* In “Think and Grow Rich”, widely seen as the seminal work on personal development, Napoleon Hill demonstrates that we don’t get the gold from the crucible until we come face to face with who we truly are.
* What does this mean? That no one becomes wildly successful until they’ve been broken down time and again, had their rough edges polished, and have begun to let go, and do what they were put on this earth to do.
* When we do what we were put on earth to do, (as terrifying as it can be to be all we can be), the miracles really start happening, we meet the right people and situations which propel us forward.
* Some people succeed financially with brute force, corruption, and small-mindedness. This, of course, isn’t true success in all areas, it isn’t abundance. It misses the magic, wonder, and gentleness of life.
* Born entrepreneurs often use one successful enterprise to bankroll the next. To them it’s not about the money; it’s about making a huge difference in this world. Check out Richard Branson and Elon Musk in their drives to create and change the world.
* By the time we’ve become successful, we’ve usually become very focused on exactly what we want to contribute, and burnt our escape bridges. At this stage, we’ll likely have resolved to succeed or die trying!
* Ultimately, great success comes through clarity on contribution, not money. Although having a clear financial goal and a strategy to get there is key too.
* We can do lots ourselves. This is often noble, difficult and very one dimensional. To truly reach great heights, we need a team.
* Alongside letting go and delegating to a team, it’s imperative to be still and listen to the call of life too. When we’re able to get out of our own way, and move like leaves in the breeze, understand that life’s got this, take time to hear it; that’s when we really start to move mountains.
The higher we want to fly, the more grounded we need to be.
* 20% is strategy. 80% is about you, your working relationships, and your relationship with your own self. Which is why Jim Rohn wrote.
“Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job you can make a living, but if you work hard on yourself you'll make a fortune”
