The Politics of Success

A workshop in the practical application
of New Thought principles.
The Politics of Success® is a strategy of self-government, which aligns one’s internal powers of command to support masterful accomplishment in all areas of purposeful endeavor:
Relationship Supply (material means and possessions)
Vocation Well-being (physical/mental/emotional/spiritual)
The Politics of Success® acknowledges that in the realm of my own self’s dominion, I am an absolute majority of one, a sovereign individual in command of my own destiny. By mindfully motivating my powers of self-command, I transcend all obstacles to the effective realization of my heart-felt intentions, while securing my self-dominion from any diminishment by others.
The Politics of Success® features a unique version of the “Master Mind” motivation process, first practiced by Andrew Carnegie and subsequently publicized in Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich. This new approach to Master Minding powerfully assures the effective outcome of all heart-felt intentions to succeed.
Weekly Politics of Success® sessions can be offered by your church as a community outreach program that increases its income and the quality and quantity of its membership. A reasonably priced four-hour workshop is available for training your church leadership, practitioners and staff, which includes follow-up telephone and e-mail consultations.

The word “success” is defined as “accomplishment of purpose.” “Politics” is defined as “the exercise of authority and government.” Thus the politics of success is one’s exercise of authority and self-governance for effective accomplishment of one’s purposes. Defined most simply, the politics of success is the politics of self-dominion, the politics of being one’s own person.
Self-dominion is my sovereign individuality, the authority inherent in the one-of-a-kindness of my being. No one else is as well prepared as I am for what my one-of-a-kindness moves me to be, have and do:
Nothing new under the sun?
I am proof this is not so.
No matter what's been done before,
or thought before,
I am the one who is doing and thinking right now.
Never before has the universe happened
just the way I do.
There is always something new under the sun
whenever someone new is doing it.
In my life and through my hands
the universe is taking shapes it has never had before.
The Politics of Success® motivates my own authority and self-governance – my self-dominion – for the effective accomplishment of purposes unique to my one-of-a-kindness, the consequences of which no one else can master. Just as I am unable to accomplish another’s purpose, neither can another accomplish mine.
I am here to be of consequence,
to be more than my parents' child,
a mere outcome of the latest in a series of thousands of matings
between persons almost all of whom I never knew,
and none of whom I can ever know as well as I already know myself.
I am here to be of consequence,
to be more than a reaction or response
to other people and institutions
whose self-appointed or established purpose
is to shape, direct, instruct or otherwise conform me
to a pre-existing set of expectations.

I am here to be of consequence,
to be more than an extension
of prevailing trends and fashions,
of teachings, preachments and ideologies,
of wisdom handed down,
of reasons handed over,
of meanings that last only for a season.
I am here to be of consequence,
to be more than the caretaker
of the things that I possess,
the thoughts that I profess,
and the feelings that I express.
More than all of these,
I am here to be my own consequence,
to be all that became possible
when the universe chose to be itself
as me.
The Politics of Success® are governed far less by what I do than by that for which I am here, which is to be my own person via my fullest realization of – i.e., by making real – my one-of-a-kind endowment of being and its corresponding purpose.
Being One’s Own Person
Wherever we look, we see the universe expanding as it everywhere proliferates and regenerates itself in numbers and varieties of expression, while yet never exactly reproducing itself in any previous form. The cosmic energy of creation – which some call “life” and others attribute to “God” – is intentional of its own uniqueness of expression: “Behold, I make all things new.”
This intentionally endowed uniqueness – the “something new” of each species and of each individual member thereof – destines every creature to be the consequence of its own self-expression.
The word “ex-press” literally means to “press outward” – to expand from within. The energy of creation must and will express itself in any and all circumstances. Within each one of us, as within all living creatures, this energy forever seeks new outlets for and outcomes of its self-expression. Accordingly, each of my intentions is driven by the cosmic energy of creation within me!

I manage the energy of creation most effectively by mindfully directing it toward the fulfillment of specific intentions. Giving mindful motivation to my intentions is the essence of effective self-dominion.
On behalf of such motivation, The Politics of Success® applies fundamental New Thought principles to the practical accomplishment of one’s highest intentions and the fulfillment of one’s deepest sense of purpose.
Intentioneering with the Master Mind
There is a single mind common to all individual men.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cosmic intelligence acknowledged by Emerson was named “the Master Mind” by Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie was convinced that its creative energy can be mindfully mastered for the accomplishment of one’s purposes. He attributed his own great accomplishment to the alignment of his vocational intentions with the Master Mind’s creative impulsion. His practice of doing so was featured in the most popularly received success book of all time, Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.
Master Minding was subsequently refined by Jack Boland, a virtuoso of self-dominion. The Politics of Success® incorporates a further refinement of Master Minding for the intentioneering of goals and objectives via their alignment with the universal energy of creation. Just as engineering assures the success of an invention, so does intentioneering assure one’s successful employment of the inventive impulse itself. It is in the Master Minding of one’s aim that one’s hitting of a target is most effectively accomplished.
