NAPOLEON HILL'S SUCCESS - THE REST OF THE STORY

And now, as Paul Harvey would say, “here is the rest of the story”.

What sent Napoleon Hill, a journalist, in the early 1900‘s, on his path to becoming an American Icon in success, motivation, inspiration, etc.?

In 1908, Andrew Carnegie commissioned, at no pay, Napoleon Hill, to interview more than 500 high achievers and wealthy individuals. Carnegie could help Hill gain access to these individuals because of his contacts and circle of friends. Carnegie wanted Hill to find out the common threads of their success. Hill devoted the next 20 years of his life finding those common denominators.

Hill and Carnegie finally completed that work and it was published 20 years after it had begun, in 1928, after Carnegie's death, in Hill's book, Law of Success, and in 1937, Think and Grow Rich. Think and Grow Rich has not been out of print since it was first published. It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

And now, “you know the rest of the story”.

So, if you haven't read one or either of these books, let's get going.
