How You Control Your
Financial Success
You can get everything you want in life as long as you give others enough of
what they want. If you give nothing of value, you get nothing of value. Your
method of exchange determines your wealth.
The type of exchange determines your financial success. L. Ron Hubbard points
out four types of exchange.
"1. First consider a group which takes in money but does not deliver
anything in exchange. This is called rip-off." - L. Ron Hubbard
Examples of this first condition of exchange:
- You pay a $1,000 deposit for a new car. The dealer goes bankrupt. You get no
car and no refund.
- A plumber loosens a pipe, shows you the "leak," tightens the fitting, makes
noise, charges you $159.
- Someone in your office avoids doing work. Lots of excuses, lots of smoke
screen, no work, full pay.
This first exchange condition is basically theft. You are in this condition if
no one can trust you. You get fired from jobs. You are constantly covering your
tracks or end up in jail. Your business goes under.
The second exchange
condition is cheating.
"2. Second is the condition of partial exchange. The group takes in orders
or money for goods and then delivers part of it or a corrupted version of what
was ordered." - L. Ron Hubbard
Examples:
- County fair booth promises to show you a two-headed cow, but actually shows an
odd-looking skeleton.
- The "$99 Dream Vacation Package" turns out to be a smelly motel room by the
freeway.
- Instead of working, an employee reads a magazine, surfs the net or makes
personal calls while being paid.
If this is your style of
exchange, you also get fired. Your business barely survives or eventually fails.
You never earn any wealth.
"3. The third condition is the exchange known, legally and in business
practice, as `fair exchange.' One takes in orders and money and delivers exactly
what has been ordered." - L. Ron Hubbard
Most successful companies and individuals use this principle. Examples:
- You pay for a dozen fresh eggs, you get a dozen fresh eggs.
- A $10-per-hour employee works 40 hours of normal work and is paid $400.
- You pay your power bill and get electricity.
If you are in this third
condition, you make an okay income. Your company does fine as long as nothing
bad happens. You might save just enough to survive your retirement years.
"4. The fourth condition of exchange is not common but could be called
exchange in abundance. Here one does not give two for one or free service but
gives something more valuable than money was received for." "This fourth
principle above is almost unknown in business or the arts. Yet it is the key to
howling success and expansion." - L. Ron Hubbard
Individuals and businesses who use this fourth method of exchange flourish when
others are in trouble.
- You pay an artist for a painting who then frames it for you at no extra
charge.
- You invest with a real-estate group expecting a 12% return each year but
instead, you get 15%.
- An employee not only does all of her own work, she trains a new employee,
works on her day off when another employee calls in sick and assumes new
management responsibilities without demanding more pay.
Employees who give more than expected receive promotions, raises, bonuses and
extra benefits. Job security is excellent as they are valuable to the company.
Businesses that exchange in abundance get more referrals than anyone. Investors
are anxious to buy its stock. Customer loyalty is guaranteed.
At first, giving more than expected seems unfair. You give extra effort without
recognition. You add value to your work or products without anyone noticing.
Yet eventually, you rise to the top. People like working with you above others.
Your company is selected above the competition. You earn a reputation of being
more than fair.
Instead of trying to get more, work on giving more as your method of operation
and see what happens!
