Synopsis

This audiobook was originally written in 1907 by Wallace D Wattles (better known for “The science of getting rich”).
It's a brief book with five chapters, and in this book, Wattles offers simple, step-by-step instructions on how to achieve wealth and success in one's life.
Getting what you want is success, and success is an effect, coming from the application of the appropriate causes.
Success is essentially the same in all cases, whether it results in the attainment of health, wealth, development or position, the difference is in the things that successful people want, but not in the success itself.
Success is attainment, without regard to the things attained, and it is a law in nature that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, since success is the same in all cases, the cause of success must be the same in all cases.
The chapters cover the following:-
1. The cause of success is in the power within us and not in other individuals and environment. It's about how we use and apply the power to its greatest extent.
2. Active Power Consciousness - Something that is more than Poise + Faith. A feeling when we know that we CAN do a thing, and know HOW to do that thing. And having faith while we are in the process.
3. Do the best at what we can at where we are. The next thing will be larger!
4. Apply your best faculty (or skill) and always act and work on it.
5. The idea of increase. While in the process of working towards our goal, focus on the 'increase' that moves us towards it.
This is excellent guidance which will help you to work towards success in your life

The audio version of this piece is by far the best way to absorb it’s message. It encompasses his passion for h......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on July 02, 2020

This is a quick motivational that you can find on YouTube. It is well worth 1 hour of your time to look this up and watch it. I downloaded the book but checked and it appears there are several that you can just watch online. In such a brief segment Zig Ziglar packs in both truths as well as motivati......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on February 21, 2017

Listened to this one-hour audio book and thought "it was ok" because the speaker was humorous. Ziglar demonstrated the fairly obvious principle that you need to have specific, achievable goals; you will not "get what you want" if you don't specifically know what you want. Other than that, the guy ca......more

Goodreads review by JD' on February 09, 2021

If I want to be motivated on working 💪 out, I would rather re-read the Memoir about David Goggins. The ultimate theme is that we will get what we want.. if we help enough people get what they want. Listening to the audio- book on Hoopla, give the speech is golden. The only thing I want is to be a fat......more

Goodreads review by Laurie on April 03, 2019

Another audio book on Hoopla - chose it bc it's actually a live talk by Zig Ziglar and I've never listened to him before. It takes a minute to get used to his voice (which eventually sounds like Matthew McConaughey playing a preacher - not altogether unpleasant) but he's a great storyteller. Easy to......more
