The Science of Success

The Science of Success by James Arthur Ray
Book summary by David Wisener

Research and my own personal experience have
shown me that when people consistently do not
succeed, its not because they arent smart, or
because they dont work hard, or because they
arent lucky. Its because they simply dont
understand how success works.
James A. Ray

  identity, expectations, attitudes, habits,
  decisions, opinions, and thought patterns about
  ourselves, others, and how life works.

  does not know the
• difference between fantasy and reality
  our mindset resides here

• THOUGHTS FEELINGS ACTIONS RESULTS
• If you want to change your results, you must
  first change your mindset/thinking.

12
2 The Power of Mindsets (paradigms)

• - To get rid of old ways of thinking, you must
  gradually fill your mind with new ideas, and you
  must do so continually and consistently!
  Eventually, they will become conviction in your
  life. (ex. dirty glass of water)
• - To change our lives, we must cut a new path.
  As you begin your journey, remember these things

  under any and all
• circumstances.
• 2.) Make your new mindset as clear, strong,
  deep, and

  what

  the picture not
• just an observer looking at it.

To ignore the power of paradigms to
influence your judgment is to put yourself at
risk when exploring the future. To be able to
shape your future, you have to be ready and able
to change your paradigm.
Joel Arthur Baker

3 The Power of Vision

• - A vision is your mental picture of the life
  you want to lead.

  your goals, and goals

  your vision.

  make suggestions, but
• the final decision is up to you.
• - Three levels of vision
• 1.) What you want to BE.
• 2.) What you want to DO.
• 3.) What you want to HAVE.

  our greatest motivator and it drives us into

  Abraham Lincoln
• - Why do some succeed when others fail? FAITH

  dreams will become a reality. When we do, we
  never hurry and everything unfolds exactly as it
  should.

  building
• partnerships as much as we should.
• - Success comes from your own thoughts we
  have no
• real adversaries, you are only in
  competition with yourself.

  replace it.
• - Which mentality do you have? Scarcity or
  abundance?
• - Nothing can truly be lost except
  opportunity.
