Written by a collaboration of Napoleon Hill Foundation Certified Instructors and Students, each co-author adds their anecdote to the collective wisdom underlying Dr. Napoleon Hill's 17-principle personal success philosophy. Dr. Hill developed the philosophy under the direction of American philanthropist and steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie. It was organized over a period of twenty years in which Hill spent conducting interviews and gathering research on what made achievers out of some 500+ of the most successful men of the early 1900's. Likewise, he studied the non-achievers and came to understand that commonalities existed in the conduct, process, and methods used for both failure and success. He performed his work without compensation; a demonstration of persistence and self-discipline which are part of his documented science of achievement. Indeed, he utilized all aspects of his own philosophy throughout its very creation. The findings and workings of the success formula are time tested and still relevant today. It is unquantifiable how many millions of lives have been touched by Hill achieving his life's Purpose and how many more to come will attribute their success to the principles and Hill's most famous work - one of the best-selling books of all time - Think and Grow Rich. One need only be aware of the millions of his books continuing to be sold worldwide in multiple languages to gain a grandiose impression of how widespread the use of this philosophy is. Napoleon Hill lived from 1883 - 1970 and in addition to writing, spent his lifetime teaching, lecturing and leading by example through his motivational style influence. His outstanding achievements are the basis for most current leadership books and his literature has become the benchmark against which all other like-minded material is compared. Although Beyond What If mentions many of the other principles (because they all work synergistically), its general focus is on the principle of Definite Major Purpose (DMP) Definiteness of Purpose, or DMP, is one's chief aim in life and the starting point of all achievement. It represents the single most prominent desire that you aspire to achieve, the fruits of which you are willing to leave as a monument to yourself or in other words, your legacy. Although we may have many minor purposes, Hill teaches that without an overall lifelong purpose, one is wasting the better portion of their life. Everyone wants the better things in life but most people never go beyond wishing for them. Dr. Hill challenges us to understand the crucial difference between a wish and having a burning desire to achieve something. With a burning desire to pursue and achieve your life's goal, he believes you will be born again mentally, physically, and spiritually and gain the realization of your individual power and dignity as a unit of mankind.The Napoleon Hill Foundation was established in 1962 as a non-profit corporation whose sole purpose is to perpetuate his philosophy of individual achievement through Hill's published and yet unpublished manuscripts, recordings, and courses. It is a highly skilled and knowledgeable educational institution. The Foundation conducts itself in a manner that would obtain Dr. Hill's approval and well exceed his expectations. It is managed and operated with Dr. Hill's best interests at heart and with the same intention, honor and respect, integrity and tenacity that he himself would have used.The mind is a fascinating landscape of relatively unexplored territory. More and more, the field of science is able to validate what Dr. Hill has known and shared with his audience for decades: What the Mind can Conceive and Believe, it can Achieve. The motivational stories in Beyond What If will inspire you to go beyond your self-imposed limitations and deflating beliefs to discover your Purpose and turn your dreams into reality.

Napoleon Hill's classic books, Think and Grow Rich and Law of Success, are timeless classics, enjoyed by people from all walks of life from around the world. Hill's writings were about people were alive at time he wrote. One of the concerns that The Napoleon Hill Foundation has is that, in order to get Millennials and upcoming generations to follow Hill's Success Principles, more recent and relevant stories need to be shared. When you read Journeys To Success, you will read about the personal and intimate stories of how Think and Grow Rich helped the co-authors overcome adversity and defeat, find their purpose, and maintain a Positive Mental Attitude through the many and varied challenges life brings your way. Hill identified 12 Riches of Life and at the top of the list is a Positive Mental Attitude. Purposefully, economic security is the last of the 12 Riches. Other Riches include; sound physical health, harmony in human relationships, freedom from fear, the hope of achievement, the capacity for faith, a willingness to share one's blessings, a labour of love, an open mind on all subjects, self-discipline, and the capacity to understand people. You have between 50,000 - 60,000 thoughts every day. God has given you the power to control your thoughts. Sadly, only about 5-10% of people actually make the effort to purposefully stop negative thoughts and replace them with pre-chosen positive thoughts. You will learn how these authors are able to do that and how you can as well. The main theme behind Hill's book 'Outwitting The Devil' is that Satan wants everyone to be 'drifters', without any burning desire, specific purpose, or meaningful goals. Although W. Clement Stone and the current President of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, James Oleson, thought that a Positive Mental Attitude is the most important Success Principle, Hill and Andrew Carnegie believed that having a specific and singular lifetime purpose was the most essential factor to achieving life success. The authors' stories will spark your imagination and encourage you to discover what you were created to do with your skills, talents, and abilities.You will hear about the powerful life-changing possibilities of a mastermind group, and it is our hope that you take action to recruit the people you need to help you make steady progress towards your goals. Once you know your specific purpose, and have recruited mastermind partners who will work in perfect harmony with you, you must demonstrate Applied Faith by taking action on a consistent basis over a long period of time. In most cases, you will not know every twist, turn, and obstacle along your upcoming journey and so it takes faith in yourself, your purpose and your plans to do something about it. Often, the best approach is Ready - Fire - Aim. Using this process, you take small steps and correct as you receive feedback until you are aiming at, and heading for, your target dead on. Waiting to know everything and eliminating all fears before taking action usually results in no action ever being taken. You are going to learn how important Going The Extra Mile has been for the authors and what they did to demonstrate that Success Principle to achieve their goals. Andrew Carnegie was a BIG supporter of Going The Extra Mile and he practiced it in his own life, starting with nothing, becoming the 3rd wealthiest person who ever lived, and then giving away 90% of his fortune. Going The Extra Mile is a Principle that does not apply to simply working for money. It applies in every area of your life including being a spouse, parent, friend, son or daughter. When you apply it every single day in every area of your life, whether you feel like it or not, you will become a person of character and value to the people closest to you.
