Chapter 7
Organized Planning: The Crystallization of Desire
into Action

The Sixth Step toward Riches
You have learned that everything man creates or acquires, begins in the form of
DESIRE, that desire is taken on the first lap of its journey, from the abstract to the
concrete, into the workshop of the IMAGINATION, where PLANS for its transi-
tion are created and organized.
In Chapter two, you were instructed to take six definite, practical steps, as your
first move in translating the desire for money into its monetary equivalent. One
of these steps is the formation of a DEFINITE, practical plan, or plans, through
which this transformation may be made. You will now be instructed how to build
plans which will be practical, viz:-
(a) Ally yourself with a group of as many people as you may need for the crea-
tion, and carrying out of your plan, or plans for the accumulation of money-mak-
ing use of the "Master Mind" principle described in a later chapter. (Compliance
with this instruction is absolutely essential. Do not neglect it.)
(b) Before forming your "Master Mind" alliance, decide what advantages, and
benefits, you may offer the individual embers of your group, in return for their
cooperation. No one will work indefinitely without some form of compensation.
No intelligent person will either request or expect another to work without ad-
equate compensation, although this may not always be in the form of money.
