The Nine Steps may be derivative (as in taken as an adaptation of another's work), but they're mentioned by just about every other guru I've ever encountered. T. Harv Ekar says "Think Big", in his "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind." Nearly everyone says that you become whom you associate with, so "Say No to the Neg-Heads" makes sense, too. Focus is very important, as mentioned by Brian Tracy in "The Principles of Success". And the fear of rejection is probably one of the biggest obstacles to overcome before doing anything. Just ask anyone who approaches another person for a date. Maybe they're not the most clever of suggestions, but the Nine Steps have a great deal of value, even as brief as they are.
