"The Seventh Cure"
"Increase Your Ability to Earn"
( Chapter 3 of The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason paraphrased)
Today ladies, I want to talk to you about one the most important remedies for a lean Fendi purse. I will talk not about money but about yourselves, the women beneath the cute clothes who sit before me (well, in front of your computers). I want to talk to you about those things within the minds and lives of women which work for or against their success. (So did Prlinkbiz address her class upon the seventh day....)
Preceeding accomplishment must be desire. Your desires must be strong and definite. General desires are nothing but weak longings. For a woman to desire $100.00 is a tangible desire which she can make happen. After she has backed her desire for $100.00 with strength of purpose to get her hot little hands on it, next she can find similiar ways to get $1000.00 and then $2000.00 and later a $100,000.00, and then (ta da!), she has become wealthy. In learning to secure a definite small desire, she has trained herself to secure a larger one. This is the process by which wealth is accumulated: first in small sums, then in larger ones as a woman learns and becomes more capable.
Desires must be simple and definite. They defeat their own purpose if there are too many, that are too confusing, or beyond a woman's training to accomplish.
As a woman perfects her money making skillz, her ability to earn increases....
The more of wisdom we know, (meaning here the proper use of knowledge, or maybe even more importantly- the use of!) the more we may earn. That woman who seeks to learn more of her craft shall richly be rewarded. If she is an artisan, she may want to learn methods and tools of those most skillful in the same line. If she is in law or medicine, she may consult and exchange knowledge with others of her same field. If she be a retailer, she may continually seek better goods that can be purchased at lower prices.....
Many things come to make a woman's life rich with gainful experiences. Such things as the following, a woman must do if she respects herself:
She must pay her debts, bills etc. with all the promptness within her power, not purchasing that for which she is unable to pay (avoiding bad debt).
She must take care of her family that they may think and speak well of her. She must make a Will that, in case it's her time to go to the great Spa in the Sky, proper and honorable division of her property will be accomplished.
She must have compassion upon those who are injured and smitten by misfortune and aid them within reasonable limits (hand up, not hand out). She must do deeds of thoughtfulness to those dear to her.
So, the seventh and last remedy for a lean Fendi purse is to cultivate your own powers, to study and become wiser, to become more skillful, to so act as to respect yourself. Then will you have confidence in yourself to achieve your carefully considered desires.
These are the seven cures for a lean Fendi purse, which out of the experience of a long and successful life, I do urge for all ladies who desire wealth.
