There are four simple steps that lead to the habit of persistence. They call for no great amount of intelligence, no particular level of education and but little time or effort. The necessary steps are: 1. A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY A BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS FULFILMENT. 2. A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION. 3. A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances. 4. A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH PLAN AND PURPOSE.
