The Sci­ence Of Get­ting Rich by Wal­lace D. Wat­tles is a time­less clas­sic writ­ten many years ago. Over a cen­tury ago, in fact.

But it’s a prac­ti­cal, step-​​by-​​step guide whose thought-​​provoking prin­ci­ples and strate­gies, though they were writ­ten in 1910, are still very much applic­a­ble to this day. And prob­a­bly more so.

I’m a firm believer in the idiom that you are what you think. And this book dri­ves that point home. So I highly rec­om­mend that your read this book, which is brought to you free on this website.

Thought is the only power which can pro­duce tan­gi­ble riches from the form­less sub­stance. The stuff from which all things are made is a sub­stance which thinks, and a thought of form in this sub­stance pro­duces the form.

Orig­i­nal sub­stance moves accord­ing to its thoughts; every form and process you see in nature is the vis­i­ble expres­sion of a thought in orig­i­nal sub­stance. As the form­less stuff thinks of a form, it takes that form; as it thinks of a motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things were created.

We live in a thought world, which is part of a thought uni­verse. The thought of a mov­ing uni­verse extended through­out form­less sub­stance, and the think­ing stuff — mov­ing accord­ing to that thought — took the form of sys­tems of plan­ets, and main­tains that form. Think­ing sub­stance takes the form of its thought, and moves accord­ing to the thought.

Now that I’m back from my hon­ey­moon, my inbox and forum have been flood­ingly busy! In fact, one thread on my Copy­writ­ers Board gar­nered so much inter­est that it cre­ated close to 10 pages worth of posts.

It’s a member’s take on “Michel Fortin’s Suc­cess Secret.”

Dale King, the author in ques­tion, pos­tu­lated that in every post and arti­cle I write, there’s a “secret” to my suc­cess. Although he hinted that the secret can be found in the book “Think and Grow Rich,” the rea­son why the thread became so pop­u­lar was because Dale never revealed it until the very end.

It’s a great exam­ple of the Zeigar­nik effect and keep­ing peo­ple inter­ested in your copy. It was so pow­er­ful that some peo­ple became out­right pissed off at Dale’s reluc­tance in reveal­ing “the secret” and posted harsh com­ments as a result.

In order to assuage the dis­grun­tled, here’s what I said. The secret is…

I wrote this arti­cle ages ago. And I never pub­lished it on my web­site, but have had it pub­lished in ezines and such. And recently, cer­tain events in my life have made me real­ized how much I do exactly what I taught many years ago, and prob­a­bly even more so now.

And today, with the advent of blogs, I believe this arti­cle about keep­ing jour­nals has even greater mean­ing and power. So I did a lit­tle search and dug it up. Today, I’ve decided to reprint it here for you.

It may sound a lit­tle too wacky or too meta­phys­i­cal for some of you. And I respect that. But the essence of the mes­sage is impor­tant, and more impor­tant than how I chose to deliver that message.

So please read with an open mind, because keep­ing a per­sonal suc­cess jour­nal can be one of the most pow­er­ful mar­ket­ing tools in your arsenal.
