The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:

　　First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)

　　Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

　　Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

　　Forth: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.

　　Fifth: write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

　　Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

　　It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph. You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

　　化渴望为财产的六大步骤

　　化渴望为财富的方式，包括了如下的六大实际步骤：

　　第一：牢记你所渴望金钱的“确实”数量。光是说：“我要良多钱。”这样子是不够的。对其额度要十分确定。(断定性之必要，有其心理学上的原因，随后的章节会加以阐明。)

　　第二：决议一下，你要“付出”什么以求报偿。(天底下是不“不劳而获”这种事的。

　　第三：设定你想“领有”所盼望金钱确实切日期。

　　第四：草拟实现渴望的确切规划，并且“即时”举动，不管你筹备妥善与否，都要将打算付诸实行。

　　第五：简略明了地写下你想取得的金钱数目，及失掉这笔 钱的时限。解释你盘算凭什么去获得这笔钱，并详加描写你累 聚这笔钱的方案。

　　第六：一天朗读两遍你写好的告白，凌晨起床时念一遍，晚上睡觉前念一遍。念的时候，要有如亲见目击个别，实际领会真正占有这笔钱时的感到。

　　遵行这六大步骤的指导是无比主要的。你有必要切实按照这六个段落的唆使，并奉行不渝。你可能会嘀咕，你又没有真正拥有这笔钱，要“目睹本人实际拥有这笔钱，” 仿佛不太可能。这就该是沸腾的渴望派上用处的时刻了。假如你真的热切 渴望要有钱，你的渴望会变成魂牵梦萦的急切希求，要让自己 有如置身其境也就轻而易举了。你的目的就是想要有钱，并且要坚韧不拔，动摇到你信任自己会拥有这笔钱的田地。
