Napoleon Hill Biography

Napoleon Hill (October 26, 1883-Pound,Virginia to November 8, 1970-Greenville, South Carolina).  Hill owned and was involved in several businesses during his career.  He is best known for his self-help and personal development writings and lectures.  His most popular book Think and Grow Rich is listed among the top 10 best selling personal development books ever written.

His other writings include: The Law of Success, The Magic Ladder of Success, Outwitting the Devil, How to Sell Your Way Through Life, The Master-Key to Riches, How to Raise Your Own Salary, Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude (with W. Clement Stone), Grow Rich!: With Peace of Mind, Succeed and Grow Rich Through Persuasion, and You Can Work Your Own Miracles.

His writings have also directly influenced the teachings of John C. Maxwell, Norman Vincent Peale, and Rhonda Byrne (Author of The Secret)

Highlight of the philosophy and teachings from his works:

  • Freedom, democracy, capitalism, and harmony are among the concepts that he believed make all achievement possible.
  • Overcoming racism, slavery, failure, war, and poverty is the responsibility of everyone.
  • Failure is often caused by fear and selfishness and is a necessary part of anyone’s path to success.
  • Fear is the most common obstacle that we face as we strive for success and often proves to be the toughest one to overcome.  Fear is the main cause of procrastination.  Fear of failure, fear of being criticized, fear of aging, fear of death, and fear of losing love are among the main fears he suggests need to be faced.
  • Thoughts are powerful things in themselves and that how a person thinks is the biggest influencing factor on the success that they can achieve.
  • A burning desire is the starting point of all achievement.
  • A belief that a goal is achievable is essential to success.  You can instill that belief in yourself by auto-suggestion and daily affirmations.
  • Successful individuals form Masterminds–that is meeting formally with people you can learn from and who can learn from you.
  • Our subconscious mind holds the key to success.  It stores everything we have ever thought, heard, read, seen, and experienced.  It controls many of our actions and habits on auto-pilot.
  • To achieve any goal that we consider worthy, we must feed our subconscious mind postive thoughts to develop faith in ourselves that we can achieve and have what we are after.  The way to improve the workings of our subconscious mind is by communicating (via auto-suggestion) positive thoughts and affirmations.
