Have you heard of Napoleon Hill Law Of Success? You have probably heard of his best selling book, Think And Grow Rich. It may come as a surprise to you, that he created that best selling book in 1937, from lesser known, The Law Of Success in 1928. It is a study course and a more detailed version of Think And Grow Rich.

From a very young age, and humble beginnings, Napoleon Hill thought about the differences between the most successful people in the world, and the rest of us. He wondered what it was about some people that enable them to become giants in the world of business, while most people never show a glimpse of such potential greatness. He wished he could meet some of these giants to discover their secrets.

It would not be long for Hill to get his wish, in a manner more spectacular than he had ever dared to dream. In 1908, at the age of 25, working as a reporter on a local newspaper, he talked his editor into running a series of articles Hill would write, based on interviews with extraordinary businessmen. This aided Hill in getting an appointment with one of the world's most successful industrialists, Andrew Carnegie, a man with a rags to riches story, more fantastic than any of its kind.

During the interview Carnegie confessed his belief that successful individuals follow a basic formula for success, and that formula would become apparent to anyone who would take on the task of interviewing hundreds of successful people, and collect & analyze the information. He said that once the formula was published, he believed anybody would be able to become successful. He asked if Hill believed he was up to such a daunting task, and let it be known, that he could help Hill secure interviews with many of the most successful persons alive.

You can imagine that Hill did not say he needed time to think it over. He accepted immediately and with tremendous gratitude, in a state of awe as his wildest dream was being unfolded before him. Now he would have access to the most powerful & successful people in the world. This was the beginning of a 20 year voyage that ultimately resulted in a nearly twelve hundred page study course, The Law Of Success.

There are actually 16 parts, or lessons, to The Law of Success: The Master Mind, The Golden Rule, A Definite Chief Aim, Tolerance, Self Confidence, Failure, The Habit of Saving, Co-operation, Initiative & Leadership, Concentration, Imagination, Accurate Thought, Enthusiasm, Pleasing Personality, Self Control, and the Habit of Doing More Than You Are Paid For.

Some people are shocked to learn that Andrew Carnegie did not support Napoleon Hill Law Of Success financially, but that was never part of the deal. After all was said and done, Hill gave the most credit for contributing to the project, to Carnegie and Henry Ford. Carnegie, of course, for inspiring and enabling him, and Ford for sharing so much time with him.
