“Any business whose management has the foresight to adopt a policy which consolidates management, employees and the public it serves in a spirit of team work, provides itself with an insurance policy against failure.” ~Napoleon Hill

“It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward for taking time to do anything well.” ~Joseph Ross
Dear Readers:
The concept of Time is an abstract one. Frequently, it is said that we all have the same 24 hours in a day, but most of us would agree that Time is not the same commodity for each and every one of us. Those of us with time on our hands wish away the minutes and the hours, and those of us with not enough time cannot gain another minute by wishing for one. Time is a commodity that is as elusive as quicksilver and most of us cannot put our finger on exactly why it speeds up or slows down against our best plans and wishes.
It has been stated that how we respect time determines how opportunity respects us. As we unravel this statement, it appears to mean that the amount of quality time we invest in our desire, passion, or definite major purpose is in correlation with how we encounter opportunities that work in our behalf. What we think about we attract, and what we spend time on we draw into our physical world. We know that time waits for no man, but the time we devote to self-discipline in completing the task before us eventually brings us results that are more often than not positive. W. Clement Stone’s mantra “Do It Now” works because we devote the time to work it. Stated another way, what we invest time in during the day delivers results proportionate to the dedicated time, effort, and self-discipline that we put into it.
There are many time management systems, but for me a simple goal sheet or daily “to do” it sheet listing ten or fewer priority items works best. In the morning, I ask myself what it is I would like to accomplish today, and then I write it down. Usually, I take great pride in crossing major items off my list. I have invested Time in accomplishing these items and when they are completed they are crossed off, not erased! It brings closure to the item and also allows me to move on to my next goal.
A fun children’s story entitled What Time Is It, Mr. Crocodile? by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Doug Cushman, develops over the concept of a “to do” list gone awry due to five pesky monkeys that invade Mr. Crocodile’s day. The list of things to do cannot be done because the monkeys continually tease him and distract him. The monkeys he planned to catch for food, turn the tables on Mr. Crocodile and befriend him. Exhausted, he states: “Time to say, ‘I was rude, with a bad attitude, and I’d much rather have you as friends than as food.'” He now reads to them, shops with them, cooks with them and sings to them. His modified “to do” list includes rather than excludes his new friends, and surprisingly he is the happier for it.
We all need to be reminded that Time needs to be shared with others in teamwork and mastermind alliances in order to make the most of our Time. We can expand our time with the engagement of others just as leaders expand their presence with the aid of those people who support their mission or purpose in life. By engaging rather than disconnecting from the playful monkeys that pester us, we learn to achieve compounded time that can work to everyone’s advantage. By mastering time, we can attain our goal. By engaging others in our timely pursuits, we can create a destiny, even leave a legacy, that will endure beyond time.
Be Your Very Best Always,
Judy Williamson

How Your Time Should Be Budgeted
by Napoleon Hill
Effectiveness in human endeavor calls for the organized budgeting of time. And experience, both that of successful men and those who have failed, has proved that no one may be sure of personal success without a careful time budgeting system. For the average man the twenty-four hours of the day should be divided as follows:
a. Eight hours for sleep.
b. Eight hours for work in connection with your occupation.
c. Eight hours for recreation and spare time activities.
There are few circumstances under which anyone may take liberties with the first eight hour period which belongs to sleep, for nature has set aside this portion of one’s time for rest and the rebuilding and repair of the physical body, and for other bodily functions which require complete relaxation.
The second eight hours represent the period which experience has proved to be necessary for work in connection with your business, trade or profession. Here you have a wide range of choices as to the use you make of your time. You may use it so that it will yield nothing. Or you may use it so that it will bring only the bare necessities of life. Or you may use it so that it will bring you all the riches that your life demands or requires. The use made of this time will depend partly, if not entirely, upon whether you are a drifter or a person with a definite major purpose.
The happiest men are those who have learned to
mix play with their work and bind the two together
with enthusiasm.
The third eight hour period, known as spare time, holds the secret of all great achievement. It is the balance of power which may be thrown into any type of endeavor you desire. This is the period which enables you to follow the habit of going the extra mile, a habit which is, and always will be, an essential for success in the higher brackets of human endeavor.
Successful men recognize the value of spare time, and they agree that it can be made the most profitable of the three periods of the day. Necessity forces one to devote the first eight hour period to sleep and the second eight hour period to work. But the third period belongs to each individual — to you — to use as you choose.
Successful men have been wise enough to organize and use their spare time so that it will serve both the purpose of recreation and the development of future opportunities. They have found recreation of the highest order in the constructive use of creative vision, planning ways and means of promoting themselves into higher and better stations in life, making new friends, experimenting with their most cherished ideas, and helping others to find their places in life.

Outwitting the Devil
by Napoleon Hill
Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold co-author Sharon Lechter, this book–now available in paper–is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

Your Right to Be Rich
by Napoleon Hill
Dr. Napoleon Hill’s landmark book Think and Grow Rich does not restrict the concept of riches to such narrow parameters as fortune and fame. You have the right to be rich, and you deserve to be rich in every way—personally and spiritually—as well as financially. This seemingly simple idea spawned a philosophy about wealth and success that has permeated every generation since its inception.
Your Right to Be Rich gathers transcripts from the most vital and important speeches given by Napoleon Hill. Available in the past only as audio editions and sound-bite snippets, transcripts from these speeches will be presented in print for the first time here.

Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill
As Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, I receive many requests from people wanting the original 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those of you who desire to have a 1937 unedited copy, we have reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned,” and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often makes the statement, “Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today.” The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time
