“Think and Grow Rich” is a self-help book written by Napoleon Hill and published in 1937. It is one of the best-selling books of all time and has inspired millions of people to achieve success in their lives.
In my opinion it’s also got one of the greatest titles in the history of book publishing.
Really, how could you possibly improve upon that title? It’s just four words, and yet it makes a promise that’s nearly unbeatable.
In case you’ve never read the book, Think and Grow Rich is a philosophy of success that emphasizes the power of the mind to achieve goals. Hill interviewed over 500 successful people – including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison – to develop his ideas.
These days it sounds almost ordinary to have such a book, but back then it was considered revolutionary and even controversial.
Hill talked about the power of desire, faith, imagination, persistence, and the importance of a mastermind group.
He emphasized the importance of developing a definite purpose, a burning desire to achieve that purpose, and a plan to achieve it.
And he also stresses the importance of positive thinking, self-discipline, and persistence.
The book provides practical advice and techniques for achieving success, such as creating a written statement of your goals, visualizing your success, and surrounding yourself with positive influences.
All of this is stuff you already know, right?
You’ve heard it all before.
It’s nothing new.
It’s kind of boring, even.
When we hear something often enough, it loses some of its meaning.
But the fact is that these principles are every bit as relevant today as they were in 1937.
Now here’s my challenge to you:
Get a copy of the book.
Read it. Maybe re-read it yearly if not monthly.
And then write your own book detailing how you used these exact principles to build your multi-million-dollar fortune.
Complete the book by 2028. That’s five years from now.
Can you do it?
I believe you can. Follow these principles and I truly believe you (Yes, YOU) can build a fortune in five years.
Will you do it?
Now that’s up to you.
