#145: Unpacking The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles - Chapter 14: The Impressions of Increase and the Power of Shared Success

Can you truly attract abundance into your life by conveying the impression of increase to others?

In this episode, I explore into Chapter 14 of Wallace D. Wattles' classic work, "The Science of Getting Rich," written back in 1910.

This marks the conclusion of my four-part series on this influential book.

Wattles' insights continue to resonate even a century later. Success writer Bob Proctor recommends reading specific chapters from this book, including Chapter 14, for 90 days to reprogram your mind for success. In this final chapter,

Wattles emphasizes the importance of conveying the impression of advancement in everything you do and inspiring others with your unshakable faith in your own journey towards success. By doing so, you not only attract people to you but also motivate them to seek their own success.

Wattles reminds us that the desire for increased wealth is not negative; it's the aspiration for a more abundant life in all aspects.

The key takeaway is that when you genuinely desire success for yourself and others, people will be drawn to your energy and want to be associated with you.

If you're inspired by these ideas, consider reading the book and applying Wattles' principles in your life for 90 days to witness the transformation.

So far as your business consists in dealing with other men, whether personally or by letter, the key thought of all your efforts must be to convey to their minds the impression of increase. Those are the words of Wallace Waddle's, written in 1910 in his book the Science of Getting Rich. It comes from chapter 14, which is the final chapter that I'm unpacking in this four-part series that I've had this week on the Science of Getting Rich. In today's episode we talk about chapter 14, the impression of increase. Welcome to. Every Day A New Thought. I'm Thor Challgren. On this podcast. Every day I look at a new thought, share a new perspective. As I said, I am finishing a series this week I've done on Wallace Waddle's book, the Science of Getting Rich. This was written in 1910 and has been hugely influential over the last hundred years. Many people cite this book and probably the books, many books that you're familiar with also read this before they wrote their work. So Wallace Waddle's, I believe, was someone that was, if not ahead of his time, very influential. The success writer and author Bob Proctor said that if you did nothing else for 90 days but read four specific chapters from this book, you could reprogram your mind for success, and those chapters are four, seven, eleven and fourteen. In the previous three episodes of this series I talked about each one of those. You can go back and listen to those. I'll put those in the show description.

But today I'm finishing with chapter 14, which, as I said, is the impression of increase. I'm going to read a few quotes from this and then unpack them and sort of get us to a landing place for this particular book in this series. Waddle says in this chapter he says the normal desire for increased wealth is not an evil or a reprehensible thing. It is simply the desire for more abundant life. It is aspiration and because it is the deepest instinct of their natures, all men and women are attracted to him who can give them more of the means of life. So I want to go back to the idea and I've mentioned this before that he's not talking about just material riches. So I think that's why he's saying the desire for increased wealth isn't a bad thing. He's saying that everyone wants increase, everyone wants a better life, they want more abundance, they want more expansion, they want more joy, better relationships, better health. So what he's saying is people will be attracted to the person who can give that to them. So how do you do that? That's what I love about him is he always gives you like okay. So that's a great point. How do you do it?

Thor Challgren: 3:21

He says in this next quote how you do it, he says convey the impression of advancement with everything you do, so that all people shall receive the impression that you are an advancing man and that you advance all who deal with you. You can convey this impression by holding the unshakable faith that you yourself are in the way ie moving toward increase and by letting this faith inspire, fill and permeate every action. So he's saying the way that you accomplish this and this seems like a no-brainer is if you yourself are successful and you convey to everyone that you are on the process to succeed. Think about it we want to be around people who are successful. We want that energy to be our own energy. So what he's saying is if you look at every single thing you do and don't ever look at anything as being beneath, you do a great job at everything and people will notice that and then they'll say I want to be around that person. That person has something that I want to get something from. So he's saying that when you feel that you are getting rich and you know that you are, and again, rich as in, successful in all areas of life. But he says, by doing so, other people are going to look at you and think I can do the same thing. So he's saying, you have to impress on others that by associating with you they're going to get that success for themselves.

He closes this chapter with a quote, and I'll just read this. He says no better statement of the principle of creative action can be formulated than the favorite declaration by the late golden rule Jones of Toledo. And here's the quote what I want for myself, I want for everybody. What I want for myself, I want for everybody. I think this is really the foundation to this particular chapter is when you want this success for yourself, you should want it for everybody. You should want everyone around you to increase and that genuine desire that you have, people will pick up on that and they'll want to be associated with you.
