Whatever Your Mind can Conceive and Believe, it Can Achieve.
"You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!"

THIS is a course on the fundamentals of Success. Success is very largely a matter of adjusting one's self to the ever-varying and changing environments of life, in a spirit of harmony and poise. Harmony is based upon understanding of the forces constituting one's environment; therefore, this course is in reality a blueprint that may be followed straight to success, because it helps the student to interpret, understand and make the most of these environmental forces of life.

Lesson by lesson, the following is a statement of that which you may expect to receive from the Fifteen Laws of Success: A DEFINITE CHIEF AIM, SELF-CONFIDENCE, HABIT OF SAVING, INITIATIVE AND LEADERSHIP, IMAGINATION, ENTHUSIASM, SELF-CONTROL, THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR, PLEASING PERSONALITY, ACCURATE THINKING, CONCENTRATION.

The student of this course is warned against passing judgement upon it before having read the entire sixteen lessons. This especially applies to this Intriduction, in which it has been necessary to include brief reference to subjects of a more or less technical and scientific nature. The reason for this will be obvious after the student has read the entire sixteen lessons. The student who takes up this course with an open mind, and sees to it that his or her mind remains "open" until the last lesson shall have been ready, will be richly rewarded with a broader and more accurate of life as a whole.

This course is the result of careful analysis of the life-work of over one hundred men and women who have achieved unusual success in their respective callings. The author of the course has been more than twenty years in gathering, classifying, testing and organizing the Fifteen Laws upon which the course is based. In his labor he has received valuable assistance either in person or by studying the life-work of the following men: Henry Ford Edward Bok, Thomas A. Edison, Harvey S. Firestone, John D. Rockefeller, Woodrow Wilson, Wm. Wrigley, William Howard Taft, Dr. Elmer Gates, Captain George M. Alex- ander (To whom the author was formerly an assistant), Edwin C. Barnes, Andrew Carnegie, Marshall Field, Elbert Hubbard, Theodore Roosevelt, and many more.
