| Themselves in the Foot and 26 Factors Affecting Your Bottom Line “Ross Cornwell has made it easier than ever to learn from a giant of a leader and thinker. Napoleon Hill’s wisdom applies to us all, any generation, any background and station in life Napoleon Hill has served as Mentor to Millions. Why not you?” —Ty Boyd, CEO of Ty Boyd Executive Learning Systems and author of The Million Dollar Toolbox “Napoleon Hill’s writings have influenced my life to understand that our God-given destiny is to soar on eagles wings. You have to stretch yourself before you can soar, and once you have a burning desire, a significant goal you can stretch much farther than you previously had thought possible. Beware: Every time an eagle raises its wings to fly, someone will put an arrow to the bow, but remember, eagles can soar higher than any arrow can fly. May this revised and updated edition of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich! enable you to Reach—Stretch—Soar! —Father Brian Cavanaugh (Third Order Franciscan), Franciscan University of Steubenville, editor of Appleseeds and author of The Sower’s Seeds series “Zen teacher Richard Rose said a spiritual seeker could find Enlightenment by following Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich!, and substituting ‘God’ or Truth wherever the book says ‘money.’” —August Turak, founder of Raleigh Group International, Elsinore Technologies, Inc, and the Self Knowledge Symposium Foundation “A classic If you haven’t read it, read it If you have read it, read it again!” Thomas Crum, author The Magic of Conflict and Journey to Center “I believe and trust in God. He will use many things in life to get your attention. I believe he used this book to get mine. I have without a doubt been endowed with the power to THINK of ways to optimize every situation in my life, whether positive or negative, and to GROW RICH spiritually, physically, financially, and emotionally.” —Corey Honore, professional bodybuilder and fitness expert “It’s so simple and yet we need to be reminded again and again, What we think about is who we become Each time we open this book we begin a most rewarding journey. Of course the key is to open it—what are you waiting for?” —W Mitchell, member of the CPAE Hall of Fame, author of It’s Not What Happens To You, It’s What You Do About It “For over 10 years we have applied the principles of Think and Grow Rich!, especially the MASTERMIND GROUP concept. We formed a Mastermind Women’s Group, and we set and monitor goals in all areas of our life— spiritual, family, financial, health, education, business, recreation, personal, and civic. As a result, hundreds of lives have been changed, especially financially through forming investment clubs. This book is the success system that cannot fail.” —Ann McNeill, President, MCO Construction Services, Inc. “I belong to an industry that is plagued with struggling. It’s more than a stereotype. Artists are convinced from a young age by family, friends, teachers and society that you cannot achieve financial freedom from art sales alone. Using the principles I’ve learned by reading Think and Grow Rich! numerous times since I was a young man, I’m breaking down this stereotype and not just surviving as a professional artist…but thriving.” John Ross Palmer, founder of the Art Movement of Escapism “I was introduced to Think and Grow Rich! by an alcoholic member of our cemetery sales team. I had a wife and three children at the time, and we were just barely making it. My only source of income was the commissions I made knocking on doors selling cemetery property, and they were hard to come by, especially since almost nobody was a permanent resident in the Miami area. “Reading Think and Grow Rich! gave me a crutch to lean on as I forced myself out to pound those doors where the potential prospects were. If my family was going to eat, I had to convince people to buy cemetery property or 40 or more years before they would need it. The Six-Step Success Formula helped me to realize that there was away even for an uneducated lunkhead like me to make it like the big guys. I followed the success formula faithfully, and, lo and behold, my whole life turned around. “Two of my most useful tools in the book were the poem My Wage (‘I bargained with Life fora penny) and If You Think You Are Beaten’ (‘Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. I truly believe that Dr. Hill had the same message the Bible has for us. It was just little easier for me to apply. I went onto build the largest cemetery organization in the country starting out from my basement on Concord Ave. in Anderson, SC. In 1970, we sold 30 cemeteries to Service Corporation International, making it possible for them to become the largest funeral- cemetery company in the world. I served as President of their Cemetery Division for three years. “I’m now 85 years old, living comfortably on the shores of Lake Hartwell with my wife of 65 years. Almost all my good fortune came about because I had the good fortune to be introduced to Think and Grow Rich! in 1953. I have given away many cases of this great book. It was required reading in my company and in my family, and it has made a difference in a lot of the people’s lives who were given the opportunity to make it part of their lives. “Thank you, Ross, forgiving me this opportunity to look back and appreciate how really important all of this is and what a difference it has made in my life and the lives of so many others.” —Dick Herbert, founder of National Heritage Corporation, former President of the Cemetery Division, Service Corporation International For more testimonials, see page 384 and following. |
