“Think and get rich”: The best-selling author Napoleon Hill dealt with the formula for getting rich more than 80 years ago.
The alleged recipe for success.
“Think and get rich”
: Do you know the book of the same name by bestselling author
Napoleon Hill
?
The work of the US author, who died in 1970, was published in 1937 - and is still often quoted today.
Because the author dealt with the secret that should lead to financial success.
After all, who wouldn't want to be (secretly) rich (or at least a little richer)?
So it's no wonder that the guide became a bestseller.
The secret of success: get rich in six steps
In other words, the formula that supposedly leads to financial success can be
summarized as
follows
in six steps
:
1. The
financial goal
we are striving for should be as concrete as possible.
When it comes to
money
, for example, we should know what amount we want to achieve by saving.
Or what salary we are specifically aiming for.
This goal should be realistic - this way we can avoid unnecessary frustration.
2. "In life we are not given anything for free", is also one of the insights of the author
Napoleon Hill
. Or to put it another way: Everything has its
price
. Anyone who wants to achieve a certain goal financially, for example, has to work and accept a correspondingly large amount of work. That he has less free time. What consideration is a certain sum worth in the end? We should also be aware of this point early on.
3. “As long as you don't
set
a
deadline
, your goal will inevitably remain in the future - and therefore unattainable,” the author is also often quoted.
In other words, you should set a deadline for yourself - and that in turn should also be realistic.
4- Now it comes to the
concrete planning
.
How and in which steps can the desired goal, e.g. a certain amount of savings, be achieved?
This is also what the much-quoted bestseller, which is still relevant today, is about.
5. You should also put your plan in
writing
- step by step -
and formulate the points mentioned - so that there are no mental games.
6. Napoleon Hill even recommended reading this
list aloud twice a day
- so you can internalize your goals and imagine what the end result will be.
So every day you should get a little closer to the big goal, so the thought.

Hardly anyone can be that meticulous in practice - no matter how ambitious they are to get rich.
Perhaps the bestseller "Think and Grow Rich" ("Think and get rich", promotional link) will still help one or the other
not to lose sight of their real goal
when
planning
their
life
.
Or is it fun for one or the other to read.
