Success Key 28: Bob Proctor’s First Speaking Engagement – Don’t QUIT!
Sometimes no matter how bleak it may look, the best alternative is to stay the course. One must evaluate the alternatives and make the best decision based on the facts. Yet, one must also keep in mind that the greatest successes, the biggest wins, do NOT come easy. There must be sacrifice, and the more ambitious the goal, the greater the sacrifice. That is why most people quit along the way. That is why not everyone is incredibly wealthy – it simply takes too much commitment and sacrifice to achieve that level of Success.
Free Success Ebook: “The Human Machine” by Arnold Bennett (6th Ed. 1913) – Free Download
It has never struck you that you possess a machine? That machine is yourself – you are the most fascinating bit of machinery that ever was. But no scientific sustained attention is yet given to the real business of living, of smooth intercourse, of self-expression, of conscious adaptation to environment – in brief, to the study of this machine. Considering that we have to spend the whole of our lives in this human machine, considering that it is our sole means of contact and compromise with the rest of the world, we really do devote to it very little attention.

“So what signifies wishing and hoping for better times? We may make these times better, if we bestir ourselves. ‘Industry need not wish, and he that lives upon hopes will die fasting. There are no gains without pains . . . He that hath a trade hath an estate; and he that hath a calling, hath an office of profit and honor,’ as Poor Richard says; but then the trade must be worked at, and the calling followed, or neither the estate nor the office will enable us to pay our taxes. If we are industrious, we shall never starve; for, ‘at the working man’s house hunger looks in, but dares not enter.’”
Success Key: S.M.A.R.T. Goal Achievement Method – Part 2
Measurability is really a four-fold element. Measurability means that: 1) you must be capable of measuring your progress as you work towards your Goal (i.e., your Goal must be Specific enough (the “S”) so that at any point in time anyone may objectively determine whether or not the Goal has been achieved), 2) you implement a system capable of periodically measuring your progress towards your Goal, 3) you actually use your system of measuring your progress towards your Goal, thereby collecting valuable information of your progress and, if you are not progressing towards the Goal, why not, and 4) in response to the information collected through your progress measuring system, you take appropriate remedial or corrective action that will bring you closer to achieving your Goal, with the action comprising both speed/efficiency and/or direction towards the Goal.
Free Success Ebook: “An Iron Will” by Orison Swett Marden (1901), Founder of Success Magazine
There are no two words in the English language which stand out in bolder relief, like kings upon a checkerboard, to so great an extent as the words, “I will.” There is strength, depth and solidity, decision, confidence and power, determination, vigor and individuality, in the round, ringing tone which characterizes its delivery. It talks to you of triumph over difficulties, of victory in the face of discouragement, of will to promise and strength to perform, of lofty and daring enterprise, of unfettered aspirations, and of the thousand and one solid impulses by which man masters impediments in the way of progression.
Free Success Ebook: “How to Turn Your Desires and Ideals Into Reality” by Brown Landone – Free Download!
No advance of mankind has ever been effectuated except if it was first formed by ideals of some kind. You fail in that which you do not idealize; you succeed in that which you idealize. Those who think only in ideas never attain to greatness; contrarily, it is the great men and women who always think in ideals. In order to succeed, therefore, you MUST change your “ideas” to “ideals!” How? By making it a perfect image, adding desire, giving it body substance, and creating in it an irresistible impulse to manifest itself in action.

Success Key: Conditioning – What You Need to KNOW – NOW!
The state of your conditioning is absolutely critical to the state of your life and it is the most important factor – out of the many factors and elements – in whether or not you will achieve the life that you Desire. No matter how much or what you study, or what actions you take (or fail to take), if your conditioning is “faulty,” you will not achieve your Desires. Indeed, the Law of Attraction – as well as the other Universal Laws – is absolutely useless if you have, and engage in, faulty conditioning.
Success Strategies: Escape Victim Consciousness – The 30-Day Challenge!
We tend to see the world from one of two perspectives: 1) things happen TO us (we are not in control of our lives; our lives are at the mercy of other people, events and circumstances; our paradigm is that of victim consciousness, a destructive state of being), OR, 2) things happen BECAUSE of us (we are in control of our lives by virtue of having control of our thoughts, feelings, actions, behavior; as a consequence, we control the results and experiences of our lives; our paradgim is that of prosperity consciousness, a constructive state of being). If you can understand this and shift your paradigm from victim to prosperity consciousness, you will transform your life towards the better – Guaranteed!
Free Success Ebook: “Mastery of Fate” by Christian D. Larson – FREE Download!
When man is convinced that he is, in himself, master over his life, he can no longer believe that his life is controlled by environment. He must absolutely reject the latter belief; both cannot be true to any one mind; therefore, every mind must decide which one of these beliefs to accept as absolutely true, and which one to reject as absolutely untrue. When man is in a state of self-supremacy, he is in a state where no influence from without exists; he is in a world where the power of self-mastery is the only controlling power; therefore, he cannot truthfully recognize any other.
Success Key No. 12: Discipline Yourself for Success
Your thought habits are subject to your control and self-discipline. They are the only circumstances of your life over which you have complete control. This privilege carries with it a heavy responsibility because it is the one privilege that determines, more than any other, the position in life you shall occupy. If this privilege is neglected by your failure to voluntarily form habits designed to lead to the attainment of definite ends, then the circumstances of life which are beyond your control will do the job for you, and what an extremely poor job it often becomes!
Free Success Ebook: “Your Forces and How to Use Them” by Christian D. Larson – FREE Download
When the mind discovers that its powers are inexhaustible and that its faculties and talents can be developed to any degree imaginable, the fear of failure will entirely disappear. In its stead will come the conviction that man may attain anything or achieve anything. Whatever circumstances may be today, such a mind will know that all can be changed, that the limitations of the person can be made to pass away, and that the greater desires of the heart can be realized. That individual who knows his power does not judge according to appearances. He never permits himself to believe that this or that cannot be done. He knows that those things can be done, because he has discovered what really exists within him. He works in the conviction that he must, can and will succeed, because he has the power; and it is the truth – he does have the power – we all have the power.

Success Strategy: Talk the Talk . . .
While we may not have the power or ability to control the external world and the people who live in it and what they may or may not do, we DO have the innate, God-given power and ability to control how we respond to life’s events, conditions and circumstances.
