]]>In this episode, bestselling author and success leader, Greg Reid takes a deep dive into his book Thoughts Are Things where he and his co-author, Bob Proctor, reveal the true mindsets that determine where a person will be successful.
In their book Reid and Proctor interview professionals to dissect the psychological science of thought and how successful people think differently from others who are unable to reach their potential. The goal of the book is to teach you how to manipulate your thoughts, what kinds of thoughts will make you wealthy, and how thinking is significant to achieve a meaningful life.
This book is perfect for entrepreneurs who admire the works of Napoleon Hill and are ready to change everything about their lives in order to control their actions when it comes to wealth and success.
Thought Are Things is not necessarily the truth and we come right out and say it. The reality is it’s thought backed by massive action that becomes things. If thoughts were things I’d be a pizza because I am starving and thinking about pizza. You got to think it, you got to feel it, but ultimately you got to do it.
You can literally open up any chapter and start fresh.
One of the greatest things that people did was to be very careful of the people they surrounded themselves with. And the thoughts that you put into your head are a direct proportion of the people you’re hanging out with. So it’s important to seek counsel and not people’s opinions. It’s important also to have many mentors in our life.
To write the book we sat down with amazing human beings and found out exactly how their thoughts dictated where they are today.
Thoughts backed by massive action become true reality. One of the big takeaways is about the subconscious mind where you have no control of what it is. One thing that kept popping up was fear – fear is one of the biggest driving things that hold us back and most of it is manmade fear. We spend 90% of our time worrying about 10% that really happens. And fear is a great mechanism and it files away emotional pain, regret, and embarrassment and that’s why if we fail at something we are reluctant to try it again. The subconscious mind pulls from that memory to keep us safe and away from experiencing that same outcome. Sometimes we have to trick that subconscious mind and the way that people do that is they put more positive on top of that negative. Sometimes thoughts are important but you also have to take necessary actions and course directions to make your dreams a reality. Successful people seek counsel and failures listen to opinion. And the difference is that opinion is based on ignorance, lack of knowledge and inexperience, and counsel is based on wisdom, knowledge, and mentorship. If we would spend our daily lives only seeking and listening to counsel and ignoring people’s opinions, that’s the day your life would change.

“Fears only enemy is action in the absence of faith.” – Greg Reid
I live in San Diego, California with you wife and my two year old son. I get to write books, make movies, travel the world, and meet some of the most influential people of our time and then tell their stories.
To start with I did Thoughts Are Things with a legendary author named Bob Proctor and this book is the very first one in the Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich series. The whole concept is if you ever read Think and Grow Rich, the first three words are Thoughts Are Things. Bob and I decided to take those three words and expand on them and from there we created this gem that people are loving national wide.

]]>In this episode, Honoree Corder takes a deep dive into her book, Vision To Reality where she helps you answer the question what do you really want and why haven’t you already got it.
In her book, Corder points you in the right direction to achieving success by talking about her coaching philosophy and program. She will teach you how to increase efficiency and effectiveness, overcome challenges, increase productivity, and live with passion and purpose.
This book is perfect for the entrepreneur who wants the steps used by successful entrepreneurs to transform their daily actions into the life of their dreams.
My book is different because I didn’t add in any additional pages, I went straight for the tip of the spear. It’s less than 150 pages and it’s all very high content and something someone can use as a reference.
I like everyone to read my books all the way through and then take it section by section.
That they need to give themselves the clear space to define their vision.
In chapter one I start by asking what do you really want and why haven’t you already got it? I discuss in this chapter why you don’t have what you want and what’s happened to prevent you from getting it. I talk about this fictional character Ted who is in all of us and he’s this unintentional guy who is not really sure about why he hasn’t achieved success. I am not a fiction writer but I like to bring people some kind of recognition of themselves and to also know that they are not alone. I then point you in the right direction to achieving success by talking about my coaching philosophy and program.
I talk about the STMA (Short term massive action) and I help people to define what it is that they are looking for and then turning it into reality. Before they can really figure that out they need to figure out what is in the gab that’s holding them back.
I talk about who someone needs to be because I think that being-ness is so important verses doing-ness. I go through all of the things of who someone needs to be in order to turn their vision into reality.
In chapter two I get into the exciting stuff which is what is possible. I think that pretty much anything is possible with a few exceptions.
And then in chapter three I start talking about how your vision becomes your reality – how do you sit down and craft the vision? I also talk about what might come in the way of your vision and how to avoid those things.
In chapter four we talk about your goals because once you create a vision you need to have goals. If you have the right goals they get you up early and keep you up late. You are really, really tired but you are also happy because you’re building something that you like. So we talk about how to set these goals so that they are driving you effortlessly.
In chapter five I get into the power of laser focus – how do you turn the actions that you have identified into the action steps that you’re doing every day. Knowing that you need to do something is different from actually doing it.
In chapter six I talk about what your ‘I am’ is. Any words you say after ‘I am’ is a command to your subconscious mind and I want everyone to choose their ‘I am’ statements with intention and purpose.
The title of chapter seven is Who’s on Your Bench which means who is in your environment, who is holding you accountable, who’s pushing you and pulling you. And also who you need to network with so that you can grow your business effortlessly.
In chapter eight I talk about old habits. Old habits eat good intentions for lunch. Trying to have willpower will not be enough and so you have to engineer circumstances in your life and I give some examples on how to do that.
Finally in chapter nine we discuss the planning phase.
And in chapter 10 we figure out how you are going to pull it all together and make it actually happen.

]]>Who is Napoleon Hill and Everything An Entrepreneur Should Know About Him
Have you ever wondered why some people are so successful when millions out there are breaking their backs to make ends meet? Of course they are not doing anything out of this world nor have they been blessed by the gods. This is one question that many wantrepreneurs and aspiring business people have been asking for years and thankfully, we have Napoleon Hill’s works among us providing the answer.
Who is Napoleon Hill? Well, he is considered by many as one of the most popular motivational authors of all time. Of course, he did not find the “holy grail” of business success and marketing but he did produce some of the most amazing books on business success that have inspired millions of people around the world.
Born in October 26, 1883, Napoleon Hill is considered as one of the proponents of the new thought movement and probably he is the precursor of the literary genre which is today known as personal success literature. Known and celebrated as one of the most successful writers on success, he has authored the bestselling book of all time – ‘Think and Grow Rich’. Amazing as it might sound, 20 million copies of this book were sold throughout the world before his death. He delved deep into the psychology of successful people and tried to figure out their mental prowess that leads to their immense success in the world of business. Even at some point of his life, he became an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and this shows how influential he was in his days. Throughout his life, he tried to find the elusive formula that he strongly believed can transcend a normal or regular guy into a person with success.
If you have ever heard these beautiful and powerful words like – “Anything the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”, you have got an idea of his authority on this particular literary genre. He had interviewed successful people from different walks of life and reached the conclusion that there are certain characteristics that have made these people so successful in their lives. He went on further to say that if common people like you and I can emulate the characteristics of these wealthy persons the chances of successful in life will increase manifolds.
In his book ‘Think and Grow Rich’, he laid out 13 easy to follow rules that he wants us to believe have the secret sauce of success. Okay, we are not saying that whoever read this book is going to be the next billionaire. Well sadly, the world not such a beautiful place. Rather this book contains some practical advice on how to make money, be a greater leader and to be uber successful.
The book has an interesting history. Andrew Carnegie was the person who encouraged Napoleon Hill to start his quest for the secret formula of success. Andrew Carnegie a business tycoon in his days steadfastly believed that success could be defined via a single and simple formula. During an interview of him taken by Napoleon Hill, he got so much impressed that he assigned the job to Napoleon. He asked him to take interview of 500 (+) men and women to find the secret of success. Some of the famous people that Napoleon Hill interviewed are – John Wanamaker, Theodore Roosevelt, Charles M. Schwab, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell and more. The result is his magnus opus – ‘Think and Grow Rich’.

]]>In this episode Don Green, director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, shares his exclusive insights into Think and Grow Rich, the original landmark bestseller for all business people. This book is a must have and is perfect for entrepreneurs, business executives, and owners who are searching for the secrets on how to become rich. Green unveils the inspiration behind Napoleon Hill’s motives and gives you a complete deep dive into the main concepts for real business success.
He was the first to write about this and I know a lot of authors who write about the same thing but practically everyone you look at has the bases of Napoleon Hill.
Napoleons books are the type that you plan and work as you read through it.
Napoleon would want us to learn how to think and that’s what the whole book is about. For every situation that comes up, to use our imagination, make plans and persist. So many people think that getting an education is about memorizing a bunch of material but if you went to school long enough to just learn how to think then you can get the information that you’re seeking. Our motto is to make the world a better place for each to live.
The book starts out with Thought or Things and that simply means that everything begins in our thought process, it’s a thought before it’s a thing. You can have a thought that never materializes because we never really think about it.
The second chapter is on desire and desire is basically what you want out of life. Napoleon tells us that at the starting point of all achievement are definiteness of purpose and I think that is lacking in most people.
The third chapter is on faith and to me it’s very interesting because Napoleon talks about visualization and a lot of this material he uses would come back from the bible.
In chapter four Napoleon talks about Auto-suggestion, what we say to ourselves is extremely important because it stirs our subconscious mind. We don’t want to tell people that we are broke or use this negative self-explanation because it’s real easy for it to come apart of us.
Chapter five is on Specialized Knowledge and is extremely important because to really achieve goodness, you have to stand out in a particular area. Specialized knowledge is what big money is paid for and what brings recognition.
Chapter six is Imagination – The Workshop of The Mind. In this chapter Napoleon tells us how to use imagination and what can become of it.
Chapter seven is about Organize Planning in which Napoleon says it is putting your desire into action. You have to plan and then execute the plan but it doesn’t always mean the plan goes exactly like you intended. This chapter will show you exactly how to do just that.
The fourteenth chapter is called The Sixth Sense – The Door to the Temple of Wisdom. It’s important that we recognize that we don’t have to have all the answers because nobody does and it’s possible to get them from other sources with having an open mind.
The fifteenth chapter of Think and Grow Rich is called How to Outwit the Six Ghost of Fear. Napoleon says that the biggest of all six fears is the fear of poverty and most end up with this fear because of their thought process.
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” by Napoleon Hill
I come from banking and finance background of 38 years and I was a bank president for 28. While I was president of the bank I contacted Napoleon Hill Foundation when they invited me to come up and have dinner with them. It was then that I was invited to be a board member of the foundation. Around the year of 2000 the previous executive director asked me to take over and it’s worked out just wonderful ever since.
Napoleon was in law school at Georgetown University when he had the big idea of writing to cover expenses for him and his brother. It was then that he got a job with Bob Taylor magazine and Napoleon covered multiple newsworthy stories. He was challenge by Andrew Carnegie to go interview successful men and women to find out why some people were successful. This is what he spent the best portion of his life doing and didn’t just write about them but answered the questions that everyone wanted answers to.
