DISCLAIMER: This is all directly from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and is merely a summary for future reference. If you haven't read Think and Grow Rich, stop reading this summary NOW, buy it and read it. It's a philosophy for success, and it will change your life.

Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill

Critics will argue with good reason why I'm totally wrong here, but IMHO this is one of the flagship books on the Law of Attraction. Whatever you call it, Mr. Hill outlines clear and concise steps used to transmute desire into money. These notes are not comprehensive, and they are paraphrasing real content. NOTE: Please take this with a grain of salt.

Daily Formula

Before enacting the daily formula, you must create a Definite Chief Aim. This is the one, single purpose to your entire-being at this moment in life. This is the one, single, atomic, most important thing you desire success in. You will use the Daily Formula to manifest it. Write this Definite Chief Aim on a piece of paper and read it every single morning and every single night until you can resite it from memory.

Remember: When we talk about desire, we mean head-over-heals-marry-this-idea-forever-and-throw-myself-in-front-of-buses-and-bullets-for-it type desire.

  • DESIRE that shit!
  • THINK about that shit constantly.
  • Have FAITH in that shit.
  • Spend 30m a day thinking about yourself, as if you ALREADY have it. Who would you want to be and how will you get there? Setup next actions for today.
  • Repeat your DEFINITE CHIEF AIM every morning and night.
