Revisiting an Old Classic

By
Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

     Today, I started revisiting an age old classic, “Think and Grow Rich”. This is one of those books that every time I read or listen to it on audio, something new seems to jump off the pages. Sometimes, I swear, I think I am reading or hearing the book for the first time. As I listen to the book between jobs, I marvel at how mere mortals, such as myself, amassed fortunes from an idea or thinking themselves in a position where they amass riches.
    When I look at the concept, there is not a lot that separates the haves, from the have nots other than what they perceive to be true in their own mind. If folks realized the power of thought and the power of words, they would never think or say another negative thing. Christ eluded to this several times.
    When I look at all the men and women that Napoleon Hill interviewed in his 25 years of research before writing his classic, they all understood and embraced the fundamentals outlined in his book. Today was spent in much contemplation, tomorrow and the weekend will be spent writing a new business plan and Monday I will begin implementing the plan. How’s that for a plan?

It is a great day at Complete Home Inspections!

That plan sounds like a great one! Think and Grow Rich is on my shelf and I think I will take it down and read it again too!

Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich withstands the test of time . . . .  and the words ring true today.

Good luck and success.

I downloaded that for free onto my Kindle a couple of months ago.  It is a great read.  I still have my cassette tape version of it.  And I also downloaded, and read, 'The Success Secret That Never Fails' by W. Clement Stone.

Good morning Michael. I am listening to a book on tape by Hill. Not sure why this book as not published for all these years. The book is called "Outwitting the Devil".

Good morning Michael.  Sounds like you have your weekend planned out.  I'm in information overload and hopefully will have some down time this weekend, but I won't bet on it.
