Interview with Napoleon Hill

This is a great interview with Napoleon Hill about his meeting with David Carnegie

In his course ‘Six Minutes To Success’, Bob Proctor, who appeared in the movie ‘The Secret’ gives an insight into what Napoleon Hill wrote in his book ‘Think and Grow Rich’.  Napoleon tells us the first step is to fix in our minds the EXACT amount of money we desire.

It’s not sufficient to say ‘ I want plenty of money’. You have to be definite as to the amount. Bob did this many years ago after he first read the book. He wrote down on a piece of card exactly how much money he wanted and then kept that card in his pocket.

In his case it was exactly $25,000 and he had no idea where that money was going to come from. In fact when he was writing tha mount, he didn’t even believe it could happen.

The second step, Napoleon Hill tells us, is to determine EXACTLY what YOU intend to GIVE in return for the money you desire. There is no reality as ‘something for nothing’. It isn’t just going to happen.

A lot of people presume that by using the Law of Attraction and vizualization on their own, without doing anything else, money and riches will come out of nowhere. Why would that happen? In the movie ‘The Secret’, this was one of the criticisms fo it. People believed that they didn’t have to do anything apart from asking i.e you ask for something and it appears at your door. 

Well that isn’t exactly how it happens unfortunately. You have to create a space for the good that you desire so that is why you have to detemine what you will give in return for that desire to manifest.

Step number three is to establish a definite date when you intend for that desire to manifest. So for example if you’re wanting a ferrari or new house, like any other goal, you need to put a time limit on it for when you want to achieve it.

Because you will be guessing at this stage about how long it will take to achieve, you will need to be guided by your feelings on how long you think it will take and say to yourself  ’it will take me this long’. Don’t give yourself an enormous amount of time. Make it shorter and focus on what you want to achieve. Focus increase amplitude of vibration – it puts more energy into it.

So decide on the date and write it down. But remember if you don’t achieve it by that date then give yourself an extension.

Step number four is to create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and to begin at once whether you are ready or not to put the plan into action. A lot of people always get ready and get set BUT never go. The diffence between those people and those who succeed is that the latter move into action. You’ve got to put that energy out if you want the universe to give it back. So ask yourself right now what you can do TODAY that will carry you in the direction of the good that you desire.
