Think and Grow Rich by Napolen Hill
PROCRASTINATION. The Think And Grow Big of putting off until tomorrow that which should have been done last year. Nothing brings man so much suffering and humility as POVERTY! Only those who have experienced poverty understand the full meaning of this. Anyone who has experienced a near accident while driving, knows that on such occasions, the sixth sense often comes to one’s rescue, and aids, by split seconds, in avoiding the accident. If you are influenced by “opinions” when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking, much less in that of transmuting YOUR OWN DESIRE into money. Broadly speaking, there are two types of people in the world.
- I feel like, Hey, there’s work to be done in this area.
- Hill advocates making decisions quickly and decisively.
- Overall, the Think and Grow Rich book describes many concepts that are as appropriate today as they were back in the 1930s.

When you begin to think and grow rich, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work.
About the Author- Napoleon Hill
What one may learn from this book is that life will only give you what you ask of it…whether it is joy, happiness, money, friendship, love, family, a dog 😉 or anything in between. Don’t waste your time and energy on this book. Instead, go read « I Will Teach You To Be Rich » from Ramit Sethi for actionable advice on how to build your financial success, or « The Personal MBA » by Josh Kaufman for a real primer on how business works. Hill might be a little crazy, and his writing style is a bit over the top. More critically, some of the particular things he says are at odds with his philosophy as a whole (« these steps call for no hard labor. They call for no sacrifice »). The danger is that these are the statements readers latch on to, and lose the forest for the trees.
- He emphasizes that it alone is the medium for translating mental impulses into their spiritual and physical equivalents.

- Thinking grow rich by Napoleon hill and thank you to you, our listeners, and a special thanks to our members today.
- It is convincing yourself to be rich and acting accordingly.
