The first time I heard of “The Law of Success” was in year 2010. My mentor asked me to buy this book (Physical Copy!). I did, I read it about x10 and I’m still carrying it with me to this day!

At the end of this post, you can download your FREE ebook version of the original Law of Success in 16 lessons and there will be a link to the physical copy on Amazon.

Success in life depends upon happiness, and happiness is found in no other way than through SERVICE that is rendered in a spirit of love. –Napoleon Hill

Who is Napoleon Hill

One HUGE Thick Manual

In 1927, the book called “The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons” was written by Napoleon Hill. Most people had never heard of this book. Most people had never read this book. It never became popular because it’s two books in one HUGE thick manual.

At the turn of the century, Hill was hired by a man named Andrew Carnegie. If you don’t know who Andrew Carnegie is, he was (at one time) the richest man on planet Earth and the guy who owned U.S. Steel.

In 1901 Andrew Carnegie was convinced to sell his company to J.P. Morgan for $480M. The value of the transaction in contemporary funds varies between $14.5 billion, if calculated using the cost-of-living index, to as much as $336 billion if calculated as a percentage of GDP.

After the funds were distributed to the small group of private shareholders, Andrew Carnegie personally received around $230M (range between $7 billion to $160 billion, again, depending on how it’s calculated).

The Secrets To Wealth

Andrew Carnegie knew the secrets of creating wealth without working hard. He went to work at 9 in the morning and he left the office at 4 in the afternoon, Monday through Friday. He did not work Saturdays, Sundays or evenings.

He took off June, July and August, to go to Scotland and said, “Don’t bother me!”. This all happened during a time with no phones, iPads, emails or ways to communicate with his office everyday. He did this technique right from the beginning, (meaning he didn’t work like a maniac – 24/7), because he understood the real secret of making money was not working hard, it was using a different power. He understood this, and he became the richest man in the world.

Andrew Carnegie wrote that it was his belief you should spend the first third of life getting all the education you can. You should spend the second third making all the money you can, and the last third should be spent giving it away to worthwhile causes.

“It’s a shame that each new generation must find the way to success by trial and error when the principles are really clear-cut”.  -Andrew Carnegie

“Are You Out Of Your Mind?”

Other people at the time understood this power as well. Tomas Edison, Henry Ford, and virtually every millionaire. Andrew Carnegie decided that he wanted to share this secret with the world. He was the only millionaire in the “circle” that wanted to share it. Every other millionaire in the circle said, “Are you out of your mind? We are not sharing the secret! This is ours and we don’t want more competition.”

So Andrew Carnegie hired a young man named Napoleon Hill. He said, “I’m going teach you the secret and I’m going introduce you to the richest people on planet Earth. You’re going to observe them, question them and so forth. You are going to put together all the common denominators of success and compile them in a book!”

Hill wasn’t quite sure how he would manage it, he reaffirmed his commitment to take on the project and see it through to the end. It took Hill exactly 29 seconds to accept Carnegie’s proposal. Carnegie told Hill afterward that has it taken him more than a minute to make the decision, he would have cancelled the proposal.

20 Years For a Book

It took Napoleon over 20 years to put together the “Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons”. It was published, revealing for the first time in history, the secret to wealth.

Everybody went crazy in the millionaire circle. “They” forced it to be pulled off the market within 12 months. 10 years later in 1937, a “watered down” version came out called “Think and Grow Rich” (which some of you are familiar with!)

Think and Grow Rich is a good book, but all the secrets are taken out! That’s why when some people read it, the majority it doesn’t work for. For some people it does work, because they are accidentally using the “secret” that’s not in it.

There’s never been a book published since that reveals the “real secret” that was published in the original Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons.

The Original Manuscript

My mentor’s “education” in 1979 was in the form of an original manuscript of the Law of Success in 16 Lessons. He had flunked high school and never went to college. The book became his “college education”. He studied it, he read it (probably 100x), and he still travels everywhere with it! That’s how powerful it is! “Every time I read a page or chapter, I get something more out of it!” (The scanned copy of this first original manuscript is available in the bonus section at the end of this post)

Napoleon Hill did some speeches back in the 30s and there is a foundation called the Napoleon Hill foundation. At that time, the foundation archives were in Chicago in a locked basement requiring a key. The archives included the original writings of Napoleon Hill and many tape recordings. The recording sound quality was really poor, so they’ve never been published. (People would return it because they couldn’t hear it at all).

“Break In” To The Foundation Facility

My mentor told me he used to “break in” to this facility and listen to these recordings (with very poor sound quality!), transcribe them by hand and store them in a safe.

In one particular recording, Napoleon Hill was speaking to the members of Congress at a meeting in Washington, DC. At that time, this group was comprised of an outrageously prestigious group of “business men” (there weren’t many business opportunities for women back then). These were the captains of industry at the time (very powerful people).

In the recording, Napoleon Hill said to the group “When I learned the ‘secret’ from Andrew Carnegie and began sharing the principles, it frightened me at how fast and how powerfully it worked (keyword! he emphasized ‘frightened’). When people applied the simple principle, the money came so fast, and in such large quantities, it frightened me at the power of this secret.”

“It Was Too Simple”

But he also told the group, “I stopped being frightened, because almost no one used the secret because it was too simple!”.

Think about it, how many people actually apply what they learned in life?

These sixteen lessons are:

1. The Master Mind: Telepathy, ether, vibration, and how it all is the basis for how the world functions. A master mind is the alliance of two minds joining in a harmonious way. The power that is formed from two or more minds coming together is more powerful than one alone. This is strictly for minds who trust each other and are interested in the good success of all parties involved.
2. Your Definite Chief Aim: Do not underestimate the value of this due to its simplicity. You need to set an objective before you can achieve it. Not having a solid aim to focus on can not possibly get you to it. You have to know what you want so that you can start receiving it.
3. Self Confidence: Believe that you are worthy of success and that you can attain it. Without this simple understanding- truly understanding it- you will probably get nowhere with most of your goals. If you are not confident, then you cannot sell yourself in life.
4. The Habit of Saving: Stop trying to get a Cadillac if you feel more comfortable paying for a Ford. You are on the path to easily affording a Cadillac.
5. Initiative and Leadership: Addresses the importance of leadership skills (yes, they can be habituated and you don’t have to be a born leader). Here, Hill acknowledges the penalties of leadership. Leaders are not always spoken of sweetly. This should not deter you from becoming a leader. It is only “genius” that attracts the attention of critics. Nobody bothers slandering a person who isn’t somewhere near the upper rings of the ladder of success.
6. Imagination: Dream, and use your imagination to help lead you to the attainment of your goals. The making good decisions comes with use, and your intuition will always lead you toward your dream. Dreams and actions are closely related.
7. Enthusiasm: Compels you to act. Mix enthusiasm with your work- do something you are enthusiastic about- and you will not get tired nearly as quickly. Hill explains the things that can contribute to enthusiasm, one being to wear nice clothes. Basically, if you look like a million bucks, you’ll feel like a million bucks, and you will likely find yourself around a million bucks. The opposite is also true, and this is to be avoided. Feel good about your appearance, because it also affects the first impression of you on others who can be instrumental in your path to success.
8. Self Control: Auto suggestion is like reprogramming your subconscious mind to believe what you want it to believe- to replace your old beliefs with new ones that will serve you better. This takes self control. Have you ever tried to change a habit? It makes sense. When you take control over the thoughts you are thinking, then you can take control of your success. Make these thoughts the ones you want to believe, and see yourself the way you want to see yourself.
9. Habit Of Doing More Than Paid For: If you are going to whine about your work, then you are not going anywhere. Do the work you have in front of you, then ask what else you may do. By doing this, you make yourself valuable, and you will surely reach a point where you are being paid handsomely. Valuable employees are… valuable. This is also and especially true when you are working for yourself.
10. Pleasing Personality: Have one. Don’t point things out on people, don’t hang your head and say “I’m tired.” Mediocrity does not care if you are pleasant or not. Success does.
11. Accurate Thought: Sort “facts” from “information”, and use auto-suggestion in conjunction with focused thoughts.
12. Concentration: “Concentration is the act of focusing the mind upon a given desire until ways and means for its realization have been worked out and successfully put into operation” (p 438). That about covers it.
13. Cooperation: The implementing of cooperation between you and others who are going to help you get to your goal (the top of the ladder of success is never lonely, because you can’t help but bring others with you). Cooperation must also exist between your conscious and subconscious mind so that they may work harmoniously in your favor.
14. Failure: Yes! Fail, and be happy that it is bringing you one step closer to success. Failure is inevitable, and it is a great step towards the right direction. Replace “failure” with “temporary defeat”.
15. Tolerance: Don’t practice prejudice or racism. It is ignorance, and it is a barrier to success. Just see the best in people and situations, and focus only on your goal and the good for all.
16. The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you.” Also, “Think of others as you wish them to think of you.”

The post Why You Should Read Original Law of Success in 16 Lessons Napoleon Hill appeared first on UpMinded.

If there is one book you need to carry with you, read and reread in different unit of time, I’d say that book would be “Principles” by one of the legendary investors/entrepreneurs: Ray Dalio.

In the book, Ray says “I’m passing along these principles because I am now at the stage in my life in which I want to help others be successful rather than to be more successful myself. Because these principles have helped me and others so much, I want to share them with you. It’s up to you to decide how valuable they really are and what, if anything, you want to do with them.”

I’d like to walk you through today, some ‘golden nuggets’ I picked up along the way, hope you find value and implement to your own life, that’s how we learn and master, and that’s my purpose here at Upminded!

Ray VS McNuggests

Many of you probably don’t know that Ray actually helped to put out McDonald’s new product – McNuggests in 1983. Around that time, McDonald’s had been planning this new product for a period of time but they were hesitant to bring it to the market because of their concern that chicken prices might rise and squeeze their profit margins. (Yeah! Chick price matters!) Chicken producers like Lane wouldn’t agree to sell to them at a fixed price because of the same concern.

Ray back in the days thought about this problem, he knew that in economic terms a chicken can be seen as a simple machine consisting of a chick plus it’s feed. The most volatile coast that the chicken producer needed to worry about was feed prices. Ray showed Lane how to use a mix of corn and soymeal futures to lock in coast so they could quote a fixed price to McDonald’s. Having greatly reduced its price risk, McDonald’s introduced the McNuggests in 1983. 

There is nothing more important than understanding how reality works and how to deal with it. The state of mind you bring to this process makes all the difference. 

“I have found it helpful to think of my life as if it were a game in which each problem I face is a puzzle I need to solve. By solving the puzzle, you get a gem in the form of a principle that helps me avoid the same sort of problem in the future.” -Ray Dalio

Collecting these ‘gems’ continually improves Ray’s decision making, so he is able to ascend to higher and higher levels. 

People who are super successful and progress driven deeply understand the “law of cause-effect” that governs our reality and develop principles for using them to get what they want. The opposite is also true: Idealists who are not well grounded in reality create problems, not progress.

Evolve or Die

Evolution is the greatest force in the universe; it is the only thing that is permanent and it drives everything. Everything from the smallest subatomic particle to the entire universe is evolving. While everything apparently dies or disappears in time, the truth is what it all just gets reconfigured in evolving forms. Remember that energy can’t be destroyed – it can be only be transformed. The force behind this is evolution. 

The evolutionary cycle is not just for people but for countries, companies, economies, for pretty much everything. And it is naturally self-correcting as a while, though not necessarily for its parts. For instance, if there is too much supply and waste in the market, prices will go down, companies will go out of business, and capacity will be reduced until the supply falls in line with the demand, at which time the cycle will start to move in the opposite direction. 

5-Step process to get what you desire

According to Ray, if you can do these five things well, you will certainly be successful in life:

1. Have clear goals.
2. Identify and don’t tolerate the problems that stand in the way of your achieving those goals. 
3. Accurately diagnose the problems to get at their root causes.
4. Design plans that will get you around them.
5. Do what’s necessary to push these designs through to results.

You have to pick a clear goal that will go will after. Your choice of goals will determine your direction. As you move toward in life, you will encounter problems and challenges. Some of those problems will bring you down against your own weaknesses. How you react to the pain that causes is totally up to you. If you want to achieve your goals, you must be calm and analytical so that you can accurately diagnose your issue, come up with a plan that will get you around them, and do what what’s necessary to push through to results. Then you will look at the new outcomes and go through the process over and over again. To evolve quickly, you will have to do this fast and continuously, setting your goals successively higher. 

How to Make Decisions Effectively 

Ray Dalio has spent his whole life studying how to make decisions effectively and has constantly looked for rules and systems that will improve the odds of being right and ending up with more of whatever it is that he is after. 

One of the most important things he’s come to understand is that most of the processes that go into everyday decision making are subconscious and more complex than is widely understood. To make good decisions, you have to recognize that:

1. The biggest threat to good decision making is harmful emotions
2. Decision making is a 2-step process (first learn then decide)

Learning must come before deciding. You brain stores different types of learning in your subconscious, your rote memory bank, and your habits. But no matter how you acquire your knowledge or where you store it, what’s most important is that what you know paints a true and rich picture of the realities that will affect your decision. That’s why it always pays to be radically open-minded and find information that you believe as you do your learning. Many people have trouble doing this emotionally and block the learning that could help them make better decisions. Remind yourself that it’s never harmful to at least hear na opposing point of view. 

80/20 Rule

Remember the 80/20 rule and know what the key 20% is. The 80/20 rule states that you get 80% of the value out of something from 20% of the information or effect. (It’s also true that you’re likely to exert 80% of your effect getting only 20% of value.) Understanding this rule saves you from getting bogged down in unnecessary detial once you’ve gotten most of the learning you need to make a good decision.

Technique: Synthesize the Situation Through Time

To see how the dots connect through time you must collect, analyze and sort different types of information, which isn’t easy. For example, let’s imagine a day in which eight outcomes occur. Some are good, some are bad. Let’s illustrate this day as shown, with each type of event represented by a letter and the quality of the outcome represented by its heights.

In order to see the day this way, you must categorize outcomes by type (signified by letter) and quality (the higher up the graph, the better), which will require synthesizing a by-and-large assessment of each. (To make the example more concrete, imagine you’re running an ice cream shop and the W’s represent sales, the X’s represent press and reviews, the Z’s represent staff engagement, etc) Keep in mind that our example is a relatively simple one: just 8 occurrences over one day. 

From the chart on the right, you can see that it was a great day for sales (because the W’s are at the top) and a bad day for customer experience (the X’s at the bottom). You might conjecture why – maybe a crowd generated sales but produced long lines.

People who are good at pulling out such patterns of events are rare and essential, but as with most abilities, synthesizing through time is only partially innate; even if you’re not good at it, you can get better through practice. You’ll increase your chances of succeeding at it if you follow the next principles. 

Final Thought

This book by Ray is a result of his encounters with reality over many years. Ray’s goal is to pass along these principles that worked well for him; what you do with them is totally up to you. Of course, we aren’t done with our struggles until we die. 

“I feel a certain sense of relief to have gotten these principles out to you, and a sense of contentment as I end this book and turn my attention to passing along my economic and investment principles.” -Ray Dalio

Think for yourself:

1. What do you want in life?
2. What is truth?
3. What are you going to do about it?

The post 6 Wisdom Nuggets From Ray Dalio’s Principles (Bonus Included) appeared first on UpMinded.

For years, I’d thought that my daily thoughts had a lot to do with my destiny, like it’s pre planned out, you have absolutely no control over it. Now, I have came to realize that it’s not true at all!

Let me explain to you how I came to the conclusion…

How powerful are your thoughts?

Studies shown that the mind thinks between 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. Think about it! Everything you do in life starts with a thought then you initiate with an action.

In order to get what you desire in life, the first thing you have to do is that you have to decide are you gonna be defined by the vision of the future or are you gonna live by the memories from the past.

Your brain is a record of the past, everything you have learned and experienced to this moment, it’s more like a memory bank you could say. Most people wake up in the morning and they start thinking about their problems and those problems are connected to certain people, things and events at certain time and places. The moment they started turning on those circuit, those memories are actually causing them to ‘think’ in the past.

Every single one of those memories has an emotion associated with them and the emotions are the end product of past experiences. The moment they recall the event or the problem in their life, they started feeling unhappy, discouraged, anxious.

Predictable Future

Thoughts are the language of the brain, feelings are the language of the body, how you think and how you feel create the state of your being, so we could say then.. most people’s entire state of being when they start their day is in the familiar past. If you live in the familiar past, then it makes sense that you’re going to create predictable future, so what happens to most people is that they get stuck in their biology.

You’re body is your unconscious mind, it doesn’t know the difference between an experience in your life that creates an emotion and emotion that you can create by thought alone, so if you live with the same emotions every single day, those emotions are influencing your thoughts and you can’t think greater than how you feel, you are thinking in the past. Your lands of the future is going to be coloured by the past so you can’t see possibilities.

Most people like to wait for crisis or disease or diagnosis before they ‘wake up’ and ‘see’. The challenge is that the biology tends to be redundant, if you keep thinking the same thoughts and those thoughts begin to fire certain circuits in your brain, the nerve cells that fire together wire together so all of sudden you started getting hard wired and those of the thoughts you can think easiest.

At the same time, those thoughts produce chemicals called emotions, next thing you know, your body gets ‘shaped‘ by the same emotions and it could be guilt, could be unhappiness, could be pain, but at least they are familiar to you, at least you can predict it. Some people would rather go with the familiar than take a chance to the possibilities.

For most people, they say, “Well, I don’t see my thoughts have anything to do with my destiny”. That’s because 95% of those thoughts are subconscious programs, you are not aware that you think those thoughts.

How to change?

The first step to change is starting to think about what you been thinking about, when you begin to observe those thoughts you are no longer the program, you are the consciousness observing those thoughts.

When you decide to really ‘take a look’, it’s like lighting a match in a dark room, it feels uncomfortable, because it’s easier to turn on your TV, play with your cell phone, distract yourself from those feelings. When you understand that change really requires becoming uncomfortable to a certain degree, you’re leaving the known and stepping into the unknown (infinite possibilities).

Then the next question would be: “What thoughts do you want to fire and wire in your brain?”

You DON’T Create, You GENERATE Wealth!

Most people are waiting for their life to change, so they can feel the gratitude, the abundance and oneness. That’s the old model of ‘Cause and Effect’. If you’re living with emptiness, lack and pain, most people have been conditioned that as long as they wait, something out there will take away this emptiness, lack and pain inside of them. If you believe you’re creating your life and you’re also living by lack.

Guess what?

Lack isn’t going to create abundance, it makes sense that you don’t actually create wealth, you GENERATE wealth/abundance.

DNA VS Environment

It’s scientific fact that it’s the environment that signals the gene. The end product from the experience and environment is an emotion. Gene makes proteins and proteins are responsible for the structure and function of your body and expression of protein is the expression of life. The moment you start teaching your body emotionally what that future will feel like before it’s made or manifested, your body started to living in that future reality in the present moment.

Here is the key:

If you were able to become familiar with gratitude, familiar with wholeness, familiar with abundance and freedom, and you are able to generate those chemicals every single day! More than likely, you would be walking around feeling like your future has already happened, you would no longer be looking for that to happen, you would already feel like it has happened. (This is the KEY!)

What’s the importance of this?

Well, you’re literally becoming someone else! You’re leaving your lack, you’re leaving your guilt, you’re leaving your emptiness behind.

How You Developed Personality

Your personality is made up out of how you think, how you act and how you feel. How you think, act and feel is your personality and your personality is intimately connected to your personal reality (your life). If you want to change your life (your personal reality) you have to change your personality, here we go again, you have to start becoming conscious and aware of your own conscious thoughts, you have to start noticing how you act, speak, you have to pay attention to how you’re feeling.

Some people live in the guilt their whole life, they don’t even know it’s guilt because it’s too familiar and you can’t differentiate it. When you start doing this technique, you begin to objectify your subjective self, so when you begin to make small changes (back to thoughts), a new thought should lead to a new choice, a new choice should lead to a new behavior, a new behavior should create new experience, and new experience should create new emotion and that new emotion is teaching your body chemically to understand what your mind is intellectually understood and your body is embodying the truth. Now your new emotion should inspire new thought, that’s called evolution.

Get Stuck?

How do we get stuck? It’s simple, the strong your feel your emotion from some event in your life (betrayal, trauma or pain), the more altered you feel inside of you. The more you pay attention to the ‘cause’ that’s outside of you. Your brain takes a snapshot, it freezes an image (the neurological connection in the brain) it’s call MEMORY. So we create long term memories from strong emotional events. Certain people have strong experience in their life, it catches all of the brain’s attention and power, so now they think neurologically within the circuit of the past experience and they feel chemically balanced within the boundaries of those emotions.

Remember this: How you think and how you feel create its state of being.

Here is the problem, if you don’t know how to control or mediate your emotional reaction of a certain event/experience, and you keep those chemicals going on in your body for an extend period of time (could be years), so the event produces the chemical change, the body needs to return to its homeostasis (balance), but they can’t.

The longer you feel the emotions, it could be days, weeks, months.. and then we develop the ‘mood’.

You ask your friend, “What’s wrong with you?”

He responds “I’m in the mood!”

“Why are you in the mood?”

“Well, this thing happened to me 5 days ago, and I’m having a long emotional reaction..”

He keeps telling the story about it, keeps firing/wiring same circuits and keeps conditioning the body into the past, so he wakes up in the morning and looks for the emotion, all of a sudden he keeps lingering for weeks and months, then the ‘temperament’ is developed.

You keep asking him, “Why you so angry?”

“I don’t know, this event happened to me 8 months ago, I’m having a long emotional reaction.” (A.k.a I’m memorizing my emotions)

He keeps going on for years, then he develops personality trait so the person then is memorizing themselves by living in the past..

We Make Stuff Up About Our Past!

A scientific research shows that 50% of what we talk about in the past isn’t even the truth, we make stuff up about the past!

In other words people are re-living a life they didn’t have just to re-affirm they can’t change.

Where your attention goes energy flows, period!

How Do You Give Your Power Away?

The stronger the emotions that you have about some problems, conditions, people or events in your life, the more you paying attention to them so they captured your attention, as a result, you give your power away! Because that person is capturing your attention so then there is an energetic connection with every person, every evert and every experience!

Take Your Power Back!

When a person really decides to be defined by a vision of the future instead of the memory of the past, all of a sudden you’re becoming conscious and not making the same unconscious choice.

If you lower the volume of your emotions such as frustration, hatred or anger, if you truly know how to do that, you would take your attention off that person which means you begin to break those energetic connections, now you’re taking your power back! You’re calling the energy back to you. You begin to build this electric magnetic field around your body, you can use this energy to heal, you can also use this energy to create/manifest your future.

Every time when you take you attention off that person, experience, event, you became conscious/aware of it, you became good at not feeling the emotion..

Now the body though, has been addicted to that emotion because you’ve been using that person to re-affirm your addition to hatred or frustration or anger, if that person die, you’d find another one and continue the process.

Now you’re in a position that you lower the volume of that emotion, but your body is going, “Wait a sec, you’ve been doing this for the past 20 years, all of a sudden, you think you’re just going to stop hating and being angry?”

Your conditioning is based on the past, so the body feels the lack of that emotion, it’s like a drug addict, now the body starts to influence the mind to think about experiences that are based on that emotion, now your emotions are causing you to think in the past. (Go back and re-read this paragraph!)
