Andrew Carnegie

Think And Grow Rich, Finding The Carnegie Wealth Secret

In the authors preface of “Think And Grow Rich” Napoleon Hill states that the Carnegie Wealth Secret appears at least once in every chapter. It is interesting that different successful people who read the book often come up with different answers of what that secret is. Hill goes on to say:

As a final word of preparation, before you begin the first chapter, may I offer one brief suggestion which may provide a clue by which the Carnegie secret may be recognized? It is this–ALL ACHIEVEMENT, ALL EARNED RICHES, HAVE THEIR BEGINNING IN AN IDEA! If you are ready for the secret, you already possess one half of it, therefore, you will readily recognize the other half the moment it reaches your mind.

Something that you can easily pick up in every chapter, and the answer most given as to what the Carnegie Wealth Secret is: “see yourself,” or “visualize. ” See yourself where you want to be even before you are physically there. Napoleon Hill didn’t make it easy, and yet it is there in plain sight.

Just Where Is The Secret Hidden In Think and Grow Rich

Did you pick visualization or a different answer? Have you read “Think And Grow Rich” and come away scratching your head, wondering what the secret was?

What we find is even those successful people who give an answer other than visualization, when questioned, do in fact perform visualization related to their goals. All of them picked up the idea of a goals list and of reviewing it regularly. Many of them say the secret is “Written Goals.” Written goals are certainly important, but it’s what they do with that goals list that matters. When they review it they begin to see the completion of those goals in their minds. So without exception each one performs visualization.

Most highly successful people see their success in their minds before they see it in reality. The kind of success might be wealth, love, sports, but always the most successful “see it” first.

Dennis Waitley is the author of “The Seeds of Greatness” and many other books. He is also a success coach who has coached Astronauts for NASA and athletes for the US Olympic teams. He talks about visualization too. He points out that athletes who visualize perform significantly better than those who don’t and that it is measurable. It is something that you can see benefits from very soon. Another way he puts it is, “do within while you’re without.” I love that.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
–Eleanor Roosevelt

Hold the vision of the life you want is a prime tenant of the Law of Attraction. This law of attraction process is also empowering and is a big part of Nancy Wylde’s life. Nancy writes about the women’s empowerment in a book called “Ticket To Freedom.” The book chronicles the authors transformational moments in moving from a life structured by other peoples ideas for her and how her life should be to a life of freedom – a life that she has created. Nancy compels all women (men too) to examine the beliefs they maybe living with and the effect of those beliefs on their lives. She explores self improvement technologies that she has employed to advance her life.

Nancy’s story in Ticket To Freedom is compelling and I asked her for an interview. It begins with her story and finishes with a discussion of methods that you (woman or man) can use to gain the empowerment you need.

The Empowerment of Women Interview

The book teaches anyone who reads it to build self-esteem and create a vision of and move toward the life you want. It’s a great read.

Nancy’s mission is to empower women and this is not to disparage men but rather she has seen the life of a single mother raising children. She is from Australia where not so long ago a woman left alone with children may well have meant that they had just all received a death sentence because of the harshness of the countryside.

Visualize The Life You Want

Visualize The Life You Want

There is an article on this site about Life Mapping. It’s about your goals in life and creating a vision of those things and of the person you want to be. What you bring to the process now and how you can grow those good things in your life by having objectives. And this is an important process to go through – have a look at the article.

The law of attraction suggests the life mapping process will help you move forward because your focus moves to the places you want to go to rather than something that may be sitting in your path in this moment, or something you see in your path a little way down the road. Life mapping is a tool that can help with the law of attraction because it focuses on where you want to be and sets aside limits.

Keep The Vision Fresh

Can you keep this vision fresh everyday when you look to it? Life mapping helps you formulate the outcomes that you use in your visualization and meditation.

From Vision To Inspiration

Allow your life map inspired vision to take on a life of it’s own. This is inspiration as the vision moves from your thoughts to changing on it’s own. Inspiration happens when there is stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity. Inspiration is divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind.

Life mapping is an essential part of stimulating the mind in the direction you’d like to go. As you are formulating your mind map you need to let go of limits. Recall at one time no one believed that the four minute mile could be broken and now it’s done not just at the college level but also high school. The false belief has been removed and along with it artificial limitations. Clear yourself of such false limitations in order to allow your vision to take form and be truly inspired.

States of Joy

As you unleash visions based on your life mapping just know it’s a perfect day as you begin. You don’t need to know why, only that it is. If you know why – that’s fine – but that it is a perfect day is all you need.

Joy comes from gratitude and appreciation. Can you maintain a state of gratitude, can you appreciate where you are in life or do you just notice the things that aren’t quite right. Often when people make goals they stop there. If you’ve stopped there you have probably just spent a lot of time reviewing everything you don’t like about your life and want to change. I weigh too much, I don’t make enough money, and any number of other items where you don’t feel you measure up to the person you want to be. The danger is two-fold. You are focusing on your problems, you are making a lot of work for yourself. It is important to change this around a bit.

Instead of setting goals by looking at your short comings look out to that perfect day in the future where everything is right in your life. Look out and be grateful that you are that person – can you appreciate that this accomplished person is you? And that accomplished person is grateful for the good things, that person looks back at you and smiles and you see love and feel a connectedness unlike you have known. Make life mapping work for you – go into the vision and reach back to yourself now and share the joy and gratitude. Pass back the good things that you feel and enjoy them now.

Connecting To The Future

In your heart you get the message coming to you. This great accomplished person is connected with you now and loves you in a profound way and appreciates all that you are doing now because your actions have created this perfect day. And as you look to yourself and you look back you experience that moment now, you share the joy with yourself. It is the gratitude and appreciation flowing both ways on the time line that is your life.

Out of this gratitude faith comes and with faith and belief all things are possible. Don’t make yourself do anything, see the vision, see that person who is you on one of what will be many perfect days and this thing that you are considering doing, how does it connect you to this perfect day, does it have a connection, is it something that will help take you there? The joy of this perfect day and the activity you are considering, aren’t they really one? Can you do the activity with the gratitude of the person you are on that perfect day looking back and giving thanks that you did the things that are necessary to get there? It is you today who has built that life – can you enjoy that now?

And when you need some encouragement can you look out to that person, smile, and reconnect to that bond – that energy between the two of you?

Connecting To Your Past

Your life is a wheel and you sit in the hub, look down any spoke and see yourself past, present, and future. Look back the other direction from that perfect day and see the kid back there. Was he struggling or was it good. Smile back at that little person and communicate the good to him. Let him know that he is valuable and important and thank him for all he is doing – it is important and even if he has made some mistakes you’ve learned from them and he has set the foundation of your success. Go back to him often and help him see those things that he may not be aware of that will move him in the direction he needs to go.

Life mapping can help you connect with your visions in a way that will inspire you. As it does reach back and connect with that part of you in the past that also wanted to achieve and succeed. Pass some of that joy back to him and can you see that he will pass it back forward to you now and increase the joy, and resolution, and drive that is within you? Your bad memories will clear and the joyful memories will take their place, new heights of possibility and achievement will overtake you. Life mapping with the visualization that empowers the law of attraction will take you to new levels of joy, empowerment, gratitude, action and success.

THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS TO THE MIND EXCEPT THOSE WE ACKNOWLEDGE

BOTH POVERTY AND RICHES ARE THE OFFSPRING OF THOUGHT

Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich stands as the most famous success book of the 20th century. A few weeks back we identified chapters 3 and 4 as pivotal in the book and congruent with “The Science of Getting Rich.” Audio of chapter 3 was published last year and now here is the promised chapter 4.

Napoleon Hill names auto-suggestion as the key-stone of Think And Grow Rich. Auto-suggestion puts instructions from you directly into your subconscious mind and begins a process whereby you will be contacted back by an inspiration from infinite intelligence. An inspiration that will take you to your objective. To the thing which you instructed your subconscious mind to aquire.

Hill recommends reading the chapter every night aloud until you develop faith in the principals it states. Likewise your goal must be repeated and visualized. If you are seeking money you must visualize it until you see, in your mind, the money that you seek. I might add that you can even smell it.

Here is the chapter 4 recording:
