This is the intro to the Mindset Mastery eBook. I wrote it as a tribute to one of the foremost inspirations for thousands of self improvement and motivational coaches across the globe.
A tribute to Napoleon Hill – by Sean Rasmussen
The year 2000 was a big year for me. My second son was born, I was constantly working away from home to “make a living” and I was asking a lot of questions about life. “Is this as good as it gets?” I asked myself. My family finances were going backwards and the harder I worked, it seemed, the bigger the financial hole seemed to get.
I would be away from home, at work, for 6 weeks at a time and have 1 week off. I missed my son’s first words, his first steps and didn’t give him the opportunity to call me “Dad” when he was ready for it. On my one week off from work, I’d lap it all up and my heart was torn to bits every time I had to leave again for work. I called work a “Paid Prison Sentence” and vowed to make some drastic changes. Something had to change for me to experience change. I gave myself no option.
When my workmates went to the pub or a concert or anything social after work, I was in my little caravan reading books; Self-help books. 2000 was the catalyst year for my Mindset Mastery to start kicking in. I discovered Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Anthony Robbins and many more inspiring authors but foremost I found Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
My mind went into overdrive. I had moments of “truth” come to me. It’s something I cannot describe. You will have to experience it yourself. I genuinely hope you discover it and reading this book will help you. The strategies suggested by Mr. Hill have been applied. With a blind faith in my own ability along with further “Financial Education”, I have experienced results I previously only dared to dream about.
I am now an active supporter of many charities, many of which would not benefit from me hadn’t I read Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich. The applied “mindset changes” and “calls to action” that I initiated have made an incredible impact on my personal life, family life, business associates and various charities.
I have a personal short term goal of donating $10,000 per month to charity. When I set this target, I had no idea of “how”, I just knew “what” the desired result was.
If you in any way find empowerment in this book and genuinely believe your lifestyle can and will improve from the ideas herein, please consider supporting a charity of your own choice with a portion of the increased financial rewards that you enjoy from these ideas. Napoleon Hill devoted years of his life to benefit mankind in such a way, even he possibly didn’t imagine the magnitude of it. His desired outcome was known to him. He had the passion and a burning desire to achieve an outcome that will be an asset for mankind over many years to come.
Napoleon Hill, I salute you!

That is so inspiring, to go from a small step to giant leap in your life. My life has certainly transformed over the past year, I just needed the ability to be willing to learn whilst supporting and teaching others on my journey to success. Instead of giving to charity, I decided to form a organisation that will help developments in various areas, art, science and community programs designed to give us the best possible chance to all be champions in the 21st century.
We have to help ourselves before we can help others. As Jesus once said “Take the log out of your eye before you take the spec out of another”.
Well put, Jake. The best way to help others is to have plenty to give with. A cup needs to overflow before it is abundant.
Sean, I thank God I subscribed to the Site of my choice. I appreciate you for the books there are so inspiring and motivating.
when ever I read them, I have this assurance in me that I CAN NEVER BE POOR and have no reason to be poor.
Keep the fire burnig One love.
Sincerely,
KINGSLEY
Thank you Kingsley
I appreciate your kind words very much. I’m happy you like the book.
Napoleon Hill’s words have never been so appropriate as they are now in these tough economic times. Thanks for the reminder.
Hi ‘AMAA’
Napoleon Hills words are very appropriate and you can take inspiration and motivation form them in any field in life. Maybe something for your students at the Martial Arts Academy.
Have fun
Literature is news that stays news.
Hi Sean,
2010 is my year just as 2000 was for you. I’m ready to put the effort in to truly master the success principles and start living the life I desire.
You clearly had enough pain in your life that caused such a dramatic shift in your thinking that you went looking for ways to create a better life. I am fortunate that through you I am learning the lessons I need to be able to make the changes I need to create the life of my dreams for myself and my family.
I am getting the benefit of your knowledge and experience and I am truly grateful for this.
Hi Sean,
You said in this post, “I had moments of “truth” come to me. It’s something I cannot describe. You will have to experience it yourself. I genuinely hope you discover it and reading this book will help you”
I bet it is the same thing the little child accidentally stumbled upon in, Introduction, A Fifty Cent Lesson In Persistence…..but what is it?
