Mindset Mastery 11 - When And Where Will I Find This Secret?
The revelation of the secret happens at different points for different people. You may even have an indication of what this secret will entail. Napoleon Hill provides this dialogue in regards to the when and the how of the secret revealing itself to you.
“Somewhere, as you read, the secret to which I refer will jump from the page and stand boldly before you, if you are ready for it! When it appears, you will recognize it. Whether you receive the sign in the first or the last chapter, stop for a moment when it presents itself, and turn down a glass, for that occasion will mark the most important turning-point of your life.”
What it takes to succeed
What Napoleon Hill is telling you in Think and Grow Rich is that the secret is everywhere to be found in this book, even though it is never directly named. The key to success is there for the taking, you just have to be receptive to it. That’s really very much in line with all of successful wealth creation. When you are ready to learn and commit to creating wealth for yourself, you will find the resolve and the information you need to succeed.
The First Time I Thought To Grow Rich
I recall reading Think And Grow Rich for the first time in year 2000. I read through the entire book and never actually “got” what The Secret was! Although, at the time I wasn’t quite ready for the message, the book had a massive impact on me. This was also before Rhonda Byrne had super commercialized “The Secret”, based on Wallace Wattles book: The Science Of Getting Rich.
Actually, I have a version of Wallace Wattles book: The Science Of Getting Rich. Let me know if you’d like to download a free version. If I get enough comment in this blog (like LOTS!), then I’ll seriously consider finishing it off and making it available.
I will see you back here Monday and Thursday every week for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

hi sean
i for one am most definately interested. after seeing what you done with the napoleon hill yarn i really feel like pressing the submit button 8000 times just to ensure you go ahead.
yours in appreciation,
steve.

LOL. Thanks Steve. 800 comments would be nice (I think). As long as they are from lots of people. If we could get 8000 people to read Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles through this blog alone, imagine what a difference we can make in here. Then think of the 10’s of thousands and possibly 100’s of thousands who have already read these books in their life. Put those people in one spot and see if George Bush could get a word in…

Hi Sean and Steve,
Yes yes yes, please provide the e-book. Would love to read it. Here are two good things I find about our emails.
1. You can always press the “delete” button and not read emails and make the excuse that you don’t have enough time, or you can make the time and find that you ALWAYS have the time to read your emails once you have committed to reading a few (creating a habit) and you start to wonder how you ever thought you did not have time (this is a good lesson for everything we do). Hope that makes sense. In short, if you make time, you will have time and it becomes a regular habit.
2. They are motivational and keep you aware of your thoughts and keep you aware of being grateful.
Please Sean, keep us thinking!
Regards, Eileen.

Hey thanks, Eileen! You wouldn’t believe how many ‘unhappy’ emails I get. Actually, not that many, they just stand out like sore thumbs! And then every now and again I get one that says:
“Thanks! Keep sending me this stuff. It’s great!”
And you are right. There is a delete button or an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. Thanks for calling in and commenting. It’s the main source of encouragement I get from posting and it tells me that people want to know more. (that means: send more people along)
Oh, yeah! Lots more comments from more people are needed before I spend another 40 - 50 hours finishing off my work on the book
May 29th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Hi Sean,
I’m very interested about the book “The Science Of Getting Rich”, actualized by you.
You always had good reading material and a down to earth point of view.
Regards,
Paul
May 29th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Hi Paul
“The Science Of Getting Rich” will definitely be published here for a FREE download. I actually had it 90% finished before the Mindset Mastery ebook. It needs the finishing touches, errors fixed and proofreading etc. I might ask for some volunteers next time. Hmm, I wonder if there would be any takers?
May 29th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Hi, Sean,
I would also be very interested in reading “The Science of Getting Rich”. It would be well worth the time it takes you to get it ready.
Thanks a Million!
I’m enjoying your posts.
Regards,
Consie.
May 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
P.s. I am very good at spotting typos & grammatical errors.
May 29th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Thanks Consie. I will have a copy ready with your name on it.
May 29th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Sean,
Remember that those unhappy emails are just people who have not, as you say, “woken up” and then there are people you have helped and they are here telling you how much we appreciate your effort. Who knows, sometimes it is a response that you give to an unhappy email that sends them on a different path. Sometimes just a positive word and that can make a slight difference in their outlook.
How many pages of proof reading?
Eileen.
May 29th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
LOL. Not nearly as many as Mindset Mastery. I’ll have to have a look.
May 29th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
hi sean,
bring it on…love to read the book!
May 29th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
One more book coming up… help! LOL
May 30th, 2008 at 12:30 am
I’d love to read your interpretation of the book. I already have read it 3 times (I have a hard copy) but I like your comments such as in Think and Grow Rich.
Cheers
May 30th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Sure thing, John. I modernized this one to be 100 years more current. The ideals are still the same.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Sean,
My name is Jenny Nelson (nee Xuereb) & I rec’d a copy of mindset mastery ages ago.
The trouble is that it was saved when my pc used vista, but I’ve just changed back to XP, so can you please re-send me another copy or do I have to sign up again?
Jen
May 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Hi Jenny. Could you please email me at the office sean[at]seanrasmussen.com
I’ll email you a copy from there. I’m at home at the moment
May 30th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Hi Sean, Thank You for a great blog. I would love to read your addition on the book, The science of getting rich, since I have studied it and think it is amazing.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Sure Naomi. The votes are rising. Hmm, I might have to make this book available…
May 30th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Hi again Sean
I would be more than happy to assist with the proof reading. just email it to me along with any instructions you may have and I’ll get straight onto it. I consider this as me ‘”BRINGING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE” for this project.
May 30th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
OK, Steve. I’ll pick a handful of people and email a few copies for feedback. We can use the blog to clean up the book together. I think we have plenty of volunteers. I will need at least a few weeks,though, to catch my breath after launching my latest book only yesterday.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Hi Sean
I am glad you are writing, keep it up
Hope to see more
regards Robyn
May 31st, 2008 at 12:16 am
I sure will, Robyn. There will be lots more.
May 31st, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Hi Sean,
I’d love to read your version of “The Science of Getting Rich”. I’m (very enthusiastically) working my way through “Year of the Affiliate”. It’s fantastic so far! Keep up the great work!
Caroline
May 31st, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Thanks Caroline. It has been a real hit as it was quietly launched yesterday.
June 1st, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Hi Sean
Just wanted to say you’re a marvel and a real inspiration. Loving the e-books (am reading a couple between Homestudy) and the blogs. Affirmative for your version of ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ - your materials and blogs are very thought provoking. Need them in order to exercise this grey-matter regularly before it turns to mush from primarily being a communicating tool with a toddler & baby!! Thanks Sean, your efforts are truly appreciated!
Simone
June 1st, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Thank you, Simone
I’ll keep turning out the “Anti Grey Matter” material
“The Science Of Being Rich” will be available soon.
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
Hello Sean! I too would be interested in reading it. I checked out the ad for your new book and admit I’m shocked at how much money you’ve made. I am interested in learning Internet marketing, but am struggling financially and it may take a few months to be able to afford to buy your book - yes it’s pretty bad. I have extremely bad credit and am still paying off a student loan that has an ever growing interest rate (it’s increased 17 times because they can legally raise rates on student loans). Give me a little while and I will buy it. Have a great day Sean:)

Hi Bobby
Great to see you here again, mate. Things have been hectic, to say the least, since I released the book on Friday. I had a funny email from an American friend who said my sales letter was very “Hollywood” and “Hype”. I think I can take that as a compliment, somehow. It was from someone who knows me so that is OK. I found it funny though. It’s hard to tell the truth and have to hold back the facts, just to make it believable.
I’ll be in touch.
June 4th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Hi Sean
I’d love to read it and would be more than happy to help with the proof reading.
