Hey in
this article we're going to talk about a few principles in the book Think and
Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Now this book is very old-fashioned a lot of the principles
in it and a lot of the words just a vocabulary that Napoleon uses are very
old-fashioned.
If you
want to success or make something better in your life than you must read this
book. After reading this book you will find a good purpose in life.
Let’s
start with the top five principles one by one:
Desire
If you
want to get rich you have to have a burning desire in you and it will lead up
into the second principle we'll make it very effective and that is you have to
use Auto suggestions. Now this is basically whatever environment you place
yourself in you're going to be. Your subconscious mind is going to start taking
in stuff you need to put yourself in environments that will produce profit now
this doesn't necessarily just profit as in money, I mean profit as in profit to
your well-being will make you a better person.
I heard
once that you are an average of the five people that you spend most of your
time around. So you can use this to your advantage take right now and write down
a list of the top five people that you spend most of your time around and see
are they making you a better person and also Napoleon suggests that you should
come up with a written statement usually five or six sentences. That basically
sum up your purpose in life and every day you need to read them out loud
because they will be driven into your subconscious mind and every day.
It will get
stronger and stronger and your subconscious mind will start picking up on
things that will lead you to your goals so principle
Autosuggestion
Put
yourself in places that you will become profitable and feed your mind with
books and knowledge and reading and videos and people that are going to make you
stronger and work harder and they're going to push you to Grow Rich .
You
should start writing all the things you desire on small placards or any sticky
note and read them several times a day in order to remember what you want and
place them into your subconscious mind.
Mastermind
This is basically
you need to be around people who are going to help you. Basically let's say that
there's one human and they meet another human who is the opposite sex they get
together and they mate and they have a baby so what What kind of math is this ?
Generally this is one human plus one human equals three humans and Napoleon
Hill says that the same thing works with ideas if you get one idea and you are
around a person who has another idea you're going to produce a third idea and
he says that it's actually exponential if you get three ideas three people
together you're going to end up with maybe 20 new ideas.
Imagine
if you get five or six people together you can end up with hundreds of new
ideas and you have to use these ideas to become profitable
Specialized knowledge
There’s a
great example on this principle that Henry Ford was in this line of questioning,
he was brought in for questioning about the profitability of his company
because he was making so much money they thought he was doing dirty stuff so
they bring him in for questioning
and they started asking him a whole bunch of questions and he starts to get
really upset. He said if I should really want to answer the foolish questions
you have just asked or any of the other questions you have been asking me let
me remind you that I have a row of electric push buttons on my desk and by
pushing the right button I can summon to my aid any man who can answer any question
I desire to ask concerning the business to which I am devoting most of my
efforts and this is a part I really stood at me now will you kindly tell me why I
should clutter my mind with general knowledge for the purpose of being able to
answer questions and this is the basic fourth principle that I got from this
book which is specialized knowledge.
Napoleon says in the book knowledge has no value except that which can be
gained from its application so just knowing something doesn't make it profitable
you have to be able to apply it and he basically goes into saying that this is
why college degrees are going down in value because anyone can get a college
degree but you have to be able to learn how to apply it correctly and this goes
with the statement that the more you learn the more you earn it's okay to have
a lot of general knowledge but if you're going to be an entrepreneur or if you
are wanting to Grow Rich you need to have little field of specialized knowledge
that you know a lot in or be in the position to get the general knowledge from
someone else like Google or
a friend
Persistence
I have
found this one to become extremely helpful in my situation. For example, this Blog
channel has been up for about one months and I'm sticking with it I'm trying to
write at least six articles per week with good quality adding value to other
people's lives and I have to stick with it I know right now I'm only getting a
couple hundred views per week but I know in a couple months I'm going to be dominating
if I keep up with this persistence.
Many people
fail in their first attempt. But that’s not end of the world. Nowadays, fear of
failure has become the most scariest than someone from dying. They might fail even on their
100th attempt. But this proves their dedication and there strength of
desire. This will ensure their success at some point in the future. We should
never forget that Thomas Edison had failed 999 times before inventing the first
bulb. Many people give up at their first attempt, claiming that the challenge
is too tough for them and as a result, these people barely ever succeed.
There are
actually 13 principles in this book and these are the top five principles.
Thanks for reading this article
