Think & Grow Rich - Could Be Worth A Million Dollars To You!

Have you read the book Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill? This is one of the highest read books by entrepreneurs who want to succeed. I bought a paperback many years ago and it sat on my desk unread.

This was actually unfathomable because at the top of the cover it said:

"This Book Could Be Worth A Million Dollars To You."

I have problem reading books as I forget what I read after just a few pages.

In fact, I can read through several pages and suddenly wonder what I had just read. I then have to go back and read those pages all over again. This makes it very hard to read books.

Perhaps it's because of my ADD.

However, I am going to make the effort to read this book NOW!

Today I picked up this book and started reading the Publishers Note. And then the table of Contents followed by the Word From The Author.

I was hooked. Although this was first published in 1937, the information it contains is timeless. It contains the secret to success based on facts.

Napoleon Hill was tasked to write this book based on interviews he conducted with the top business minds of that era conducted over a period of 20 years.

The information he accumulated on what drove those individuals to success are contained in Think & Grow Rich.

His conclusion was that without fail, everyone who achieves lasting success uses one secret this book reveals, whether they know it or not. And those who do not use this secret, fail.

Business men like Henry Ford, Charles Schwab and John D. Rockefeller contributed to the contents in this book through the interviews they had with Napoleon Hill. They already were familiar with the secret it reveals, to build amazing businesses that continue to this day.

Many entrepreneurs who read this book after it was published went on to build successful businesses and even better lives for themselves, families and those who they mentored.

I truly believe that the secret it holds can help us with our online businesses too. Let me share the Table of Contents and you will see what I am talking about:

Quote From The Author

I want to share the first 3 paragraphs of A Word From The Author In The Folllowing Quote:

"In every chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for hundreds of exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of time.

The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than half a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me.

When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie's cooperation, I have kept my promise."

Insights You May Not Think Of

Napoleon Hill said that the secret although underlying every chapter, will not be revealed to anyone unless they are ready for it. It doesn't come without a price.

He says there is no such thing as something for nothing. Education does not play a role in this at all.

The secret may jump out at you in the first chapter or on the last page. Mr. Hill gives the following hint:

"All achievement, all riches, have their beginning in an idea. If you are ready for the secret, you already possess one half of it; therefore you will readily recognize the second half the moment it reaches your mind."

Intriguing isn't it?

Working On Ourselves

We spend such a lot of time working on our business we often neglect to work on ourselves.

Unless we learn about and use some or all of the characteristics and functions listed in the Table Of Contents we could fail in our efforts to find and implement the secret to success.

Can you answer the question what success really and truly means to you? And I do not mean money.

My interpretation of the idea is what do you want to achieve in life where money makes it possible.

Unless you know that very clearly, the secret of success will not be revealed according to Napoleon Hill.

A Suggestion That May Be Beneficial

I got this thought and wanted to share it with you. Why not a group of us read this book in the coming weeks?

You may already have it. If you don't you can get it as a free PDF download here:

Think & Grow Rich - By Napoleon Hill

If you wish to get a paperback, one is available on eBay for 99 cents and free shipping.

Let me repeat what I wrote at the beginning. At the top of the front cover are these words:

"This Book Could Be Worth A Million Dollars To You"

May I suggest we read one chapter a week and discuss it among ourselves? I am looking for just a few members who are willing to do this.

We can use the discussion area of this blog post to share our interpretation of each chapter, and how the lessons learned, can help us in building our affiliate marketing business.

In this way we will be able to get different insights and learn from each other.

I will make a note of who would like to participate and we can work out the best method to do this via PM and then start here. Everyone has access to this blog and can visit and make comments too.

An Alternate Approach

If nobody wishes to do this that is OK. I will read the chapters myself and write a post about each, once a week in my Blog here to share what I learn.

However, it will be much more fun to read this online with others in sync and share ideas together. I am looking for like-minded individuals here.

The Coronavirus Break

Since most of us are in isolation during the Coronavirus break, isn't this a great time to do what I suggested?

I'd like to hear from other members about this idea.

With Gratitude

Thank you for reading this post and greater thanks if you decide to sign up to read Think & Grow Rich and share your ideas with fellow members.

Even if you have read this book before, it would be very beneficial to read it again. A good book can never be read too many times. And it is not a very long book either.

Looking forward to reading your comments.

All the best to you in your affiliate marketing journey.

Cheers!
