“Money…What it is and How to Have Plenty of It”

Recently I came across an out of print book titled “If you Can Count to Four” by JB Jones. Jones was a mentor to Earl Shoaf and Jim Rohn (who was one of Tony Robbins’ mentors).

I’ve read a large number of self-help books, and this is one of the best. I love the simplicity of his message. He studied Napoleon Hill a lot-and it shows.

Chapter 6 contains Jones’ explanation of money. This is one of the simplest and most profound chapters on money that I’ve ever read. Here are the major points of the chapter:

1. Money is a symbol of something that is real. Money is not real itself.

2. Money is a medium of exchange.

3. Money is a container, a warehouse into which we store “units of service.” This is a critical point.

4. Money isn’t service, it’s a symbol of service. The real thing is service.

5. Every person of normal intellect has an unlimited capacity to render service. Since you are reading this, you have an unlimited capacity to render useful service.

6. We can have plenty of money if we take our attention away from money (the symbol) and become an expert in rendering a quality and quantity of service to humanity.

7. It is our privilege to use our intelligence to find a channel of service which we enjoy so much that we would be willing to serve in it without financial compensation.

8. To increase your money (the symbol), increase the quality and quantity of your units of service. The trick is to find ways to serve that are in excess of the amount of manual labor that you are able to do. For example, if you write a book, you write it once. But (if you do it well), it can serve others forever. Napoleon Hill has been “serving” humanity through his book “Think and Grow Rich” since 1937. And his other writings-even though he passed away in 1970-41 years ago. Henry Ford still “serves” humanity through the Ford Motor Company which he establised in the early 1900′s.

When I started my Power Affirmations website about 11 years ago, I was establishing a “channel of sincere service” even though I didn’t really think of it in those terms. And in my case, my website is providing service to others 24 hours a day, 7 days a week even when I am sleeping, eating, playing, or doing anything else. It’s a tireless “machine” that I’ve set up that is always serving others all around the world-quality and quantity.

What system can you set up to provide a quality and quantity of service to others that is always working-even when you aren’t?

9. You must combine your desire and willingness to serve with a sincere desire to help (to serve) others. Napoleon Hill expressed the formula this way: Q + Q + PMA (Quantity + Quality + a Positive Mental Attitude).

Keep in mind this book is 246 pages long and has 20 chapters. So this is a very simple summary of what he has to say in only two chapters. The book is out of print, so I can’t tell you where to get it. I suggest that you search the internet to see if you can find a copy.

What does all of this have to do with Power Affirmations? Everything. The purpose of my Power Affirmations is to establish thought habits so that you and I automatically take the actions necessary for success. Jones speaks a lot in the book about the conscious and subconscious minds. And about using the conscious mind to influence the subconscious mind so that you think positive, productive thoughts and take effective, inspired actions towards your goals. The recordings I have created are simple way to do exactly this.
