Think and Grow Rich—Timeless Classic Still Pays Dividends

You've heard plenty of rags-to-riches success stories—
but do you really know how these self-made 
millionaires made it to the top? Here's what you can 
learn from this classic publication, whose value—based 
on decades of research on successful Americans—is 
still growing.

Napoleon Hill devoted 20 years to studying hundreds of 
American success stories—from Andrew Carnegie to 
Woodrow Wilson—and the result was Think and Grow Rich, 
a marvelous pocket-sized book.

Hill relays the story of Henry Ford, who began his 
business career illiterate and in poverty. Within 10 
years, Ford had become educated and gained tremendous 
experience, and within 25 years he was one of the 
wealthiest men in America, largely through the 
knowledge gained from his personal friendships with 
Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, John Burroughs, and 
Luther Burbank.

Here are a few steps to grow rich we learn from this 
book:

1 Surround yourself with successful people. Hill 
found that successful people forged "mastermind 
alliances" to encourage one another to follow through 
with both plan and purpose
 
2 Harness your desire.   Fix in your mind the 
exact amount of money you're after
 
3 Define your purpose.  Success hinges on being 
able to articulate a clear and specific purpose
 
4 Don't bow to adversity.   As Think and Grow Rich 
repeatedly illustrates, successful people reject 
mediocrity, deflect criticism, and march unflinchingly 
toward the seemingly impossible.
 
5 You gotta have faith.   Believe in your-self and 
go for it.
