Wallace D. Wattles' 1910 Wealth Formula for Today's Entrepreneur
Getting Rich in a Certain Way.
Five minutes at a time.
In 1910, Wallace Wattles wrote a short, plain book he called a practical manual, not a book of theories. In this course we read it the way he asked: by doing what it says. One big idea, affirmations in John's voice, and a short exercise you can use in your life this week.
Taught by John D. Mayfield, creator of the 5-Minutes Series, 2022 Missouri REALTORS® State President and 2026 Missouri REALTORS® State REALTOR® of the Year.

Sound familiar?
You've read the success books. You're still waiting for the success.
The ideas sounded right. You felt inspired for a week. Then real life took over, and the book went back on the shelf with the others.
Wattles said the rock many thinkers are shipwrecked on is failing to connect thought with action. This course is built to fix exactly that: a little thinking, a little doing, every day.
The big ideas
A practical manual,
put into practice.
Create, don't compete
Wattles taught that you can fight for what already exists, or create something new. One keeps you anxious and stuck; the other opens the door.
Gratitude multiplies
He summed up his whole mental approach in one word: gratitude. Not good manners, but a daily practice that keeps your mind on the best instead of the worst.
Think it, then act on it
A clear, definite picture of what you want, joined with action now, where you are, every single day. That's the Certain Way.
What you'll learn
Seven modules and a 30-day challenge
Each module has six short video lessons, each followed by a quick practice check.
Your Right to Be Rich
Permission to want more, and why results come from doing things in a Certain Way.
The Creative Plane
Create instead of compete, with a simple test for every deal, sale and conversation.
Gratitude, the Wealth Multiplier

Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to read the original book first?
No. The course walks you through Wattles' ideas one at a time, in plain language, quoting his own words where it matters.
Is this only for real estate agents?
No. It's for any entrepreneur, business owner or professional. Wattles wrote for every kind of work, and the course applies his ideas to yours.
Will this make me rich?
No course can promise that, and this one doesn't. Wattles' claims are presented as his ideas, not guaranteed results. What you'll get is a clear, daily method for thinking and acting with purpose. Your results depend on your own work.
How much time does it take?
About five minutes a day. Each lesson is short, and the 30-Day Challenge takes a few minutes each morning and evening.
How long do I have access?
Unlimited. Once you enroll, the course is yours to come back to anytime: replay lessons, review the materials and practice as often as you like.
What if it isn't right for me?
You're covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the course isn't a fit, ask for a refund within 30 days.
