The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Habit 1
Stephen Covey explains in his bestseller "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" that the first habit that you need to develop in order to succeed is to be proactive.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Habit 2
As Covey explains, the first habit tells you that you're the programmer. The second habit then tells you to write the program. That is, once you take responsibility and see yourself as the creator of your life, you need to ask yourself: "What do I want to create?" Habit 2 is the goal-setting habit.

The Science of Getting Rich

"The Science of Getting Rich" is a success classic written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants increased prosperity. The main premise of the book is that getting rich is an exact science.
The Science of Getting Rich - Part 1
Wattles defines "being rich" as having all you need to live as expansively as you can. In the first chapter of "The Science of Getting Rich", Wattles explains that a person's right to life means their right to develop in body, mind, and soul to their fullest potential. That is, the right to life isn't just about the right not to be harmed or to be deprived of liberty; instead, every person has an inalienable right to all the development that they're capable of attaining.
The Science of Getting Rich - Part 2
Wattles explains in the third chapter of his book, "The Science of Getting Rich", that everything you see on earth is made from one original substance-or formless stuff-out of which all things proceed. This original substance is the raw material of all things and it is alive with creative energy, constantly turning into different shapes, with new forms being made and others dissolving on a continuous basis.
The Science of Getting Rich - Part 3
Wattles emphatically states in "The Science of Getting Rich" that in order to do things "in a certain way" you must get rid of the thought of competition. In the fifth chapter of his book he explains that the way to get what you want is to create it, not to take it away from someone else.
The Science of Getting Rich - Part 4
As Wattles states, "A person must not only think, but his personal action must supplement his thought." You must act in such a way that you can receive what you want when it gets to you. That is, your thoughts bring what you're thinking about toward you, and by action you receive them.
