In fact, there is an amazing exercise that you can practice now to improve your concentration. This blog post teaches you how to develop laser focus.

And this exercise will help you to achieve your goals much faster. By improving your concentration, you can manifest what you want in your life.

Laser focused manifestation

Think about something that you want to manifest. If you could be laser focused, then all distractions would fade into the background of your mind. You could manifest much faster than normal.

But the main reason laser focused manifestation doesn’t happen is because of distractions. Thoughts distract you and it takes much longer to achieve the desired outcome.

If only you could learn the principles of success from a real expert. Somebody who could manifest effortlessly.

Andrew Carnegie and the mind

Andrew Carnegie was famous for being the wealthiest man in the world. He was born in Dunfermline in Scotland in 1835.

He moved to the United States of America, where he built the Carnegie Steel Company in 1892.

Andrew Carnegie and the Secret

Carnegie was also world renowned for his philosophy on achieving success which was the basis for the book “Think and Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. Think and grow rich was first published in 1937 and was not a typical ‘get rich quick book’.

The book doesn’t teach you how to make money per say. It emphasises the wealthy mindset that will help you achieve prosperity. In other words, the principles of success.

Napolean Hill, (an American author) studied Andrew Carnegie over a period of time and wrote about his philosophy on wealth. These skills can be learned and applied to achieve success.

Think and grow rich became a best-seller and later one of the best-selling books of all time. Napolean Hill (1883 – 1970) went on to write a phenomenal collection of books in the area of personal development.

Manifesting your dreams

Carnegie believed that by rehearsing an idea over and over in your imagination helps the idea to manifest. However, he knew achieving success was going to take more than that. Taking consistent action towards your goal is paramount.

But Carnegie understood the importance of rehearsing and holding the idea in your imagination. Check out his quote below.

ANY idea that is held in the mind, that is emphasized, that is either feared or revered, will begin at once to cloth itself in the most convenient and appropriate form available.
