Success
These meetings were strictly for the purpose of
co-operating on the give and take basis of assisting one another with ideas
and suggestions, and occasionally by endorsing notes and other securities to
assist some member of the group who had met with an emergency making such
help necessary.
It is said that each of the individuals belonging to this Big Six group is a millionaire many times over. As a rule there is nothing worthy of special comment on behalf of a man who does nothing more than accumulate a few million dollars.
However, there is something connected with the financial success of this particular group of men that is well worth comment, study, analysis and even emulation, and that "something" is the fact that they have learned how to coordinate their individual minds by blending them in a spirit of perfect harmony, thereby creating a Master Mind that unlocks, to each individual of the group, doors which are closed to most of the human race.
The United States Steel Corporation is one of the strongest and most powerful industrial organizations in the world. The Idea out of which this great industrial giant grew was born in the mind of Elbert H. Gary, a more or less commonplace small-town lawyer who was born and reared in a small Illinois town near Chicago.
Mr. Gary surrounded himself with a group of men whose
minds he successfully blended in a spirit of perfect harmony, thereby
creating the Master Mind, which is the moving spirit of the great United
States Steel Corporation. Search where you will, wherever you find an
outstanding success in business, finance, industry or in any of the
professions, you may be sure that back of the success is some individual who
has applied the principle of mind chemistry, out of which a Master Mind has
been created.
These outstanding successes often appear to be the handiwork of but one person, but search closely and the other individuals whose minds have been co-ordinated with his own may be found. Remember that two or more persons may operate the principle of mind chemistry so as to create a Master Mind. POWER (man-power) is ORGANIZED KNOWLEDGE, EXPRESSED THROUGH INTELLIGENT EFFORTS!
No effort can be said to be ORGANIZED unless the individuals engaged in the effort co-ordinate their knowledge and energy in a spirit of perfect harmony. Lack of such harmonious co-ordination of effort is the main cause of practically every business failure. An interesting experiment was conducted by this author, in collaboration with the students of a well known college. Each student was requested to write an essay on "How and Why Henry Ford Became Wealthy."
