| 0:34.0 | back to the vault today i'm going to show you guys some insanely cool stuff from one of the pioneers of this industry that almost nobody has ever heard of before. |
| 0:42.5 | Yet he was one who inspired and actually helped so many of the top people, in fact, including Napoleon Hill. |
| 0:47.9 | I got a testimonial from Napoleon Hill about the course right here that we're going to be diving deep into. |
| 0:52.8 | This is the same course, three different publications. |
| 0:55.7 | The first one, this is the first edition Master Key System. |
| 0:58.6 | I spent exactly $1,324.95 on the first edition |
| 1:03.6 | Master Key Systems, which is pretty cool. |
| 1:05.9 | But then before the Master Key System was a book said, |
| 1:09.1 | it was a home study course. |
| 1:10.3 | This is an original copy of the Home Study Course. What they would do is every single month, they would ship it out. You'd go through the lesson, you filled out, you set it back in, and then you get the next lesson. And so it's almost impossible to find because nobody has all the lessons. You would fill it out, send it in, and they send you the next one. So you'd only have the last lesson. So I found two complete sets. |
| 1:28.6 | This one right here, I was able to buy from one of our members at Secrets of Success. One of our members had it. It's been $8,000 to buy this edition. And then this is one other edition I found, which is the most pristine copy. It looks like it's brand new, but this was published in 1916. and I spent $100,000 to acquire this version of the entire |
| 1:46.4 | home study course. |
| 1:47.8 | So these are all of the Master Key systems written by Charles Hannell, who's one of my favorite |
| 1:53.2 | authors from the New Thought Movement. |
| 1:55.2 | In a minute, I'm going to show you guys my favorite lesson I learned for the Master |
| 1:57.9 | Key System, which is one of the coolest things ever. |
| 2:00.4 | And I'm also going to show Napoleon Hill's actual testimony that he sent to Charles Handel, which is inside of some of these books. But before I do, I want to tell a little bit of the story because you may have heard this before. If you have heard Master Key System, there's some big controversy behind it, so Charles Handel launched the home study version of the Master Key Systems in 1912. And then four years later, when we came, the first edition book, and it ran for a long time. And it changed so many people's lives. From 1933 to 2003, for 70 years, it was outer print, and it disappeared off the face of the planet from most part. Other than old copies that people were sharing and handing around, but it wasn't in print for that time. And so because there are all these big controversies. In fact, if you Google it, you'll see there's people that talked about how the church banned this. And that's why it disappeared. Like the church did not want people finding out about this. There's other stories and folklore that there were business entities who did not want the secrets of the master key system falling in in their competitors' hands. And there's all these different things about it being banned and literally taken offline. And we have no idea which those stories are true or not true. But we do know it was off print for 70 years until 2003 is when somebody found it, found it in the public domain and started reprinting it and bringing it back forward. And in the last little while, there's a lot of really big celebrities. One good example is Terry Cruz, who literally quotes that his success came from Charles Handel |
| 3:09.3 | and the Master Key system. |
| 3:10.4 | So it's kind of a cool thing that was disappeared for so long, but now is back in our world. |
