Chapter 3
Philosophy of Success
This chapter has nothing to do with the system itself and yet it has everything to do with it. As important as having investing strategy, is having a success strategy. You might know it as a positive mental attitude, positive thinking, whatever. I see it as a burning desire to succeed, total faith in yourself. The Bible tells us that faith can move mountains and you need that kind of faith to succeed. You need an inner faith in yourself to get the most out of this system and life itself. No more preaching, just a list of books and tapes I recommend. Most of these are timeless classics that will not only benefit and delight you, but will transform you in all areas of your life.
Here are the books and tapes I recommend – most old, used bookstores or Amazon online have these books at very reasonable prices:
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
University of Success by Og Mandino
Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (any book or tape by Dr. Peale is outstanding)
How to Wake Up the Financial Genius Inside You by Mark O. Haroldsen
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz
Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence by Dr. Robert Anthony
The Sky’s the Limit by Dr. Wayne Dyer
Psychocybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz
I have also found many success oriented tapes including tapes of some books I listed. Tapes are an excellent, easy, and powerful method of transforming yourself into a successful person. An excellent organization offers most of these tapes. Write to:
Success Motivation Institute, Incorporated
P. O. Box 7614
Waco, TX 76710
Another excellent source of tapes is an organization called Sybervision. Write them for their catalog or look them up online. They offer both personal development and support improvement tapes. I have bought two programs from them write to:
Sybervision
Fountain Square
6066 Civic Terrace Ave.
Newark, California 94560
If you're motivated to earn money from the system, I think you're also motivated to improve yourself and vice versa. I really believe this is necessary and so worthwhile. This is probably the best thing you can ever do for yourself. As Mark Haroldsen said so wisely in his book: "Pay yourself first".
