Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... The Progressive Business Man

"A GOOD SYSTEM shortens the road to the goal, and relieves the mind of a thousand and one perplexities and anxieties, besides detail and drudgery, through which the orderless man goes.

With no odds and ends to distract him, no waste in the workroom, no chaos in the office, the orderly man gives the impression of force and capacity, balance and serenity, of one saving his strength for his work. He is not always up in arms about something. He does not go all to pieces over every little thing. The man with most method has the most time. His business is going on according to his program. His success does not depend upon his being at the helm every moment of the day. He has learned to duplicate himself, and to project himself in others who carry out his program.

There are business men in this country today who multiply their powers hundreds of times by projecting themselves to others by their splendid system. The great majority of people, however, do not know how to project themselves into others and to multiply the powers of those about them many times through system.

Many a business man can with a program multiply the power of a clerk so that he can accomplish a score of times as much as without it. He can double, triple and quadruple the producing ability of everybody about him – aiding them in carrying out his plans – through his far-seeing system.

Everybody around such a man or woman works to a specific plan. One marvels as he goes through our great business stores and offices and sees the evidence everywhere of a systematic brain that acts as a mainspring to the whole institution. You can quickly get at any detail of the business. Every letter is filed, every transaction registered, every package is checked off, and the least error is detected.

SYSTEM will make a man better balanced, better poised mentally and more optimistic; will clear the mind of cobwebs and of brain-ash; will enable a man to find anything he wants immediately, instead of losing valuable time hunting for it; will increase your business and decrease your expenses; will increase effectiveness, lengthen life, and make it better worth living; will increase the respect of your employees and your popularity with them; will produce more work and of a better quality than is possible without it; will enable the mediocre man to accomplish more than others of much great ability; will increase your efficiency, self-confidence and the overall results of your labor."

- Orison Swett Marden
