“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

Dear Readers,

As we celebrated Martin Luther King’s birthday this week, I began thinking about all of the positive changes he made in his lifetime. One of my favorite quotes by Mr. King is, “You don’t have to see the top of the stairs to take the first step.”

I have read and studied Napoleon Hill’s success principles my entire life, and I realized that Napoleon teaches us the same lesson that Mr. King taught us. If we desire progress in our life, then we should start in our current position. We all have to have a starting point, or definite major purpose, if we want to be truly successful. Napoleon Hill believed that a definite major purpose was the starting point of all achievement.

Many people don’t even start on the road to their goals because they feel that they don’t have the proper tools to accomplish their task. However, if we wait until everything is just right, then it is likely we will never start.

It is easy to compare our journey to success with a vacation. When we begin our vacation, most of us use a GPS to find our way. However, that GPS does not show all of the obstacles we may experience along the way, such as a flat tire, or lost luggage. But even though we can’t see those obstacles, we continue until we reach our destination. Sometimes, we may have to take a different route than we planned, but we still reach our goal.

I wish you the best,
Don Green

When You Begin to Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill

When you begin to THINK AND GROW RICH, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work. You, and every other person, ought to be interested in knowing how to acquire that state of mind which will attract riches. I spent twenty-five years in research, analyzing more than 25,000 people, because I, too, wanted to know “how wealthy men become that way.”

Without that research, this book could not have been written.

Here take notice of a very significant truth, viz: The business depression started in 1929, and continued on to an all time record of destruction, until sometime after President Roosevelt entered office. Then the depression began to fade into nothingness. Just as an electrician in a theatre raises the lights so gradually that darkness is transmuted into light before you realize it, so did the spell of fear in the minds of the people gradually fade away and become faith.

Observe very closely, as soon as you master the principles of this philosophy, and begin to follow the instructions for applying those principles, your financial status will begin to improve, and everything you touch will begin to transmute itself into an asset for your benefit. Impossible? Not at all!

One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man’s familiarity with the word “impossible.” He knows all the rules which will NOT work. He knows all the things which CANNOT be done. This book was written for those who seek the rules which have made others successful, and are willing to stake everything on those rules.

A great many years ago I purchased a fine dictionary. The first thing I did with it was to turn to the word “impossible,” and neatly clip it out of the book. That would not be an unwise thing for you to do.

Success comes to those who become SUCCESS CONSCIOUS.

Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become FAILURE CONSCIOUS.

The object of this book is to help all who seek it, to learn the art of changing their minds from FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS to SUCCESS CONSCIOUSNESS.

Stumbling to Success
by Jim Stovall

I’ve heard it said that success is a matter of avoiding mistakes. While this seems like good advice, it’s not strictly accurate. Successful people make their share of mistakes. They simply manage them.

I believe that a fool makes the same mistake over and over while a wise person makes a new mistake every day.

The goal should be to learn from every mistake not necessarily to avoid them. The best way to learn from a mistake is to learn from someone else’s mistake. If you observe world-class golfers in championship tournaments, you will see them squat down behind their ball as it is sitting on the green so they can judge the undulations and breaks of the surface between their golf ball and the hole. Really great golfers not only observe the greens surrounding their own shots, but they observe their opponent’s ball as it rolls toward the hole. This is called “going to school” on your opponent. If the green has an unexpected break, causing a putt to curve one way or the other more than expected, it is far better to learn from your opponent’s shot than from your own.

All of us make mistakes. Unsuccessful people call this failure while successful people call it fertilizer. It may not be pleasant at the time, but it can help your dreams grow into reality in the future.

Great ideas are generally inspired by mistakes, challenges, or problems. If you go through your daily routine and wait for something bad to happen, you have the potential of a great idea. As cited previously, all you need to do is ask yourself the critical question, “How could I have avoided that?” The answer to that question is a great idea. All you have to do to have a great business is ask yourself one further question, “How could I help other people avoid that?” The answer to this second question is a great business opportunity.

The world will give you fame, fortune, and acclaim if you simply recognize and solve other people’s problems.

Mistakes are part of the human condition. Maturity comes when we learn from our mistakes and resolve to not repeat them. I have always appreciated the great line sung by Billy Joel. “I am the entertainer. I had to pay my price. The things I did not know at first, I learned by doing twice.” The great lessons of life come to us disguised as problems, challenges, and mistakes.

As you go through your day today, learn from each mistake, and don’t repeat it.

Today’s the day!
Jim Stovall

The Path to Personal Power

by Napoleon Hill

This true lost manuscript from the “grandfather of self-help,” Napoleon Hill provides timeless wisdom on how to attain a more successful and wealthy life using simple principles.

Napoleon Hill first wrote The Path to Personal Power in 1941, intending it as a handbook for people lifting themselves out of the Great Depression. But upon the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entrance into World War II, these lessons were put aside and largely forgotten–until today.

Discovered in the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, this never-before-published work is made up of three easily digested lessons, each its own chapter: Definiteness of Purpose; the Master Mind; and Going the Extra Mile.

This concise book is a powerful road map that leads to a single discovery–you already have the power to attain whatever wealth, success, and prosperity you desire in life. All you need to do is walk the path without straying, and the rest will follow.

Using these lessons, you have principles to live by that will help you stay on your own personal path to power, and achieve success that you never thought possible.
