This chapter has nothing to do with the system itself and yet it has everything to do with it. As important as having an investment strategy, is having a success strategy. You might know it as a positive mental attitude, positive thinking, whatever. I see it as a burning desire to succeed, total faith in yourself. The Bible tells us that faith can move mountains and you need that kind of faith to succeed. You need an inner faith in yourself to get the most out of this system and life itself. No more preaching, just a list of books and tapes I recommend. Most of these are timeless classics that will not only benefit and delight you, but will transform you in all areas of your life.
Here are the books and tapes I recommend - most old, used
bookstores have these books at very reasonable prices: or check out my list of recommended books from Amazon Books at

I have also found many success-oriented tapes including tapes of some books I listed. Tapes are an excellent, easy, and powerful method of transforming yourself into a successful person. An excellent organization offers most these tapes. Write to:

Another excellent source of tapes is an organization called Sybervision. Write them for their catalog. They offer both personal development and sport improvement tapes. I have bought two programs from them. Write to:

If you're motivated to earn money from the system, I think you're also motivated to improve yourself and vice versa. I really believe this is necessary and so worthwhile. This is probably the best thing you can ever do for yourself. As Mark Haroldsen said so wisely in his book: "pay yourself first."
