Knowing the background of an accomplished empowerment and wealth creation teacher like Napoleon Hill lends his teachings a high dose of credibility. It appears to be a notable fact that many, if not most, inspiring self improvement authors started life with some sort of hardship. Rarely do we see someone born with abundance of worldly possessions and material wealth become a highly inspiring and well known motivational author.
Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill was born in the late 1800’s (1883-1970) and lived a long and successful life during which he proved that mastering your mind does certainly lead to success and wealth. Mr. Hill is another prime example of a man born into a modest family, who came to be famous beyond his own lifetime, and ultimately a contemporary of great wealthy and powerful men like Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, and President Franklin Roosevelt.
Napoleon Hill started life poor. He was born in a two-room cabin in rural Virginia. His mother died when he was a boy. Hill began writing at the tender age of 13 for a mountain newspaper and worked his way to success, fame, and prosperity from there. His early career as a newspaper reporter put him in contact with the famed steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, who prompted Hill to study the lives of successful and wealthy men to find the secret to their success, so that he could share it with others.
Think and Grow Rich
This was the impetus behind Think and Grow Rich. The book is based on research gathered from interviews with more than 500 wealthy men; from those interviews, Hill gleaned 13 principles shared by all rich men and women, principles he outlines in order to teach readers the secret to wealth creation. The book went on to become Hill’s best known work, and is valued here at Universal Wealth Creation as one of the most useful resources for people seeking to master the keys to wealth creation, and live better by doing so.
I will see you back here Monday and Thursday every week for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

Good on you! Every time you read it, you will grow. I look forward to sharing your journey. Maybe you can show me a few good Barramundi fishing spots when I visit your area.
Napoleon Hill was an amazing man and left an amazing legacy with all those years of research that went into writing Think and Grow Rich! I love the book and your Mindset Mastery book gives it an updated feel. I enjoyed reading it very much and appreciate the fact that we can pass it on so readily. Thanks for the inspiration Sean
Thank you Angela
I appreciate your compliments. I just sent a copy to one of my mentors today for him to read. Funny how it works, isn’t it?
It’s great to have another example of success due to your own merits. And even better, Napoleon Hill is a teacher who shows all of us (if we are interested) how we can shape our life and become successful through our own power.
Sean, you have done a great job in making his work accessible in a modern way and introducing it to thousands of people – Thanks!

Hi Sean,
Napoleon Hill has left this amazing legacy for anyone who wants to learn to develop the right mindset to create the life of their dreams. But, we are also fortunate that there are men like you who are willing to take these lessons and mentor those of us who are dedicated to improving our lives.
Hi Sean,
I have read the book Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill at least a couple of times and am half way through it again but I still have a question in my mind that I can’t quite pin-point the answer. That is in the introduction of the book titled “A Fifty Cent Lesson In Persistence” My question is, What was the power Napoleon Hill wrote about that Mr Derby witnessed. A power the child accidentally stumbled upon that made her master over her superior”
I don’t believe I have found it in the book yet. How can I find the answer?
Hi Jill I found it in Chapter 1 introduction of Think and Grow Rich in my book it is page 8
Hi Rita,
Thanks for your feedback. Do you mean you understood right away “what strange power that child did use” to conquer her master? And is said to have examples of “this power” throughout the book. Can you name that power, Rita ?
Jill.
