Self-Mastery Advocates: Vol. 4 - Napoleon Hill

by -

Dubbed the grandfather of self-help, this giant of an author, speaker, and phenomenal influencer of the ages, Napoleon Hill is a great mentor to have in your corner, on your journey of becoming your best self.


Napoleon Hill Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author best known for his book "Think and Grow Rich," which has sold millions of copies worldwide. Hill was born in 1883 in Wise County, Virginia, and began his career as a journalist and writer at a young age. He is known for his work on the power of positive thinking and its role in personal success.

Hill conducted extensive research on the lives of successful people and developed a set of principles that he believed could be used to achieve success in any field. He spent many years studying the habits and characteristics of successful individuals and documenting his findings in his writings. Hill's work has significantly influenced the self-help and personal development movement, and his ideas are still widely studied and followed today.


Napoleon Hill’s "Think and Grow Rich," was published in 1937. The book is based on Hill's research on the lives of successful people and his belief that anyone can achieve success if they follow a specific set of principles.

Hill begins the book by stating that the mind is a powerful tool that can be used to achieve any goal or desire. He then introduces the concept of the "mastermind," which he defines as a group of individuals who come together to achieve a common goal. Hill believes the mastermind is essential for success, as it allows individuals to share ideas and support each other in pursuing their goals.

Throughout the book, Hill outlines 13 principles that he believes are essential for achieving success. These principles include the power of the mind, the importance of setting clear goals, the role of positive thinking, the importance of persistence, and the value of taking action. Hill also emphasizes the importance of personal development, including the need to continuously learn and grow.


In addition to these principles, Hill includes several examples and anecdotes from successful individuals to illustrate his points. He also includes exercises and suggestions for how readers can apply these principles in their own lives. Overall, "Think and Grow Rich" is a comprehensive guide to achieving success in any area of life. This classic self-help book has inspired millions of readers worldwide and remains popular today.

He has authored many other great books and I would leave you to find them, read them, and comment your recommendations. This brings the Self-Mastery Advocates series to an end, but I urge you to keep expanding your library as you ascend to a higher level of being. Thanks for being here, and as usual, see you in the comments.

Overcoming PTSD & OCD: Powerful Routines of a Nigerian Creative | PT 1

A GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH In my 7-year effort to build the Provoe brand (a platform teaching self-mastery), I applied some hacks that helped me to survive the challenges of being a Nigerian creative. Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder from my childhood without therapy, I encountered some toxic experiences in the entertainment industry, which helped me detect symptoms of bipolar disorder. I self-diagnosed my mental health condition through dedicated research and self-observation. Have you ever felt sad, angry, or confused, shortly after basking in joyful enthusiasm? It's OK to feel these emotions, as everyone does. But when your mood changes erratically, consider paying attention to your mind. What is Mental Health? Just like self-care - you brush your teeth, bathe, eat healthy, exercise, and get good sleep to maintain a healthy body. But what do you do to maintain a healthy mind? Mental health is about how you feel, think, and behave. This affects your attitude and impacts ...

Groomed for Doom - The Last Round

In 2002, two teenagers forged an unbreakable bond in their small town's rough, unforgiving neighborhoods. Jason, the older of the two, was tough, determined, and desperate for a way out of the cycle of poverty. Younger and full of untapped potential, Caleb looked up to Jason as his hero. They found their escape in an unlikely place: a rundown boxing gym at the edge of town, where the smell of sweat and hope filled the air. Jason: "You gotta keep your guard up, Caleb. This ain’t just about throwing punches. It’s about thinking. Outsmarting the guy in front of you." Caleb (panting): "I know… I’m trying, but you make it look easy." Jason (smirking): "It’s never easy. That’s why we’re here. No one’s gonna hand us anything. We gotta fight for it. You ready for that?" Caleb (determined): "Yeah. I’m ready." They would spar for hours after watching clips of their boxing heroes. The future was bright and they couldn't help but daydream their names...

Make That Move... (If You Dare)

My 7th year of losing streaks in the  forex markets   buried me beneath a mountain of debt, with a severely battered self-esteem, low enthusiasm, and cut off from friends, family, fans, and loved ones. Staying away from social gatherings was a high price I paid, and without traveling to see my family for years, no visible success to celebrate, and being single at this ripe age of 36... I became a shadow of a once-promising musician, writer, prolific multimedia producer, and digital creative. " I have been forgotten", a voice would say. Lonely, demotivated, and surrounded by stubborn circumstances, my approach to solving this challenge was adopted from one of Earl Nightingale's podcasts. Organize goals in order of priority. Do what would move the needle the most. Start where you are, and do what you can with what you have. Put every ounce of effort into fulfilling each task to the best of your ability. This has focused my strengths and resources on one project at a time,...

The Prison of "Special"

"I am the center of the universe. I come first, therefore I am most important."  Most people feel this notion, strongly, and some don't mind plotting, scheming, and deluding everyone (including themselves) to maintain this belief. To say otherwise is to commit treason, though once in a while, we see ourselves for the nothings we are, relative to the grand scheme of life. The tiny roles we play get exaggerated by our ego, and that's ok. Such was the case for Princessa, who was brought up to believe she was better than her neighbors. She maintained this belief, pushing herself to outgrow every environment she found herself in. Believing she was destined for Greatness, she wasn't allowed to mingle with "low-class" people. Her caliber of friends and acquaintances reflected this fact. She basked in the idea she was different, as c ompliments were showered on her, regularly .  Taking extra caution to live up to set expectations, she over-compensated in most ar...
