I have a question for those who are like me: did you get the 'think and grow rich' book and skip rig
The question is directed at individuals who have obtained the book "Think and Grow Rich," which is a popular self-help book focused on personal development and financial succes
I have read the book, own it physiacaly and digataly, and wish I had an audio version of it on hand for this book is a once a year must re-read, re-listen.
Just like the good book, every time I go through it, new things pop I did not see the last time.
I did not think of fast forwarding chapters, just never crossed my mind to do such in truth. If the book starts with chapter one and ends in chapter 23, 56 or whatever, that is how the author intended his readers to read the book so why would I mess with that.
I believe strongly that if your inner person is creating the itch for you to do something positive, that is a good voice to listen to and if it is saying re-read the book, put that book by your night stand or on your pillow and get after reading it agian.
Also keep a note book handy or use phone as voice recorder for when Ah haw moments hit you. When you revisit those notes the Ah haw grows improving what your were after.
I totally agree. I also think that it was my gaps in knowledge about “hustle” culture instead of trusting the system. Once I had that "aha" moment, I realized that if I just follow the steps, I'll be where I want to be in life. I will take your advice, and I think I will use a journal.
I think you can the audio version of it, even if it's a YouTube video, then you can convert it into MP3.
I like reading, physical and digital instead of listening to books.

I like audiobooks for when I am driving or at work doing neck-down duties, like pushing a broom.
I spend a lot of time driving to gigs, and shows, and instead of listening to the same music as I have been for the last 45 years, I pop in a book and listen to it.
For example, I listened to Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog" audiobook while driving a huge box truck from Los Angeles to Sacramento. The long, boring drive turned into a learning adventure.
I think you're correct on the YouTube audio version; I just get so tired of the ads that pop up on YouTube. I have an app that I used to love for audiobooks, but now, after 4 years, they copy what Amazon does and limit the number of books I can listen to, so getting rid of that app and subscription.
I own it since 2017, couldn't finish reading before the idea of starting my online business kicked in from the first two chapters. I recommend reading it all. I did, several times.

"For years, I owned "Think and Grow Rich" book and subscribe and unsubscribe to Wealthy Affiliate, because I never truly engaged with it. I was fixated on the quick reward of making money, skipping the essential steps and knowledge needed for success. Fear of being exposed as an imposter paralyzed me more than the actual work involved. It's frustrating that it took me so long to realize I was trapped by my own limiting patterns and lack of understanding – a knowledge gap that kept me from reaching my full potential.

Hola Byron,
I truly appreciate your question—it’s a powerful reminder of the timeless wisdom in Think and Grow Rich. I first read Napoleon Hill’s book twenty years ago, and while it resonated with me from the start, I wasn’t yet ready to fully integrate its teachings into my life. At the time, I was more focused on the pleasures of life and lacked the discipline to apply its principles effectively.
The book now sits on my shelf, gathering dust—but not for much longer. Your question reignited my awareness of the treasure I already own. Life is a journey of growth, and while I wasn’t ready then, I am now. Thank you for this valuable nudge!
One of Hill’s most profound concepts is the power of a Mastermind Group—a circle of like-minded individuals who uplift, challenge, and support each other in achieving success. Twenty years ago, I didn’t have such a group in my environment. But now, here at WA, I see a real opportunity to connect with people who embody a Positive Mental Attitude and a commitment to growth. This space feels like fertile ground for building a mastermind group where we exchange ideas, keep each other accountable, and accelerate our progress.
I would love to explore this possibility with you and John (JMaluth), as I’ve already had a brief but inspiring chat with him. If you're both interested, we could start brainstorming how to create a supportive and results-driven mastermind. What are your thoughts?
On a related note, I immerse myself in motivational content daily—at home via my computer and on the go through my smartphone. Instead of YouTube, I use CleanTube on my phone, which offers the same content but with enhanced privacy and without distractions from ads. My computer runs on Linux, allowing me to work seamlessly without commercial interruptions or the need for costly software.
Looking forward to your thoughts on the mastermind idea!
To success,
Salva
