It is a psychological fact that 90% of our mental
power is never or seldom used. Therefore, most men
have the power to achieve ten times as much as they
ever accomplish.
This chart will tell you exactly where you stand,
what you are accomplishing, and what you can
accomplish if you make the necessary effort.

Mental product is about your self worth. Are
you cashing in on it? Are you getting full value
for it? Estimate the value of what you have to
SELL - your knowledge, experience, energy - and
if you are marketing it at its full rate, give
yourself 100%. If you are getting half of what
it is worth give yourself 50%.
Health. If you can eat well, sleep well, take
a reasonable amount of recreation and attend to
your business, profession and household duties
without any consideration for the state of your
health, give yourself 100%. But if your body needs
constant attention and you are continually worried
about what to eat or what not to eat etc, then
deduct from the 100%. If you think your health is
90% or if you are only 50% efficient, then put it
down. Be absolutely fair.
Time efficiency. If you work 8 hours, sleep 8 hours
and use 8 hours for recreation, study and self
improvement, all the time is fully utilized, give
yourself 100%. But if any part of the 8 hours should
you spent in idleness, gossip or any form of mental
dissipation; cut your percentage accordingly.
Creative Power. If most persons whom you meet do
what you want them to do; if they feel toward you as
you wish them to feel; if they think what you want
them to think, then give yourself 100%, for everything
we get must come from others. There is no other channel
by which success can reach us. If, however, you have
to make a tremendous effort when you wish to accomplish
something, if you have to fret and worry, cut your
percentage down to 50% or 40% or even less, because you
do not understand the principle involved.
Concentration. Can you concentrate and focus? Do
you know what it means to concentrate? Can you direct
the thought to any problem that may arise for 5, 10,
15 minutes without getting distracted? Be careful to
give yourself exactly the percentage to which you feel
you are entitled.
Now strike an average. See where you stand. If you
are a little above average, your chart will look
like this:

Assuming you are earning $24,000 a year and that
you feel that your mental product should be worth
$48,000 a year, which is the basis for your
calculation, then any method which would assist
you to increase your earning power to $48,000 a
year would be worth $24,000 a year to you.
Again any method that would bring you health,
efficiency in your time, efficiency in your
creative power or increase your ability to
concentrate would be worth at least $24,000 a
year to you.
The "Mind Power Special Reports" is a system

You will see - you must see! - that our thoughts
manifest into things and that once we enter into

will bring about positive radical changes in our lives.
