Quote of the Week: Napoleon Hill

Hey -

Have you heard of Napoleon Hill?

A few years ago, my friend Maddash (that was his “handle”) turned me on to his great book: “Think & Grow Rich”, which you should certainly read (if you haven’t already).

I read this when I was doing my first draft of “How To Get A Girlfriend“

I am four days away from moving in with my girlfriend, so I am sorting through some things at home and stumbled across the book: “The Master-Key to Riches“.

I remembered buying that book some years ago, when I purchased “Think & Grow Rich”, but never read it as I got so engrossed in the other.

Well, it is a very slim volume, and I thought to take a look at it – since I am a true self-improvement junkie.

You might be wondering – what the $%&# does this have to do with dating/meeting women?

Well, that would be a good question…but let me give you the quote FIRST, and then I think you’ll see how it fits in with my philosophy:

“It is impressive to recognize that all of the great leaders, in all walks of life and during all periods of history, have attained their leadership by the application of their abilities behind a definite major purpose.

It is no less impressive to observe that those who are classified as failures have no such purpose, but go around and around, like a ship without a rudder, coming back always empty-handed, to their starting point.

Some of these ‘failures’ begin with a definite major purpose but they desert that purpose the moment they are overtaken by temporary defeat or strenuous opposition. They give up and quit, not knowing that there is a philosophy of success which is as dependable and as definite as the rules of mathematics, and never suspecting that temporary defeat is but a testing ground which may prove a blessing in disguise if it is not accepted as final.

It is one of the great tragedies of civilization that ninety-eight out of every one hundred persons go all the way through life without coming within sight of anything that even approximates definiteness of a major purpose”

Again, this is from Napoleon Hill’s “The Master-Key to Riches” (p. 34).

I’ve you’ve read this blog with some regularity, you know that I harp over and over on how critical it is that YOU get clear with yourself on your purpose.

I do that because one of the true secrets to being attractive to women, is to KNOW your purpose and live your life accordingly.

Men who do not know their purpose, and who are unable/unwilling to organize their lives around that purpose, lack true integrity and cannot – in my estimation – be called true “men”.

Women are attracted to men…not boys…and certainly not “sargers”.

This is why the big secret to having more success with women is to define a purpose, and then pursue it. This unlocks a lifestyle with meaning, and alters your vibe considerably to the point where neediness is no longer an issue.

I cover this exhaustingly in my ebook “How To Get A Girlfriend”.

Have you downloaded it yet?

If not, nows the time.

Between you and me – I am testing a new price tag for it…so the cost is VERY low between now and Christmas. I pass that along at the end of this post though, so that only guys who are serious enough about their lives to really read here receive the benefits.

Questions?

POST THEM!
