The first success principle in the world.

TL;DR

The oldest success principle is Be-Do-Have: who you become determines what you do, and what you do determines what you have.

Key Points

• 1.The core principle is Be, Do, Have. You must first become the right person (Be) before you can take the right actions (Do) and acquire the right results (Have) — in that exact order.
• 2.The inverse is equally true: Can't Be, Can't Do, Can't Have. If you fail to develop yourself, you cannot take meaningful action, and therefore cannot expect meaningful outcomes.
• 3.The principle scales proportionally. Be a little, do a little, have a little — but if you commit to becoming a lot, you can do a lot and ultimately have a lot, making growth unlimited.
