Notes

To really succeed in whatever is the business of your choice, you have to come to understand and utterly absorb into your being the fundamentally true idea that your activities in your business are virtuous and moral, provided of course that you conduct your business affairs honestly and honorably. Absorb this lesson into your heart and into your soul, and you will have overcome a major hurdle on your road to financial achievement.

Bestowing your hospitality on someone is the very best way of establishing a bond.

Don’t associate with cunning and petty little people.

Do your best to avoid two or more simultaneous stress inducing changes in your life.

If you are trying to attract and acquire something, you need to know as much as possible about that thing first.

Anyone with a reputation for reliability can create money.

Pick one organization with which to associate significantly. By “significantly,” I mean that you will invest both time and money. Select one that meets regularly and whose other members are people you would like to get to know. It is not difficult to peruse the names of those who are active in each charitable organization in your city. Get to know who is who. Feel no compunction about picking an organization on the basis of which group’s members are in the best position to advance your business objectives.
