Mindset Mastery 6 - A Few Facts About The Secret
There are some basic things worth knowing about the secret to wealth creation, as Napoleon Hill discovered. He talks about the secret and its universal availability to all people in his original forward.
“A peculiar thing about this secret is that those who once acquire it and use it find themselves literally swept on to success, with but little effort, and they never again submit to failure! If you doubt this, study the names of those who have used it, wherever they have been mentioned, check their records for yourself, and be convinced. “There is no such thing as something for nothing! “The secret to which I refer cannot be had without a price, although the price is far less than its value. It cannot be had at any price by those who are not intentionally searching for it. It cannot be given away, it cannot be purchased for money, for the reason that it comes in two parts. One part is already in possession of those who are ready for it.”
Wealth Creation Secret
Hill is basically saying two things here:
1) the secret to wealth creation is not overly complicated, and is within the reach of anybody, regardless of wealth, handicap, education, or location,
and
2) obtaining and utilizing the secret requires effort on the part of the seeker; you won’t get rich sitting by waiting for an opportunity to come your way, you have to take an active role in your own wealth creation.
Hill doesn’t present this to scare away the reader—exactly the opposite; he puts this informational tidbit upfront so that you can prepare yourself for some worthwhile effort, but also realize that wealth is certainly within your reach.
I will see you back here Monday and Thursday every week for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

One need not look far to see proof, hey Sean?

LOL. I suppose not. We are all surrounded by success. It is within us all. We just need to ‘unleash’ it.

I agree Sean, that success is within all of us. I watched a Will Smith interview and he said something very similiar. That every person’s personal power is their ability to belief in possibility. Success is available to everyone if they believe.

Hello Sean, I cant even remember how I came across 21st century academy, yourself, and Mindset Mastery, but i am so glad that i have. I am actively striving to live by Napoleon Hills 13 principals and i know my life is changing for the better, still trying to pin point the secret but i know it will become clearer in time.
Peace.
