Think And Grow Rich

At the core of Think and Grow Rich are thirteen principles designed to help you unleash the power of your mind. By adopting and mastering these thirteen principles, you can tap into the divine power of the universe-what Napoleon Hill called “Infinite Intelligence.” That is the term Napoleon Hill uses to describe the Higher Power, Universal Mind, God Almighty, Jehovah, Yahweh, Holy Spirit or whatever phrase you choose

Decision

A vague wish is the opposite of a definite decision

Make a conscious decision – set a target and make a decision to aim for that target
You’ll need a certain state of mind to employ this principle
Be mindful of your thoughts and feelings to benefit from this philosophy

Persistence

The easiest and most common thing to do when faced with difficulty, temporary setback, or rejection is to quit.

The Secret of Think and Grow Rich

Your thoughts control your mindset, which creates your reality.

To put your thoughts into the right mindset to influence the “creative method of thought” is modifying your emotional state
If you are experiencing a negative emotion, like jealousy, fear, or anger, then you are creating a negative mental vibration
When you are in an emotional state of love, pleasure, laughter and happiness, you are sending out vibrational waves into the mind of infinite intelligence
The universal mind responds by sending back experiences and things that will make you resonate more of the same

Sixth Sense

Achieving a complete understanding of the other twelve principles prepares you to receive guidance from an infallible source: Infinite Intelligence.

Faith

Have faith in the process

Transform your ordinary thoughts into a spiritual force, which powers your communion with Infinite Intelligence
Exercise your creative faculty, which requires closing your mind completely to all that may dim your vision, quench your belief, or cause you to doubt

Self Suggestion

Self-talk is the words and mental scripts that you tell yourself

Your self-talk starts in your conscious, thinking mind, but if you repeat a certain phrase in your head enough times, it seeps into your subconscious
The subconscious is the fertile, creative aspect of your brain
Words that you say about yourself affect how you see yourself

Imagination

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve

The ability to use your imagination to see a picture in your mind of what you want starts the process of creation
Go ahead and dream big and have complete faith that Infinite Intelligence will do everything possible to make manifest your most vivid imaginings

Thirteen Principles of Think and Grow Rich

Thirteen principles are tools to hone and improve your mental faculties, and to help you connect to Infinite Intelligence

Think thoughts are things, and thinking in a certain way gives you the power to magnetize and attract anything you desire into your life

Summary of Think and Grow Rich

Your mind is a tool that is more powerful than you realize

Desire

The first step in attracting what you want is to cultivate a desire for it.

Mastermind

You must do it yourself, but you can’t do it alone

Create a mastermind with other talented entrepreneurs
When two or more people join their talent, knowledge, and effort to achieve a definite purpose, Hill argues, it’s almost as though a third mind enters the room

Transmutation

Every feeling has a vibration, and for you to come into harmony with the universal mind, you must be resonating on the same frequency as what you want to receive.

Use powerful positive emotions to make your mind oscillate on a higher frequency so that you can be in a position to ask for and receive what you really want.

Planning

Having a well-defined plan of how to achieve your goals is just as important as knowing which roads to take.

Sometimes you’ll take a wrong turn and deviate from the right path, so course correct when things go wrong. The sooner you course correct, the faster you reach your goal.

Knowledge

Knowledge attracts abundance when it is organized and intelligently directed through practical plans of action

Specialized knowledge can help you to become wealthy, whereas general knowledge is useless
Have faith that your plan will produce the outcome you desire
Hill differentiates specialized knowledge (knowledge organized and used for action) from general knowledge

Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is the power center of your mental activity and has dominion over every vital function taking place in your miraculous body and brain

It processes material, energy, and thought and transforms it into living tissue to maintain life
Transforms ideas, plans, dreams, and desires into material form
Visions abundance

The Brain

The brain operates at specific set frequencies

Emotions: love, hate, despair, fear, confidence, self-esteem
A radio can only provide sound when the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency
In the same way, if you want your brain to provide wealth, then you have to make sure that your emotions reflect that frequency
