They wind up doing something they really don’t want to do, find themselves stuck in it, and wind up “accidental” successes.Īnd synchronicity has struck this post. I still marvel at the struggle of grocer David Pender who eventually got rich despite himself.Īnd that’s how it often is with people who get rich. Those are accounts of people who accomplished things through their own will and their lives provide examples, not assertions in a book. If I might become Napoleon Hill-like and refer to myself, that’s why I did (and will at some point pick up again) the iPeople blog. I’ve observed others who still drunk the kool-aid and I’ve yet to meet one who’s actually successful - their mode of thought seems to always center around “I’m gonna be wealthy someday.” To that I say - FUCK THAT! I once drunk the kool-aid of this industry heavily and I was getting nowhere as a result. No more making self-help charlatans rich.
You may not wanna hear this, but you’re gonna have to get your hands dirty and find your own path. There is no “formula for success” that is going to save you.
#HENRY FORD NAPOLEON HILL NEVER MET TRIAL#
The most common theme I found with these wealthy businessmen is that they had a goal and worked their ass of through the trial and error method in order to get to where they are…period. I’m not talking about people who became wealthy through dream-selling, I’m referring to those who acquired their fortunes through industry. In fact, many of them told me themselves that they’d never heard of even the most popular titles. I’ve met and conversed with many wealthy businessmen and I’ve yet to find one who attributed their success to having read any of the self-help literature. I’m gonna tell you like this - this new age/self-help/motivational stuff is all bullshit. He has some righteous stuff over there, one of which includes: Say It With me - Fuck The Self-Help Industry This is an issue that needs to be settled once and for all.Īnd I advise people to pop over to Sean T. If it turns out to be in NYC, I’d volunteer my time to pore through it for the final proof. Did such a Guest Book exist? And is Napoleon Hill’s signature in it? Someone needs to research where such a Carnegie possession is held in an archive. There’s only one way to tell if Hill ever met Carnegie: Find Carnegie’s Guest Book.ĭuring that time, I believe it was the custom for people of Carnegie’s social and financial standing to have a Guest Book in their mansions. This is a detailed analysis of written statements made by Napoleon Hill that simply don’t reconcile with one another and which contradict the historical record.
He was an old man in 1908 - why invite a nonentity to undertake unpaid research conscious he probably wouldn’t live to see the results twenty years later? Carnegie was decisive. Had Carnegie wanted a major study of ‘success’, he could employ the best, most authoritative minds in the business, and demand they report within months. Napoleon Hill – the Lies about Andrew Carnegie Carter in Comments for pointing me to this.
