13 principles from think and grow rich by Nepolion hill, in Nepolion hill's book think and grow rich, he has divided them into 13 principles, he also called 13 principles of success, the Principles are: Desire, Faith, Auto Suggestion, Specialized Knowledge, Imagination, Organized Planning, Decision, Persistence, Power of Master Mind, The Mystery of Sex transmutation, The Subconscious Mind, The Brain, The Sixth Sense.
Think and grow rich is the collection of the 13 most common habits of wealthy and successful people, Nepolion hill, study's 500 individual over the course of 20 years.
Nepolion hill, spent the majority of his life studying people and there habits, and the 13 principles of success he shares in this book. It was published in 1937 by Nepolion hill. This book has sold more than 100 million copies world wide.
If Rich Dad Poor Dad is the Bible for, How to be a Rich man?, then Think And Grow Rich is the Bible for successful people. The principles are :
Hill, himself, was fortunate that his association with Carnegie, and the
other self-made successful people that Carnegie introduced him to,
enabled him, over time, to discard any core beliefs he may have had about wealth or poverty and success or failure and to take on new core beliefs. He was, in effect, brainwashed by his own research into the principles of success so that his core beliefs became those he wrote about.
You may have to do the same…brainwash yourself…cleanse your mind of any limiting core beliefs you may hold so that new empowering beliefs can be installed. How to do that is addressed in the seLFTech Success
Library. All the tools you need are there waiting for you to discover and
apply so that you may achieve the success you desire.
"Faith is," indeed, to quote Christianity's greatest salesman, Paul, "the evidence of things not (yet) seen."
Doubt can turn a molehill into a
mountain. Faith can move mountains.
Know this…there are two separate energetic vibrational outputs of human consciousness that lead to creation, or conscious manifestation, when they are braided together. The first is concrete, specific, repetitive, idealized thought combined with desire (the emotionalized thought that Hill refers to). The second is firm, profound belief in the actuality of an ideal combined with intentionality of behavior. Have faith. It shall come to pass.
Here is why the quiet time is ideal for auto-suggestion or affirmation.
When you intentionally think about, repeat and affirm your ideals, you
are planting the seeds that will grow to bear fruit. When your mind is busy with all kinds of distracting thoughts, or worse, non-contributory or negative thoughts, you are planting your seeds amongst an abundance of weeds.
When your mind is still and focused, you are, in effect, preparing fresh and fertile, weed-free, ground in which to plant your thought seeds. In addition to preparing the ideal mental ground to plant your thought seeds, meditation also stills your mind so that intuition can be accessed, insight can be attained and your connectivity to the absolute can be ascertained. Since all creativity springs from the potentiality of the infinite and absolute, it only makes practical sense to become as intimate with the infinite as you can manage. Meditation is the well-worn and proven method of achieving this intimacy.
You are fortunate beyond measure in comparison to those who lived when Hill originally wrote Think and Grow Rich. Not only is the ignorance of and prejudice against meditation almost gone from the educated people of today, there are now several advanced techniques enabled by scientific understanding and application of brainwave states and their relationship to mental activity.
We have all been, in a sense, brainwashed by our parents, our teachers and our societal groupthink to hold certain expectations and certain beliefs. Choosing to enact what Hill calls autosuggestion and affirmation is choosing to do your own intentional brainwashing (or what Leary, Bateson, Lilly and others have called 'meta-programming your own bio-computer') in order to program yourself for success. Hill proposed writing down your ideals and goals on 3x5 cards and carrying them with you. I support this. There is something magical in writing (not typing).
Today, however, you can also record your goals, ideals and affirmations into MP3 files and listen to them while driving, walking or standing in line at the bank to deposit your developing wealth. Your own voice, repeating, over and over again, your affirmations of your ideals and goals will implant these into your subconscious tape loop that runs in the background 24/7.
You may find that shocking or, at least contrary to everything you've been taught, but it is true. Knowledge only becomes valuable in its application. You may have heard that knowledge is power. Wrong. It is applied knowledge that begets power, wealth and the advancement of humanity.
The secret is in the application, not in the knowledge itself. For years, I considered myself to be highly educated about success. I willfully ignored the evidence of my own lack of success, considering it a temporary aberration. Once, I really got that it is the application, not the possession, of knowledge that produces results, I went from average tohighly successful in a matter of months.
Hill does point out, in the first paragraph of this chapter, that although universities possess perhaps all of the aggregate knowledge of
humankind, professors, for the most part, although surrounded by all this
knowledge and though very knowledgeable, have themselves little or no money; while many people of little formal education go on to produce great wealth and great material advancements for all humanity.
He also alludes to, but does not spell out plainly, that the very best form
of specialized knowledge, that a person who desires success and wealth can obtain, is the knowledge of how to become successful. How sad it is to teach our children to aspire to success but not teach them how to get it. We teach them that an education will bring them success and happiness, but neglect to tell them what specific education that is and further neglect to say that it is the application of the specific education that will bring success and happiness.
intentional and purposeful. Decision produces results. It can, also be said
that the failure to decide is, in itself, a decision, a decision to let your life
be governed by event and circumstance. Decision can be called choice by design. Lack of decisiveness is choice by default. It is also a choice. It is the decision to choose unhappiness, mediocrity and commonality.
Napoleon Hill's first sentence in the second paragraph above, and they
treat their decisions like men treat a TV remote control, constantly
changing from one expectation to another.
A long attention span, combined with determination, is an attribute
shared by all successful people. These days most people don't have the
attention span of a gnat. They channel surf. Their opinions change from
day to day. They cannot read anything longer than a USA Today article.
They move from fad to fad. They change from one business opportunity to the next without ever waiting for their work to bear fruit.
Thomas Edison commented that 90% of people quit 90% of the way to
accomplishing their goals. These days it is 99% who quit a mere 20% of
the way. Those who persist, win. Those who do not, lose. That is as true today as it was 60 years ago when Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich.
It seems that the only thing that most people have the capacity to persist
with is their bad habits of thinking and believing. Despite the
overwhelming evidence that the way they think and what they believe is
not producing the results they desire, they persist in hanging on to what
does not work.
Calvin Coolidge said it clearly:
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent
will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent."
The mystery of sex transmutation. Utilize the sexual desire and its powerful energy to transform it to enhance imagination, courage, willpower, persistence and creativity. Hill says, “Love, Romance, and Sex are all emotions capable of driving men to heights of super achievement. When combined, these three emotions many lift one to an altitude of genius.
It was not until I studied Kundalini, the Chakras and began to understand
the true vibratory nature of creation that it became clear that what Hill
was talking about was a prime metaphysical understanding about creative energy and how to utilize it. It was also, as he predicted, not until I had passed my fortieth birthday that I actually began to clue into what he was talking about.
We have, culturally, so many moralistic assumptions and beliefs about
sexual energy that we prevent ourselves from fully understanding what it is and what it is capable of. The whole subject is so complex that several books could be (and have been) written about the subject without fully explaining it.
Many women today may understandably be put off by Hill's seemingly sexist attitude. However, it is a huge mistake to miss the vital importance of Hill's message in this chapter by dismissing his supposed prejudice through some prejudice of one's own.
First, it should be understood that he was immersed in the culture of his
times. Second, it should not be missed that women have a greater innate
capacity to consciously use sexual energy and attractiveness to get what
they want in life and that many men need to be educated about their own
power.
Sexual energy is also closely related to charisma and charisma attracts
not only people, but wealth and power.
The drive for success is 'coincidently' often also strongest in those who
also have a high sexual drive. The truly empowered person is one who
has learned, as Hill says, to transmute much of that sexual energy into
creative energy and not squander it in vain physical pursuits.
Most people have little understanding of the workings of their conscious
mind and even less understanding of the workings of their subconscious
mind. Here are the essential understandings you need to acquire:
It is the subconscious mind, NOT the conscious mind that exerts
the most control over your beliefs, thoughts and actions and thus,
your results.
The subconscious mind is the source of insight, intuition,
imagination and creativity.
The subconscious mind is also your direct link to the collective
subconsciousness of humanity, which also has a greater influence
on your beliefs, thoughts and actions than does your conscious
mind.
The subconscious mind is also your direct link to universal
consciousness, which is the source of all power and creativity.
Your subconscious mind is accessible only when you learn how to
still the hyper activity of the conscious mind. Meditation
techniques are the best way to accomplish this control.
The attributes of the brain are quite simple. It is a mass of biological
material that permits electrochemical activity. The attributes of the mind
are quite a bit more complex.
Although there is some
truth to the idea that brainwave activity spikes momentarily during
periods of intense creativity, it is now pretty well understood that
creativity, insight, intuition and the so-called super-learning state come
about when brainwave activity is reduced (not increased) from the
normal Beta frequencies of 15 to 75 cycles per second (cps) to the Alpha
state frequencies of between 7 to 14 cps.
It is through the deliberate slowing down of the activities of the conscious mind that the subconscious attributes of mind can be accessed. Deeper
meditative states like Theta, which exhibits brainwave activity of between 4 to 6 cps provide access to even deeper subconscious attributes of mind and to the collective subconsciousness of humanity. Deeper still is the Delta state of ½ to 4 cps, wherein the infinite universal intelligence can be both perceived and accessed.
It is now understood that the average human has about 60,000 thoughts
per day; 99% of these are non-productive, non-contributory random
subconscious noise. The few who learn how to examine and exert control over the thoughts that they allow to pass through mind are the ones who attain, achieve and accomplish so much more than their fellows.

refusing to fulfill his destiny. And so he did. And what a great work it has
proven to be.

What Hill calls the sixth sense is your direct and intimate connection to
the infinite, ineffable universal mind, source of all that is and all that can
be. You are the channel whereby the infinite makes manifest the finite.
You are wealthy beyond measure. All you need to do is to claim your
birthright.
Think and grow rich is the collection of the 13 most common habits of wealthy and successful people, Nepolion hill, study's 500 individual over the course of 20 years.
Nepolion hill, spent the majority of his life studying people and there habits, and the 13 principles of success he shares in this book. It was published in 1937 by Nepolion hill. This book has sold more than 100 million copies world wide.
If Rich Dad Poor Dad is the Bible for, How to be a Rich man?, then Think And Grow Rich is the Bible for successful people. The principles are :
1. Desire
Most people want to be successful. Wanting success is a waste of time.
Worse, it just produces frustration. Only a burning, all-consuming, fervent and passionate desire will produce the exceptional results that make up
true success.
Wanting is best understood by its second meaning in the dictionary: lack.
To want for something is to lack something and so long as you merely
want success, you will lack success. Wanting is mere wishful thinking.
Desire, on the other hand, is an extremely potent force. It is a supreme motivator. It is a metaphysical principle of creation.
Desire is an energetic emanation of the human spirit that enacts the law
of attraction. Desire is the metaphysical equivalent of gravity. Desire draws to you the thing desired, or the elements that will constitute the thing desired. Desire is the fuel that ignites the fire that transmutes
thoughts into things.
The sad truth about most people who claim to want success is that they
actually do not desire success. What they desire is comfort and security.
The path to real success often demands that you give up comfort and security in order to gain rewards greater than mere creature comforts
and minor financial security.
For years, I wanted to be a millionaire. I wanted and wanted to no avail.
It was not until, one day, in my frustration and anger, I graduated from wanting to truly desiring success, and, as a result, I was almost magically catapulted into millionaire status.
It was the burning passion of fervent desire that pushed me out of my
comfort zone of mediocrity and security and empowered me to achieve real success.
It was my desire that enabled me to get past the fear of failure and get past the frustrations of obstacles to achieve the success I had wanted for so many years. You must have or develop a burning passion for success. Without it, you are highly unlikely to achieve it. Get passionate or stay home.
This is critical…your desire must be specific. It must be attached to a
clear and specific ideal, a clear and consistent thought picture of what
success means to you. Desire is one of them.
2. Faith
Your faith in your ideal and your faith in your right to the havingness of this ideal is crucial to your being able to end up having it.
Most people have their faith or belief formed by the evidence of what has
already happened or been made manifest. As a result, they find it difficult to believe in things that are not historically proven. If what has been historically proven for the masses and for you personally (thus far) is mediocrity, then without the belief in the potentiality of success as being 'as real as' the actuality of mediocrity, you will not be able to achieve the imagined ideal of success.
Hill also goes on to say that autosuggestion or repeated affirmations can enable faith and belief. He does not address the issue of core beliefs that can, despite all affirmations to the contrary, imprison a person in lack and limitation.
other self-made successful people that Carnegie introduced him to,
enabled him, over time, to discard any core beliefs he may have had about wealth or poverty and success or failure and to take on new core beliefs. He was, in effect, brainwashed by his own research into the principles of success so that his core beliefs became those he wrote about.
You may have to do the same…brainwash yourself…cleanse your mind of any limiting core beliefs you may hold so that new empowering beliefs can be installed. How to do that is addressed in the seLFTech Success
Library. All the tools you need are there waiting for you to discover and
apply so that you may achieve the success you desire.
"Faith is," indeed, to quote Christianity's greatest salesman, Paul, "the evidence of things not (yet) seen."
Doubt can turn a molehill into a
mountain. Faith can move mountains.
Know this…there are two separate energetic vibrational outputs of human consciousness that lead to creation, or conscious manifestation, when they are braided together. The first is concrete, specific, repetitive, idealized thought combined with desire (the emotionalized thought that Hill refers to). The second is firm, profound belief in the actuality of an ideal combined with intentionality of behavior. Have faith. It shall come to pass.
3. Auto Suggestion
When you intentionally think about, repeat and affirm your ideals, you
are planting the seeds that will grow to bear fruit. When your mind is busy with all kinds of distracting thoughts, or worse, non-contributory or negative thoughts, you are planting your seeds amongst an abundance of weeds.
When your mind is still and focused, you are, in effect, preparing fresh and fertile, weed-free, ground in which to plant your thought seeds. In addition to preparing the ideal mental ground to plant your thought seeds, meditation also stills your mind so that intuition can be accessed, insight can be attained and your connectivity to the absolute can be ascertained. Since all creativity springs from the potentiality of the infinite and absolute, it only makes practical sense to become as intimate with the infinite as you can manage. Meditation is the well-worn and proven method of achieving this intimacy.
You are fortunate beyond measure in comparison to those who lived when Hill originally wrote Think and Grow Rich. Not only is the ignorance of and prejudice against meditation almost gone from the educated people of today, there are now several advanced techniques enabled by scientific understanding and application of brainwave states and their relationship to mental activity.
We have all been, in a sense, brainwashed by our parents, our teachers and our societal groupthink to hold certain expectations and certain beliefs. Choosing to enact what Hill calls autosuggestion and affirmation is choosing to do your own intentional brainwashing (or what Leary, Bateson, Lilly and others have called 'meta-programming your own bio-computer') in order to program yourself for success. Hill proposed writing down your ideals and goals on 3x5 cards and carrying them with you. I support this. There is something magical in writing (not typing).
Today, however, you can also record your goals, ideals and affirmations into MP3 files and listen to them while driving, walking or standing in line at the bank to deposit your developing wealth. Your own voice, repeating, over and over again, your affirmations of your ideals and goals will implant these into your subconscious tape loop that runs in the background 24/7.
4. Specialized Knowledge
You may find that shocking or, at least contrary to everything you've been taught, but it is true. Knowledge only becomes valuable in its application. You may have heard that knowledge is power. Wrong. It is applied knowledge that begets power, wealth and the advancement of humanity.
The secret is in the application, not in the knowledge itself. For years, I considered myself to be highly educated about success. I willfully ignored the evidence of my own lack of success, considering it a temporary aberration. Once, I really got that it is the application, not the possession, of knowledge that produces results, I went from average tohighly successful in a matter of months.
Hill does point out, in the first paragraph of this chapter, that although universities possess perhaps all of the aggregate knowledge of
humankind, professors, for the most part, although surrounded by all this
knowledge and though very knowledgeable, have themselves little or no money; while many people of little formal education go on to produce great wealth and great material advancements for all humanity.
He also alludes to, but does not spell out plainly, that the very best form
of specialized knowledge, that a person who desires success and wealth can obtain, is the knowledge of how to become successful. How sad it is to teach our children to aspire to success but not teach them how to get it. We teach them that an education will bring them success and happiness, but neglect to tell them what specific education that is and further neglect to say that it is the application of the specific education that will bring success and happiness.
Hill makes great use of the story of Henry Ford proving, in the courtroom,
that although he was uneducated, he was not ignorant, because, as he
said it, "any time I should wish to know something specific, I can simply
push a button on my desk and some person who knows the answer will
come to provide it to me."
These days, with the accumulation of information and training being as
easy as the 'click of a mouse', there is no excuse for not being successful
in any field, except that you are ignorant of the principles of success, or for some personal perversity, refuse to apply them to your life.
5. Imagination
Use your imagination. Ideas come out of your imagination. Once you have an idea, develop it. Hill says Coca-Cola came out of a single idea. Look what that single idea has created.
The creation of wealth can be obtained, with diligence, through the
informed and practical use of synthetic imagination, but most wealth and most advancement in human
technology comes about through the use of creative imagination.
Succinctly put, your imagination is the workshop in which you, mostly
without conscious recognition, create the results that show up in your life.
What you hold as an image in your mind is what shows up in your life.
If what you are imagining is simply a rehash of what has already occurred
or been created by others, then your results shall be limited to what has
been, not what can be. The sad, sad, sad thing that we inflict upon our
children and ourselves is the dampening of imagination. 'It is only in your imagination,' is the common refrain. We neglect tell them or reinforce that all great and wonderful things that exist in our world had their genesis 'only in imagination'.
What is not recognized, honored and amplified is that it is the dreamers,
the imaginers, who go on to produce the new, the wonderful, the unique
advancements that end up creating, not only personal wealth, but greater
wealth and well-being for all humankind.
6. Organized Planning
To succeed in any undertaking, you must have the knowledge and direct that knowledge toward your desired goal. Thoughts must be put into action and for action to translate into results, there must be a proper plan to execute the action. Capitalism is all about organised planning. Capitalists organise their plans and act accordingly.
Every noteworthy or great accomplishment came about because there was a plan. What Hill should have done (and does do in other chapters) is point out the need to have concrete written goals that are in harmony with one's chosen purpose and/or ideals. Goals are not vague aspirations like, 'I want to be rich.'
They are concrete, defined steps in the fulfillment of your personal vision or
purpose. They are a specific plan.
I am always amazed by how many people continue to refuse (through
laziness or a lack of belief in the necessity) to have clear, concise, written goals, despite being presented again and again with the evidence that those who do have written goals succeed and those who do not…do not.
There have been many studies about the effectiveness of having written
goals. They invariably show the same results.95% of people who have (and daily refer to) written goals end up
accomplishing them. 95% of people who do not have written goals, do not accomplish much of anything.
If you can read this paragraph and not have begun the process of having
written goals by the time you go to bed tonight, you should know that you
are choosing failure.
Businesses that succeed have a business plan. The business of life also requires a plan.
When you have a plan, you know what you are about; you know when
you are on (or off) track; you can measure your progress; you can tell
others who might enroll in your vision what it is that needs doing; you can
provide leadership to all those who enroll in your plan; and most.
7. Decision
Napoleon Hill says this, "Analysis of several hundred people who had
accumulated fortunes well beyond the million dollar mark, disclosed the
fact that every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions promptly,
and changing these decisions slowly, if and when they were changed at
all. People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, have the
habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly, and of changing these
decisions quickly and often."
"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, thanThe successful and happy human being is the one in whom choice is
to be able to decide."
— Author Napoleon Hill
intentional and purposeful. Decision produces results. It can, also be said
that the failure to decide is, in itself, a decision, a decision to let your life
be governed by event and circumstance. Decision can be called choice by design. Lack of decisiveness is choice by default. It is also a choice. It is the decision to choose unhappiness, mediocrity and commonality.
"There is no more miserable human being than one in whomUnfortunately, many people miss the importance of the last phrase in
nothing is habitual but indecision."
— William James
Napoleon Hill's first sentence in the second paragraph above, and they
treat their decisions like men treat a TV remote control, constantly
changing from one expectation to another.
"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it
happen."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
8. Persistence
shared by all successful people. These days most people don't have the
attention span of a gnat. They channel surf. Their opinions change from
day to day. They cannot read anything longer than a USA Today article.
They move from fad to fad. They change from one business opportunity to the next without ever waiting for their work to bear fruit.
Thomas Edison commented that 90% of people quit 90% of the way to
accomplishing their goals. These days it is 99% who quit a mere 20% of
the way. Those who persist, win. Those who do not, lose. That is as true today as it was 60 years ago when Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich.
It seems that the only thing that most people have the capacity to persist
with is their bad habits of thinking and believing. Despite the
overwhelming evidence that the way they think and what they believe is
not producing the results they desire, they persist in hanging on to what
does not work.
Calvin Coolidge said it clearly:
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent
will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent."
9. Power Of The Master Mind
Being accurate is very hard to accomplish, however thinking accurately is not. Make sure your thoughts are not biased. Make sure you are not prejudiced. It is your decision. Are your thoughts based on facts or opinions? The best example is when you are burdening the employee with multiple tasks within a short span of time. Think about it once. How would you feel if the same happens with you?
Brilliantly said by Napleon Hill, “You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize.” So, is the situation here. Be sure of what you think because the key lies there.
The importance of brainstorming with like-minded individuals cannot
overstated. Work groups, executive teams, board members are all the
direct recognition that the collective power of several minds working and
planning together can accomplish much more than one mind alone.
Two or more minds, working in harmony, produce a synergistic energy
that weaves a concrete reality out of purpose, vision and determination.
Harmony is not just some nicey-nice, feel-good environment. All creation
is comprised of vibration. Harmonious vibrations are creative. Discordant
vibrations are destructive. When you intentionally place yourself into a
harmonious position, you are acting in concert with the natural laws of
universal creation.
Super successful people talk about their own ideals and visions,
communicate about them with other super successful people, and in so
doing, affirm that their success derives from their personal power to
think, desire, believe and act with intent/purpose.
If you had the opportunity to have a group of super successful people as
your personal advisors, coaching you to become all that you were capable of becoming, and mentoring you to achieve the fulfillment of your
potential, would you take it?
"Study the specific knowledge of success and apply it to your life and you will succeed "
— Robert T.Kiyosaki
10. The Mystery of Sex Transmutation
The mystery of sex transmutation. Utilize the sexual desire and its powerful energy to transform it to enhance imagination, courage, willpower, persistence and creativity. Hill says, “Love, Romance, and Sex are all emotions capable of driving men to heights of super achievement. When combined, these three emotions many lift one to an altitude of genius.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." — William James
What Hill calls the sixth sense is your direct and intimate connection to
the infinite, ineffable universal mind, source of all that is and all that can
be. You are the channel whereby the infinite makes manifest the finite.
You are wealthy beyond measure. All you need to do is to claim your
birthright.
"The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It
cannot be changed without changing our thinking."
— Albert Einstein
