BRX Pro Tip: 3 Tips From Think and Grow Rich
Stone Payton : Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, the gift that keeps on giving, Think and Grow Rich. What did you pick up from it the last time you read it?
Lee Kantor: Yeah. This is one of those books for us old folks that we’re probably in the Mount Rushmore of these kinds of books when it comes to being an entrepreneur or business owner. Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, definitely up there.
Lee Kantor: I think that it was so popular back in the day when we were younger. And it’s it’s foundational elements are still important today. I just don’t know if it’s as popular today as it was when we were younger. But, you know, when we started our career, this was one of those go-to books that we read, for sure. And then some of us read it on a regular basis to remind us of some of these important tenets.
Lee Kantor: But I think everybody can benefit from some of the tips. And here are some of the tips if you’re not familiar with it. Number one is you have to have an unshakable belief in yourself and your abilities. If you don’t believe in yourself, it is almost impossible to get others to follow you or to buy what you’re selling. So you have to have that kind of, you know, belief that yes, my services are worthless because if you don’t believe it, you’re never going to be able to sell it.
Lee Kantor: Two, you have to take decisive action towards your goals. You can’t just dream, and you can’t just hope. That’s not enough to succeed. If you want to succeed, you have to take action relentlessly.
Lee Kantor: And the third tenet, which I think that people are definitely doing nowadays and they may not know that it started with Napoleon Hill, but it’s surround yourself with like-minded people who can support and encourage you. I think he’s the one who coined the concept of forming a mastermind group, and he believed that anyone can achieve anything if they develop this specialized knowledge, and then put persistent action behind it in an unwavering belief while maintaining a positive mindset.
Lee Kantor: So if you’re not familiar with Think and Grow Rich, you should definitely check it out. It was an important book when I started my business career.
