This is just a summary of all the tips given in the classical “Think and Grow Rich” book by Napoleon Hill. There is so much wisdom in this book. Just look back at your life, find a time that you’d failed to achieve something, and I assure you will find the reason here below:

1. UNFAVORABLE HEREDITARY BACKGROUND.

3. LACK OF AMBITION TO AIM ABOVE MEDIOCRITY.
4. INSUFFICIENT EDUCATION.

6. ILL HEALTH.  caused by overeating, wrong thinking habits of thought, over indulgence in sex, lack of proper physical exercise
