Chapter I
 
Before you and I become involved in the Ten Great Scrolls For Success, let’s have a heart to heart talk.
 
I’ll talk.
 
You listen!
 
The money spent on this book has been wasted.
 
Whether someone who cares for you, who wants you to “make it” big, who perhaps even loves you, gave you The Greatest Secret in the World … or whether you purchased it yourself … the money has been wasted.
 
The money has been wasted unless you are willing to accept, and try, a plan which has already worked for thousands of others.
 
The money has been wasted unless you have the guts, the persistence, and the will-power to follow the plan through to its fruition.
 
The money has been wasted unless you are willing to give the plan just ten minutes of your time each day of your work week … for forty-five weeks.
 
If I were a Nick the Greek-type-oddsmaker I’d say the odds were about 75 to 1 against your letting this system for doubling or tripling your income within a year help you as much as it can.
 
“But I’m different!” you remind me.
 
Really? If you made any New Year’s resolutions last January 1st how long did you keep them? What about those excess pounds you were going to lose, or those cigarettes you were going to quit using … or that second drink you were going to stop having?
 
How long are you going to keep kidding yourself?
 
Perhaps you really do have a burning desire to succeed. Perhaps the added responsibility of marriage, or parenthood, or the desire for a new home, even a new car, or a mounting pile of debts have forced you to come to terms with yourself and acknowledge that the solution to all your needs and desires is really dependent on no one but you.
 
But a burning desire to succeed is not enough. As the Executive Editor of Success Unlimited, a magazine devoted to helping individuals improve their business and personal life, I long ago recognized the fact that there are two types of burning desire … and one type is phony and hypocritical. This phony type of burning desire is found in the person who is constantly telling his wife, his boss, and (worst of all) himself, that he really wants to succeed. He reads all the self-help books published and he gets his “kicks” from reading about others succeeding just as there are individuals who get their “kicks” from reading pornographic books. Unfortunately for our friends who read either types of these books they never get into action. They live their lives vicariously through their imagined participation in the lives and activities of others.
 
Tomorrow, to this type of dreamer, will be a great day.
 
Tomorrow never comes.
 
If I have struck a little nerve within you don’t be concerned. Let me wipe that frown from your brow by assuring you that all of us possess some of that phony kind of burning desire. We make promises to others, promises that we know we can’t keep, in order to get our boss or our wife off our backs … little realizing the harm we are doing to our own personality, because we know we’re lying.
 
Today is the day you wipe that slate clean. No more phony promises, no more great plans in the evening which vanish when the sun rises, no more kidding yourself.
 
As you move, day by day, through this simple success program, you will slowly come to realize one important truth. You are nature’s greatest miracle. Just to duplicate the computer you possess, called a brain, would require sufficient electronic equipment to fill the entire interior of the Empire State Building. You are rare and unique and the ultimate product of several million years of evolution. Both in mind, and body, you are far better equipped than Solomon or Caesar or Plato to make something beaut…
