionally emotional from the way which a person has dealt with the situation in someway.
My own leadership I have found is very different a number of these styles. I have worked to support those who need such often hearing comments like what do You expect me to do about that. Often it was learning the leaders unwillingness to understand or accept the situation which had arisen. At the same time I’ve had many times working with leaders who are the same.
They are often wanting results rather than being concerned about how it may impact the team or person. They will lead in poor ways saying get it dome in this time frame using fear. I’ve known many leaders who do such. The world is needing a new breed of leadership walking away from the fear based leaders now.
Leaders who recognise a person’s efforts no matter what may happen. They are supporting of a person no matter how they are rather than using language to get compliance. The type of leader who understands and accepts today’s climate rather than expecting a child to behave no matter what, Even when a parent is working with them to calm the situation.
Leaders who are unprepared to accept a person’s abilities even with emotional regulation will fall by the wayside for a leader who can accept and understand. A leader like myself who has the empathy and understanding to help those in their times of need rather than throwing them to the side.
The leader needs a plan to lead rather than knocking others or bad mouthing them. I am needing a plan to focus more on my physical health letting these false leaders go. In that way I know where I am going. The plan must contain ways to become healthier to improve my health. This includes going to gym for a swim 3 times a week, walks 2 times a week, Supplements, eating healthy, physio therapy, massage therapy. That is just some of the plan.
It must be including being strong enough to say no regularly to extra treats. Being committed to taking the supplements, going regular walks and gym. Being focused on those who have shown their commitment to their own health and dreams. Yes taking care of my own health is a huge investment in myself physically and financially in the end their will be amazing payouts.
It’s being focused on those who really want to change their health rrather than those who say want to letting everything get in the way. The committed leaders and team who show up no matter what.
Thank you so much to my amazing friends from mentioning for free for helping me learn to be a better leader. Thank you so much for your leadership in helping us all to grow Linda and Michael dlouhy. Thank you to my amazing mentor for life ken klemm for your own guidance, leadership and support. Thank you to my amazing wife Jenny for being the loving woman you are.
Your friend and mentor for life

Chapter 7 – Organized Planning – The crystallization of desire into action.
Crystallization is to cause something, such as an idea, belief, etc.
to become clear and fully formed.
God had a plan to create the heaven and the earth and everything in it.
He executed his plan one day at a time.
Day one He created the light which he called day and the darkness he
called night.
Day two He divided the waters. The waters above the firmament was heaven.
Day three He divided the waters below the firmament and called the land
earth and the waters He called seas.
Day four He brought forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit.
The fifth day God created lights in the heaven to divide the day
from night and to divide the light from darkness. They were to be
for signs, for seasons, and for days and years.
The sixth Day God created great whales, and every living creature that
moves in the waters and every winged fowl. He also created the
beasts of the earth, every living creature, cattle and creeping things,
and God created man in His image and man was to have dominion over
all that He had created.
The seventh day God rested from his work and blessed the seventh day and
set it apart as a day of rest for mankind.
God had a desire, He had a plan and it was very organized.
God did not create man first, or the beasts
first, or the whales or fish first because there would have been no food for them
to eat . He created land, food, and water before creating man or the creatures, so they would
have sustenance. He created light and divided the water to sustain the food before
he created the grass or fruit.
How long did God plan on the kinds of animals he would create? How
long did it take for God to imagine all the intricate details and colors
of each creature. How long did it take God to figure out how each species would
be of benefit to the other species and who would be food for who, and how would each
species reproduce themselves and God put into their brains the instincts they all have according
to their own kind.
God desired, planned and took action and because of this we are here today.
If we choose to desire, plan and take action, how much can we accomplish?

CHAPTER 7
ORGANIZED PLANNING
THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF DESIRE INTO ACTION
The Sixth Step toward Riches
Success begins with desire, which must be transformed into a concrete plan through imagination and practical steps.
Next, one needs to form a Mastermind Group of skilled individuals to brainstorm and solve problems collaboratively.
Offer valuable incentives to group members, which don’t always have to be monetary and meet at least twice a week to discuss and refine plans.
Maintain harmony within the group to ensure effectiveness and utilise the group’s collective experience to create a clear and practical plan to achieve your goals… Successful plans must be flawless.
Treat temporary defeats as opportunities to reassess plans, adapt, and keep trying until a solution is found.
A good leader understands their followers’ needs and takes responsibility for their team’s performance.
Successful leadership is built on cooperation and inspiring others to achieve their goals.
