Vintage Essays By Judy Williamson, Director of the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at Purdue University Calumnet

Dear Readers,

If you are familiar with Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, which was written in 1937 during the Great Depression, you are aware that Napoleon Hill talked about obtaining riches in life. In fact, one of the titles that could have been used in place of Think and Grow Rich was the Thirteen Steps to Riches, but I doubt it would have been received as well as Think and Grow Rich.

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill identified the brain as the twelfth step toward riches. Twenty years prior to the publication of this book, Napoleon Hill worked with Dr. Elmer R. Gates, who observed that the human brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration of thought. Creative imagination is the receiving station of the brain, which receives the thoughts released by the brain of other people. Think of creative imagination as the means of communication between one’s reasoning mind and the stimuli that comes from the rest of the world.

The subconscious is the sending or broadcasting station of the brain through which vibrations of thought are broadcast. Napoleon Hill often advised his readers that in order to make the most of this broadcasting and receiving network, one must remember and apply the principles of creative imagination and autosuggestion. You have to develop your own imagination, and then focus on repetitive thoughts, or autosuggestion, in order to gain the most benefits from the mind.

 

I wish you the best,
Don Green

The Law of Success

This is the twelfth of a series of excerpts that focus on the “secret” in Think and Grow Rich. What makes these selections so unique is that a keyword was chosen with an emphasis on the secret that Napoleon Hill so often mentioned. I know you will enjoy reading these powerful excerpts.

THE BRAIN
A BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING STATION FOR THOUGHT
The Twelfth Step toward Riches
by Napoleon Hill

MORE than twenty years ago, the author, working in conjunction with the late Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, and Dr. Elmer R. Gates, observed that every human brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration of thought.

Through the medium of the ether, in a fashion similar to that employed by the radio broadcasting principle, every human brain is capable of picking up vibrations of thought which are being released by other brains.

In connection with the statement in the preceding paragraph, compare, and consider the description of the Creative Imagination, as outlined in the chapter on Imagination. The Creative Imagination is the “receiving set” of the brain, which receives thoughts, released by the brains of others. It is the agency of communication between one’s conscious, or reasoning mind, and the four sources from which one may receive thought stimuli.

When stimulated, or “stepped up” to a high rate of vibration, the mind becomes more receptive to the vibration of thought which reaches it through the ether from outside sources. This “stepping up” process takes place through the positive emotions, or the negative emotions. Through the emotions, the vibrations of thought may be increased.

Vibrations of an exceedingly high rate are the only vibrations picked up and carried, by the ether, from one brain to another. Thought is energy traveling at an exceedingly high rate of vibration. Thought, which has been modified or “stepped up” by any of the major emotions, vibrates at a much higher rate than ordinary thought, and it is this type of thought which passes from one brain to another, through the broadcasting machinery of the human brain.

The emotion of sex stands at the head of the list of human emotions, as far as intensity and driving force are concerned. The brain which has been stimulated by the emotion of sex, vibrates at a much more rapid rate than it does when that emotion is quiescent or absent.

The result of sex transmutation is the increase of the rate of vibration of thoughts to such a pitch that the Creative Imagination becomes highly receptive to ideas, which it picks up from the ether. On the other hand, when the brain is vibrating at a rapid rate, it not only attracts thoughts and ideas released by other brains through the medium of the ether, but it gives to one’s own thoughts that “feeling” which is essential before those thoughts will be picked up and acted upon by one’s subconscious mind.

Thus, you will see that the broadcasting principle is the factor through which you mix feeling, or emotion with your thoughts and pass them on to your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is the “sending station” of the brain, through which vibrations of thought are broadcast. The Creative Imagination is the “receiving set,” through which the vibrations of thought are picked up from the ether.

Along with the important factors of the subconscious mind, and the faculty of the Creative Imagination, which constitutes the sending and receiving sets of your mental broadcasting machinery, consider now the principle of auto-suggestion, which is the medium by which you may put into operation your “broadcasting” station.

Through the instructions described in the chapter on auto-suggestion, you were definitely informed of the method by which DESIRE may be transmuted into its monetary equivalent.

Operation of your mental “broadcasting” station is a comparatively simple procedure. You have but three principles to bear in mind, and to apply when you wish to use your broadcasting station—the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, CREATIVE IMAGINATION, and AUTO-SUGGESTION. The stimuli through which you put these three principles into action have been described—the procedure begins with DESIRE.

Entrepreneurial Efficiency
by Jim Stovall

 

There is a certain efficiency, effectiveness, and economy that comes with all entrepreneurial ventures.

I’m reminded of the stories recounted about the pilgrims who, upon arriving in the New World, began collective farming to try to feed themselves. Their thinking was that if they had one big farming operation and everyone shared the work and the harvest, it would provide the best outcome for all. I would have to admit that in theory and on paper a collective approach, or communism, makes a certain amount of sense and has an odd appeal; however, it quite simply doesn’t work.

After nearly starving to death for several years, the pilgrims, in desperation, tried another approach in which each family would farm their own land and survive or starve based on their own harvest. They found that people were willing to work harder, smarter, and more efficiently for themselves and their families as opposed to the collective community.

The result was the individual families prospered, and many of them had enough surplus crops to share with families that needed help. Some might argue that this is an old-world example and doesn’t apply in the 21st century. Consider the entrepreneur Elon Musk, best known for his cutting-edge, high-tech electric car, Tesla. Through Tesla, Elon Musk has planted the seeds that will change the transportation industry for generations to come.

In another venture with his company called SpaceX, Musk replicates the lessons learned and principles proven by the pilgrims. Space travel has been around in one form or another for over half a century. The established model involves a large rocket filled with fuel that blasts a capsule beyond the earth’s atmosphere into space. Historically, the rocket itself was designed to be disposable and would fall away in stages as the fuel was consumed and the flight progressed.

Enter Elon Musk, an entrepreneur spending his own money earned from other entrepreneurial ventures. Immediately realizing that disposable rockets wasted untold millions of dollars, Musk and his engineers developed a rocket that remains intact and returns to earth by lowering itself much as a helicopter does as it lands. Through this development, Musk can reuse his rockets, cutting costs dramatically, and make it possible for his spacecraft to land almost anywhere and be reused many times.

I do not necessarily believe that Elon Musk is smarter than the many engineers and scientists around the world who pioneered and developed space travel. Musk’s breakthrough comes from the advantage he gained from being an entrepreneur. Previous scientists focused on what was possible. Elon Musk and his team focus on what is possible as well as what’s affordable, what’s efficient, what’s economical, and what is profitable.

As you go through your day today, think like an entrepreneur and enjoy the advantages.

Today’s the day!

Think and Grow Rich

 

Master-Key to Riches

NEW!
Truthful Living

by Napoleon Hill Foreword, Actions and Annotations by Jeffrey Gitomer

 

New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Gitomer brings you the very foundation of Napoleon Hill’s self-help legacy: his long-lost original notes, letters, and lectures—now compiled, edited, and annotated for the modern reader.

Twenty years before the publication of his magnum opus Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill was an instructor, philosopher, and writer at the George Washington Institute in Chicago, where he taught courses in advertising and sales. These rare, never-before-seen lectures were thought to be lost to history. Until now.

Given exclusive access to the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, Jeffrey Gitomer has unearthed Hill’s original course notes containing the fundamental beliefs in hard work and personal development that established Hill as a global leader of success and positive attitude.

In Truthful Living, Gitomer has captured Hill’s foundational wisdom for the twenty-first century. These easy-to-implement real-world strategies for life, family, business, and the bottom line prove as energizing and inspiring today as they were nearly one hundred years ago.
