Getting rich isn’t about luck or privilege. It’s a repeatable process, like baking a cake—if you follow the formula, you get results.

Getting Rich Is a Science

Never look at the visible supply; always look at the limitless riches in formless substance.

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it.

All wealth begins in the formless substance—what he calls the thinking stuff of the universe. Your thoughts shape your reality.

Thought Is the Starting Point

It’s not enough to just think—you have to think a certain way. That means holding a clear, unwavering vision of what you want, with faith and purpose.

Think in a Certain Way

Don’t just daydream—do the work. But not frantic or scattered work. Take purposeful action right where you are, using all you’ve got.

Act in a Certain Way

Gratitude connects you to the Source. It keeps you aligned with abundance instead of lack. Make it a daily, sincere practice.The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best.

Gratitude Supercharges the Process

You’re not here to fight over limited pieces of the pie. You’re here to make new pies. Creation, not competition, is the way to wealth.

Don’t Compete—Create

Avoid fear, doubt, or envy. These pull you back to the competitive plane. Stay focused, optimistic, and aligned with purpose.

Stay on the Creative Plane

Don’t wait to become rich to start thinking and acting like a rich person. Hold the mindset now. Be confident, calm, and generous.

Think Rich, Act Rich

You’re not meant to chase money for its own sake. Wealth is a tool for growth—for you and those around you. Use it well.

Wealth Is for Expansion of Life

Wattles is clear: you’re not greedy for wanting wealth. It’s part of living fully—spiritually, mentally, and physically.

You Have the Right to Be Rich

You do not have to get something somebody else has. You are to create what you want.

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; and you must hold this picture in your thoughts.
