If you have people working for you, you must take from them more in cash value than you pay them in wages; but you can so organize your business that it will be filled with the principle of advancement, and so that each employee who wishes to do so may advance a little every day.
You can make your business do for your employees what this book is doing for you. You can so conduct your business that it will be a sort of ladder, by which every employee who will take the trouble may climb to riches himeslf; and given the opportunity, if he will not do so it is not your fault.

When someone does something for you, when you hire someone or pay someone to "do" for you, does it feel good? Like you've given them a way to step up? What would happen if every time you spent money, you were clear on how helpful that money was going to be? Would you spend more? Would there be more to spend?

When I'm at work, I do feel that my boss (who is also my friend) is really interested in giving me a way to "step up." Her goal for me is that I can somehow make $600 a week... (more than double what I'm bringing home now)... and I love that she can see that for me.
When it comes to me paying others.... it tends to be a different story. I am often begrudging... sometimes to the point of complaining about how much I had to spend... I'm thinking that if I could change this around - it'd be BIG.
What if I was delighted to help the electric company... excited about supporting yahoo and sprint... eager to share my personal wealth with the bank that loanded me the money for my home...
Yes, that would be BIG!
