THINK AND GROW RICH

"Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." - Napoleon Hill

 American born Napoleon Hill is considered to have influenced more people 

into success than any other person in history. He has been perhaps the most 

influential man in the area of personal success technique development, primarily 

through his classic book Think and Grow Rich which has helped million of the 

people and has been important in the life of many successful people such as W. 

Clement Stone and Og Mandino. Napoleon Hill was born into poverty in 1883 in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. At the age of 10 his mother died, and two years 

later his father remarried. He became a very rebellious boy, but grew up to be an 

incredible man. He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for 

small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved 

motivational author. Fighting against all class of great disadvantages and 

pressures, he dedicated more than 25 years of his life to define the reasons by 

which so many people fail to achieve true financial success and happiness in their 

life. During this time he achieved great success as an attorney and journalist. His 

early career as a reporter helped finance his way through law school. He was 

given an assignment to write a series of success stories of famous men, and his 

big break came when he was asked to interview steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie. 

Mr. Carnegie commissioned Hill to interview over 500 millionaires to find a 

success formula that could be used by the average person. These included Thomas 

Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, Charles M. Schwab, 

Theodore Roosevelt, William Wrigley Jr, John Wanamaker, WIlliam Jennings 

Bryan, George Eastman, Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller, 

F. W. Woolworth, Jennings Randolph, among others He became an advisor to Andrew Carnegie, and with Carnegie's help he formulated a philosophy of success, drawing on the thoughts and experience of a 

multitude of rags-to-riches tycoons. It took Hill over 20 years to produce his book, a classic in the Personal Development field called Think and Grow Rich. This book has sold over 7 million copies and has helped thousands achieve success.
