How To Whip Up a Powerful Desire to Succeed

It takes two things to create a great success. It takes a dream, a brand spanking new dream that takes you out of the ordinary and places you firmly in a new, expanded and exalted world-- the world of your dreams. Dreams are important because human beings cannot advance unless they can dream. But dreams are only the beginning. Having a dream or vision is not enough.
You also need desire, a potent overwhelming desire that fires inspired action. Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich once said that desire is the starting point of all achievement. Many people have dreams, but fall short when it comes to summoning the strong desire you need to succeed. Laziness, procrastination, and the habit of staying in your comfort zone are the enemies of desire.
Think of it this way. Most people get accustomed to a certain level of calmness, orderliness, and predictability in their lives. After a while they can't envision themselves doing any thing else. They dream of doing extraordinary things, but are stopped by fear of stepping out of their ordinary day-to-day existence.
Bill Zanker, CEO and Founder of The Learning Annex, says," "If you want to make it big, you've got to push yourself beyond your limits. To create a powerful desire, you've got to pump yourself up and get yourself into a hyper mental state. And you have to do this yourself. Nobody can do this for you."
Bill Zanker used this technique when he took a huge leap of faith and tried to recruit Donald Trump to speak at The Learning Annex Real Estate and Wealth Expo. "After I decided that I wanted to play in the same arena as him I had to push myself to a new level. I pushed out my chest, and took a deep breath, and gathered all the energy I could muster. Then I called Donald Trump’s office and offered him $1,000,000 to speak for one hour at the Learning Annex even though the Learning Annex had never grossed more that $5 1/2 million in an entire year."
