A System of Success
Next class starts
July 13, 2020
Sign up today!
Dear Student of Napoleon Hill,
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.
It is because we sincerely feel that every reader of Think and Grow Rich should go on into this post graduate course, that we take the liberty here of giving a few brief side lights upon this brilliant work. Napoleon Hill’s Course presents the true Philosophy upon which all lasting success is built. Ideas, when translated into intelligent plans of action, are the beginning of all successful achievement. So this course proceeds to show you how to create practical ideas for every human need. It does it in easy-to-understand lessons. Napoleon Hill spent the better part of twenty-five years in perfecting this Philosophy of Success.
During the long years he has worked on it, some parts or the whole of it, have been reviewed and praised by many of the greatest Americans of our times. Among them are included four Presidents of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Wm. H. Taft; Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank, Wm. J. Wrigley, Alexander Graham Bell, Judge E. H. Gary, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Edward Bok, E.M. Statler — dozens of glowing names in Politics, Finance, Education, Invention.
Don’t waste your own precious years blindly searching for the hidden road to the heights. Profit by the dearly brought experience of America’s leaders. Over 500 great and prominent men of America were minutely analyzed — their methods, motives, strategy — to find out the secrets that put them on top. No matter whether you are rich or poor — you have one asset as great as the richest man living — and that is TIME. But with each setting sun you become one day older, and have one day less in which to attain the success and wealth you desire. Thousands of progressive people throughout the North American continent have realized this mighty truth, and have sought the help so clearly and inspiringly taught in Napoleon Hill. You cannot afford to let day after day slip into eternity, without getting possession of this course. You will profit greatly from the lessons in Think and Grow Rich. You will take even more brilliant and gratifying rewards from this course. The cost is trifling; the benefits are tremendous.

“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

“I am a graduate of my Grandfather’s philosophy. I studied Napoleon Hill for years, reading Think and Grow Rich now eight times. I even used his philosophy to change my life —twice! In spite of this, the course pulled the philosophy all together for me and gave me a deeper understanding!”
~ Dr. J.B. Hill
(Napoleon Hill’s Grandson)

Dear Readers,
Once you have developed your major purpose in life, the passion it creates will lead you to achieve greater self-discipline, self-reliance, and enthusiasm. Once you begin to work on your plans, you will see personal initiative begin to assist you and recognize that those who have a purpose, a plan, and personal initiative are the true success stories.
These principles are available to solve any problem, but it is important to use your personal initiative to see results. I encourage you to understand these principles and effectively apply them to the task to which you are seeking a solution.
Be definite in everything you do, and never leave unfinished thoughts in your mind. Form the habit of reaching definite decisions and follow through with the power of your personal initiative!
I wish you the best,
Don Green
Executive Director
Napoleon Hill Foundation

by Napoleon Hill
“There are two types of men,” said Andrew Carnegie, “who never amount to anything. One is the fellow who never does anything except that which he is told to do. The other is the fellow who cannot do even that which he is told to do.
“The man who gets ahead,” Carnegie continued, “does the thing that should be done without being told to do it. But he doesn’t stop there; he goes the extra mile by doing a great deal more than is expected or demanded of him.”
Personal initiative bears the same relationship to an individual that a self-starter bears to an automobile! It is the power that starts all action. It is the power that assures completion of anything one begins.
There are many “starters” but few “finishers.” Personal initiative is the dynamo that pushes the faculty of the imagination into action. It is the process of translating your definite major purpose into its physical or financial equivalent. It is the quality that creates a major purpose, as well as all minor purposes.
It reveals favorable opportunities for self-advancement and inspires you to embrace them, and to make the most of them. It reveals many faults and helps to correct them. It gives you an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, new ideas and better ways of doing things.
It is the twin brother of the principle of going the extra mile.
It inspired the writing of the Declaration of Independence and helped translate that document into the freedom which we enjoy today.
It gave us the American system of free enterprise, which insures all men the right to act on their own personal initiative.
The Major Attributes of Personal Initiative
Personal initiative heads the list of qualities a successful leader must possess. These qualities are:
- Personal initiative.
- The adoption of a definite major purpose.
- A motive to inspire continuous action in pursuit of a definite major purpose.
- A master mind alliance through which you may acquire the power to attain your definite purpose.
- Self-reliance in proportion to the scope and object of your major purpose.
- Self-discipline sufficient to ensure mastery of the head and the heart, and to sustain your motives until they have been realized.
- Persistence, based on the will to win.
- A well-developed imagination, controlled and directed.
- The habit of reaching definite and prompt decisions.
- The habit of basing opinions on known facts instead of relying on guesswork.
- The habit of going the extra mile.
- The capacity to generate enthusiasm at will, and to control it.
- A well-developed sense of details.
- The capacity to take criticism without resentment.
- Familiarity with the ten basic motives that inspire all human action.
- The capacity to concentrate your full attention upon one task at a time.
- Willingness to accept full responsibility for the mistakes of subordinates.
- The habit of recognizing the merits and abilities of others.
- A positive mental attitude at all times.
- The habit of assuming full responsibility for any job or task undertaken.
- The capacity for applied faith.
- Patience with subordinates and associates.
- The habit of following through with any task once begun.
- The habit of emphasizing thoroughness instead of speed.
- Dependability, the only requirement of leadership that can be stated with one word – but no less important to success on that account.
There are qualities of minor importance which leadership in many fields of endeavor may require, but those listed above are on the must list of all able leaders. Measure any successful leader by the list and observe how many of the traits he applies, although he may do so unconsciously.
Personal initiative, to be effective must be based upon a definite organized plan, inspired by a motive, and followed through to the end to which it is aimed.
During World War II, Henry J. Kaiser astounded the world by his achievements of speed and efficiency in building ships. His achievements were all the more amazing because he had never built ships before. The secret of his success lay in his leadership. And the quality that he emphasized throughout his entire organization was the habit of following through.
He followed this habit himself and required his associate workers and master mind allies to do the same.
For example, when he ordered a trainload of steel to be delivered at his shipbuilding yards on a given date, he took the necessary precautions to make sure it arrived there on time.
Successful men move on their own initiative but they know where they are going before they start.
Along with the order Mr. Kaiser sent an official expediter whose sole responsibility was to see that the steel arrived on time. The expediter left the steel mill with the shipment, and his instructions were to permit no railroad man to delay or sidetrack the cargo.
That shipment must go through and it must arrive on time! This rule was so rigidly enforced that no expediter with the Kaiser operations dared to neglect it.
That is why the Kaiser shipbuilding yards were seldom delayed by bottlenecks due to shortages of supplies. Personal initiative, backed by persistence, was the answer.
And it is the answer, in part, to the problem of the man who finds himself swept over into the failure side of the great River of Life, but who desires to get back onto the success side of the stream. He will never make it without applying personal initiative backed by persistence.
If one plan fails he must create another plan and try again, then again and still again. The procedure is not easy, because it calls for will power, persistence and determination to follow through, regardless of how hard the going may be.
Personal initiative is necessary for the application of the Big Four principles of personal achievement:
a. It inspires one to choose a definite major purpose, and to follow through with a clear-cut plan of action for its attainment.
b. It gives action to the habit of going the extra mile.
c. It inspires the organization of a master mind alliance.
d. It clears the mind for guidance through applied faith.
These four principles would be of no value without personal initiative.

Keeping Score
by Jim Stovall
In our hectic, fast-paced world today, when it’s all said and done, there is an awful lot said and very little done. People talk a good game but rarely do they get around to playing it. We all have more information, knowledge, and expertise than it would take for several people to succeed.
Unfortunately, we don’t succeed for knowing something or learning something. We succeed in doing something. It is far better to apply one principle in the real world than to learn ten principles that remain abstract theories to us.
There are three states of existence that matter in this discussion: being, doing, and having. In our commercialized world today, everyone wants to have everything now. They don’t want to do anything to get it or be the kind of person who can have it, they simply want to be given everything instantly. The universe is set up so that if you will be the kind of person who will then do the right thing, you can eventually have everything you want.
Like any other equation, when we get the elements out of order, we are headed for disaster. When you want to have things today and pay for them tomorrow, or receive compensation now for effort you will expend later, you are traveling on an unsustainable path.
Each generation of parents wants their children to live better than they do. This is good and admirable. Parents have felt this way since the beginning of recorded history; however, our commercialized, instant information society has made this generation’s young people not only want to exceed their parents’ standard of living, but do it now if not yesterday.
You never do anything good or bad that you don’t get paid for. You have heard it said a thousand times that you reap what you sow. Too many people are trying to sow one thing and reap something else—or worse yet, sow nothing and enjoy a huge harvest today. Nothing is as easy, simple, or fast as we would like it to be, but the fruits of our labor are, indeed, sweet, life-sustaining, and more than a fair exchange for our toil.
The next time you are communicating with a parent, teacher, or mentor about the success they have achieved or the level of accomplishment they have obtained, don’t just dwell on the finish line they have crossed, but learn all you can about the journey they have traveled and the race they have run.
As you go through your day today, focus not on what you have or even what you want to do, but who you want to be.
Today’s the day!

THE GIFT OF GIVING
by Napoleon Hill
Why leave a legacy when you can live one right now?
When you realize that your success journey is really a journey of giving, you will unlock the potential for profound riches. The world’s top entrepreneurs and leaders derive their success and fulfillment from the alignment of their professional endeavors with their search for meaning and impact. Rather than waiting until they feel they have something to offer, they consistently share their resources to better the lives of others. Now is the time for you to discover your unique gifts and create a giving plan so that you can begin to live your legacy.
The Gift of Giving traces the ultimate giving journeys of Jim Stovall and Don Green, who have implemented Napoleon Hill’s timeless achievement principles to live a legacy of generosity. When Jim Stovall committed to finding a driving passion and giving away $1 million to it, he was a broke college student whose dreams of playing in the NFL had been sidelined by a rare condition causing progressive blindness. With the guidance of the successful businessman Lee Braxton and a worn copy of Think and Grow Rich, Jim brought himself from poverty to prosperity and became an award-winning entrepreneur and philanthropist. His journey connected him with Don Green, the executive director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, who lives out his calling and continues Hill’s work through the Foundation’s many philanthropic efforts. Together, their stories reveal that you can render service and charity at every stage of your giving journey; you simply have to identify opportunities for generosity and take action on them.
You have everything you need to create your legacy. The time has come to live it now, while you can enjoy the gift of giving.
