A classic book that analyses the life of successful men . The secret to their success and these are men from all walks of life.
So if you’re looking to learn the secrets to wealth, this book is unquestionably the best choice.
The book was first published in 1937 and has sold over 70 million copies.
The first word in the title Think shows you that the main thing to focus on is the mindset.
The book gives in detail the thirteen steps to building wealth. These are the thirteen steps to riches.
““The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.” – Napoleon Hill
Having a burning desire
The most critical word here to note is burning. A lukewarm or a normal temperature desire will not have an effect. As life goes on, notice what lights you up well enough that prepares you to commit accomplishing that no matter what.
A burning desire is the actually the one which ignites the beginning of your dream.
Organized plan and refining it
“A quitter never wins – and – a winner never quits.” – Napoleon Hill
When you dream of something which isn’t followed by a plan, it’s just a mere wish. It’s always good to think about the dream that gives you happy memories but keep in mind that getting to make it reality which actually putting up a plan will zero your chances.
A dream requires more than a desire. You need to take right actions. And to know the right times to take the right actions you need to have a recognised plan. The organized plan will become your roadmap to success.
Adapting and preparing for adversity
Problems crop up even with the best plans in hand. This is an inevitable part of human life but what you need to focus on is how to handle teh adversity.
The book highlights how all successful people handled adversity and the one important thing they all did. It is to see the good in every problem.
“Every adversity has within it the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.”
Finding the good in whatever situation it may be no matter how worse it is , was the one most successful people practiced. This is one crucial step for you to succeed.
Great team
You can never accumulate great wealth single handedly. You need the help of others. Just surround yourself with good people.
You as a person single handedly cannot assume and do everything on your own nor you are aware of all what you should be doing. You need a team to create your dream to reality.
Fear of criticism
As per Napoleon there are six fears which stop people attaining riches.
- The fear of poverty
- The fear of criticism
- The fear of ill health
- The fear of loss of love of someone
- The fear of old age
- The fear of death
The fear of criticism in the above is considered the most powerful and certainly one that affects us the most.
It makes you lose hope and feel dejected which is why most people feel very uncomfortable to receive it.
