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.
