Dear Readers,
The Napoleon Hill Foundation is located on the campus of the University of Virginia’s College at Wise. It is the only branch of the main campus, which is in Charlottesville, Virginia. As you know, it was Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, who founded the University of Virginia.
Before Thomas Jefferson died, he left specific instructions about what he wanted written on his tombstone. He even sketched a design of the tombstone he wanted erected and left nothing to chance. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Jefferson’s gravesite in Charlottesville, you would read the following epitaph, just as Jefferson wanted it:
Here was buried
Thomas Jefferson
Author of the Declaration of American Independence
of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom
& Father of the University of Virginia
Please note that Jefferson did not mention the fact that he was the third President of the United States, Vice President, Secretary of State, or United States Ambassador to France. He was most proud of his accomplishments in writing the Declaration of Independence, the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and his establishment of the University of Virginia.
Since Thomas Jefferson felt that education was so important, I think it is fitting that the Napoleon Hill Foundation uses educational institutions to make the world a better place in which to live. Through books, courses, and seminars, we are teaching the success principles that Napoleon Hill spent his life researching. I truly believe that Thomas Jefferson was correct when he said, “an educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.”
If you are currently enrolled in our Distance Learning Course, you are invited to accompany our instructor Uriel Martinez, to the Napoleon Hill Foundation offices, located in Wise, Virginia, if you are interested in Leader Certification. While in Wise, I will able to show you many artifacts and historical sites from Napoleon Hill’s life in Wise. We have personal items of Napoleon’s such as eyeglasses, pens, books, and honorary doctorate degrees, on display in our office.
In addition, there is the historical marker and Rufus Ayers mansion that you can visit. The historical marker was erected by the State of Virginia in honor of Napoleon Hill, and Hill is the only author in Virginia to receive this prestigious award. The Rufus Ayers mansion is now a museum that is located only minutes away from Wise. Mr. Rufus Ayers was Napoleon Hill’s employer after he graduated from business school.
If you are not yet enrolled in our Distance Learning Class, this is the perfect opportunity to enroll and thus qualify you to attend our in-person Leader Certification which will take place on July 10 – 12, 2025. Come and meet like-minded individuals like yourself who personify the principle of Positive Mental Attitude.
This will be a great opportunity to visit the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, which are not open to the public. We hope you can join us!
I wish you the best,
Don Green
Executive Director

Napoleon Hill’s Distance Learning. Sign up TODAY!
This online distance learning course presents and examines the principles of success researched and developed by Dr. Napoleon Hill and others. It provides a framework for students to better understand life’s opportunities and the need for definiteness of purpose.
The class is based on and structured around Hill’s 17 Principles of Success. Each lesson focuses on one principle and contains online reading assignments, points to ponder, chapter quizzes, Napoleon Hill vintage audio and just released video, articles from the Think and Grow Rich and PMA Adviser newsletters, class discussion questions, journal writing assignments and, other activities that help reinforce the principle being studied. Each student in the class has a personalized relationship with a fully accredited and approved instructor for Napoleon Hill Distance Learning Courses. The class concludes with an assignment dealing with an individualized plan for personal success.
“When I read Think and Grow Rich for the second time so long ago, I realized that I held the recipe for success in my hands. It was the key to everything — financial security, personal relationships, happiness … it could be used to achieve anything of value. It could be done by anybody and it could be done by me. There was just one catch. It’s up to me.”
Dr. J.B. Hill
“I remember the first time we received email correspondence from Dr. JB Hill. We could not believe it was Napoleon Hill’s grandson! He was sincerely interested in going through his Grandfather’s PMA: Science of Success course. He signed up and that began a correspondence that eventually led to him being placed on the board for the Napoleon Hill Foundation. He found great value in the material and he knew that if he was to benefit from it he had to actually go through the process. I know that you will find great value in this pinnacle of Napoleon Hill’s philosophy of success.”
