Serious Intent as Daily Obsession

"serious intent means a permanent obsession with what you can do for the world. You should think about it every day. If you do, your unconscious mind will never stop thinking about it, whatever you are doing and even when you sleep. Every player thought about their success continually."

"To succeed, you need a serious intent to do so. Wake up each day determined that you will do something – anything, big or small, but something specific that you target for that day – to get closer to your destiny."

"But be advised: unless you make your high success the most vital thing in your life, the thing you think about most and most intensely, it will elude you. The players in this book either had supportive spouses, or spouses dedicated to their own success, or else difficult relationships or no significant other. The players put their own career above all else, and if you want unreasonable success, you must do the same."
