An inner, omnipotent power ('Emmanuel') is available to fulfill earnest desires if properly addressed.
You possess a mighty, willing power within, capable of giving you what you earnestly desire. This power is described by authors like Thomson Jay Hudson and is named 'Emmanuel' (God in us). It can bring earnest desires to conclusion, but requires genuine earnestness from the individual.
Three rules: Read desires daily, think about them often, and share only with your inner power.
There are three positive rules for accomplishment: 1. Read the list of wants three times daily (morning, noon, night). 2. Think of what you want as often as possible. 3. Do not talk about your plan to anyone except the Great Power within you, which will guide your objective mind on how to achieve it.
Be extremely specific and detailed in defining your wants, including all particulars.
Wants should be specific: if desiring a car, specify the make, style, price, color, and delivery date. For a home, plan the structure, grounds, furnishings, location, and cost. If wanting money, state the exact amount. This level of detail shows earnestness.
Plan wants that bring the greatest good to yourself and others, avoiding harmful outcomes.

Introduction to 'It Works!' and its Premise
The book 'It Works!', originally published in 1926, offers a plan for life accomplishment.
The video introduces the book 'It Works!' by RHJ, originally published in 1926 and presented by the Master Key Society. It is described as a clear, definite, common-sense plan of accomplishment and is stated to have been titled 'It Works!' based on a friend's appraisal of the manuscript.
The book provides a plan to achieve desired outcomes by understanding and using an inner power.
The book is presented as a concise, definite, and resultful plan with rules, explanations, and suggestions for improving one's life condition. It posits that if you know what you want, you can have it.
The author, a successful individual, credits their achievements to a simple, powerful truth detailed in the book.
The author of the book is described as highly successful, generous, and helpful, attributing all accomplishments in mastering circumstances, accumulating wealth, and winning friends to the silent working out of a simple, powerful truth presented in the work. The author requested their name be omitted.
The core question is the secret to obtaining possessions and the cause of differing life conditions.
The book addresses the question of the real secret to obtaining desirable possessions and probes whether some individuals are born with inherent advantages, or if there's an underlying cause for the differences in living conditions among people. The author dedicated years to finding a logical answer.
The plan works despite potential scientific or theological interpretations, bringing desired results.
While acknowledging that some statements might be interpreted as incorrect from scientific, psychological, or theological viewpoints, the plan is presented as having brought desired results to those who followed its simple instructions. The belief is that it will bring happiness and possessions to many more.
Most people overlook a simple, powerful, and sure method for achieving their desires.
The average person often dismisses the possibility of achieving their wishes ('If wishes were horses, beggars would ride'). They are unaware of a power that is near, simple to operate, and sure in results, leading to overlooked causes of failure or success.
Everyday expressions of desire reveal a lack of conscious intent and focus on wants.
Examples like Jimmy the office boy's wish for a sports car, Florence's desire for a ring, and Mr. Jones's resignation to renting a home illustrate common sentiments where people express desires without conscious intention or a plan to achieve them.
To achieve change, one must first clearly define what they truly want.
The video emphasizes that to change one's present condition, the first and most crucial step is to know definitively what is wanted. This ability to train the objective mind to decide upon desired things or conditions is presented as the first big step in accomplishment.
Achieving desires is akin to radio waves; correct tuning with a plan yields perfect results.
Getting what you want is compared to radio waves; tuning in correctly leads to a perfect result. This requires understanding your 'equipment' and having a plan of operation.
An inner, omnipotent power ('Emmanuel') is available to fulfill earnest desires if properly addressed.
You possess a mighty, willing power within, capable of giving you what you earnestly desire. This power is described by authors like Thomson Jay Hudson and is named 'Emmanuel' (God in us). It can bring earnest desires to conclusion, but requires genuine earnestness from the individual.
Half-hearted wanting and mental vacillation prevent the inner power from functioning effectively.
Occasional wishing or half-hearted wanting does not create a strong connection with the omnipotent power. The objective mind and will are often vacillating, leading to mere verbal expressions of wishes rather than focused intent. This prevents the inner power from functioning.
Unclear desires and expecting negative outcomes contribute to present unhappy conditions.
People often have no fixed idea of what they want their children to accomplish or focus on negative conditions like hay fever, thus inadvertently contributing to unhappy circumstances. Their lack of clarity and focus prevents positive outcomes.
The Plan: Defining and Pursuing Wants
Write down your desires in order of importance, without fear of wanting too much.
The plan begins with writing down the things and conditions you really want, in order of their importance. It encourages not being afraid of wanting too much and to 'go the limit'. The list can be changed daily until it feels right, as changes and additions are natural.
Three rules: Read desires daily, think about them often, and share only with your inner power.
There are three positive rules for accomplishment: 1. Read the list of wants three times daily (morning, noon, night). 2. Think of what you want as often as possible. 3. Do not talk about your plan to anyone except the Great Power within you, which will guide your objective mind on how to achieve it.
Do not analyze how the inner power will fulfill desires; trust the process.
There is no need to analyze how the Power within will accomplish your desires. This is compared to planting corn; one does not need to understand the process for the stalk to grow and produce corn. The method will unfold naturally.
Progression is indicated by new desires appearing at the top of the list and removing old wants.
As you progress, new desires deserving a top position on your list will emerge. Removing items initially thought wanted is also a sure sign of progress. This indicates that your desires are evolving and being met.
Address doubts by reviewing your list and affirming your desires to your inner self.
When skepticism, doubts, or questionings arise, get out your list or recall it mentally. Talk to your inner self about your desires until interfering doubts are dispelled. Remember that nothing can prevent you from having what you earnestly desire.
Surround yourself with positive influences and avoid skeptics to maintain focus.
The objective mind is susceptible to suggestion, making progress difficult when surrounded by skeptics. It is advised to choose friends carefully and associate with people who have what you desire, but without discussing your method with them.
Be extremely specific and detailed in defining your wants, including all particulars.
Wants should be specific: if desiring a car, specify the make, style, price, color, and delivery date. For a home, plan the structure, grounds, furnishings, location, and cost. If wanting money, state the exact amount. This level of detail shows earnestness.
Overcome the enemy of 'discredit' by attributing accomplishments to your inner power with gratitude.
When accomplishments occur, the enemy 'discredit' may appear with thoughts like 'it just happened'. Instead, give thanks and credit to your Omnipotent Power. This builds assurance, leads to more accomplishments, and proves the existence of this law when in tune with it.
Gratitude and thankfulness lead to happiness, strengthening faith in the inner power.
Sincere thanks are impossible without gratitude, which in turn leads to happiness. Thanking your Omnipotent Power for gifts with all your soul should be reflected outwardly. Accept accomplishments with thankfulness, happiness, and strengthened faith.
Plan wants that bring the greatest good to yourself and others, avoiding harmful outcomes.
Caution is advised as one can obtain things that lead to misery, wreck others' happiness, or cause sickness and death. Therefore, plan wants that ensure the greatest good for humanity, paving the way for future hope.
Start by accomplishing lesser, familiar desires before moving to more complex ones.
It is suggested to start with familiar desires like amounts of money or material possessions, as these are more easily and quickly obtained than habit changes or healing. Accomplish lesser things first, then progressively pursue higher objectives.
Helping others without seeking reward provides great gain and opens the path to prosperity.
A significant desire that will emerge is to help others as you have been helped. Great reward comes from selfless giving, as it is impossible to be unselfish without personal gain, leading to prosperity and larger life.
Conclusion and Call to Action
The choice to accept this plan or remain unchanged is entirely up to the individual.
Similar to Dr. Emil Coue's method, individuals can either reject or accept the plan presented. The choice to remain as they are or to have anything they want rests with them. The hope is that the reader chooses to follow the plan.
The book is intentionally concise for ease of understanding and use; reader is urged to test the plan.
The book has been deliberately shortened to be easy to read, understand, and use. Readers are encouraged to read it repeatedly, memorize the three rules, and immediately test them on their most pressing desire.
Sharing the book is a profitable way to help others and align with the law of 'getting by giving'.
The author suggests that the most profitable action is to share the book by sending it to those who need it. This helps others help themselves, aligns with the law of 'You get by giving,' and results in secret rewards of added power and larger life.
