Lessons learned from Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, AND — my own experience!

The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE.

Weak desires bring weak results.

Therefore set a fire under your ass!

The Desire for success must be stronger than the fear of criticism.

People refuse to take chances in business, and life, because of the fear of the criticism if they fail.

In the case the fear of criticism is stronger than the desire for success = LOSER.

You must conquer your fears, i.e. your desire for success must be stronger than your fear = WINNER.

This does not mean going out now, and jumping your bike off your roof for some stupid youtube video because; “My desire for success must conquer my fears!”

No, this means you must conquer your fears to progress in life.

No desire = no progress.

You stay in the troglodite, neanderthal phase of life.

How does that make you feel?
