This Man Figured Out The Habits Of Extremely Successful (And Rich) People

Imagine possessing all of the traits of a highly successful investor or an entrepreneur.

In 1908, Napoleon Hill met Andrew Carnegie and discussed how Carnegie made his fortunes. From there, Hill went on to interview hundreds of others like Carnegie, which turned into Hill’s bestselling book, Think And Grow Rich. Later, in 1954, Hill held lectures expanding on topics discussed in the book. These lectures were collected and published as Your Right To Be Rich in 2014.
