A speaker breaks down how to turn wishes into real goals: set a deadline, focus your attention, and build burning desire so the goal consumes your thoughts. Napoleon Hill's concept of burning desire is the key to moving from wanting something to actually getting it.
I don't care if it's important to your spouse. I don't care if it's important to your kids. Is it important to you? Is it something that you desire to do? Is it something you want to do? And it got to be time sensitive. You got to put a date on that thing. Yo, God, he got a song called Put a Date on It. Like, yeah, I hear you. You saying you're going to do this and do that. Put a date on it. Because until you put a date on it, you just talking to me, man. Put a date on it. Imagine I say, yeah, I'm going to hook you up with a free coaching session. I'm going to coach you. I'm gonna speak life into you. I'm gonna get you right, but I never put a date on it. Put a date on the promises you make to yourself. All right, so you got to have a goal. You got to have a plan for achieving that goal, and you got to devote your attention. That's that second C, concentration. You got to concentrate on this goal. You got to concentrate on the plan, and you want to turn your goal— you want to turn this thing that you desire into a burning desire, as Napoleon Hill would say. It's not enough just to want it. You got to desire it. It got to be at the forethought of your mind. It got to be the thing that you wake up thinking about, the thing that you go to bed thinking about. And it got to amp you up. I'm the most motivational, inspirational person in the world. I inspire people all over the world using my voice and the content that I produce. And I'm excited about it. I'm passionate about it. It got to be something you desire. Somebody put desire in the comments. I don't want you to want it. I want you to have a burning desire for it. And let's talk about some of the advantages when you take the time to do this stuff.
