Napoleon Hill was born into poverty and a small cabin and why East
County, Virginia. He he got in a lot of trouble as a child and seem like
his life was going nowhere fast. His mother died when he was 10 years

At the age of 13 Napoleons started writing or a local newspaper, this
was the beginning of his career as a motivational author.
Later on in his career Napoleon met Andrew
Carnegie and started working with him trying to figure out what made
men successful. The rags to riches stories written by Horatio Alger and
other books along with the careers of famous people like Henry Ford,
Thomas Edison and George Eastman gave him the inspiration to figure out
what these people had in common and how they became successful.

| Napoleon Hill "What
the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve"
I heard Tony Robbins tell a story one
time about a man that walked up to him and handed him the book Think and
Grow Rich. Tony mentioned to the man he had already read the book and
thanked him and then asked the man if he would consider giving the book
to someone else. The man replied with how many times have you read this
book. Tony's reply was once, I have read the book once. The man asked
him if he was rich yet and Tony said he was working on it. Then the man
proceeded to explain the power of repetition and reading the book often
to gain further insight.
The man also explained to Tony that he was rich and and he had read the
book several times. If you want to get rich and have wealth beyond your
dreams you will need to read this book more than once.
This story got me thinking about the power of repetition and has stuck
in my mind ever sense.
In the movie You can Heal your Life
Jerry Hicks mentions the effect
of this book on his life. I could make a list of people that have read
this book and refer to it often in the spiritual and personal develop
fields but this won't be necessary.
This is a must read book for anyone interested in learning about the
laws of attraction and the power of your thinking.
