Think and Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich written by Napoleon Hill in 1937 has assisted many people in becoming wealthy.

"Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought." Napoleon Hill

Worried about paying your bills? Sick over credit card debt?

Or.....

Happy about receiving a check in the mail? Enjoying test driving a new car? Excited for your new home business?

Thoughts are where your you begin manifesting abundance or focusing on lack.

Manifesting abundance is prosperity consciousness, or the awareness you are creating more than enough, "plenty for everyone" thoughts.

Poverty consciousness or a lack mentality is that there is not enough for everyone and I "had better get, while the getting is good," thoughts.

Prosperity consciousness is an abundant mindset. To create true wealth it can only be created through a prosperity mindset. Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich after an urging from his mentor, billionaire Andrew Carnegie.

Carnegie suggested that Hill take "his secret" to the world. Hill spent twenty years or more to pass the Carnegie secret along to men and women whom without this knowledge might not go through life as failures.

Napoleon Hill kept his promise to Andrew Carnegie and as a result consulted with over 500 wealthy men whom in turn revealed how they achieved their success.

Hill allows his readers an inside peek and learn from others experiences. 15 "laws" of success are included for anyone who applies them to achieve their desired success.

Napoleon Hill promises to indirectly reveal the secret if you are ready for it, but never actually tell you directly what the secret is......

Disclaimer: Don't read any more if you do not want to know the secret!

The secret is.......you become what you think about. Thoughts become things.

Success begins with successful thinking. "Success requires no explanations. Failure permits no alibis." Napoleon Hill

Of course, that's seems obvious to personal development students but Hill's masterpiece really was a breakthrough in the financial arena and personal development field.

This book really reminds us that it is a prosperity mindset or a "extreme mind makeover," if you will, that creates a new prosperous lifestyle.

That is why it is not titled, "Get Rich Quick" because it does take time to transform from a poverty consciousness to prosperity consciousness.

Yes, it will require some self mastery as mentioned in the book, but it is well worth the time and effort to change. The truth is....that any work you do in this area will "pay you back."

Think and Grow Rich sold over 20 million copies 50 years after first being published.
