Welcome to the MLM Success Blog!

Today, we will be looking at chapter one of one of the greatest books ever written. Hopefully you read the intro yesterday to this topic of discussion where I posed the question: Are Christians Allowed to Be Wealthy? If you want to get a better understanding of why I chose that introduction, you can go back and read that post before going any further. It will help to shed some light on what we will be discussing the next 2 weeks (depending on participation).

The book I have been hiding from you is none other than Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich. Are you surprised? If you’ve read the book then you may have already anticipated that it would be the book I would be referencing throughout this developmental series. If you have yet to read this book, you are missing out on an awesome educational tool. But don’t you fret, we will go through every single chapter of this masterpiece novel.

Chapter 1 – The Right to Be Rich

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No person can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money. In order to unfold the soul and develop talent he must have many things to use, and he can not have these things unless he has money to buy them with.

I met a young lady from the Philippines about eight or nine months ago. She was one of the smartest individuals I had ever met. She was the breadwinner in the family, expected to provide for her mother, father, brother and sisters. However, she had been dealt a bad hand. Her family was poor and jobs were scarce. Even with a college degree she could not land a reasonable paying job. Therefore, she was forced to do what many unfortunate women are led to do.. and I will leave that for you to figure out.

Bottom-line, this very smart girl could have lived a better life had her family not been poor.. if they only had more money! You know, I have spoken to many young women of the years that have shared with me similar stories. All of them full of potential.. none of them full of money.

A person’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfolding – in other words, his right to be rich.

It is everyone’s right to be rich. And it’s not a selfish act to want to have more. By having more you are able to develop more. By having more you are able to give more. By having more you are able to love more. It all centers around your ability to acquire wealth.

A person cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, warm shelter, and freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life.

He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship. To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.

Personally, I have lived a life that has been much better than many. Because of this, I count my blessings every single day. However.. Does this mean I should be content with what I have accumulated thus far? Not at all! There are still many hearts to be won and lots of traveling left to do. This is only the beginning of a really long journey to win-over souls. My Father in heaven has blessed me with a talent of connecting with people. In order for me to continue carrying the message and providing hope and inspiration to my brothers and sisters, it’s going to require that I make more money.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich. If you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the science of getting rich because it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God, and to humanity. You can render God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.

We have come to the conclusion of chapter one, Your Right to Be Rich. I hope that through this message you have an understanding that being rich is your God-given right. By creating massive wealth you will be able to live a more abundant life.. You will be able to live a complete life.. And you will be able to help others do the same.

Tomorrow we will discuss Chapter 2 – There is a Science of Getting Rich. I hope to see you back here on the same bat-channel at the same bat-time.

God Bless,
Barry O. Canada
