The 10 commandments of “Think and Grow Rich”

The book “Think and Grow Rich” is written by Napoleon Hill. The author interviewed over 500 successful individuals to find out what they had in common — and these are the 10 commandments that he came up with.

1. There is no such thing as luck.

2. A strong desire, backed by faith and an idea, makes luck happen.

3. Every person has the ability and opportunity to make his or her dreams come true.

4. Faults and weaknesses can be overcome in time through knowledge and effort — but laziness cannot be overcome, because it is a sin to work for wages when we might put forth the same amount of effort and make ourselves wealthy without working for them at all!

5. Our thoughts are things, so if we think right, we’ll do right-and if we think wrong, we’ll do wrong-and that’s just about all there is to it!

6. To accomplish great things, people must not only believe in themselves but also have faith in their abilities!

7. Self-confidence leads invariably to self-realization!

8. We must be honest with ourselves at all times-we should never try to fool our conscience by telling it something that isn’t true!

9. If you really want something badly enough you’ll always find a way to get it because no one can keep us from anything unless we let him do so!

10. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward

Conclusion

“Think and Grow Rich” is a self-help book written by Napoleon Hill in 1937. It is considered to be one of the most successful books in history. Hill explores the habits of successful people and the principle of “think and grow rich,” which is that an individual must spend time in reflection in order to create a plan and visualize in order to achieve anything.

Hill’s principles are timeless. And while modern-day entrepreneurs have their own unique concerns, the 10 commandments found in “Think and Grow Rich” can help them achieve success.
