Almost everyone includes "As a Man Thinketh" on their lists, but I have a problem with it.
I'm sure the book is very good, but Allen himself never achieved great fame or wealth.
I know that sounds bad, but if he knew these techniques and they worked, why didn't they help him?
He barely made enough money from his writings to cover expenses...kinda strange for a guy that wrote "From Poverty To Power" isn't it?
Of course maybe he didn't want fame or wealth for himself, just others.
I can't pretend to know his mind.
So the book itself may be well worth a look.

The Master Key System was originally published as a correspondence course in 1912.
The man that wrote the book was Charles F. Haanel, an author, millionaire, entrepreneur, and businessman.
Haanel practiced what he preached and was a self made success who owned several major companies.
You can buy the book, or you can find it in full on many websites of the net.
As far as credentials for this book go, in 1919, Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) wrote a letter to Haanel thanking him for the book.
That's pretty big praise considering Think and Grow Rich has sold well over 30 million copies.

The book that kicked off the current law of attraction craze was The Secret.
Written by Rhonda Byrne, The Secret says that feelings and thoughts can attract events.
Yeah it's pretty much that simple.
Simply put, it's Ask, Believe, Receive.
The book and film both draw heavily on the old teachers of the laws of attraction.
Questions....
Ever notice that the people in the movie are all rich?
How may people do you know that read it became rich?
Just my opinion, but if I'm already a millionaire, it would be easy for me to attract more money.
Back when Steve Martin was doing just stand up, he used to have a routine in his act where he said...
"I am going to give you the secret to becoming a millionaire. It's simple, fool-proof and anyone can do it. First step...get a million dollars. Second step...."
The Secret got to the top of the New York Times bestseller list and the film reached number 1 on the sales charts on Amazon.com.
Now, out of those millions and millions of readers...how many became rich?
Did a global consciousness shift suddenly sweep the world?
Now I'm not saying the ideas in the book and movie weren't valid, but you can't take Wallace Wattles, William Walker Atkinson and Charles F. Haanel's deep thoughts, throw them in a blender and say "Look! This is perfect now!"
Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) and Neville Goddard on YouTube
If you have read any of my manifesting abundance articles online you are already familiar with the names Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard.
Well...even if you haven't read the articles, you may have heard of them anyway.
These men were giants in the area of the law of attraction long before The Secret ever came out.
I ran across some amazing videos on YouTube posted by Primeau Productions and 100kwatt by these two that I wanted to share with everyone.
As you may know, Napoleon Hill is the man that wrote the financial abundance book "Think and Grow Rich".
Napoleon was born into very humble beginnings back in 1883 and literally pulled himself up by the bootstraps.
His saying, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of the stand bys in the wealth consciousness area.
And if you have read his books, you know that his ideas laid the ground work for many others.
(Of course Charles F. Haanel's "The Master Key System" laid the ground work for Napoleon himself to follow)
In searching through YouTube, I found these clips posted by Chriss MKEY of the man himself talking about his manifesting abundance theories.
I never even knew these clips existed.
It is really cool to be able to sit down and actually hear Napoleon explain his principals.
Here is the first video.....
Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" #1 Definiteness of Purpose
Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" #2 The Master Mind Principle
The second set of clips are posted by 100kwatt, and they are audio only of Neville Goddard.
Neville Goddard was a Metaphysics teacher, that taught and lectured in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
His ideas of thinking from the end and visualizing have lead to a catch phrase in some creating wealth circles called "Nevillizing".
Again, reading his ideas are one thing, but actually hearing them is another thing altogether.
100kwatt has posted a lot of Neville's lectures, but the last two posted are really cool because they are recordings that Neville made and are very high quality and clear.
This is "How To Use Your Imagination" and "Mental Diets" that Neville recorded in 1955.
Neville Goddard How To Use Your Imagination
Neville Goddard Mental Diets
Again, you can go to 100kwatt's YouTube channel, take a look around, see the other clips and even subscribe.
While Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard may seem miles apart as far as their ideas go, I think the best thing you can do is sit down and listen for the similarities.
Like I have pointed out before, I have seen myself through observation (and a lot of trial and error) that what works for one person may not work for another.
Maybe its the individual beliefs, mindsets, ideas that cause this, but look at it this way.....
Let's say you wanted to play a musical instrument, and you picked the guitar.
You spent years practicing but you never got good.
Do you stay with that guitar, or do you try another instrument that you might be fantastic with?
So try Napoleon Hill's way to financial prosperity.
If it feels good and works...great.
If it doesn't, change up and try someone else.
Keep looking until you find what is right for you.
Well after 60 days I had to let this go.
There was no change.
Sorry.
I really wish there was.
I did the smelling money thing 6X plus times a day.
Repeating I am at one with a tremendous amount of money.
Wrote things down.
Nothing happened.
No huge sums of money came in, people didn't offer me money, my sales didn't skyrocket.
I'm really sorry.
I wish they had.
I wish I could tell you that it was incredible and that it really worked but I can't.
I don't know why though.
Her techniques were all the same ones that Neville, Joseph Murphy, Charles Hannel and Claude Bristol used.
She even used Bristol's "Mirror Technique".
True she did focus on the Heart Chakra rather than the Solar Plex that Hannel used in the Master Key, but it was the same type of exercise in the same area.
She used Neville and Murphy's "Mental Picture" technique.
I guess I thought maybe her distilled version would work.
Now I am not by any means saying that it will not work for you.
It very well could.
Evidently it has worked for a LOT of people.
I just had no luck with it...and I am just one person.
So by all means feel free to try it and if you do get good results, let us know.

The Emerald Tablet, also known as Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or The Secret of Hermes, is an ancient text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial substance and its transmutations. Its claims to be the work of Hermes Trismegistus ("Hermes the Thrice-Great"), a legendary Egyptian sage or god, variously identified with the Egyptian god Thoth and/or the Greek god Hermes. This short and cryptic text was highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art, in particular of its Hermetic tradition.
[edit] Newton's translation
One translation, by Isaac Newton, found among his alchemical papers:
1. Tis true without lying, certain & most true.
2. That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing.
3. And as all things have been & arose from one by the meditation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
4. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother,
5. The wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth its nurse.
6. The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
7. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
7a. Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.
8. It ascends from the earth to the heaven & again it desends to the earth and receives the force of things superior & inferior.
9. By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world & thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
10. Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing.
11a. So was the world created.
12. From this are & do come admirable adaptations where of the means (or process) is here in this.
13. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
14. That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished & ended.
"The Universe operates according to set laws and the co-creators need to be aware of those laws if they are to be successful in their efforts to consciously create their own reality. Keep you in mind; you are constantly creating your reality now albeit on an unconscious level. If you want to know what you think about the most, what you are emotional about and what you believe in strongly all you need to do is look at your life. Your currently reality is merely a reflection of what is occurring in your mind."
8 Steps to Solving All Financial, Relationship, Security or Health Problems
Supporting the creation of every financial, health, security or relationship problem or phenomenal success is a set of timeless universal laws that never fail or err. Not even once. Every moment unfolds under perfect laws. Knowing what these laws are and how to apply them will miraculously wipe out any problem and produce success, always.
Over the last 4,000 years or so, we have repeatedly received the exact same how-the-world-works guidance from industry barons, spiritual masters, philosophers, quantum physicists, great leaders and sages.
Here are some tips on how you can solve any financial, relationship, security or health problem:
1. Understand your world. Many Nobel Prize winning physicists have recently proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in a fraction of a second, over and over again. Nothing is solid. This is the world of Quantum Physics. They have proven that thoughts are what put together and hold together this ever-changing energy field into the ‘objects’ that we see.
2. Know the tools of creation. Your thoughts, words and actions create your experiences. You become what you think about. Albert Einstein once said that imagination is the most powerful creative force. The Bible says ‘As a man thinketh, so is he.’ Become very aware of your thoughts, and be deliberate in your thinking. There are no idle thoughts. Have vision, and stick with it.
3. Believe. Henry Ford said “Whether you think you can or can’t – either way you are right”. That is pretty much the same thing that Jesus and many others have said.
4. Understand cause and effect. The law of cause and effect is the prime law that runs the universe. It is the number one law. Every spiritual and scientific teacher has sought to teach it. They may have said you reap what you sow, or you get what you give, or what goes around comes around, or karma, or consequences, or every action has an equal and opposite reaction, or many other similar statements. Quantum physics is now teaching us how this works, exactly, on a sub-atomic level. Things get better when you get better. They get worse when you get worse. The world is all within you. You are at cause over everything that happens in your life, whether you were conscious of it or not.
In "real" life, this transformation of thought into a state of energy and then into a state of mass may translate into an experience like Lucille's. Lucille constantly thinks about driving a new red car. Unbeknownst to her, each time she thinks the thought, the thought instantly becomes energy, creative energy, which is subsequently absorbed by atoms and molecules; eventually it becomes part of a "thing" which emulates the thought. Obviously the more prevalent Lucille's thought is, the more creative energy it produces. In addition, Lucille's creative energy interacts and communicates with other energy particles, which then begin to take part in becoming the thing that is thought, which, in this case is a new, red car. Eventually Lucille's thoughts become her car.
Though the above example is rather facile, it does attempt to describe how our experiences are created. It also hints at why we have such varying types of experiences, some quite positive, while others are clearly negative. For example, the force of Lucille's creative energy theoretically created her new, red car. But what if she had simultaneously assumed that a new car would cost too much? Her thoughts would also naturally focus on the exorbitant cost of it all. Then, not only would her thoughts create the new, red car, they would also create experiences where she is charged too much interest, she buys a "lemon" that needs lots of repairs, or she ends up paying much more than she really needs to pay. Her thoughts created energy that would become what she intended or believed she would see.
