How to Write a Powerful Goal Statement – Step 5 of Think and Grow Rich Explained

Once you have completed Step 4 (created a definite plan and started acting on it), Step 5 brings emotional power into the equation. What you speak and write repeatedly, you eventually believe and what you believe, you create.

Step 5: “Write Out a Clear, Concise Statement”

Why Step 5 Matters:

•  It builds faith through repetition

•  It impresses your desire onto the subconscious

•  It programs the mind to expect success
•  It links emotion to action, making the goal feel real

Practical steps to achieve this:

1. Understand the Purpose of the Statement: This isn’t just a script, it’s your personal manifesto. It programs your mind to see, expect, and act in alignment with your goal.

2. Write out the 4 steps of the Statement

•  Step 1 Exact amount: example ($100,000)

•  Step 2 What you’ll give in return: example (coaching and mentoring 50 individuals to master the 7 Rules of Money).
• Step 3 Clear deadline: example (December 31, 2025).
•  Step 4 Detailed plan: example (coaching and mentoring 50 individuals to master the 7 Rules of Money. I will deliver this value through online programs, personal accountability, and workshops).

3. Put these 4 steps into a statement: Write this statement in the present perfect tense starting with “I am so happy and grateful now that…”. Refine this statement until it resonates emotionally.

Example Statement:

"I am so happy and grateful now that I have already received $100,000 by December 31, 2025. This abundance has come to me as a direct result of coaching and mentoring 50 incredible individuals who have each mastered the 7 Rules of Money through my online programs, personal accountability systems, and transformative workshops. I have consistently delivered massive value, and I have taken focused, inspired action every single day with unwavering belief in this vision. I feel deeply fulfilled knowing that I’ve helped others transform their financial lives while living my purpose."

It’s not what you say, it’s how you feel when you say it that ignites your subconscious mind. This step combines the what, why, how, and when into one crystal-clear affirmation that is spoken and felt with conviction twice a day. We will discuss this further tomorrow.
