I am sure many of you have heard the story about Dr. Napoleon Hill…and how he came to write what is now the best-selling personal development book of all time “Think & Grow Rich”.
Most people believe that “Think & Grow Rich” was the result of Andrew Carnegie’s question to Napoleon Hill. However, what you may not know is that “Think & Grow Rich” was only really a summary of a much larger work some nine years earlier.
That larger work became the Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons.
This is how the story unfolds … Let me take you back…back to the boom years after the First World War.
The wonder of the then new technologies such as the electric light bulb, radio, and the motor car were fast catching on amongst the majority of wealthy people of the time.
This was a time when being poor meant that you were really poor…and when the richest men EVER in the history of the western world lived. These steel magnates, oil barons, railroad tycoons, and automobile czars enjoyed literally hundreds of billions of dollars between them.
Never had so much wealth and power been so highly concentrated since the time of the Chinese Dynasties.
In front of each one in turn sat a young man.
Less than half the age of most of them…he would furiously scribble down their wisdom as they shared the ’secrets’ of their success.
What he wrote…
I guarantee WILL change YOUR life.
How?
To find out the answer, we need to go back even earlier - in fact fifteen years earlier to 1908.
A 25-year-old reporter, born into poverty…but climbing his way up the ladder, is commissioned by Robert L. Taylor, former Governor of Tennessee, to write “success stories” about famous men for his magazine…he is given his first assignment to interview one of the richest men in the world…the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.
What followed was to change the world…forever.
All the young Napoleon Hill knew…was that he had an interview to do.
The interview was due to last for three hours…but stretched to a total of three days and nights as a guest of one of the world’s richest men. Three whole days and nights listening to the wisdom of one the greatest business minds ever to have walked this Earth!
So…why did it take so long?
Well…Andrew Carnegie was no ordinary man. You don’t go from poverty to being a billionaire without being different. Carnegie had an idea… the result of which many, many people have benefited from some ninety-five years later.
He wanted Hill to organise the world’s first philosophy of personal achievement, based upon the principles that he and his fellow giants of the age had used to accumulate their vast fortunes.
Carnegie asked Hill -
“If I were to give you the opportunity to organize this philosophy, with my help, but without payment…a task that would probably take at least twenty years or so…would you do it?”
Carnegie was sitting with a stop-watch in his hand…he was only giving Hill 60 seconds to make up his mind. Napoleon Hill didn’t know about the time limit…but it only took him 29 seconds before he gave his answer:
YES…I WILL!
Carnegie had learned that those men (and women) who are slow to make up their minds - are also slow in carrying out their decisions.
EXACTLY twenty years after that historic meeting with Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill released his course based on the philosophy of personal achievement of the five hundred most successful people of his time.
This course that was used by hundreds of companies (and governments) to ‘train’ people how to be successful.
It was called “The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons”…and it made Napoleon Hill’s fortune…long before the much shorter “Think & Grow Rich” came onto the scene.
“The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons” is THE most complete course on success ever written, covering a total of 1,170 pages, and is now available for you to learn and profit from!

Napoleon Hill was a genius, having an amazing ability to translate into ‘real life’ what really made those five hundred richest people of his day succeed like no others had ever done before.
“Think & Grow Rich” was based upon (and in most cases, is almost a summary of) “The Law of Success”…and is THE biggest selling personal development book of all time.
Yet…”The Law of Success” doesn’t get the same publicity as “Think & Grow Rich”…and you’ve probably never heard of it.
Why?
Well…for a number of reasons, possibly -
1) Its size. “The Law Of Success” is 1,170 pages long…and was originally released in eight hard bound books (containing two Lessons each).
2) Its cost. Not everyone could afford to pay for such expensive books. Even now, the original version of what you can now read here in ebook form sells on ebay.com for up to $400!
3) Its content. The sheer amount of content tends to put off those people who aren’t committed to make some serious change in their lives. “Think & Grow Rich” is boring in comparison!
4) Its market. Napoleon Hill taught “The Law of Success” in seminars primarily aimed at the companies of his day. It was designed to be interactive…and to have regular exercises that needed to be completed as the student went along.
It was never really intended for the public…and that’s why he released “Think & Grow Rich” some NINE years later so that the public could share in the success that those companies and employees were achieving.
Because this most amazing personal development course is over 1,170 pages…each Lesson has been broken down into an ebook of its own. This means you will be able to print out and read each Lesson separately!
You will discover that The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons is THE most detailed and comprehensive course on success ever written
If You want to change… this course will help you do exactly that.
So… if you are serious enough about helping yourself and your family to make huge improvements in your lives and achieve fantastic success when you take this course…you will have to ‘work at it’ to make it happen!
