Is the Publisher of Think and Grow Rich Sabotaging your Success?

Now we’ll look at the rest of the publisher’s preface in Think and Grow Rich. As I mentioned before, I am slowly dissecting the text (and that’s what it is; a textbook for success and Napoleon Hill meant it to be used as “lessons”) but you can go as slow or as fast as you want and then visit my words whenever you want to. And know that my words are my words and thoughts. You need to write (in the margin of the book) your words and thoughts.

Hill calls this work “a volume” and the publisher here relates how the reader will find 13 “money making” principles which are “essential” to “guarantee” financial independence.

These are strong words and I encourage you to take them to heart. The “guarantee” depends on whether you, the reader, guarantee that you’ll act on those principles. My suggestion is that when they appear in the book that you write them down and evaluate where you are with each, set some goals with each and make them happen!

Also, the publisher states that “riches cannot always be measured in money”.

Is the Publisher of Think and Grow Rich Sabotaging your Success? 

I would caution you that these are the publisher’s words and not that of Hill. This may be an attempt to rationalize your success; for those who are always saying things like “money isn’t everything” and “I don’t like (or need) money”. These, of course, are “rational lies”. This book IS about money and how to make more of it. I will tell you here that “riches are measured in money”. Now wait a moment, I’ll get to your thoughts.

Yes, you can be “rich” in friends and other things but the word “rich” has mostly to do with money. Don’t confuse this with “wealth”. Rich is money, wealth is abundance in all the other areas of your life. Money is only one part of what I’ve termed “The Major 8™” which is the track that I have created and use in my coaching to help my clients achieve success through balance and wisdom.

The "Major 8" is a group of desires of almost all people. Anything not listed in the "Major 8" will most likely fall under one of the categories. When you are doing well in all 8 areas, you have balance in your life. Here they are:

Perfect Health

Enjoyment of Food

Restful Sleep

Money (Enough to Share and Spare)

Life & Legacy (I am “The Life & Legacy Coach™)

Sexual Gratification

The wellbeing of Friends and Loved Ones

The feeling of Importance and Respect

I’m not trying to get you thinking so much about these eight areas just now but only to show you that “money” is only one of these areas; yes, it is a “big” area but not the “only” area. I suggest that when you have the other seven in balance that you indeed have “wealth”.

“… these higher estates which always have been and always will be denied to all except those who are ready for them”.

Think and Grow Rich will help you to become “ready for them” but note too that this is a journey where you’ll continue to become “ready for them”. Bob Proctor understands the journey and has walked it daily by reading the book at least for several minutes each day, and has for; well, I’ll let Bob tell you how many years. Understand also that where you have been brought you to where you are today; good, bad or otherwise. Jack Canfield calls this, “So what”. However, know that it “filters” your view on life and what you’ll read in this material. Write in the margins, in a journal and revisit your words and thoughts and see how things change as you change!

The last sentence in the publisher’s preface speaks of being prepared “… for the accumulation of material riches in abundance”.

That is exactly what you’ll get an experience with discipline, diligence and deciding how to go forward with what you’ll receive by reading (and sharing) the wisdom in this book. Thousands of men and women have created millions for themselves and others and you will too!

Go forth and do great things!

I’m looking forward to our time together when we continue with Napoleon Hill’s thoughts as we’ll next go over the author’s preface.
