I can't read past the fourth chapter on this book. Its so much fluff. That whole law of secret was based on this. Why are people raving about it so much? Looking in the mirror, saying affirmations does not make you rich.
True that. The book is the embodiment of the phrase "necessary but not sufficient".
Yes, all successful people had some sort of vision. So have millions of poor people who never try, and millions of people who have tried to become successful but failed. Success requires more than "just" a strong desire.
There's no magic power that'll ensure your success. For all I know, I can work 20 years on my vision and get hit by a car before I complete it. Uncertainty is a part of business. Deal with it or quit.
Ironically, some of the popular motivational stuff, e.g., "The Strangest Secret" was originally written to keep salespeople selling overpriced/bad products (Amway, Holiday Magic) from quitting, not because of some miraculous scientific discovery. Decide for yourselves whether that's something you want to spend time with or not.
