Your Only Real Competitor is You A MAN has only one real problem, only one real business competitor, and that competitor is himself. Does that sound contradictory? Let us make the direct application. You are in business. You want to make more money. You want every year to feel that you are occupying a more important place. Most men are competing against you for the same goals. But what is your real competition ? It is the fight you have to wage with yourself to overcome the habit of procrastination and the habit of self-indulgence. The temptation to linger over the luncheon table; to talk politics and philosophy during Ihe business day; to visit friends; to fritter away odd moments. The competition of living a really useful life in the face of all the aJlurements to waste time and energy' is a tremendous competition. And yet when you find a really successful man you find one who has sacrificed everything to some definite purpose. That is the real secret of what wc do for men with the Alexander Hamilton Institute Service —we make business so much more interesting to them, so much more fascinating, that it is easy for them to concentrate. We open the road ahead so clearly that they are not diverted into sidepaths. We show them a picture of what they can be and how surprisingly easy it is to realise that picture and the competition of their easj’-going selves drops away. We shall be glad to give you the full facts about the Institute Service—facts which explain the remarkable success of Institute men and make clear hew inevitable 1t is that larger earning power must follow such training. But the even more important thing that we want to tell you about is bow we can put a new thrill into life for you; how we can make work a game, and money not merely a payment, but a prize. How, in a word, we can help you get more actual fun out of your business than you can get in any other way. How easy it is. when you can feel yourself .lumping ahead, to overcome the competition of your other self. We attach a coupon for those who would like to read a very fascinating little book about business progress. ALEXANDER HAMILTON INSTITUTE, II Castlereagh Street, Sydney, N.S.W.
