“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill is probably one of the most popular books in the Personal Development industry. It is a book that was written in 1937 but the principles it lays out are timeless. It is really one of the foundations for every personal development program, speaker and seminar ever put together. Many of the leaders of the Personal Development industry guarantee that you will benefit from the great lessons in this book if you simply apply and put them into action.
In the book, Napoleon Hill talks about four simple steps that will lead to the habit of PERSISTENCE. They don’t require any great amount of intelligence or education, but do require a little time and effort. The necessary steps are:
1. A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS FULFILLMENT.
2. A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION.
3. A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES, INCLUDING NEGATIVE SUGGESTIONS FROM RELATIVES, FRIENDS, AND ACQUAINTANCES.
4. A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO WILL ENCOURAGE ONE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH PLAN AND PURPOSE.
If you desire success in any endeavor, you just need to follow these four steps and your growth and success will happen in a big way.
Live life with a purpose and a burning desire to fulfill that purpose. Have an awesome day.
