Success or Failure? The Choice Is Yours - Answer My Trivia Question & Win a Prize

By
Education & Training with Weisman Success Resources, Inc.

There are three things I listen to when driving in my car.  Some of you probably have some of your favorite things, these are my top three:

1) Personal/Professional Development CDs;
2) Bruce Springsteen Live concert recordings;
3) NPR, National Public Radio

I would say I balance my time between the three pretty well. Today I decided to revisit an old CD series I've had for about 6 years, Napoleon Hill's "The Science of Personal Achievement." 

It's a 5 CD set so it will take a lot of driving over the next week or so for me to go through it all again, but it's really great stuff.  It's old recordings of Hill's seminars and radio shows where he shares what he learned by  studying for 20 years the most successful people of the early 20th century.

On this recording Hill identified 3 primary causes of failure and I'm wondering if anyone else knows what they are.  I'm sure each of us has our own theory on what creates success or failure, and I'd love to hear those, too.

But I'd like to offer a challenge to everyone.  I have a product called "End Procrastination NOW!" is an audio CD and e-workbook that i sell on my website for $47. 

Whoever provides the correct answer to the question, "What did Napoleon Hill identify as the 3 Primary Causes of Failure?" will win my CD workshop & e-book (a $47 value) as a prize.  Answer in the comment section below and if there is more than one correct responder, I'll have a random drawing for the prize.

Good Luck!

OK... I'm somewhat of a procrastinator/deadliner.  I've read one of his books some time ago... Here are my guesses:

  1. Procrastination
  2. Perseverance.. as in a lack of persistance
  3. A lack of loyalty... again as in to your goals. 

I read one of his books.  I recall making an acronym for this... PPL.  If this is the right guy and right formula, I just hope I got the letters right.

Failure to plan, failure to act and failure to believe in yourself. Oh yeah, number 4, failure to have Skip as your coach.

OK, John, thanks for that plug.
I was hoping I'd get more participation in this little trivia game.
Brian, you came very close, as one of them is procrastination, and
persistence was also one.  The one you missed was 'an inability
to get along with others and build deep relationships."

Two out of three ain't bad, but doesn't win the prize.
Thanks for playing. Try again next time.

I thought the relationship point Napoleon Hill makes
was especially appropriate since AR is all about building
relationships.

Rats!  I was close.  It has been many years since I had read about him though.  2/3 not bad. 

Thanks for the Trivia contest Skip, I liked it.  Always up for more trivia.

Thanks Skip.
