How to Guarantee Your Success
"In life, the only real guarantee of survival is abundance." -- L. Ron Hubbard from Self Analysis
For example, George needs $3000 per month to pay his bills and he earns that same amount from his job: $3000 per month. As a result, George is stressed and at risk. He cannot guarantee that he'll have $3000 to pay his bills every month.
He may get sick and miss work for a week. His company may ask him to reduce his hours. He may have forgotten about his tax bill and actually needs $3500 per month.
Donna also needs $3000 per month, but before she allowed her monthly needs to grow to $3000 per month, she figured out how to earn $8000 per month. If she misses a week of work or needs to give her sister an emergency loan, she can do it.
Even though she can afford a fancier apartment or a new car, she keeps her monthly needs at $3000 per month. When it comes to money, she is relaxed and confident. Her chances of survival are much better than George's.
The greater your abundance, the more likely your success is guaranteed. Salesman Pete needs to sell 10 cars per week to keep his favorite work shift. He plans on how to sell 30 cars per week. By working hard to sell 30, he always gets at least 10.
Executive Chris absolutely needs to be in New York for a meeting tomorrow morning. She makes a flight reservation on two different airlines. She has no stress when driving to the airport. As soon as she takes off with her first flight, her assistant cancels the extra flight.
Computer programmer Nick loses a full day of production when his old computer crashes and burns out forever. To increase his chances of success, he buys two identical computers. He installs his software programs on both computers. He keeps his files synchronized so if one computer ever fails, his production never stops.
Marci wants to get married, but after breaking up with the first boyfriend last year and breaking up with the second boyfriend this year, she decides to make a change. Instead of going out with just one fellow at a time, she decides to form friendships with five gentlemen. Within a few months, Marci is engaged to be married.
If you need one job, apply for 10. If you want to find the perfect house, go look at 25 houses. If you want to lose 10 pounds, dedicate yourself to lose 30 pounds.
If you want a stable career, learn twice as many skills as you need. If you need three hours for an important project, schedule five hours. If you need one great assistant, hire three.

1. Write down what you need to succeed. As well as your financial needs, what else do you need?
2. Ask yourself, "How can I get three to ten times more than what I need?"
3. Plan how to get that extra abundance and go for it.
Only with this abundance is your success is guaranteed.
