You Can Make Millions and Billions Today.

"I studied the lives of great men and famous women," and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work." ex-President Harry S. Truman

Here is an article I came across today and it is worth sharing. It is written by John Paul Getty, the world's first American oil billionaire. It is an excerpt from the book "How to be Rich."


There are no absolutely safe or sure-fire formulas for achieving success in business. Nonetheless, I believe that there are some fundamental rules to the game which, if followed, tip the odds for success very much in the businessman's favour. These are rules which I've applied throughout my entire career—and which every millionaire businessman with whom I am acquainted has followed. The rules have worked for them—and for me. They'll work for you, too.


1. Almost without exception, there is only one way to make a great deal of money in the business world—and that is in one's own business. The man who wants to go into business for himself should choose a field which he knows and understands. Obviously, he can't know everything there is to know from the very beginning, but he should not start until he has acquired a good, solid working knowledge of the business.

2. The businessman should never lose sight of the central aim of all business—to produce more and better goods or provide more and better services to more people at lower cost.

3. A sense of thrift is essential for success in business. The businessman must discipline himself to practice economy wherever possible, in his personal life as well as his business affairs. "Make your money first—then think about spending it," is the best of all possible credos for the man who wishes to succeed.

4. Legitimate opportunities for expansion should never be ignored or overlooked. On the other hand, the businessman must always be on his guard against the temptation to over expand or launch expansion programs blindly, without sufficient justification and planning. Forced growth can be fatal to any business, new or old.

5. A businessman must run his own business. He cannot expect his employees to think or do as well as he can. If they could, they would not be his employees. When "The Boss" delegates authority or responsibility, he must maintain close and constant supervision over the subordinates entrusted with it.

6. The businessman must be constantly alert for new ways to improve his products and services and increase his production and sales. He should also use prosperous periods to find the ways by which techniques may be improved and costs lowered. It is only human for people to give little thought to economies when business is booming. That, however, is just the time when the businessman has the mental elbow room to examine his operations calmly and objectively and thus effect important savings without sacrificing quality or efficiency. Many businessmen wait for lean periods to do these things and, as a result, often hit the panic button and slash costs in the wrong places.

7. A businessman must be willing to take risks—to risk his own capital and to lose his credit and risk borrowed money as well when, in his considered opinion, the risks are justified. But borrowed money must always be promptly repaid. Nothing will write finis to a career faster than a bad credit rating.

8. A businessman must constantly seek new horizons and untapped or under-exploited markets. As I've already said at some length, most of the world is eager to buy American products and know-how; today's shrewd businessman looks to foreign markets.

9. Nothing builds confidence and volume faster or better than a reputation for standing behind one's work or products. Guarantees should always be honored—and in doubtful cases, the decision should always be in the customer's favor. A generous service policy should also be maintained. The firm that is known to be completely reliable will have little difficulty filling its order books and keeping them filled.

10. No matter how many millions an individual amasses, if he is in business he must always consider his wealth as a means for improving living conditions everywhere. He must remember that he has responsibilities toward his associates, employees, stockholders—and the public.


Do you want to make a million? Believe me, you can— if you are able to recognize the limitless opportunities and potentials around you and will apply these rules and work hard. For today's alert, ambitious and able young men, all that glitters truly can be gold.

Create Your Own Future.

Inspiring quote

"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves." Thomas Edison

Inspiring question
Why don't I do all the things I am capable of doing? Do I believe I am capable?

Let's suppose you recognize yourself as highly capable and you did all you were capable of doing. What would it look like, what would you have achieved, what would you have become and what would you be doing by now? The results would be really amazing, beyond your imagination. You would literally be surprised of yourself.

According to the research, the average people use only 10% or 3% of their brain capacity and scientists like Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison could use only 12% of their capacity. This information teaches us that we can stretch ourselves further and further.

Majority of people don't believe they are highly capable of doing anything worthwhile. They think people can do many impossible things, they wish for others but they never consider that they can as well do.

If poor people use their strength, time and mind in a right way, they can overcome from poverty and enjoy the great rewards of the world. If the governments of the world act cohesively they can put easily the maximum and best use of the natural resources for the betterment of their citizens.

Anybody can create their own unique lifestyle, if they truly know what they want. Almost all things are within our reach to be somebody valuable or successful.

The Inner Games of Success

People who are very successful and rich in their own unique ways became a great success because they played the inner of games of success. Before accomplishing their dreams in the world outside, they first achieved it in their inner mind. Through the continuous process of imaging and visualization, they impregnated their minds and the subconscious mind was able to deliver them what they wanted.

I have a great respect for Bill Gates because he played the inner games of success first in his mind before placing the Microsoft in every desktop. He was a multi-billionaire before he became a billionaire. Think of any successful personality in any field and you will find the same truth repeated again and again. But those who use their conscious mind alone, never fully understand how the subconscious mind is able to make one a great success.

The successful people think continuously and their thoughts remain always the same - about the particular idea. They win great name, fame and wealth by first winning in their inner mind. There are so many men and women who have accomplished what others think impossible by playing the inner games of success. People born in utter poverty, transformed their lives and living today a satisfied life of success, abundance and richness.

If you want to be successful, write down all that you want to accomplish during your life time and read it morning, afternoon and evening, whenever you can see it and feel it. You will be surprised to learn that your conditioning will work certainly.

It is not enough to say in words or affirmations but it is important to use the images and feelings because subconscious mind understands images and feelings and it works upon them.

So, you want a success, then play the inner games of success in your mind. The subconscious mind has power but conscious mind has no power to convert those dreams into reality. Therefore use your visualization to affirm what you truly want.

By playing the inner games of success, you can achieve academic success, political success, business success, financial success, relationship success, material success and many more things that you may desire.

The Earth Has Enough For All!

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed." - Mahatma Gandhi

Humans have been living on this earth for centuries and yet we have not learned to live abundantly with each other. Some have too much to consume, some have moderate wealth while others have very little to survive. Why there is a big disparity existing amidst us?

Mahatma Gandhi, a great leader of 20th century observed that earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not enough to satisfy every man's greed. How true it is.

The global financial recession in the first decade of 21st century has rocked the world so much because of greed factor. The bankers became greedy of making more profits from borrowers and the banks made the credit available to home buyers unintelligently. The financial institutes consumed with greed to maximize their returns wrongly speculated the market. They inflated the economy with unreal money supply and that has caused double digit inflation or rather it is a deflation.

Over the centuries, the earth has provided enough for all and it has never run out of resources. How can money which is only a fiat currency guaranteed by respective governments of the nations control the fate of human happiness, existence and security? Why not invent a 'Financial Technology' to solve the crisis? There is indeed something fishy that is not fully revealed to the masses. Financial business transactions by banks appear to be not so transparent. It seems that the banks are not regulated well by the governments today or the banks are not part of any nation building rather they are creators of fake currencies or the recessions.

Why haven't we succeeded in eliminating poverty from the face of earth? If governments can print trillions of dollars, how we haven't solved the financial problems of people? In my opinion, the governments of the world, and not individual entities should own the banking systems. If they do this, 75% to 85% of world financial crisis could be easily contained and the world would have become a better living place on earth.

There would be enough for all and nobody would go hungry, thirsty, shelter-less or penniless. The earth will feed all because it has every man's need.

Get out of the garden of security, comfort and laziness!

Ever since the foetus is conceived in the womb, it is a world where all the richness, abundance, prosperity, growth, comforts, security are experienced like no other world. For nine months, the foetus lives in the womb of abundance, richness, comfort and security and the foetus grows at its own speed and time.

Once the baby is grown up and ready to face the real world, the baby is thrown out in the real world where he has to overcome many challenges, where his mission in life becomes to find the same richness, comfort and security that he experienced in the womb.

In the book of Genesis in the Bible, God throws out Adam and Eve from the garden of Gethsemane where all the abundant fruit, comfort and security was available. They did not have to work rather they were provided with. But God never wanted his creation to live in laziness, and undisciplined life because the humans would never learn, grow and expand. God then decided to commit themselves to mistakes and thus they were sent out of the garden of abundance, comfort and security and gave a mission to find the promised land of abundance, comfort and security for the rest of their life.

Outside the garden they had to look for that same abundance, comfort and security that they had in the garden.

The story gives us a message that we have already lived and experienced abundant, comfortable and secured life in our mothers’ wombs just before being tossed into the real world to find the same abundance, comfort and security outside.

Therefore the goal of human beings on earth is to find the abundance, comfort and security and live in that world, which is within our reach.

People Master Their Skills Through Repetition!

If you ask me what is one of the best ways for people to improve their skills? My reply would be: Repetition. Human beings learn important life skills through the art of repetition.

Right from the early childhood to full maturity, people learn to acquire skills by means of repetition. A child learns to hold an object or throw a ball not once or twice; the baby continues the process till he or she masters it. In other words, repetition is the mother of all learnings. There are other ways people learn too but here I will focus on just repetition.

The FIFA world cup 2010 is being played presently and probably you have been watching the match. There are great and best soccer players competing with each other to win the cup for their respective countries. And these best players didn't become a great player overnight just by kicking the football once. These great players mastered their soccer skills by means of repetition. They learned to kick and dribble the ball many times. They repeated the same process of kicking and dribbling the ball accurately and as a result they became best players.

Almost all best sportsmen from any sports acquired their sporting skills by repetition and repetition happened by practising over and over again. So it is quite clear to note that things don't just happen by chance. Miracles happen when something is done regularly.

The same way, singers or musicians improve their musical skills through learning over and over again. The best singer masters the skills over a long period of time. It requires continuous efforts to become the best singer or a musician.

If anybody wants to become something or somebody, he or she has to repeat the process of learning over a long period of time, till he or she qualifies by acquiring those skills. Anybody can acquire any skills provided they invest enough time repeatedly.

People encounter failures in businesses and relationships too. But these failures have positive strength to make a man or a woman expert in business or relationship. Expertise comes when people experience certain things more often. So never ever give up when any setback attacks you. You must know that the events occur only to strengthen you.

The great Inventors sowed the seed of inventions and have enriched human life on earth

Six thousand years of recorded history, one thing stands out tall is the inventions of the great inventors who sowed their seeds (mind, intelligence, talents) to enrich human life on this planet deserve our thanks, appreciation and respect. They planted the trees and we, the present generation are reaping the yields and enjoying them.

We were not there to witness how our ancestors coped with very hot and very cold weather, but we can know through the use of our imagination that life wasn't easy to survive. They had to face many types of unpredictable weather conditions, storms, heat waves, sickness, hunger etc.

In contrast to old times, today we have air conditioners to cool us in the extreme hot weather and heaters to warm us in cold weather in the comfort of our own house. This one simple invention has made our life easy and comfortable. We have incorporated this invention in several usages of human life. When we step out of our home and office or when we board the plane we use this invention. We may think today it is a luxury to have all that and enjoy such benefits because of our great inventor Willis Haviland Carrier who received his 'flash of genuis' while waiting for a train and thinking in his mind the problem of temperature and humidity control. By the time the train arrived, Carrier had an understanding of the relationship between temperature, humidity and dew point.What a great honour to thank and respect him.

Take for an instance how the invention of computer, telephone, aeroplanes, medicines etc. have enriched human life today. All these inventions were not available for our ancestors but the dedicated efforts of those inventors have made it possible for us to live a better life today.

All the inventors deserve our heartfelt thanks, appreciation and honour. What we need to do today is to invent or use our mind, our imagination to make human life a blissful one for all.
