HOW TO RATE YOURSELF:

RATE YOURSELF FOR EACH A ANSWER $1,000

RATE YOURSELF FOR EACH B ANSWER $10,000

RATE YOURSELF FOR EACH C ANSWER $25,000

RATE YOURSELF FOR EACH D ANSWER $50,000

If you’ve rated over $1,000,000 on this test you are definitely Thinking Right towards being a millionaire. If you scored less than $1,000,000 look at each answer and weigh your own priorities. You can change them.

It’s a good idea to check out any slanted viewpoints you might have. Especially be wary about negativity regarding your mother or father.

It’s also important to take a look at your own self-image. Your selfimage is the result of your own thinking. If you want to change, admit the need for change and move on. This program will cause the changes needed in your own self-image. Now let’s look at your ability to follow instructions carefully.

CHAPTER 2

CAN YOU FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS?

It is vital to be totally responsible

and totally involved

in your personal life.

Without your personal involvement and personal direction — FATE wins, and life sucks. Can you be responsible enough to get totally involved with your life? When you get totally involved, you get everything you want in life.

Fear of change is the great restriction to many people. They don’t realize that to change means to grow and evolve. Are you responsible enough to your life to say: I must change, I will change, I am changing?

Give yourself the opportunities to change yourself. Again, I suggest that you follow our course profile that has worked for many, many people. Sure it involves a few tests, perhaps some charts for fun, and some pro-active positive positive thinking. Most of all learning to follow fairly simple instructions. If you can do this, you’ll soon be attracting positive opportunities to you.

Many of us who have attained success and prosperity, by the way, have difficulty in determining exactly what it was that made our attaining financial goals easy.

Undoubtedly there are many qualities of great, creative thinkers. There are many who seek wise men and women whose thought provokes them, but rarely do they ever find them. There must be one special quality, in addition to all others, that makes us succeed or fail as a creative thinker.

If you want to be a winner in the game of life you must follow your insight and intuition. These are certainly not the only ways to achieve, but they certainly are the easiest. From 23 years of of research into success-oriented people, I’ve discovered that winners listen to their inner voice of wisdom, not the babbling voice of fear. They tune it to their own higher selves, their own inner voice of guidance, inner strength and conviction.

Those who cannot hear the voice because of their uncontrolled babbling idiot voice running endless negative thought programs, drift aimlessly through life in a sea of fear and doubt. When the inner voice of wisdom and guidance is heard but not followed, winners begin to betray themselves and often become losers.

Of course winners have fears, doubts, and failures just like anyone else. In life, courage is the ability to be afraid — and to take appropriate actions despite the fear.

The difference between winners and losers is — winners go forth with confidence and conquer fears and doubts in the same way an army assault team conquer a country, with preparation, planning, and strength.

Winners use their insight and intuition as the foundation which holds them firm against any waves of resentment and resistance. Winners also arrange their personal lives so that the needs of the many are taken care of. Winners are very gentle, very strong, very confident, and completely unyielding (when required), and are always intuitively in-tune. Winners know personal fulfillment ... they are free....they soar with the eagles.

Another way is to learn how to win is to follow instructions that have proven effective for many while you create your own THINKRIGHT program. Still, the only test of winning abilities is the acid test, the real world.

Too many people fear the risk of testing in the real world, so first YOU begin testing yourself. Psychologists have found that by using creative self-testing you can determine your potential to win. We’ve designed the following test to determine how well you can follow instructions, exactly and without hesitancy. Take five minutes to test your abilities to follow directions. Time yourself.

The test that follows is a simple one that indicates your ability to follow instructions. Please take five minutes to take this short exam. Time yourself.

This is a timed test. Time yourself for exactly 5 minutes.
