For you to get this prosperity concept into high gear, you must be specific -exactly how much money do you want? Remember, you are working with your subconscious mind and the subconscious does not think. It merely accepts images and then moves them into form. So for you to say, I want "lotsa money" isn't good enough, because no one, least of all the subconscious mind, know how much "lotsa" is.
I strongly recommended that you get very serious about this chapter, because the idea it contains could literally change your life. But understand that thinking, by itself, is not enough -you must move into action. There are certain things you must do and the first one is to decide how much money you want. For you to answer this question, it would probably be a good idea for you to decide what you want the money for. But to simply say, "I want the money to live on," is not good enough. You should realize that our society structured in such a way that the government will keep you. In fact, in the most places, they will even mail a check to you -you can sit at home and still receive a living wage.
At this point you are probably saying to yourself, "Oh yes, I know that, but I want to live better than that." Well, let's get specific how much better? Bearing in mind that this kind of an exercise is going to required some serious planning on your part, get out a sheet of paper and draw up a list of all the things or activities, that you plan to spend money on over the course of the next year. To assist you in getting started with your list, I have outlined several sample categories below:
Food, Rent/Mortgage, Clothes, Automobile, Utilities, Education, Vacations, Recreations, Insurance, Savings.
Understandably, these are just a few of the many possibilities; so keep working on your own list until it is complete. And remember, you do not fill in the amounts you are now spending. Rather, you take each item on the list, visualize how you want to live and then fill in the amount of money it will cost you to do so. For example, you might only go out to a nice restaurant to dine on a very special occasions, but you might visualize yourself spending a very enjoyable evening out dinner once a week, where the service is excellent, the food is even better, and the environment is fit for royalty. How much would that cost? That is the figure you're looking for.
You should be driving a car that is getting old and is showing signs of rust, but you must visualize yourself driving a brand new car of your choice, that you trade every year or two. How much would that cost? Remember, you do not have a contract to live forever, nor is this a practice run -this is your life and you should enjoy it to the fullest extent humanly possible! Therefore, you should have the amount of money you need, to provide the things you want, to live the way you choose to live.
Let me caution you -it would not be unusual for your mind to be playing tricks on you at this point. You could be thinking, "This is really crazy. I'm never going to have the money to live the way this article suggests." I want to remind you, however, that there are many people who do have enough money to live the way this article suggest -and they weren't born with it- and no one left it to them. They were Born to Rich in the sense of having the God giving potential to succeed (everyone is), but like most people, they were at one time short of money. Understand that you too can succeed, and you will, if you will only do as this article suggests.
As I am writing this article, I feel compelled to digress for a few lines, to remind you that you have a great resources of talent and ability locked up, within you, just waiting to be expressed. In this vein, I can vividly recall listening to a tape a number of years ago, that Earl Nightingale made on Attitude. I must have listened to the tape literally hundreds of times and there was a part on it where he said, "Now, right here we come to a rather strange fact. We tend to minimize the things we can do, the goals we can reach, and yet, for some equally strange reason, we think others can do things that we cannot." Earl went on to say, "I want you to know that that is not true. You do have deep reservoirs of talent and ability within you, and you can have the things you want."
I wouldn't even want to speculate on how many times I heard that section, without really understanding what he meant; and then one day I heard it, and every cell in my brain seemed to resonated with the truth of what he said. I suddenly realize what he was driving at and I knew deep down inside of me, if they can do it, so can I, if I am willing to pay the price. Please understand you too can do it, because what Earl had to say is as true of you as it was of me. But part of the price for you, is to figure out .....
How Much Is Enough?
Don't just pull a figure out of the sky. Do it right -because when you're finished you will be glad you did. Moreover, this exercise will also help you to develop a more discipline mind. At this point you might be thinking this section doesn't even concern you, because you are already too deeply in debt to start accumulating a size able amount of money. But you will be happy to know, we have a great idea which will help you deal with that problem as well. Furthermore, you will be delighted to know that in many situations-and yours may be one of them- a person can become wealthy, even if he or she never earns any more money than they are earning currently. That thought alone should give you the encouragement you need to continue reading.
By now you should have completed your list and arrived at a figure; so take pen to a paper and write that number down in big bold figures. Now, clear your mind of that idea and move on with me to another very important idea. Realize that although this idea might no apply specially to you -at least at the present time- it certainly will apply to many readers. Moreover, even if it does not apply to your particular situation, it is worth thinking through anyway, because you certainly have many friends and associates it does apply and you will be able to share it with them.
I am going to explain this idea to you as if you were a married person with a family to support and you are either the sole breadwinner or an important contributor.
Now one of the principal reasons for wanting the amount of money you desire is to provide for your family, and not just in an adequate manner. After all, you want them to live life to its fullest. Realize, therefore, that as long as you live and are able to follow the plan outlined in this article, you will be able to do as you want with respect to your family. However, if you really stop and think about it, you will very likely agree that you would want your family to live the good life, even if you were suddenly removed from the picture-wouldn't you? Jokingly you might say, "No, who cares if I'm gone." But this is not a joking matter. This is a very serious matter. Of course you care-I know it and so do you!
Now, if you're alive and healthy, you will create this wealth for your estate. But what if you die or are permanently disabled? Well, our society has taken care of that situation as well; we have Life Insurance and we have Disability Insurance.
But, let's get back to your thinking again-you might be saying to yourself, Life Insurance, what a rip-off. This guy Bob Proctor really doesn't know where he is coming from. Therefore, I can assure you that when I say approximately 95% of the people whom you talk to are almost completely ignorant when it comes to the subject of insurance, I am not talking through my hat. Granted, many of these people hold important positions in business and industry, in government, or in the profession, and because of their positions, it would be very easy to just assume they know of whence they speak. But the sad fact of the matter is, many of them are either badly misinformed or completely uninformed when it comes to the important subject of life insurance.
Understand this - there is no way to replace your income and create a certain and instant estate other than life insurance; and statistic indicated that although most people are insured, the vast majority of people (at least 90%) are dangerously under-insured. That is to say, when they die, most people leave behind only enough money to cover their family's living expanses for one year! The unfortunate part is, that is for relatively small sum of money, these people could have had their financial affairs set up in such a way that if something did happen to them, their financial goals would be reached by their families automatically.
Bloom Were You Are Planted-Start Now
When do you start to live this good life? Is that the question you are beginning to ask yourself? You start now.
Start by answering the following question:
A Part of All You Earn Is Yours To Keep
If you think about it, you must admit this law, or principle, makes a lot of good sense. Therefore, let me repeat it "A part of all you earn is your to keep!" More specially, what you earn Monday morning is yours to keep, so it should go directly into a special account that you do not have easy access to.
Your Financial Independence Account
What you earn on Monday morning probably represents ten percent of you income. Therefore, you should pay yourself at least that ten percent, right off the top (i.e, not after everyone else has been paid).
From your Financial Independence Account, you first pay your insurance premium, because that instrument creates your Instant Estate. The remainder of the money then goes into savings, until such time as you have accumulated enough capital to make a wise investment. Remember, you do not touch this account or the interest it will yield. Therefore, within a very short period of time, you will witness sufficient progress to gain the motivation and inspiration which you need to continue. Moreover, the knowledge that you have an Instant Estate, if anything should happen to you, will you give additional serenity of mind.
Orderly Debt Repayment Program
You could already have debts that seem to be eating up your entire paycheck, leaving nothing for yourself. But understand this-these debts can be retired. (Although the amount of debt you have incurred will, of course, determine the length of time it will take you to clear the state.) And , for the purposes of the following discussion, you must consider your mortgage or house payment (probably one of your largest monthly payments), as an invest, NOT a debt.
I strongly recommended that you get very serious about this chapter, because the idea it contains could literally change your life. But understand that thinking, by itself, is not enough -you must move into action. There are certain things you must do and the first one is to decide how much money you want.

When do you start to live this good life? Is that the question you are beginning to ask yourself? You start now.
Start by answering the following question:
- How often do you pay your phone bill?
- How often do you pay your rent or mortgage?
- How often do you pay your grocery store?
- How often do you pay for gas for your car?
