Napoleon Hill lets us know right from the start where this idea of a single secret to wealth creation originated.

“In every chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years.

“The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago [ed. note: estimated to be early 1900's]. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me.

“When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise.”

What Carnegie Taught Hill

What is the significance of what Carnegie ‘tossed’ into Hill’s mind? The significance is two-fold in nature;

1) there is one central reason why rich men are rich

and

2) with knowledge of this secret, any man or woman can become wealthy on their own.

As we follow along through the 13 principles Hill discovered, proof of this bi-fold fact will become more and more apparent.

I will see you back here Monday and Thursday every week for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.
