Then the multi-millionaire turns to you and says, “There are untold riches within this cave; it‟s all yours if you can get it out.” What would you do? Would you half-heartedly, selfdoubtingly, lazily give up or feel “too-tired-to-do anything” just because the entrance was blocked? Or would you summon up the fighting spirit within you to put forth your greatest efforts? Would you work like the beaver, struggling until you opened a passage and reached the dazzling wealth within? Think about it. Your answer to the question above will indicate how you act upon the information contained within this book. Far too often, we sometimes make the mistake of doubting our very own God given inner forces that can help us to change our lives, conditions and circumstances for the better, instantaneously. For this reason, this book exists. This book will help you awaken the fighting spirit within to be both a miracle and a success. Once you decide to put forth the effort required to achieve greatness, you will become an example of greatness. If you never put forth your greatest efforts, you will always remain less than what you can be. Now, I ask you again. What will you do? You now stand before the doors of a mine that is filled with untold amounts of wealth. Are you ready? Are you really ready? In order to remove these huge “mental boulders” that block your entrance, you must be ready, willing and able to “unlearn” everything you have learned to date that has worked against you, instead of for you. Listen to the advice from some of history‟s experts on wealth. Remember that energy always follows thought and that thoughts are things. The moment you decide to change your thoughts, your surroundings will change. 1 http://www.awarepublishing.com Just as the saying goes, “when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at tend to change.” You have the power, so be powerful!

In a sense, it‟s actually the million dollar question because the pathway to riches is greatly dependent upon the millionaire‟s willingness to become an expert in the field of their choice. For many, this is a difficult question to answer, yet in all seriousness, it must be answered honestly. Once the decision to think like a business tycoon has been made, the real journey upon the road to success begins. All the things that we often think we have no need to know, blindingly becomes more apparent. Things such as: organization, co-ordination and execution. Make them your allies for life; they will never let you down. Now that you have aligned yourself with the three magnetic traits all business tycoons need, it‟s time to pick some players for your business team. These players don‟t have to necessarily be on your payroll, literally, but you do need to associate with experts that can help you improve your business image. It‟s been said that “a good man never travels alone,” neither should you. In order for you to do big things, you will have to utilize the science of networking. Remember without fail that “the big picture must be viewed from afar; a forest is lost to the sight of him who is in it.” Okay, now that you know about the three magnetic traits in business tycoons and the power that comes from building teams, what‟s next?

When the want to be millionaire hears about the Tao of business know-how, they acknowledge its existence, yet bear it no witness. When the millionaire to never be hears about the Tao of business knowhow, they laugh out loud. Had there been no laughter, the Tao of business know-how would not be what it is.” So what is the Tao of business know-how, really? It is the successful “business system,” method or way by which the millionaire accumulates wealth. It is a “system” which is built upon facts and practical experience which in turn leads to “know-how” or knowing the way or method for conducting business successfully. A “system” that can be trusted. Nothing beats know-how. Know-how is the master key of keys. Know-how will take you far if you let it. Know-how will help you form a “Business System” that works on your behalf. Know-how is the sure road to success because know-how takes away fears, doubts, and difficulties. Trust in what works and you cannot fail, for “he who has the information (knowledge) has the gold.” All successful “business systems" known to man rely heavily on useful information, information that‟s factual. To all those that desire to be future millionaires, embrace the knowledge and wisdom you are about to receive with an open mind, for the royal road to wealth is never closed to the open minded. Throw away your crutches (excuses) and take your first step into a larger new world, a world without limits. “It’s time to see with new eyes!” “It’s time to build a business that works for you.” “It’s time to utilize the wisdom of those that know-how to build business systems that work.” “Are You Ready to Learn?” READ ON! 63 http://www.awarepublishing.com Twelve Things to Remember 1.

The joy of originating. —Marshall Field “System and organization are the controlling elements of any large commercial or industrial enterprise—the two reins by which the business bodies are guided. In nearly every sphere of activity are found the elements of skill, enthusiasm and enterprise—qualities that make for success only when they are applied in the right direction. Skill must be directed along proper channels; enthusiasm must be directed to specific ends; enterprise must be organized to meet certain conditions and to attain designated results. And in this co-operation—this working together for the benefit of all concerned—system reaches its highest function.” —Henry Siegel 64 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity “To what extent any business or other enterprise is successful is dependent primarily upon personality, the central figure in any line of activity. To what extent a personality is successful is dependent upon that personality‟s application of those polices and methods that serve its ends. A personality is responsible for the success or failure a business firm largely to the extent by which he is enabled to organize and to control its forces—to install and apply the personal influence in his systems. “I have never known of a great business success without a personality. I have never known of a great personality in business without a system.”—Henry C. Lytton “There is probably no other single word in the language that better describes success than „system.‟ The larger the business, the better must be the system by which it is conducted; yet whatever its size, system is the essential factor. System enables the head of a concern to hold the reins of management of any business; it keeps him in touch with his assistants, his sales, his stock, and his customers. I have been methodical and systematic, that I might obtain the best results by the surest means and in the shortest time.” —Leon Mandel 65 http://www.awarepublishing.com “I install a system in every branch of my business—and follow up that system. The tendency of modern retailing is to simplify every detail of the work. This means neither too much recording—red tape—nor too little recording— carelessness; it means the happy medium that gets the greatest returns from the least outlay of time or money— system. System is a necessary servant, but a bad master. System must be operated—it does not operate itself. System economizes time, labor, expense; and the best system is that which affects the greatest economy of all three.” —Issac Gimbel “System means to a business what good tools mean to a craftsman. A merchant can do good work no more than a craftsman does good work unless he has the mechanical means. And the mechanical means of the business man is system. System means consecutive attention to all the essential and the elimination of all the unessential details. It is the means whereby the greatest amount of work may be done at the least expense of time, energy and money. System means knowledge versus guesswork, facts versus fiction. And system always means economy in the end, or it is no longer system.” — P. A. Conne “A mental plan is needed for any undertaking. Out of this planning your system will grow; out of this system your success will grow. I have never known a successful merchant who was not systematic. A great mercantile business is possible only when the minutest details are given their full measure of importance. The captain of industry must hold the helm; but must also depend upon his ship—system—and upon those who operate it.” — Edward B. Butler 66 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity “To attain success in business requires the perfection of a system for conducting business at the least possible expense and the power to put all the energy at one‟s command into this system. The process by which the energies of a business enterprise are directed toward specific ends—the system by which its powers and plans are utilized—are the fundamental factors in business building. To be successful one must have their thoughts on their work.” —Graeme Stewart “Success in business depends not only upon natural ability, but upon a thorough preparation and training in improved systems and exact methods.”—A. C. Bartlett “You are in business to make money, so remember, time is your capital.” “Focus your ability upon one point until you burn a hole in it. Genius is intensity. Digression is as dangerous as stagnation. It is the single aim that wins. Only by concentration can you work out a satisfactory system. Get your mind on it and keep it there. Watch every point—take care of every detail. Follow up, never stop pounding—never let up. Hang one with a bulldog grip till you get the thing done. No good system ever just happened. It was wrought out by the hammer of concentrated thought on the anvil of hard work.” A. A.

Every gem listed herein is filled with the ingredients needed to help you heal any dying roots that were once linked to success related ambitions. “Do right and Fear no one.” “To wish is of little account; to succeed you must sincerely desire, and this desire must shorten your sleep.” —OVID “Character is power—is influence; creates funds; draws patronage and support; and opens a sure and easy way to wealth, honor and happiness.” “Each life is meant to help all lives.” —Alice Carey “To give is to Live.” “Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and oftentimes we call a man cold when his is only sad.” —Longfellow 69 http://www.awarepublishing.com “If there be one thing upon the earth that mankind loves and admires better than another, it is a brave man—it is man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil.”—James A. Garfield “A brave man inspires others to heroism, but his own courage is not diminished when it enters into others souls; it is stimulated and invigorated.” —Washington Gladden “A Great deal depends upon a man’s courage when he is slandered and traduced. Weak men are crushed by detraction, but the brave hold on and succeed.”—H.S.Stevens “Write on your doors the saying wise and old, “Be Bold! Be Bold! And everywhere—Be Bold!”—Longfellow “I am afraid,” the brave man said…Afraid to be Afraid.” —William J. lampton “Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” 70 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity Victories that are easy are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.”—Henry Ward Beecher “The ruin which overtakes so many merchants is due not so much to their lack of business talent as to their lack of business nerve.” —Edwin Percy Whipple “It requires a great deal of boldness and a great deal of caution to make a great fortune; and when you have got it, it requires ten times as much to keep it.” —Baron Rothschild “I will be as harsh as truth, as uncompromising as justice. I am in earnest. I will not equivocate, I will not excuse; I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.” —William Lloyd garrison “No two men take a thing just alike, and very few can sit down quietly when they have lost a fall in life’s wrestle, and say: “Well, here I am, beaten, no doubt, this time; by my own fault, too. Now take a good look at me, my good friends, as I know you all want to do, and say your say out, for I am getting up again directly, and having another turn at it.” —Thomas Hughes “Never Give up! Never Give In! Says The Wise!” 71 http://www.awarepublishing.com “Hollow trees are always the stiffest, but the mightiest oak, if sound, can bend. The more exalted a man is by station, the more powerful should he be by kindness. There is no policy like politeness, since a good manner often succeeds where the best tongue has failed. Politeness is most useful to inspire confidence in the timid and encourage the deserving.” —E. L. Magoon “A polite man is one who listens with interest to things he knows all about, when they are told to him by a person who knows nothing about them.” —Duc De Morny “A man who waits and doubts and hesitates, and consults his brother and his uncle and his first cousins and his particular friends, till one day he finds that he is sixty-five years of age; that he has lost so much time consulting friends, that he has no time left to follow their advice.”—Sidney smith “I want you to learn right at the outset not to play with the spoon before you take the medicine. Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off a hard one makes it impossible.” —George Horace Lorimer 72 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity “The man, who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you cannot accept regret.”—Henri Frederic Amiel “The moment a question comes to your mind, see yourself mentally taking hold of it and disposing of it. In that moment is your choice made. Thus you learn to take the path to the right. Thus you learn to become the decider and not the vacillator. Thus you build character.” —Helen Van Anderson “How many strong, even mighty intellects, suffer the humiliation of seeing onetalented men, but with great power of decision, forging far ahead in the race of life, while they with ponderous intellects and colossal abilities, flounder about, creating great expectations, only to disappoint, simply because they lack the power of resolving vigorously.” —Orison Swett Marden “Success in life depends far more upon decision of character than upon the possession of what is called genius. The man who is perpetually hesitating as to which of two things he will do, will do neither.”—William Wirt “If you wait until you’re sure, you may wait forever.” 73 http://www.awarepublishing.com “Difficulties are the best stimulant. Trouble is a tonic.”—Charles Austin Bates “It is generally the man who doesn’t know any better who does the things that can’t be done. You see the blamed fool doesn’t know that it can’t be done, so he goes ahead and does it.”—Charles Austin Bates “Don’t dodge difficulties; meet them, greet them, beat them.”—Edmund Burke “Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute, what you can do, or think you can, begin it.”—Goethe “The man who is capable of generating enthusiasm can’t be whipped.” — Edward Bulwer “All experiences are valuable for the wisdom they bring or suggest. But when you have once gained wisdom and knowledge from any experience, there is little profit in repeating it, especially if it has been unpleasant.”—Prentice mulford “Your idea or ideal is not fully yours until you have expressed it.”—Henry King “If you would kill an idea, deny it absolutely all expression.”—Henry King 74 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity “Don’t expect to have health without effort; nothing in this world worth anything can be had without paying for it, and health is the prize of constant struggle.” “Not your environment makes you, but that part of your environment to which you attend, makes you.”—Henry King “Every time a new idea or invention comes into the world, a hundred men arise who claim, sometimes privately and sometimes publicly, that the idea originated in their own brain before its promoter ever thought of it. Their claim is usually a correct one. Thousands of men are ready to think, where one is found who will both think and act; and these very men furnish constant proof of the proposition. A spirit of progress and initiative is the great secret of success. Financially considered, other good qualities are valueless without it. A man may think out all the successful business schemes in the world, but unless he puts some of them into practice now and then he is liable to have the poorhouse for a home in his old age. 75 http://www.awarepublishing.com Real success depends upon happy combination of knowledge and initiative, but the latter is of necessity the more important, for whereas an active man may occasionally succeed by accident when he acts ignorantly, a learned man who never acts has no possible chance of success.” “The world reserves its big prizes for but one thing, and that is Initiative. Initiative is doing the right thing without being told. Next to doing the thing without being told, is to do it when you are told once.”—Elbert Hubbard “The world wants leaders, thinkers, doers, men of power and action, me who can step out from the crowd and lead instead of following. The human race is divided into two classes—those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit and inquire, “Why wasn’t it done the other way?” — Oliver wendell holmes “The great souls are always positive and creative.”—Samuel Johnson “Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.”—shakespeare “Thoughts always generate feelings.” 76 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity “Joy is not in things, it is in us.” —Charles Wagner “Rely on yourself when needed.” “Talent is power; tact is skill. Talent knows what to do; tact knows how to do it.” “Without tact you can learn nothing. Tact teaches you when to be silent. Inquirers who are always inquiring never learn anything.”—Disraeli “Determine what you would like to be; then determine the books you need to read and the things you need to do in order to arrive at your ideal. Then begin at once to act upon your determination. Be systematically heroic in little unnecessary points, do every day or two something for no other reason than its difficulty, so that, when the hour of dire need draws near, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.”—Henry James “Nobody profits by your discouragement but the forces of evil.”—Henry King “All barriers fall before a forceful mind.”—Mary Quinlan Laughlin “Know the Facts before judging.” 77 http://www.awarepublishing.com “Expect Criticism from others, it’s a part of the trials one must endure.” “To know how the wait is the secret of success.”—De Maistre “Have the courage to take in account every penny you spend and add it up weekly. Have the courage to do without that which you do not need, however much you may admire it. Have the courage to discharge (remove) a debt, while you have the money in your pocket. Have the courage to own you are poor (Financial illiterate), and you disarm poverty of its greatest sting. Have the courage to be independent if you can, and act independently when you may. Have the courage to obey your Maker, at the risk of being ridiculed by man. Have the courage to shut your eyes at the prospect of large profits and to be grateful with the small ones you received. 78 The Millionaire's Guide to Attracting Wealth, Health, Peace and Prosperity Have the courage to tell a man why you will not lend him your money; he will respect you more than if you tell him you can’t. Have the courage to acknowledge ignorance of any kind; everybody will immediately doubt you, and give you more credit than any false pretensions could secure. Have the courage to give occasionally that which you can ill afford to spare; giving what you do not want nor value neither brings nor deserves thanks in return; who is grateful for a drink of water from another’s overflowing well, however delicious the draught? Have the courage to “Cut” the most agreeable acquaintance you possess when he convinces you that he lacks principle; “a friend should bear with a friend’s infirmities”—not his Vices. {Have courage—by J.
