See You At The Top

If you’ve been following our series on personal development audio programs from Nightingale-Conant, then you’ll know why I listen to these programs daily while driving my car, working in the yard, and exercising at the gym.

Through this series, we learned that the programs  Think And Grow Rich and Lead The Field form the basis for all enduring riches.

We also learned in Your Secret Wealth that each of us possess at least one, and most often multiple, instant jackpots that are in our grasps.

Your Secret Wealth

In Think and Grow Rich“ we learned that “All great riches start with an idea” and that burning desire will help us draw upon the higher source for ideas and inspiration.

Earl Nightingale in ”Lead The Field“ takes the philosophy introduced by Napoleon Hill and adds his own secret ingredients.  He teaches that the magic word in life is “attitude”.  He shows us that it’s not enough to expect great riches; you have to do something to deserve them.  This of course is at the core of Napoleon Hill’s philosophy – always provide more and better service than what you’re paid.

Lead the Field

Born in 1921, Earl Nightingale was a child during the Great Depression.  By 1933 Earl, his mother, and his two brothers were living in Tent City.

It was these humble beginnings that caused Earl to become consumed with the ideas of success and wealth – why some people were so poor while others had an abundance of riches.

Think and Grow Rich

What would you do if the richest man in the world asked you to go to work for him for 20 years without pay?

Napoleon Hill and his brother were matriculating to Georgetown University hoping to become lawyers. Having no money but the ability to write, Napoleon agreed to pay their way by writing stories about successful men and selling them to a magazine. His first assignment was with the great Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie.
