WILL-POWER IN BUSINESS Co One of our most successful British business men—a man who fought his way up from poverty to wealth by his own efforts, went in middle life into the social whirl. He secured a title. He hobnobbed with titled people. He made a hobby of sport. He travelled abroad. All would have been well if he had not at the same time tried to continue to manage his company. He had always managed it as a dictator and he continued to be dictatorial. As you can see, this was disastrous to his company. It soon ceased to make profits. Eventually, to save its life, he had to let go of it. He had weakened the Purpose-will by means of which he had built up his company. A new Purpose had been formed in his mind. So, it is evident that a man can create his will-power as much as he can create his character or his knowledge. He can select the group of concepts which he wishes to take control of his mind. He can strengthen this group. by taking action, by reading books, by observation, by concentrating his attention upon the subject that he has selected. His Purpose-will at first may be weak and often overcome by fears and doubts, but as he gathers information and experience it will steadily become stronger. 24
