“Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.”

- Napoleon Hill

     "Napoleon Hill was born into poverty in 1883 in a one-room cabin in Wise
County, Virginia. At the age of 10 his mother died, and two years later his father
remarried. He became a very defiant lad, but developed into an incredible man.
He began his writing career at the age of 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small
town newspapers and went on to become America’s most beloved motivational
author. Fighting against all sorts of great disadvantages and pressures, he
dedicated more than 25 years of his life to define the reasons by which so many
people fail to achieve true financial success and happiness in their lives.

     During this time he achieved great success as an attorney and journalist. His
early occupation as a reporter helped to fund his way through law school. He was
given a project to write a series of success stories of famous men, and his big
break came when he was asked to interview steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie. Mr.
Carnegie commissioned Hill to interview over 500 millionaires to find a blueprint
for success that could be used by the average person. These included Thomas
Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, Charles M. Schwab,
Theodore Roosevelt, William Wrigley Jr., John Wanamaker, William Jennings
Bryan, George Eastman, Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller,
F. W. Woolworth, Jennings Randolph, among others.

     Hill ultimately became an advisor to Andrew Carnegie, and with Carnegie’s
assistance he formulated a philosophy of success, drawing on the thoughts and personal experience of a multitude of rags-to-riches tycoons. It took Hill over 20
years to produce this book, a classic in the Personal Development field. Think and
Grow Rich has sold over 9 million copies and has helped thousands attain true
success.

     The secret to success is very simple but you will have to read the book to learn
it for yourself."
