Money-Making Habit #8 Magnetize Yourself To A
                         Program of Progress.

       Ineptitude rivets your expectations to the floor.

       	 Your early programming directs your life and controls the quality of your results.
       It is a powerful force in your life. Make no impact on everything you think and do.
       	 We are creatures of learned habits! It was Van de Wall who said,

                   You have learned NOTHING,

       until you have a new PERMANENT change in results.

                                                                             Val Van de Wall

 is a                             Strategy 1-18:
great
 day        Start your day with a quiet time.

       	 The process of change is often slow and tedious. One of the things that has
       worked well for me is the practice of a daily quiet time. I start most of my mornings
       reading, meditating or listening to something inspirational on tape. I’m currently
       listening to a series by Dr. John Maxwell from Injoy Club. He’s a powerful Christian
       communicator, and he gets me to focus on the spiritual side of life every morning. It’s a
       great way to alter the programming with which I grew up. Some people start the day by
       reading the newspaper or listening to TV reporters. What a dangerous thing to do.

             	 It was James Allen who said, “People are anxious to improve their
             circumstances, but unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.” The
             most awake people I know are always the best students. They are the ones listening to
             tapes, reading, and working on improving themselves.
             	 The other morning I read this,

             	 “In every era, including our own, people have tended to believe that the days of
             great wealth-gathering opportunity are over. The era just past has almost always looked
             better.” *
