There are many keys
to the many Doorways To Success,
and it is the purpose of this book to use those keys to
bring SUCCESS to more people, more
easily and more quickly.
The success methods which are
clearly described in this
book require no
formal education, no unusual talent, no
exceptional ability, and
no personal influence.
This book makes SUCCESS easily and quickly available to EVERYBODY-not just to a fortunate few.
There are few services which can be rendered to
this nation which are
more important than
to fill this entire
country with successful people who are
quickly and easily obtaining all
the good things in life!
That's why this book was written-to put SUCCESS within easy reach
of EVERYBODY. That's why you should use
this book to start getting the good things in life for yourself and your family NOW!
This book will give
you many keys
to SUCCESS. In
this world of unlimited
abundance, SUCCESS is a
Treasure Room with many doors!
Let's look at a
few of the keys which will
unlock the Treasure Room:
The "Hollywood and
T.V." Key to Success For example,
there is the «Hollywood and T.V.
Personal Magnetism Method"
of achieving success.
This is the way movie
and television actors
and actresses are taught to
acquire the powerful
personal magnetism by which they
attract crowds, win
fame and earn
fabulous wealth.
This success method
is simple because
it is based upon doing only three things! Try it yourself
:
(1) Maintain
a magnetic INNER-glow!
(2) Radiate a magnetic OUTER-glow!
(3) Smile with your EYES!
If you can do those
three things-with the right people, in the right places, at the right times-you have a key which will unlock one of the many
doors to
the Treasure Room of Success.
Lots of men and women have used this method of
achieving success-and not
just movie and television stars
either-but all kinds of
people who took time
and trouble to
learn, practice and
use this secret
of personal magnetism.
(It is taught in detail in my book: THOUGHTS TO
BUILD ON.)
The "Make Friends and Use
Influence" Key to Success
Now let's look
at what we'll call the “Make
Friends
and Use Influence" key
to success. This
method has two desirable
qualities:
(1) It is pleasant to
use.
(2) Properly used, it gets
good results.
I highly recommend it although,
personally, I feel
that it omits some of the
powerful success techniques which will be described later in this book.
Certainly there is much to be
said in favor of making friends-especially the
right kind of
friends-al- though too much time
spent in
"making friends" can greatly limit your degree of success. Often, people
have learned to their dismay that many
friendships do not have the permanence upon which to build substantial and
lasting success.
Nor is the influence based on friendship by any means
the most powerful. There
are deep, psychological influences
which are much
more dependable sources
of power for
you to use
in getting what
you want. These deep,
psychological powers will be given you
later in this blog as an important part of this SUCCESS COURSE.
Nevertheless, as I said at
the beginning, I also recommend the "Make Friends
and Use Influence" technique,
although it is
a little like
being for "God,
Mother and Country." However,
it produces good
results and that's what counts. So, use it!
The "Overwhelming Service" Key to Success "make" profits most, who serves best." That's one of
the best-known slogans in business. It also is one
of the most sensible keys to
success. It works if you understand that
the words "serves
best" mean OVERWHELMING SERVICE,
not just expected service or regular service
or good service.
Everyone in business, more or less
tries to give expected, regular, good service. And, that's exactly why it doesn't
produce extraordinary results.
There just isn't anything extraordinary
about doing the
ordinary, expected services. It may make you a living-but it
won't make you rich.
One of the purposes of this book
is to tell you how to get rich. And, one of the surest ways
to get rich is to give OVERWHELMING
SERVICE!
The secret is
to do much more for
those you want
to influence than
anyone else is willing or
able to do. If
you can't do that-you need to make some
changes!
If you won't do it-move over-who wants you?
I'm talking about
personal service-constantly (day and night) thinking of new and more ways
to help those whose help you want in return. And then
doing these personal services
continuously without thought of
immediate benefit to yourself. The less you directly benefit, the more impressed
those you want to
influence will be
that you sincerely want to
help them, and
the more obligated they will feel
that they should help you in
return!
But remember: expected,
regular, routine service will
get you exactly nowhere. You've
got to really OVERWHELM
others with service
(including services not
directly connected with what you
want). Of course, you have the good sense not
to make a nuisance of
your- self-but it's very
hard to be
a nuisance when
you are ·85 constantly
helping your friends
and associates be
a lot more
successful themselves!
Long ago, I heard
an inspiring speech on
the subject of "What's Your
Plus P" What extra are you putting into
your cooperation with others? What EXTRA
are you willing to
do that other
people are not
doing? It's your extra
that attracts attention, makes you stand far above the crowd, gets you what you want, makes you rich!
So there you have another
key to the Treasure Room
of Success: The “Overwhelming Service
method."
The "Human Dynamo of
Unlimited Energy" Key to
Success
What is the one
characteristic found in almost all
tremendously successful persons
throughout history?
It is unlimited
energy! These tremendously successful people are human dynamos of
super-energy!
To have this key to
success you must develop and continuously use personal energy
which is
so intense, so
terrific, so much greater than that of your associates and others
that you simply overcome all
obstacles by your unlimited capacity to get things done!
The “haves" and the "have nots" can be traced back to the "dids" and the “did
nots"!
One of the
great labor-saving inventions
of today is-tomorrow! Putting off
action until tomorrow not only will save
you labor today,
but it will save
you the future effort of making deposits in your bank
account.
Don't think the world owes you a
living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first!
But you're always so tired?
Why? Because you work so
hard? Because you
never really feel
energetic?
Maybe you can
sell those excuses
for failure to
yourself because you want
desperately to believe them-but you'll never sell
them to a psychiatrist, or to
your family doctor, or even
to your own family or friends,
although some may politely
pretend to believe you.
Every psychiatrist will tell you that chronic fatigue
(except in very
rare cases of
glandular or other physical
malfunction) is caused by boredom, anxiety, annoyance, irritation,
worry, resentment or a sense
of guilt hidden deep in your subconscious.
This is not a book on
how to eliminate chronic fatigue and I shall not pursue the subject
further except to recommend that if you have chronic fatigue, first
see your doctor, then
read some of the
good books specializing
in that subject,
or see a
psychiatrist. (And, by
all means, thoughtfully study the next paragraph. )
This is a book on the many
keys to success, one of which
is the effective use
of unlimited energy. If you haven't
got unlimited energy
take the advice
of William James, one of
America's leading psychologists, who
said that feeling
follows acting-so to
FEEL energetic, ACT energetic! Do
the things you
ought to do,
even when (especially
when) you don't
feel like it-and you'll
find you have plenty of energy to
do them. To FEEL energetic -ACT energetic! Do it NOW!
The "Mind Power" Key to Success
This method utilizes
the unlimited power
of continuous positive thinking.
There is no doubt that certain deliberate
uses of your subconscious mind can
amaZingly influence your
life and perhaps
even the circumstances surrounding
it! There is growing evidence that your
own Mind Power may
even influence the
lives and circumstances of others.
A detailed discussion
concerning Mind Power as one of
the most important keys to success would
require a whole book. In fact, much of this book is devoted to
the use of Mind Power through various kinds of
Success Psychology.
Although the success
methods of using
Mind Power are clearly and
Simply taught throughout this book, the
exact means by
which Mind Power
produces such astounding results is
still somewhat of a mystery.
This is no
reason why Mind Power should not be
used to achieve success any more than we should refuse to
use the benefits of electricity
and many other wonders of this
world which we
cannot trace to
their ultimate source.
Basically, the technique of using Mind Power is
to mentally intensify a specific desire
to such a focus
of white heat in your conscious mind that it burns
its image deeply
into your subconscious mind. There
it maintains such a
continuous influence on
your own thoughts
and actions (and perhaps even on your environment and
outer circumstances) that it materializes your desire into
reality!
Some psychologists believe
that your subconscious
mind is
connected with, and is
your personalized part
of, a superconscious or
universal MASTER MIND which
controls the entire universe.
Theologians think of
intensifying a desire
in your conscious mind as prayer, which is imparted through your
subconscious to a
universal mind-the MASTER MIND
which they call
the God Mind
or, simply, God.
No matter what the
terminology, Mind Power produces such amazing results that
they border on and perhaps should be called miraculous! Definitely, Mind Power should be considered a major key to success and I strongly recommend your detailed
study of it as
it is clearly
and simply explained in later chapters.
The "Will Power" Key
to Success
There is a key to
another of the doors of success which in some aspects is
like the key of Mind Power, but in many respects it is different. One
of the elements of difference is
that this method is as old as
some of the uses of Mind Power are new.
This key to success
is as old as
success
itself.
It is called "will
Power." Will Power is the
relentless, driving, irresistible
determination to obtain what you want,
to reach a desired goal regardless of everything!
Nature says, "You can have anything you want!
Pay the price-and take
it."
Will Power is the Willingness to
pay the price -whatever it is--in sacrifice, in money, in time, in effort, in any way
in which the price of success
must be paid. Will Power will pay it!
Psychologists have devised
an interesting test.
You are told
to visualize a
straight walkway which will take
you directly to a desirable goal. You
imagine yourself walking
determinedly along that walkway when
suddenly it is blocked by an obstacle of
unknown substance, height, width and
thickness.
You then are asked what you
would do:
- Would you return to your starting point and resume life as it was?
- Would you stop at the obstacle and start life anew there?
- Would you attempt to force your way through the obstacle and continue toward your goal, fully realizing that you might never reach the other side of the obstacle?
- Would you attempt to climb over the obstacle and continue toward your goal, fully knowing that you might never reach the top?
- Would you attempt to walk around either side of the obstacle and continue toward your goal, fully realizing that the obstacle might be so wide you might never reach the end?
Well, what would YOU do?
Your answer to that question
would tell a psychologist quite a lot
about the kind of
person you are. It also
would give him a clearer insight into your degree and use of Will Power, one of the keys
to success.
President Calvin Coolidge
said, “Nothing will take
the place of persistence. Talent will
not. Nothing is more common
than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press On: has
solved and always will solve the problems
of the human race."
A survey some time ago showed that very few millionaries had much money to
start with. In
fact, just 40 about all they had was the Will Power to
keep trying! That same survey
showed that only one
out of seventeen sons who had inherited large
fortunes from their wealthy parents retained his
wealth throughout his own lifetime. The other
sixteen had everything but the need to
get out into the world and
go to work! Thus,
they not only
failed to improve, but they lost what they had.
They did not have the incentive
to build Will Power.
Don't feel discouraged when you're so low you have
to reach up
to touch bottom.
Many men have succeeded without formal schooling. Many
have succeeded in spite of occasional
poor judgment. But none has succeeded without
Will Power.
Perhaps you have heard the
inspiring story of the group of war refugees who were planning
to escape by traveling over very rough
terrain. Since they had
to walk, they pondered long over
whether they could take a mother and her
little girl. Finally
they decided to
try, with the strong men
in the group
carrying the child.
For three weary
days they trudged
along and their· path
became more and more difficult.
Finally, unable to
keep up, an
old man col- lapsed.
He begged the
group to go on
without him and leave him to die, that they might save themselves.
The group sadly started forward
and then the mother
of the little girl took her child and
returned to the old
man. She gently placed the little girl in
the old man's arms
and calmly said, ''you can't quit now. It's
your turn to carry my
little girl." Then she
turned and followed the group
of refugees.
A little later
they looked back
and there was the old man walking determinedly after them
with the little girl snuggled in his
arms.
A great historian, having written the history of the world, was asked what he had found to be
the greatest lesson in history. He
replied simply, “When it gets darkest .
. . the stars come out."
Sometimes the key of Will Power is
handed us in our darkest hour.
But whenever and however we get it, the
key of Will Power will surely open one of the doors to the
Treasure Room of Success!
Next ... you will learn the
easy way to GET WHATEVER YOU WANT!
