This book has helped a number of people, including victorious personalities, such as Clement Stone, a self-made billionaire.

The prolific writer has written several motivational books which emphasizes on achieving your personal goal by making strategies. He has spent around 25 years to identify why everyone doesn’t achieve happiness and financial success? Hill laid out 13 principles of success in the form of philosophy in his motivational self-help debut writing, “Think and Grow Rich”. As a publisher, he owned a media house that has published few of his works. Think And Grow Rich’s second edition, a rework and a compressed version of the original, was released in the year 1960.

As a person, Hill was a versatile man, a contingent entrepreneur who became an author and later on a leading advisor to some of the United States’ millionaires and also to Franklin D. Roosevelt, The President. He always preached about personal beliefs and its role in success. Hill’s last work “You Can Work Your Own Miracles” got printed after he departed in November of 1970.

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”
