3 . The book “The Science of Getting Rich” was written way back in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. It contains principles that we can still apply today. 1
Once you have decided what your goals are, and you have a clear idea of how to achieve them, you will look at the world differently. 2 Act on those opportunities, and success will follow. Your self-belief will carry you through.
3 Don’t compete with those who have already established themselves in a particular market. Create a new market for yourself. Competition is wasteful of resources and talent. New ideas and innovations add to the total wealth in the world.
4 When you sell an item or a service, add a bit of extra value. You will soon get a reputation for giving good value and will gain more business as a result. Not only will you get more repeat business, but your good name will soon bring in extra new business.
Wattles stresses the importance of being grateful for what you have. He maintains that it is vital to be thankful for what you have achieved already, as it will boost your feeling of self-worth. Congratulate yourself on every achievement, and be grateful for the success you have. You will feel happier and more contented. 5
