Two more reasons to read and reread Napoleon Hill’s classic, from Jim Rohrbach:
Definiteness of purpose – Early on, Hill asks you to
write a "statement of your major purpose, or definite chief aim," talking about crafting what we would commonly call a Mission Statement more than 50 years before Stephen Covey popularized the term in his 1989 book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Success stories – Throughout the book, there are tales of courageous actions by people who took an idea, then "thought and grew rich." These include the men who began famous organizations like United States Steel, Coca Cola Corporation, the Ford Motor Company and Marshall Field’s department store in Chicago. Not to mention the story of the founding of a country just sough of Canada: In the chapter on "Decision," Hill chronicles the decisive action 56 men took in signing their own "death warrant" – the Declaration of Independence – on July 4, 1776. This began the little experiment in democracy known as the United States of America.
