Organized Thinking

Think Your Way to Wealth is positive thinking with teeth. In short, you must take concrete and constant steps in the direction of what you wish to be doing.

Now, your wish can be very bold. I was in contact with a man who held a good job in a real estate agency in Washington D.C.; he was in his late thirties and he said he wanted to be a film producer. He asked: “Is this just too far out?” I said to him, so long as you can take reasonable steps in the direction of your wish, it’s not too far out.

And I began to communicate with him about things that he could do: there are lots of colleges and universities around D.C. There are lots of artists in and around D.C. He could go to film festivals and focus on short films and documentaries. Find out what local artists are doing. See if he could help them with treatments and with funding. Maybe he can provide micro-funding for certain films. Maybe certain documentaries can be brought to other producers or other people who can provide funding. Maybe he can become both an investor and someone who assists indie filmmakers with treatments and business opportunities—that’s what producers do.

There are so many opportunities for exposure. Such opportunities are not always money making, but for documentarians and makers of short films and student film projects, festivals and viewings are the seedlings of other things that are much bigger. Help artists find their way to such venues, I counseled him. And further, know everything there is to know about what young filmmakers and independent filmmakers and artists deal with in the world and in the marketplace today. Take these steps and effectively you are a film producer.

I was trying to get across to my correspondent that if film producing is really your passionate aim, there are organized and concrete plans that can be taken in that direction. It’s not too far out. It may not be remunerative at first—or at all. There are lots of artists and entrepreneurs who keep day jobs. I kept a day job, in effect, for many years. You cannot immediately or always wed your dream to paying the rent. But, nonetheless, movement is possible. Now, if the man had told me that wanted to be the first astronaut to go to Mars, I would have dismissed that. You’d have to do a lot of convincing to demonstrate that you could do something on Tuesday that would help further that aim. But I can be convinced, and he could be convinced, that he could do something on Tuesday that would further him in becoming a film producer. It’s absolutely possible.

So, organized thinking and action are a vital part of this program. This is not a program of sitting back and hoping things will happen to you. This is absolutely a program of action. Organized thinking and planning comes up again and again in the book. And I mean organized planning with a dollar amount attached to it.
