Think & Grow Rich 13 Principles "Deep Dive" #4: Specialised Knowledge

Look up to the ceiling in the room in which you are sitting and you will see a light fitting. Know that if it were not for Thomas Edison’s specialised knowledge, you might, even now, be sitting in a room lit by gaslight or candles. The world has benefited from Edison’s focussed parameter of knowledge. Edison became a multi-millionaire (back in the days when that really was a huge amount of money) by having specialised knowledge and definite intentions.

 The 4th Principle towards Riches – Specialised Knowledge

Napoleon Hill and You

Through his philosophy of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill has made many millions of people successful. This is because they trusted that he knew what he was talking about and they did exactly as he advised. There are many ways to be successful, but you have a choice; you can commit to Hill's success philosophy or you take the chance that your philosophy is or will be more effective than the man who is quoted as having made (and is still making) more millionaires than any other person in history.

In order to bring the TAGR philosophy to you, Hill did many years of researching, analysis and testing. In other words he sought and followed specialised knowledge he needed in order to put together TAGR. It is this specialised knowledge which allowed Hill to truly know what he was talking about.

Notice how it was not essential that Hill have this knowledge initially in his own mind. Surely no person who has sufficient inclination and intelligence to read Think & Grow Rich can possibly miss the significance of the above illustration.

Whatever you would like to achieve, whatever you call success, you will need specialised knowledge and specialist connections in order to attain whatever it is you call riches.

What your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve, with the right knowledge. This knowledge, remember, does not have to be in your own brain.

Hey You!

‘You must deliver this service at the right standards, each day, in order to transmute desire into riches.’
