Harv Eker and must admit that I’m really impressed. The audio version was read by Eker himself and he did an excellent job keeping you entertained and interested throughout the book.

The book was filled with great insights and examples of what makes people successful. Eker’s writing style was very conversational and you felt like he was having a conversation with you.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it.

If things were different, would you be already successful? Is there something in your life that is the main reason for your failure? I bet that you have at least one or more of these alibis. Which one are you hiding behind?

IF I didn’t have a wife and family . . .
IF I had enough “pull” . . .
IF I had money . . .
IF I had a good education . . .
IF I could get a job . . .
IF I had good health . . .
IF I only had time . . .
IF times were better . . .
IF other people understood me . . .
IF conditions around me were only different . . .
IF I could live my life over again . . .
IF I did not fear what “THEY” would say . . .
IF I had been given a chance . . .
IF I now had a chance . . .
IF other people didn’t “have it in for me” . . .
IF nothing happens to stop me . . .
IF I were only younger . . .
IF I could only do what I want . . .
IF I had been born rich . . .
IF I could meet “the right people” . . .
IF I had the talent that some people have . . .
IF I dared assert myself . . .
IF I only had embraced past opportunities . . .
IF people didn’t get on my nerves . . .
IF I didn’t have to keep house and look after the children . . .
IF I could save some money . . .
IF the boss only appreciated me . . .
IF I only had somebody to help me . . .

IF I could just get a “break” . . .
IF I could only get out of debt . . .
IF I hadn’t failed . . .
IF I only knew how . . .
IF everybody didn’t oppose me . . .
IF I didn’t have so many worries . . .
IF I could marry the right person . . .
IF people weren’t so dumb . . .
IF my family were not so extravagant . . .
IF I were sure of myself . . .
IF luck were not against me . . .
IF I had not been born under the wrong star . . .
IF it were not true that “what is to be will be” . . .
IF I did not have to work so hard . . .
IF I hadn’t lost my money . . .
IF I lived in a different neighborhood . . .
IF I didn’t have a “past” . . .
IF I only had a business of my own . . .
IF other people would only listen to me . . .
IF * * * and this is the greatest of them all * * * I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me,and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.

Here’s a snippet of what he said:

… Here is a man who was born of poor parents. Since the first day that he can remember he has seen evidence of poverty. He has hard talk of poverty. He has felt the icy hand of poverty on his shoulders and it has so impressed him that he fixes it in his mind as a curse to which “he must submit”. Quite unconsciously he permits himself to fall victim of the belief “once poor always poor” until that belief becomes the dominating thought of his mind. He resembles a horse that has been harnessed and broken until it forgets that it has the potential power with which to throw off that harness. Auto-suggestion is rapidly relegating him to the back of the stage of life. Finally he becomes a “quitter”. Ambition is gone. Opportunity comes his way no longer, or if it does he has not the vision to see it. He has accepted his FATE! It is a well established fact that the faculties of the mind, like the limbs of the body, atrophy and wither away if not used. self-confidence is no exception. It develops when used but disappears if not used…

This is something that I can fully relate with. After my parent’s divorced when I was around the age of 11, my mother supported both my brother and I. Being a seasonal worker at the local fish plant, she never had a lot of money. Times were hard. I remember when I was so cold in my room that I had to use a hair dryer under my sheets to stay warm.

She did her best though and we managed. We had a roof over our heads and food on the table and that is what matters the most.

Since my humble beginnings I haven’t pushed myself to have more than a paycheck to paycheck existence. Sure, I’ve taken on second jobs, started small businesses, etc, to supplement my income, but never really “going for the gold”. Going about my day being comfortable with my poor existence with the hopes of things getting better. I felt that because of my past, there was no way that I could be rich.

I’ve since realized (thanks to Napoleon Hill) that my past does not dictate my future. I know that I am in full control of my life and have full confidence that I will succeed. This did not come naturally however, I had to work on this confidence. I still have to overcome many self doubts and the fear of what others might think. My poor past created this lack of confidence, but I choose to ignore it. Now-a-days I just shrug off the feeling and just push myself to keep going. I’m less concerned about public opinion as I used to be. I figured if I concentrate on helping others and providing useful information, that is all that truly matters.

He was born with no arms and no legs, but despite those inflictions he is fully independent. He has a wonderful mental attitude and makes me appreciate just how easy I have things in comparison. We take so many things for granted in our lives, it’s hard sometimes to realize just how lucky we are.

Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find that you have crossed the mountain. -Author Unknown

“It’s too hard” or “it can’t be done” are phrases I hear way too often. Most people when given a difficult problem automatically look at the no-can-do side of the situation. They focus on the things which they have no control or there is no immediate solution rather then taking action on the things they can do something about. Henry Ford was once asked by Napoleon Hill if there was a problem that he could not overcome. Mr. Ford said that he didn’t believe there was. According to Napoleon, Mr Ford said that whenever he if faced with a difficult situation and a solution is not known, the first thing he did was begin working on the things that he can do something about. By the time he reached the spot where there was no solution, the problem would have already been solved or a solution was already developed to resolve the problem.

Take a few minutes to watch this video and remember that no matter how hard things may seem, never give up.

I first heard this essay/poem by Napoleon on the “Your Right to be Rich” audio CD which is a recording of a live seminar he did back in the mid 1950s in Chicago, IL.

This essay, which he called “A Challenge to Life” should be printed out and read daily before you head out in the morning. It is one of the most motivational poems/essays that I have ever read.

A Challenge to Life

Life, you can’t subdue me because I refuse to take your discipline too seriously. When you try to hurt me, I laugh-and the laughter knows no pain. I appreciate your joys wherever I find them; your sorrows neither discourage nor frighten me, for there is laughter in my soul.

Temporary defeat does not make me sad. I simply set music to the words of defeat and turn it into a song. Your tears are not for me, I like laughter much better, and because I like it, I use it as a substitute for grief and sorrow and pain and disappointment.

Life, you are a fickle trickster, don’t deny it. You slipped this emotion of love into my heart so that you might use it as a thorn with which to prick my soul, but I learned to dodge your trap with laughter. You tried to lure me with the desire for gold, but I have fooled you by following the trail which leads to knowledge instead. You induced me to build beautiful friendships, then converted my friends to enemies so you may harden my heart, but I sidestepped your fickleness by laughing off your attempts and selecting new friends in my own way.

You caused men to cheat me at trade so I will become distrustful, but I win again because I possess one precious asset which no man can steal, it is the power to think my own thoughts and to be myself. You threaten me with death, but to me death is nothing worse than a long peaceful sleep, and sleep is the sweetest of human experiences, excepting laughter. You build a fire of hope in my heart, then sprinkle water on the flames, but I can go you one better by rekindling the fire, and I laugh at you once more.

Life, you are licked as far as I’m concerned because you have nothing with which to lure me away from laughter, and you are powerless to scare me into submission. To a life of laughter then, I raise my cup of cheer.

Pick up your copy of Napoleon Hill’s Your Right to be Rich on Amazon. You won’t regret it. Simply amazing.
