After interviewing more than five hundred of the most affluent men and women of his time, Napoleon Hill uncovered the secret to great wealth, based on the notion that if we can learn to think like the rich, we can discover wealth and success. He developed a thirteen-step formula to help you to: identify your goals; master the secret of true and lasting success; obtain whatever you want in life; and join the ranks of the super-successful.
