Run With Me for 30 Days
Today is the last day of this month, by tomorrow, the last month of the year will start, and before we all know it, the year would end. This year has been the best year of my life so far, and somehow I’m persuaded beyond any doubt that the last days of the year are going to be crowned with goodness. I know that in the last month of this year, many expecations are still going to be met, many people’s prayers will still be answered, many unfinished goals will be achieved and dreams will still come through and true! I’m about to embark on a 30 days journey of success, and I want you to come with me.
When I say this year has been good, it’s on all counts. Just this morning for example, I had the privilege of giving out a gift of an all expense paid vacation to two people, and not the first time this year. This year, I have gotten to meet and built great relationships with fantastic people, people I had never met have become my friends and partners. This year I have also enjoyed financial progress, enjoyed freedom, enjoyed a number of vacations, watched my kids, family and friends make progress. This year I have heard a lot of thank yous, a lot of God bless yous and so much gratitude has filtered into my life. This year, my mum stepped up to glory, and even though not here, I feel peace when I draw inspiration from her life. Very importantly too, this year, I have experienced God’s grace, guidance, protection, leading and wisdom in ways too amazing and numerous to describe. As this year wraps up however, I have a mandate to help a few more people achieve their goals and dreams, meet their future partners, attract wealth, be a blessing to someone else, whatever it is that’s going to crown your year with goodness. All you need to do is simple and brief.
In the next 31 days starting from the 1st of December 2009, I will be committing to reading a particular book for 1hr daily, and sharing my thoughts with you here on this post. I will like you to join me in this exercise and let’s learn together and ultimately earn together. This book is one book that has had the greatest influence on my life financially! I confidently assure you that if you read this book and follow it’s instructions, your finances will not remain the same. The book has the powers to destroy your old mindsets and set you up to succeed, particularly financially. The good thing however is that the principles are applicable to any areas of life where you need closure on your dreams. All I need from you is commitment to this process and I can guarantee that you’ll have good news to share before this year ends. I will also like us to share our insights and testimonies here as well. I’m sure you are wondering which book, it’s a book I can send to you electronically as soon as you request it. It’s a book that is worth millions of dollars to me, based on what I’m certain it has created and yet has the capacities to create.
If you are interested in Joining me for any 30days within the 31 days, kindly send me an email at deoluakinyemi at gmail.com so I can forward the e-book to you. As soon as we start reading, you can bookmark this page, and let’s daily come here to share our thoughts and learnings and to learn from each other. Let me sound this clearly though, the first step in achieving anything is belief, if you believe, all things are possible! If you don’t believe this process can work for you, please don’t bother, but if it resonates with your heart and you feel there is something in this process that will lead to the answer you seek. Come with me, let’s run with this together. Please don’t be a mere spectator, be in the race!

Hello All,
The Floor is Officially opened for us to begin to share our learnings. Remember, in an adult learning environment, what you give is what you get. So share generously, and add value to all our lives.
Your One hour can be anytime of the day, but when you read, understand that we are all reading as well. Different times will be applicable to different people, I’ll personally be working around doing mine between 11pm and Midnight.
Read, and share what you learn, or corroborate what another person learnt. Let the Lessons begin!
Would love to read the book with you sir. Please count me in.
lets get going borther…got the book already!
”My right to live is directly tied to my right to be rich”
Always wanted to be rich but first time that connection is being made for me.
I think am going to enjoy reading this book.
Am in Sir
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by deoluakinyemi, taiwo olukayode. taiwo olukayode said: Ok, so I didn't exactly read 24 books dis yr. But I chose d right ones. Check out dis site: http://bit.ly/81pHP8/ [...]
i have already started reading and one major thing that strikes me most is that getting rich is a science (proven fact) that rests on the principle of cause and effect. its about doing somethings right and not really about your talents or the kind of business you are in. This for me is very interesting insight and just taking it all in like a little child…..and am keen on knowing more.
Being rich has to do with both the body, soul and mind, richness has something to do with material things and its in the use of material things that a person finds full life for his body, develops his mind and unfolds his soul. ”So here now if you are thinking of getting rich, first of all work on your mind, your body and your soul”
I have downloaded the book and will read it overnite bcos of the busy day.
Will be here with my sharing first thing tommorrow morning. Happy reading to all.
This book is something different from the usual pack…I mean, check out the balance one has to have with the mind, body and soul, one cannot fulfill one part and free the others…
This is a big lesson to Christians.
One the knowledge of faith is becoming clearer. I also realised that as human we have got lot of power to create the world we desire. To me it is not only about money it is about living like you own life. Anything that is reality around me, it is so because I allowed it. I am in charge around here, I am not helpless the forces of nature are available to help me actualize my dreams. All I need to do is have faith and I can move mountains…see you tomorrow
Chairman,
(I LOVE YOU) You are too good,More grease to your elbow.you shall continue to be on top.please count me in on the journey.I BELIEVE
this book obviously is a great one, as it opens up an aspcet of life thati believe in.
The late Hip hop mastro 2PAC AMARU SHAKUR said " GET RICH RICH OR DIE TRYING"
There is no reason fro anyone to die poor. UNDOUTEDLY, nothing can we do in life without the power of WEALTH. Success is a state of continual becoming. once one level has been reahed, another aspiration rises. Hmmmmmmmmmm
The journey has started for me I would be reading btw the hours of 8.00 and 9.00pm. but if i might ask is it gonna be a chapter a day? or we just freestyle it and ensure within this month we get a full grasp of the book?
Just finished for today and one statement that got me pondering is • ‘Getting rich is not the result of saving, or thrift. Many very
penurious people are poor, while free spenders often get rich (‘but i strongly believe if you wana be a success you must cultivate the habit of saving’)
.
Nor is getting rich due to doing things which others fail to do,
for two people in the same business often do almost exactly the
same things, and one gets rich while the other remains poor or
becomes bankrupt’ Sure there has to be a scientific way of getting it done rightly. but my question is isn’t this still subject to Gods approval or can I say God is subject to this scientific way of getting rich?
In response to the questions about how should we commence. I recommend that we freestyle. If we take a chapter a day, we can finish the book in 15 days. We can then go through it again. However, it’s possible to read up all the chapters in a day and repeat the sequence as many times as possible.
Here are a few lessons from my Reading from Day 1.
1. The desire to be rich is a legitimate desire, it is the desire for a richer, fuller and more abundant life. Whatever can be said in the praise of poverty, we can only live a fulfilling and blessed life by having access to things, and the world is structured for you to have those things only if you are rich.
2. The greatest service you can offer to God or humanity is to make the most of yourself. Making the most of yourself Body, Mind and Soul (spirit) cannot be done fully except you have the resources to do all, and life needs be balanced not lopsided to one compartment.
3. If you do things in a certain way, you can get rich with absolute precision. As precise as saying that 2 + 4 is 6, or 2 X 4 is 8. There is a science of getting rich, and if you can learn what to do, and do it, you will get the results, and like all sciences, it works whether or not you understand it.
4. All that you need right now to change your fortune, is to learn to do things in “A certain way” that will soon be explained and you WILL get rich. It doesn’t matter where you leave, what business you are in… it only matters that you have learnt the way to act to be rich.
@Femi – One thing I have observed is that man simply calls what he doesn’t understand God. For years before gravity was understood, before the process that brings rain was understood, man called it Supernatural or God. God has put sure principles to govern and keep the earth in it’s circuit. We only need to find them out, and operate with them. When we understand what we need to do, doing them will give us desired results.
.. to be content with less is sinful!
I kinda like the way this book is turning conventional wisdom on its head. This journey is going to be interesting!
A few more thoughts jumping at me…
1. To be complete, you need to be rich.
2. It's not enough to have a rich library, you need to find time to read, to develop the mind (now that's a big challenge for moi!)
3. It is not normal to desire poverty.
4. It is irresponsible to neglect the science of getting rich…
I can't wait to devour chapter 2!
Simply Amazing! All I can say is the dreams in my heart, planted By God Himself is so beyond me and requires so much resources. I have always believed that if not for my sake but for the sake of the dream, I require great wealth. I also realise that it will not just come by saving my little naira and kobo.
As I set off on this journey of 30 days, I am beginning to feel my mind expanding to receive the dimension of access to ”mind-blowing” wealth. The scripture says, ”to him that has more will be given and to him that has not, the little he has shall be be taken from him.” – The richh think ”riches” and as a man thinketh….. While the poor think poverty thoughts, and so he tendeth.
I am set to make the connection!
Please i’m interested, count me in.
@Deolu thanks another lesson learnt, its high time I stopped allocating that I do not understand to God, all I need to do is find the right process out and operate in it.
Thanks once again, its a season of re-discovering selah…
The Science of getting rich is really an eye opener. So there are certain principles governing the distribution of wealth and its acquisition, Irrespective of location or vocation. Eager to read more!
great and life changin book,
from chap 1,i learnt our happiness is tie to when we give out our material things to others,and we can only do that when we are rich.
thats is just the only reason i learnt,why we need to be rich,to be a blessing to others and not to oppress.
i think b4 we read d book,we need to undestand why we want to be rich,bcos we might want to be rich for selfish,wrong reason,if our motive of wanting to be rich is to show off or oppress others,them it is certain that we will be desparate to do anything to be rich ,which is sinful and wrong.
so lets all check our motive ,if its wrong,we will definitely do d wrong thing to get rich.-unique seun
chapter 2 of the book is another eye opener.
quite interesting to know that getting rich is an exact science.
obviously, the rich and the poor live in the same environment ,yet the poor complains of lack of opportunity while the rich shouts eureka. To be on top th author says one must do things in a certain way. I hope the procdural outlay of the certain way of doing things in order to be outstanding will be given in the next chapter…….
Chairman am interested, at least i can still make up for the two days gone by
The book is mind blowing, its simply fantastic. Started reading the book today but couldn't do any other thing until i got to the last page!
Getting rich is obviously a science, going by the nuggets outlined in the book. It is not a function of discipline, sex, location, or how well you can save (kirakita o dola, ka sise bi eru o da nkan). You don't need a competitive/ scarcity mentality to get rich, there is more than enough to go round, just follow the nuggets and you are surely on your way to getting rich.
Will study the book one chapter a day effective tomorrow. I am however thankful to the Almighty for the grace to come across the book through Deolu and for making me one of the richest man in the world (Practicing the nugget of gratitude).
Let the run continues………
day 2, here is a summary of my reading;
1. Our actions are formed as a result of our thought hence the need to think right always(think truth)
. 2. To think using what we see is natural and easy but would not always get us to taking the right actions hence the need to think truth regardless of appearance though it requires conscious effort and power but would guarantee our always taking the right actions that would guarantee our getting rich.
already started sir … am in
Lesson 2…
…getting rich is a science, but it's not rocket science! It does not depend on location, creed, biz type, etc, but on doing thing in a "certain way". A specific and sure way…
Thses are what i learnt in chap 2
1,talent is not enough to be rich 2,just anybody ,doin any profession or business ,in any location or envirionment can be rich ,i discover that if the rich does something in a certain way to be rich ,then they know some things the poor does not know.i think INFOMATION IS A KEY TO BE RICH
Lessons from Day 2 of Reading
1. There is more than enough wealth in the world to go around. The visible is made from the invisible, the visible is enough to house, feed and even dress anyone flamboyantly, and when the visible finishes, the invisible is capable of producing more. Poverty is not a function of lack in the universe. There is enough supply of riches for all.
2. Everything in the universe has one source. The source is invisible, fills the interspaces of the universe and has the capacity to create into visible form any thought that is impressed upon it. – You might need to really read and re-read Chapter 3 to understand. It's also in alignment with ageless and scriptural wisdom.
3. The entire universe was made out of this one source, and there is enough of this source left to even make millions more of our planet and galaxy.
4. The number 1 wealth creation tool is the human mind. The secret of wealth is thinking and acting in a certain way. Interestingly holding a thought and acting in alignment is the work of creation. The resources of the universe are available to the man or woman who would learn to think and act in a certain way.
5. It is impossible to impress a thought upon the formless substance from which the world was made and not create the form of that thought. Thought is the only power that can produce tangible riches.
6. When a thought is impressed on the formless substance, it causes the creation of that thought along the established lines of growth. e.g if you think harvest, then the process of seed planting and growth are the established lines, if you think wealth, the established lines are exchange of value within a transaction.
There is too much learnt in day 2. Let me hear yours, to be continued.
1. The desire to be rich is not a sin.
2. All things were created from one formless substance.
3. Rich people think in CERTAIN WAYS.
4. You can only be limited by your thots, the more you think of your desires; the more it becomes real!
5. There can never be a shortage or exhausted resources, the formless substance will always create new substance.
6. Your desire to be rich,wealthy or live more of life is only God trying to manifest himself through you! (the boy who wanted to play the piano but couldn’t)
Well, I have read this book before though without any seriousness. It is better late than never so I am just starting my chapter 1. The way to guarantee success is to work smarter not harder though effective leaders do both. They work smarter and harder. We do not have any reason to be poor. There is nothing wrong in wanting to be rich.
I am still amazed by the contents of the 2nd chapter. These are my key points and challenge.
1. getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way – there is no place where people are thought how to do things to get rich. more is up to us as individuals to look closely and we would surely find what the rich are doing that we are not doing.
2. we have heard so many ideas of what we think when we do them, we would surely be rich like doing a particular kind of job, or moving with some particular cliques, or winning a lottery. there are many other fantasies like that. from chapter 1, it makes it more easier for us when we know for sure that its our right to be rich and to enjoy the fullness thereof, then we dont struggle for it. doing things in certain ways, then comes to us naturally.
3. There is no limit to the supply of formless stuff. I have been thru some weeks of preaching by my pastor on wealth been the intangibles like words, thoughts, ideas. this is also referred to here as formless stuffs.
question for discuss: what are the formless stuffs around us? how do we put value to them because nature is filled with them?
This book goes a long way to buttress my recent research.
1. The mind is a powerful tool that attracts what is predominant on it. Can you imagine if you don't want to be poor and you keep thinking 'i don't want to be poor' you are definitely going to be poor. You are actually attracting poverty.
My thoughts will attract riches or pennies depending on what i harbor on my mind.
2. To be poor is a sin and shows that you one is not serious (abandoning your duties to oneself, God and Humanity) All these need you to provide certain things for them.
send me the book…i dey interested.
Be careful for nothing but in every thing through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your request known to God.
You are going to get what you want but in such away that when you get it every other person whom you affect will have more than he has now. If you have to be rich in a scientific way, you must rise entirely out of competitive thought.
we must have strong passion for helping others but not to self injure.
I like this and interested in learning, looks liek a journey that woudl be well worth it. I wish I saw this post earlier, I hope I am not too late.
day 3 lessons 1. The universe desires me to have everything I want to have and n
ature is friendly to my plans. Everything is naturally for me,
I only need to set my mind on this truth. 2. I am to become a creator, not a competitor. I am going to
get what I want, but in such a way that when i get it every other person whom I’ll affect will have more than he or she has now.
Lesson 3…
There is enough to go around… no one is taking another's.
There is a 'certain way' to think and act to be wealthy.
This book is too much!!!
I requested for the download for the book but i didn’t get a reply. However, from the comments above, i think i guess you are reading Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. Great job, Deolu
Lesson 2 – Just like the law of gravity that says that anything that goes up must come down. The science of ettin rich is also a confirmation of that statement and applies irrespective of race or location so far as there is no deviation in the process. Have you ever observed the habits of great athlets, they ma have the talent no doubt but what the do is to master the basics.
@ Olunfunke and Ibinike, Please send me a mail, and I'll send you the book, and if you have it, you are welcome to join us.
Day 3 Lessons.
There are 3 fundamental truths upon which the certain way operates, they are.
1. The universe is made of the same source, this formless stuff that fills all in all is a thinking stuff that fills and permeates space. 2. A thought impressed upon this substance produces whatever is imaged by the thought. 3. A person can form things in his thought, impress it upon the formless substance and cause the things he/she thinks about to be created. – If you can believe this, you are about to make it… so believe it, even if to prove it.
These statement became exploded in my mind "As a man thinks, so is he", What we do is a direct reflection of how and what we think.
The first step towards getting rich (or whatever else anyone wants) is to be able to do things the way you want, which implies to think the way you want. To think the way you want, is to think TRUTH regardless of appearances. Holding a consistent and consecutive thought is work – arguably man toughest work.
Please send me this book
Lessonn 3 – The sky in my view is so large that it can accommodate everyone. The world’s resources is enough such that poverty should not be heard of. But here we are. We just have to think out of the box.
this is awesome, just reading the comments has got me excited.i await the ebook so i can join the train.
I am already 4 days late but I am all the more determined that I can make judicious use of the remaining days. And sure I can make it.
Your pocket book is not going to be transformed into a Fortunatu's purse which shall be always full of money without effort on your part…
Even though it was God that ordained David King over Israel through a powerful anointing service by prophet Saul. attaining the throne was not automatic he fought battles.
visit my blog and read the article where is my money? what I read today took my mind to that article. http://www.mindcollege.blogspot.com
I t was last week i bump into one of your articles” Is your church relevant?” , and i was wonderstruck . The text was very inspiring. Since then, i have started reading your older posts and they are equally amazing. I want to thank you, not just for what you write but, for the warmth in you texts and for sharing peoples` problems,heartaches and helping them in every little way you can. By so doing, you are a distinguished Nigerian. Action ,they said , speaks louder than voice -Keep up the goodwork ,Deolu! Pls, Deolu send me the aforementioned e-book . A jillion THANKS, buddy!
Lessons from Day 4
1. Everything in life is seeking for constant increase. A desire for increase is inherent in all of nature. The same desire that wants the seed to become a harvest,that wants plants to grow is the same form that wants you to be rich. Every desire is possibility seeking expression. Desire is caused when power seeks manifestation. You are reading this book because you are meant to be rich.
2. Nature is friendly to your plan. All things are working in your favour. God wants you to be rich so He can be better expressed in you. Everything is naturally for you, you need to make up your mind that this is true. All you need to do is to ensure that your purpose for wealth is in alignment with God's will, and that is to live fully not only in one dimension of life. Life is the performance of function – physical, mental and spiritual.
3. We are meant to become creators not competitors. We will get what we want in such a way that when you get it, every other person who we affect will have more than he has now. We do not have to cheat, take advantage of, covet, or oppress. Riches obtained in the competitive plane are never satisfactory or permanent. Seek for lasting wealth.
4.To get rich in the scientific and certain way, one must rise completely out of the competitive thought. Never look at the visible supply. Look always at the limitless riches in formless substance, and KNOW that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use them. Nobody, by cornering the visible supply, can prevent you from getting what is yours. So never allow yourself to think for an instant that all the best building spots will be taken before you get ready to build your house, unless you hurry. Never worry about the trusts and combines, and get anxious for fear they will soon come to own the whole earth. Never get afraid that you will lose what you want because some other person "beats you to it." That cannot possibly happen. You are not seeking anything that is possessed by anybody else; you are causing what you want to be created from formless substance, and the supply is without limits. Stick to the formulated statement:
5. There is a way wealth comes to you if you are operating in the creative mind frame. It must come to you in such a way that the people you deal with get more value than their cash value. Deliberately add to the life of the world in every business transaction. What desire comes to us through defined or undefined systems, with the thinking substance working in all through all, and communicating with all to bring you your desires. Have a desire, have faith and act in a certain way.
6. "Do not hesitate to ask largely, it is the fathers pleasure to give you the kingdom" – Jesus. You can get anything you truly wnat, it doesn't matter how small or how big, it's the same process.
Lesson 4:
It shall be unto me according to my faith….. …. so why should I short change myself.
1.You can make each act a success, because ALL Power is working with you; and ALL Power cannot fail.
2.Power is at your service; and to make each act efficient you have only to put power into it. 3.
Every action is either strong or weak; and when every one is strong, you are acting in the Certain Way which will make you rich. 4.
Every act can be made strong and efficient by holding your vision while you are doing it, and putting the whole power of your FAITH and PURPOSE into it.
[...] who sent me an email, and I forwarded the book to them. In case you are thinking of joining us, here are some things we have learnt in the last 4 [...]
Lesson day 5
1. Gratitude keeps me in touch with the source of my wealth by bringing my whole
mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe.
2. Gratitude prevents me from falling into competitive thought, by so doing it keeps me from the feeling of dissatisfaction which attracts bitterness, negative thoughts and this ultimately keeps me as a competitors rather than a creator.
i wanna run with u CM
Hey ,guys you got that! No competition-cool. Competition only leads to rat-race and ,where there is rat -race there`s bound to be quacks and charlatans( fake rich people whose riches have no solid base). Just soak this up "You are not seeking anything that is possessed by anybody else; you are causing what you want to be created from formless substance, and the supply is without limits" It is obvious that wealth that is not production-based will not last.
It is clear one can`t get rich by stealing ,looting ,bribing or receiving kickbacks. God loves a cheerful giver but abhors those who wrongfully enrich their pockets. Nigeria is too blessed with resources(formless substance) ,but it time we do things in certain way to lift this country to a greater height .May Allah lead us and endow us the ability to do thing in certain way to benefit not only ourselves but the entire humanity in general.
Is there any among you that is son will ask for bread and will give him a stone, or a fish will give him serpent? If your earthly fathers who are evil gives you good gift how much more your Father who is in heaven. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you.
God is willing to help us achieve our goal, God is not out there to stop us…
I am assimilating the book bit by bit…
Day 5 Lessons
1. Gratitude keeps you in alignment with God… retains the basis of contact and communication and determines the speed at which what you desire and have impressed with faith comes to you. The grateful outreaching of your mind in the thankful praise of the supreme is a liberation of expenditure force; it cannot fail to reach that to which it is addressed, and the reaction is an instantaneous movement towards you.
2. If you do everything else and are not operating in constant gratitude, you will not be rich or get whatever else you want.
3. Don't waste time complaining – about politicians, captains of industry or magnates. Be grateful for where things are, everything is working for your good. Everything is helping to arrange the lines of transmission to you.
I feel very inspired with what you are doing especially with your work in celebrating books.i am completely in the field of getting africa to read again and thus if you are on my facebook page:mina margaret ogbanga,then check out the ‘reading bridges’ newsletter coming out soon…would you love to be a part of that initiative?pls let me know..we need someone to write on reading and writing disorders.if this interestsyou,let me know.well done…Mimi
@Fawibe obafemi; You are right my brother
i love this…i am with you all through the year deolu…..
lessons for today:
1. Never look at the visible supply. Look always at the limitless riches
in formless substance – there are great riches yet untold of. it will take a diligent heart to search it out and it will take a diligent man to do it in certain ways that will prosper him
2. So never allow yourself to think for an instant that all the best
building spots will be taken before you get ready to build your
house, unless you hurry – i learnt this lesson in Ife when people are saying there are no more lands to sell on a particular stretch of road and the bank came and started buying d houses with the lands to build their structures. whatever you need, you can always get it
3. Never get afraid that you will lose what you want
because some other person beats you to it. That cannot possibly
happen. – to put it simply, when someone says there are too many cars in Nigeria, tell him that is not true cos your cars are not yet listed. nobody can beat you to what is yours. you are the only one that can deprive yourself of your entitlements
Chapter 1 (Key word: Desire)
We all have the legitimate, noble right to a desire to be rich. For the body, soul and mind to have full expression, they need things which only money can buy.
Chapter 2 (Key words: Learning, doing, certain way)
You can start in your present business and in your present location to do things in a ‘certain way’ that causes success.
Chapter 3 (Key words: ACT, THINK, inexhaustible, opportunity, abundant, formless, invisible supply)
Opportunity is abundantly available to all if you will go with the tide; and nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches, these resources/riches of the formless supply are at the command of the person who will ACT and THINK in a certain way.
More to come!

Lesson day 6 1. It is not enough that I should have a general desire or wish for
wealth, everybody has that desire instead I must be definite and precise about what I want.
2. It is not enought to be precise and definite about what I want, behind this must be a grand purpose why you want it this fuels my desire constantly. 3. Behind this must be an invincible and unwavering faith. 4. Having done all this then I must receive in mind what I ask for by acknowledging that what I want is available for me all I need to do is reach for it.
Day 6 Lessons
1. Know what you want. If you want to send a message you just don't send alphabets, you arrange them in a proper sequence. Your request or thoughts must be in clear terms.
2. Spend a good part of your leisure time contemplating your picture. Don't bother with exercises, if your desire is strong enough it will occupy your thoughts, work it to be strong.
3. Begin to live at once in a mental frame of mind like someone who already has what he wants. Whatever things you ask for when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.
4. Hold the vision with unshakable purpose to attain it, with steadfast faith that you do attain it.
5. Thank God and be grateful exactly like you have them. Gratitude while things are yet imagined is the manifestation of true faith.
6. The answer to prayer is not according to faith while you were talking, it's according to faith while you were working.
Things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites. Health is never to be attained by studying disease and thinking about disease; righteousness is not to be promoted by studying sin and thinking about sin; and no one ever got rich by studying poverty and thinking about poverty. Doubt or unbelief is as certain to start a movement away from you as faith and purpose are to start one toward you. Medicine as a science of disease has increased disease; religion as a science of sin has promoted sin, and economics as a study of poverty will fill the world with wretchedness and want. Do not talk about poverty, do not investigate it, or concern yourself with it. Never mind what its causes are; you have nothing
to do with them. What concerns you is the cure.
How do you solve a problem without knowing its cause, how can scientist provide cure for virus without knowing how virus works? I need more light on this issues.
Do not tell of the poverty of your parents or the hardships of your early life. To do any of these things is to mentally class yourself with the poor for the time being, and it will certainly check the movement of things in your direction. Put poverty and all things that pertain to poverty completely behind you.
If one person who reads this book gets rich by doing what it tells him to do, that is evidence in support of my claim, but if every person who does what it tells him to do gets rich, that is positive proof until someone goes through the process and fails. The theory is true until the process fails, and this process will not fail, for everyone who does exactly what this book tells him to do will get rich. I have said that people get rich by doing things in a certain way, and in order to do so, people must become able to think in a certain way.A persons way of doing things is the direct result of the way he thinks about things. To do things in the way you want to do them, you will have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think. This is the
first step toward getting rich. And to think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless
of appearances.
Does this statement implies we all know the truth, if not what is the truth and how can we come across it?
Sir, i am always happy with the way you motivate people and you encouragement,thank you very mush. I am ready to run with you.
I love all what you teach.
@ Bowshot. Truth is what you want… and it's the reality you should hold regardless of appearances.. appearances are not true.
Day 7 Lessons.
1. Don't try to use your will power to control anybody else. Your will is for only you to use for yourself to hold firm to your faith.
2. Keep your mind off the negative, regularly process positive things with your mind. Don't talk about poverty, past or present, teach people how to get rich, it's better than charity.
How do you solve a problem without knowing its cause, how can scientist provide cure for virus without knowing how the virus works? I need more light on this issues.
Thank you Deolu…so what I want from life is my Truth. I will like to know if my intention has to be pure for this principle to work?
I already know 2010 is not going ot be like 2009. It is a year where i will think abundance and revel in abundance. The truth that thought creates everything is so profound i had to stop aand share it with the people arond me so that it sinks. The funny thing bout this book is that i have had it in my computer for over 3 years and didn’t take it seroius. Now i am digesting it and has enrolled my dear hubby in the race. We must both move on in the certain way. I also like the way Mr. Wallace doesn’t throw religion in ones’ face. Tahnks again deoul. I think i want to join Jesusfreak and nominate you for my favourite person of the year.
You can get rich in ANY business, for if you have not the right talent, you can develop that talent. It merely means that you will have to make your tools as you go along, instead of confining yourself to the use of those with which you were born. It will be easier for you to succeed in a vocation for which you already You can get rich in ANY business. have the talents in a well-developed state, but you can succeed in any vocation, for you can develop any rudimentary talent, and there is no talent of which you have not at least the rudiment. You will get rich most easily in terms of effort, if you do that for which you are best fitted, but you will get rich most satisfactorily if you do that which you want to do.
@ All, Thanks I'm grateful.
@Bowshot: What you want needs only to be in line with the flow of the universe. Make sure that what you want does not deprive anyone else, it's in the line of more and better complete expression and is what God wants you or humanity to have. Don't complicate it, it's actually quite direct.
Lessons for Day 8 – The use of the Will
1. Let the dead bury their dead. Put poverty and all things that pertain to poverty completely behind you. Anytime you spend mentally classing yourself with the poor or imagining poverty will check the movement of things towards you.
2. Interest yourself in the world becoming rich, read news, get involved with information about what the world is coming into, not where it is coming from.
3. When you speak to poor people, speak to them as people coming into wealth. Speak to them as people to be congratulated not pitied.
4. Show the world around you the way to affluence in your own personal practice.
5. Getting rich the creative method is the best thing you can do to serve God and man.
6. About getting rich, focus entirely on this book, don't divide your attention by mixing many theories. Get rich first, do the theories later.
Day 9 Lessons
Acting in a Certain Way – The crux of the science of getting Rich.
1. Thinking causes the things you want to be impelled towards you. The way you arrange your own personal business and your personal activity makes you receive what is already yours. Receiving is not taking as charity or stealing, it's offering more value than the cash value you want to receive.
2. Don't guide the creative process – retain your vision, stick to your purpose, and maintain faith and gratitude. Then you must act in a Certain way, so you can appropriate what is yours when it comes to you. When things reach you, they will be in the hands of other men, who will ask for an equivalent value.
3. Put your whole mind into present action. Act now, don't impress your thoughts on the original substance and wait for results. You must act NOW, and where you are. Act where you are with all your heart, all your strength and all your mind.
4. Take the actions you currently do, and start doing them in a certain way. Use your current business as the means of getting a better one, and your current environment as the means of getting a better one. If your actions are in a certain way, it will move you to the right business. Your vision and faith will set the creative force to bring it towards you and your actions will cause the forces in your own environment to move towards your desired place.
5. Act NOW upon the people and things in your present environment.
U are rily doing great for this generation,so keep soaring.

Day 10 Lessons
Efficient Action
1. You must ACT where you are, and do ALL that you can do where you are. You will advance only by being more than your current level.
2. Everyday is either a successful day or a failure, and it’s the successful days that get you what you want. If everyday is a failure you cannot get rich, and if everyday is a success you cannot fail to get rich. Do everyday, ALL that can be done that day.
3. Don’t focus on number of things. Focus on Efficiency of each separate action. If you have sufficient number of efficient actions, you will be rich.
4. To make your act Strong and Efficient, you have to put POWER into it. This you can do by holding your vision while you are doing it, and putting the whole POWER of your FAITH and purpose into it.
5. When thought and action are consistent, and ALL power goes into every act, no matter how commonplace, every act will be a success in itself, and every success opens the way to other successes.
6. If you want speedy results, then all your spare time, must be spent contemplating your vision until they are firmly fixed in your memory. When this is done, you only need to mentally refer to the picture to stimulate the faith and purpose to cause your best effort to be put forth.
@All, I have been on the move and have suffered lack of internet access for a while… but I'm back now.
Day 11 Lessons
Getting into the Right Business
1. You need to have in a well developed state, the faculties required to succeed in any particular business you want to do.
2. The faculties are tools, it's important to have good tools, but it's also important to use them the Right Way.
3. You can do well in ANY business, you can do well easily if it's in line with your developed faculties, you can do well satisfactorily if you want to do the business. Desire is a proof that the capability exists. Desire is power seeking manifestation.
4. The only time you are permitted to do what you don't desire to do is if it's a means to what you want to do. Past mistakes can bring you to this point, but you can make the doing of it pleasant by knowing that it is making it possible for you to come to the doing of what you want.
5. Don't be in a hurry to leave a bad business, the best way to change business or environment is growth! Don't be afraid to make a sudden and radical change if the opportunity presents itself, and you feel it's the right opportunity after careful consideration.
6. There is no hurry in the creative plane, and no lack of opportunity.
7. When in doubt, fall back on the contemplation of your vision and retain an attitude of Gratitude. You won't make a mistake when you do act this way. Go as fast as you can, but never hurry. Hurry is signal for return from creator to competitor.
8. Gratitude Strengthens your faith and renews your purpose.
Getting rich is an exact science.
The wage-earner will find this as true of his case as of any of
the others mentioned. Do not feel that you have no chance to get
rich because you are working where there is no visible opportunity
for advancement, where wages are small and the cost of
living high. Form your clear mental vision of what you want,
and begin to act with faith and purpose.
Do all the work you can do, every day, and do each piece of
work in a perfectly successful manner. Put the power of success
and the purpose to get rich into everything that you do.
Day 12 Lessons
The Impression of Increase
1. All men are looking for increase, by dealing with them in such a way that you convey the impression of increase on their minds, men and women will be attracted to you.
2. Convey the assurance of increase in every transaction no matter how small. Put the thought of increase into every transaction. You are an advancing personality and are giving advancement to everybody around you. Feel that you are getting rich and in so doing, making others rich, and conferring benefits on all.
3. Don't boast or brag of your success unnecessarily.
4. Let people feel that by associating with you, they will get increase themselves. People will go where they are given increase, and God will move people to you that need increase.
5. Never seek power to control others. Beware of the competitive mind. Follow the golden rule.
3.
Day 13 Lessons

2. You need two things to advance, be too big for where you are, and have a clear picture of what you want.
3. Don't limit yourself. Advance yourself.
4. The power of God supports you and helps you once you are positioned as an advancing man.
Day 14 Lessons
The Advancing Man Contd.
1. Let everyone that comes in contact with you feel the power of purpose radiating from you, so that everyone gets the sense of advancement and increase from you.
2. Don’t wait for the opportunity to be all you want to be, when an opportunity to be more than you are now surfaces and you feel impelled towards it, take it. It will be the first step towards a greater opportunity. There is no lack of opportunity for the man living the advancing life.
Day 15 Lessons
Cautions
1. If you stick to the science, your journey to wealth is unstoppable.
2. Don't give anxious thoughts to any future possibility, every difficulty carries with it the wherewithal to overcome it.
3. Mind your language, never allude to failure or speak in a way that infers it's possibility.
4. Never speak of times as being hard or business being doubtful. It never happens on the creative plane, on the creative plane you are above fear.
5. Train yourself to think of the world as becoming and growing. Speak in terms of advancement.
6. Never allow yourself to feel dissappointed. If you do not get what you want at a particular time, it's because something better is coming.
Wow! Over a 100 inspiring comments. I have been reading the book and silently reading the comments in here.
I had better start sharing my thoughts tooo. Presently, i'm on chapter 11. I guess i should start with that.
I'll be back tomorrow to share
All you need is to know what you want and to want it badly enough so that it will stay in your thoughts.
The methods set forth here are for people whose desire for riches is strong enough to overcome mental laziness and the love of ease, and to make them work.
You do not need to pray repeatedly for things you want. It is not necessary to tell God about it every day. Your part is to intelligently formulate your desire for the things which make for a larger life and to get these desire arranged into a coherent whole, and then to impress this whole desire upon the formless substance, which has the power and the will to bring you what you want. You do not make this impression by repeating strings of words; you make it by holding the vision with unshakable PURPOSE to attain it and with steadfast FAITH that you do attain it. The answer to prayer is not according to your faith while you are talking, but according to your faith while you are working.
You cannot impress the mind of God by having a special Sabbath day set apart to tell him what you want, and then forgetting him during the rest of the week. You cannot impress him by having special hours to go into your closet and pray, if you then dismiss the matter from your mind until the hour of prayer comes again. Oral prayer is well enough, and has its effect, especially upon yourself, in clarifying your vision and strengthening your faith, but it is not your oral petitions which get you what you want. In order to get rich you do not need a sweet hour of prayer; you need to pray without ceasing. And by prayer I mean holding steadily to your vision, with the purpose to cause its creation into solid form, and the faith that you are doing so. Believe that ye receive them.
Remember that it is faith and purpose in the use of the imagination which make the difference between the scientist and the dreamer.
Keep your mind at home. It can accomplish more there than elsewhere.
The world is filled with people. It is people (you and I) that makes a better world – “The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make themost of yourself.”
We all need to be efficient and productive – You must give every person more in use value than he gives you in cash value.
I do Agree with you, Belief is what drives us, it's like an engine inside a vehicle that runs it, if you have a weak and unserviced engine, your velocity will slow down and eventually stop,
I have Experience a lot of life changing experience after i decided to look inside myself!!
I will be more than happy to Read your Book!
Thanks
Life responds to growth. Once you are more than a particular level, you simply rise into a new level. The work lies in saturating yourself with all that you require to be in that new level. Once you are filled, you begin to spill over and then a new container is prepared for you. This simple principle of filling and saturation is what governs increase and growth.
Chapter 14
God seems us as the same. The is no disparity amongst us in the presence of God. And if we must live life abundantly the way He wants us to, we must alwayscollaborate for our successes – “?What I want for myself, I want for everybody.?”
I’m currently away from regular internet access but trying to get used to commenting from a bb.
I’m doing a re reread, no 3.
Here are a few more lessons, the more you read the clearer what needs to be done.
1. Get clarity on what you want and document your thoughts and desires. Create visuals of your desire.
2. Pray about what you want, this is how to initiate impressing your thoughts on the formless thinking substance.
3. Pray without ceasing, this means keep the thoughts and imaginations alive. Let them fill your leisure.
4. Be grateful, exhume unending gratitude, it keeps you in track with the flow of your desires. Gratitude aligns you with God.
5. Hold the vision with unshakeable faith and purpose, let it occupy your mind thoroughly. Then do your current work with that power.
6. Make sure each of your acts are efficient. Don’t use your will on anyone. This pushes you to your harvest.
Change your mind, and EVERYTHING changes!
Do not concern yourself with questions as to how you shall surmount obstacles which may loom upon your business horizon unless you can see plainly that your course must be altered
today in order to avoid them. No matter how tremendous an obstruction may appear at a distance, you will find that if you go on in the certain way it will disappear as you approach it, or
that a way over, under, through, or around it will appear. No possible combination of circumstances can defeat a man or woman who is proceeding to get rich along strictly scientific lines. No man or woman who obeys the law can fail to get rich, any more than one can multiply two by two and fail to get four.
In its entirety, the book is one of the finest in print. Its words are magical; every sentence is meaningful, relevant and liberating. The book is a must-read for everyone serious about financial independence. No doubt, Wallace D. Wattles is one of the rarest sages our Universe has produced. Thank you mentor for the opportunity to re-read the book.
