Chapters

• 00:00 - 01:00: Definition of Success and Failure The chapter titled 'Definition of Success and Failure' discusses the concepts of success and failure in life. It emphasizes that failure is a result of a few errors in judgment that are repeated daily over a long period. The story of the author's father is also mentioned, emphasizing a life without illness due to presumably good judgment and habits.
• 01:00 - 03:00: Healthy Habits and Philosophy The chapter titled 'Healthy Habits and Philosophy' revolves around a late-night scene where the narrator describes a routine moment with his father. Even at midnight, the father maintains his healthy eating habits by having what he calls a 'midnight snack' consisting of an apple, a few graham crackers, and a glass of grapefruit juice. The narrator highlights this as part of their father's philosophy, possibly hinting at the importance of maintaining healthy eating habits and routines, regardless of the time of day. The setting suggests a lifestyle where small, consistent practices contribute to overall well-being.
• 03:00 - 05:00: Errors and Philosophy The chapter 'Errors and Philosophy' begins with a personal anecdote about the speaker’s upbringing and health practices instilled by their mother. The speaker, an only child, claims to have never been ill, attributing this to the healthy habits taught by their mother. This legacy of good health continues with their daughters and grandchildren, who also have not experienced illness. The narrator reflects on observing their father’s midnight snack, pondering the philosophical underpinning of the saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away.' This may hint at a broader discussion on traditional wisdom and its role in shaping lifestyle choices.
• 05:00 - 08:00: Personal Philosophy and Failure This chapter discusses the concept of personal philosophy and the challenges of adopting certain beliefs or habits. The speaker suggests that while some actions or philosophies are easy to understand and implement, they are just as easy to ignore or dismiss, using the example of choosing a Hershey bar. The chapter emphasizes the importance of being discerning and adopting a personal philosophy that goes beyond simple or superficial choices.
• 08:00 - 11:00: Process of Change The chapter 'Process of Change' focuses on the importance of making smart daily choices and understanding their long-term consequences. It uses the metaphor of choosing an apple a day over a Hershey bar to illustrate how small, seemingly insignificant decisions, can accumulate to lead to disaster or success. The speaker warns against underestimating the impact of poor daily decisions simply because their consequences are not immediately apparent, emphasizing the need for foresight and wisdom in evaluating the long-term effects of our actions.
• 11:00 - 12:00: Philosophy and Laws of Mind The chapter 'Philosophy and Laws of Mind' highlights the long-term consequences of errors in judgment and philosophy, underscoring the importance of evaluating current decisions by looking ahead to potential future impacts. It uses the example of choosing between an apple and a Hershey bar to illustrate the importance of making wise judgments. Errors in judgment are compared to dietary choices, emphasizing that poor choices can accumulate and lead to significant costs in terms of money, health, and success over time. The narrator reflects on having reached this realization at the age of 25.
• 12:00 - 14:00: The Law of Mind and Success The chapter 'The Law of Mind and Success' narrates the author's early struggles and turning point in life. At 19, the author began working, and by 25, he had accrued nothing substantial financially, with creditors following up on unpaid debts. Despite having a supportive family and living in America, the author found himself embarrassed and faltering behind promises made, marking a period of financial and personal low. However, meeting a mentor at 25 significantly transformed his life trajectory, setting the stage for future success.
• 14:00 - 16:00: The Law of Correspondence The author reflects on his previous belief that external factors like the community, country, and government were responsible for problems. He mentions that he blamed political parties and economic issues for the state of affairs. However, he later realized that his perspective was mistaken and acknowledged that the real issue was something more personal and internal, signifying a journey towards self-reflection and personal responsibility.
• 16:00 - 19:00: The Law of Belief The chapter delves into the impact of personal philosophy on an individual's success or failure. It highlights how errors in judgment and a lack of personal philosophy can lead to setbacks. The author shares a personal anecdote about reaching a financial low despite living in a place with abundant opportunities. The formula for failure is emphasized as being rooted in these errors and laxity in developing a strong personal philosophy.
• 19:00 - 21:00: The Law of Motivation and Values The chapter discusses the concept of accumulated disaster and emphasizes the importance of paying attention to both health and finances. It uses the example of someone with a high cholesterol level and an empty bank account to illustrate how neglecting these critical areas over a period of years can lead to adverse outcomes. The chapter conveys that ignoring important aspects of life, whether it’s your health or financial status, will result in negative consequences, even if those consequences are not immediate.
• 21:00 - 24:00: Law of Subconscious Activity This chapter discusses the importance of advancing beyond basic, 'first-grade' reasoning and making conscious, deliberate choices to avoid failure. It emphasizes that small errors in judgment, if repeated consistently, build into significant failures over time. The author suggests that success requires moving beyond simple thinking and making correct decisions consistently.
• 24:00 - 27:00: Law of Expectations The chapter titled 'Law of Expectations' explains the formula for success through consistent practice of simple disciplines every day. Choosing healthier options, like picking an apple over a candy bar, is highlighted as the beginning of life transformation. The chapter emphasizes the ripple effect of maintaining such consistent discipline across various aspects such as health habits, financial habits, communication, sales, and management practices.
• 27:00 - 31:00: Law of Concentration and Habit This chapter emphasizes the importance of concentration and habit in fostering life change. It advocates for the gradual elimination of errors in habits and replacing them with disciplined practices. The speaker encourages the audience to begin this transformative process immediately, stressing that change is a personal choice. They assure the audience that they do not need to remain unchanged if they choose to start a new path of disciplined habits.
• 31:00 - 35:00: Law of Attraction The chapter 'Law of Attraction' begins with the idea of starting simple, akin to beginning with an apple. It suggests not initiating with grand gestures but rather small actions that contribute to long-term well-being, similar to the notion of taking a walk for health. This simplicity is juxtaposed with the consequences of inaction over time, leading to 'disaster.' The language emphasizes the importance of taking action, contrasting what one 'could' or 'should' do against the outcomes of neglect and stubbornness over a period ('five years').
• 35:00 - 37:00: Law of Choice and Optimism The narrator starts by describing a difficult financial situation six years prior, where they had very little money and creditors were calling.
• 37:00 - 39:00: Law of Change The chapter 'Law of Change' discusses the concept of personal transformation despite external circumstances remaining constant. The speaker highlights that while external factors such as taxes, economy, and prices were unchanged, a significant personal change occurred, leading to wealth and life transformation. This change began with a shift in personal philosophy, indicating that internal change can drive external success.
• 39:00 - 42:00: Story of Personal Change The chapter titled 'Story of Personal Change' narrates an individual's transformative journey catalyzed by encountering a significant mentor or teacher. This encounter instigated a profound change in their thinking, resulting in a continual self-improvement process over six years. The speaker emphasizes their ongoing commitment to personal growth and mastery of their craft, desiring to maintain and enhance their proficiency continuously, so they remain influential and relevant rather than peaking in the past.
• 42:00 - 45:00: Conclusion and Success Tips The chapter emphasizes the importance of continuous self-improvement and dedication to one's craft. It uses the example of a speaker whose progress over 10 years illustrates the power of consistent effort and learning. The message is universal and applies to teenagers, parents, professionals, and business leaders alike: success comes from hard work and commitment to personal growth, no matter one's role or field.

• 10:30 - 11:00 you going to start might as well start where it's easy and then go to the more complicated discipline because if you can't handle the complicated the simple disciplines how can you handle the complicated thoughts held in mind produce after their kind what you think becomes your reality Burl Nightingale in his audio program The Strangest Secret says that you become what you think about Ral Waldo Emerson summarized this idea more than 100 years before by saying a man
• 11:00 - 11:30 becomes what he thinks about most of the time the law of mind is extremely powerful and is in many ways a basic law for explaining many of the other laws that refer to mind action the natural extension of the law of mind is the third law of success called The Law of mental equivalency this law says that your primary responsibility to yourself is to create a clear and accurate mental equivalent of what you wish to experience each dimension of your
• 11:30 - 12:00 external life if you want to be happy you need to clearly Define for yourself and create the mental equivalent or picture of exactly what happiness means to you if you wish to enjoy health and long life or happy relationships or financial prosperity you need to create in your mind an exact detailed picture of what you desire as a result of a whole series of other laws that I'll be discussing this becomes the critical starting point that begins inevitably L to lead you to the realization of your
• 12:00 - 12:30 dreams and goals the fourth law of success is called the law of Correspondence this law has been talked about for perhaps 4,000 years and it's one of the fundamental laws that explains Human Experience it simply says that as within so without it says that your outer life will tend to be a mere image of your inner life your external world will tend to correspond almost exactly to what is going on inside both your conscious and subconscious mind there are four major areas where you see
• 12:30 - 13:00 the law of Correspondence working all the time vers is simply in your attitude whatever your attitude is often before you even say anything people will reflect it back to you in the way they talk to you in the way they talk to you and treat you as within so without the second area where the law of Correspondence is evident is in your relationship your relationships will almost perfectly marry your attitude and your personality if you're a good and happy person you'll have good and happy relationships as you become a more
• 13:00 - 13:30 patient and tolerant and loving person your relationships will reflect this almost immediately very much as a mirror will do the third area of Correspondence that you see is in your health much of your health can be directly traced to specific attitudes that cause you to suffer from minor and major illnesses the extensive work that's been done in the area of holistic medicine seems to suggest that there are corresponding attitudes of mind for most illnesses that you or I suffer from the common cold and flu all the way up to the most serious illnesses that are often life
• 13:30 - 14:00 threatening whenever you're anxious or upset or unhappy for any reason for any period of time your body will begin to reflect those feelings the entire basis of psychosomatic medicine is the conclusion that your mind psycho makes your body Som sick what your mind Harbors your body eventually expresses the fourth application of the law of Correspondence is that your external world of material accomplishment will exactly correspond to your internal world of preparation the more knowledge
• 14:00 - 14:30 and skill you gain that helps you to be more effective in your work the more you will be paid you can't hope to acquire or achieve anything more on the outside until you've acquired it or achiev it on the inside the law of Correspondence Reigns Supreme the fifth law of success is the law of belief which says that whatever you believe with emotion becomes your reality you always have a tendency to act in a manner consistent with your innermost belief and convictions your beliefs in fact act
• 14:30 - 15:00 like a filter or screen that edits out incoming information and only allows into your conscious awareness the things that you've already decided are true about yourself in the world William James of Harvard said belief creates the actual fact in the Bible it says whatever a man thinketh in his heart so is he for example if you absolutely believe that you are meant to be a great success in life and that no matter what happens nothing can stop stop you from achieving the greatness that is yours you'll act
• 15:00 - 15:30 in a manner consistent with that belief and you'll eventually make it come true if you doubt your ability to be successful for any reason this negative belief will be demonstrated in your tendency to hold yourself back the most important part of the law belief is the necessity for you to question your own self limiting beliefs these are the beliefs that act like the breaks on your potential these are the nagging doubts and fears that people have about themselves and their abilities to cause them to sell themselves short when you
• 15:30 - 16:00 have self-limiting beliefs you have a tendency to sell or far less than you may be capable of self-limiting beliefs revolve around your ability to lose weight or quit smoking or earn a certain amount of money or be attractive to members of the opposite sex or develop new abilities that are more conducive to your success and happiness one of the most important steps you can take toward achieving great success is for you to question these self-limiting beliefs you might even ask others who know you well
• 16:00 - 16:30 what self-limiting beliefs they seem to think that you have that may be holding you back remember self-limiting beliefs are often used as excuses a good way to test your self-limiting beliefs is to ask yourself whether anyone else with the limitations you perceive you have has nonetheless gone on to achieve success you can also look at your own actions to decide what it is that you truly value remember it's not what you say or hope or wish or intend that is a true true expression of your values and
• 16:30 - 17:00 beliefs it's only what you do children are very aware of this and they ignore the aware of this and they ignore the advice of their parents when their parents say do as I say not as I do uh the fact is we all seem to know that a person's actions are the true reflection of their innermost convictions there's a great deal of confusion and unhappiness in the world today because many people feel that if they say something emphatically enough or right about it it means that they truly believe it but this is is
• 17:00 - 17:30 false you only truly believe what you do your actions do speak far more loudly than your words for example if you truly believe in the values of persistence and dedication it'll be evident in the things that you do every single day if you truly believe in the values of honesty and integrity and self-discipline you'll demonstrate these qualities in your every behavior in fact you can tell what a person values by looking at what did in the past when the
• 17:30 - 18:00 pressure was on it's only when they're forced to make a choice that you know what it is you really value for example when you have to choose between family or work or between money and work or between money and honesty your True Values come out the wonderful and important thing about your values is that you can develop them in yourself by disciplining yourself to act consistent with them even if you haven't yet made them takes part of your character I'll explain this later in the program the seventh law of success is the law of
• 18:00 - 18:30 motivation which says that everything you do is triggered by inner desires and urges and urges and instincts many of which may be at an unconscious level and your attitudes and behaviors will be determined by your dominant motivations by what you really want and need in life not by what you think you want this is an extension of the law of values and it's very important for you to understand there's a simple formula called the ABC formula of human motivation and Human Action the Happy C stands for antecedence
• 18:30 - 19:00 behavior and consequences the antecedence are the things that happen before the behavior behaviors are the things you do the consequences are what happens as a result of your behavior we know the psychologically only about 15% of your motivation comes from the antecedence from what you read or learn or told to do or not do however about 85% of your motivation comes from your expect what you think will happen it's your
• 19:00 - 19:30 beliefs about the consequences about the future that cause you to behave in a certain way the clearer you are about the consequences of your actions and the more intensely you desire to enjoy the consequences that your behaviors may lead to the more motivated you'll be this is why it's so important to have absolute Clarity with regard to your goals in each area of your life in order for you to be motivated to perform at your very best an important point with regard to the absy formula is that your
• 19:30 - 20:00 behaviors are not guaranteed to achieve the consequences that you desire but every Behavior or action that you engage in will generate a consequence of some kind one of the most important parts of understanding motivation and behavior is to realize that both actions and inactions have consequence what you do as well as what you fail to do will have a consequence in your future and sometimes the consequences can be dramatic and long lasting a good exercise and success is for you to write out a description of
• 20:00 - 20:30 the type of person that you'd like to be and the kind of life that you'd like to be living the most powerful faculty that you'd like to be living the most powerful faculty that you have is your ability to think your ability to understand the more accurately you can think about who you are and what you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it the more effective and successful you will be the eighth law of success is the law of subconscious activity and it has several applications the first part of this law is that whatever thought or idea mixed with emotion you hold in your conscious
• 20:30 - 21:00 mind will be accepted as a command by your subconscious mind will be accepted as a command by your subconscious mind this means that whatever thought idea or goal you can hold in your mind on a continuing basis you can have because your subconscious mind will go to work to organize all of your thoughts and actions to bring it into your reality if you desire to earn or attain a certain amount of money and you think about it continually day and night and you use every means possible to drive this desire or hope deep into
• 21:00 - 21:30 your subconscious mind your subconscious mind will begin committing more and more of its reserved capacity or bringing that goal or desire into your life the second part of the law of subconscious activity is that your subconscious mind once you give it the proper commands will trigger your reticular cortex and its function the reticular activating system your reticular cortex is a small finger like part of your brain that alerts you to a and circumstances around you that are consistent with your
• 21:30 - 22:00 dominant desires or concerns for example if you decided that you wanted to buy a red sports car this desire would signal to your we tick here cortex that red sports cars are now of Paramount importance to you from that moment on you would see red sports cars everywhere even a block away you would become extremely alert and sensitive to red sports cars as well as to the means of attaining one of them if one of your goals is to Achieve Financial Independence and you imbue this goal with intense desire your reticular
• 22:00 - 22:30 cortex will cause you to be extremely sensitive to all kinds of opportunities around you that would help you to earn more money you would hear and see things everywhere that you might have been unaware of completely in the absence of having established this go and planting it in your subconscious mind the third part of the law of subconscious activity is that your subconscious mind which controls your autonomic nervous system and all of your muscles nerves actions and and reactions also controls your
• 22:30 - 23:00 body language and your tone of voice Professor Moravian of the University of California Santa Barbara has concluded that when you communicate with others fully 55% of the message you send is contained in your body language 38% of the message you send is contained in your tone of voice and only 7% of the message you send is contained in your tone of voice and only 7% of the message is contained in the actual words that you use and your body language and Toad of voice are largely controlled by
