Today we celebrate Napoleon Hill’s Birthday with a list of his top ten suggestions from his Best Seller, Think and Grow Rich. He really had an unremarkable life, growing up in poverty, working as a reporter in a small town to save enough for law school, which he started but could not afford to finish. When he finally got to interview Andrew Carnegie, he life took a turn for the better. Carnegie offered to provide him letters of reference to some of the countries top businessmen so he could interview them and come up with a plan for success, which he published as The Law of Success. This would be the blueprint for Think and Grow Rich, when has sold over 30 million copies since it was published in 1937. So today, we’ll look at 10 of the 13 secrets from this book:
-
