In 1908 an unknown American author, then a reporter, named Napoleon Hill got the opportunity of a lifetime to interview America's richest man, Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie presented to Hill, then twenty-five years old, a letter of recommendation that would grant him access to 500 of that era's top achievers in business, politics, science, and religion in order to discover the common denominators for success.
From those interviews, Think and Grow Rich was created and written. It covered the thirteen principles and the philosophy of personal achievement and success. Hill gave life to the personal development movement that has since swept the world.
Fast forward a hundred years, and the Napoleon Hill Foundation wants to provide renewed hope and courage for everyone during the current global economic crisis. The Foundation to ask the leaders of our generation to find out something very timely: Why they didn't give up--through their challenging times. From these interviews, many lessons were learned and are shared in this book:
From reading these leaders' stories, you will learn what kept them going, what gave them the courage to persevere, and why they want to share their stories of success with you so you may find your own personal path to great success.
In today's global landscape, we truly need to keep reminding ourselves that once we find
our definite major purpose and create our mastermind, it is our responsibility to continue the quest, no matter how hard the challenge.
Every one of us holds a gift that is meant to be shared with others.
