3. Based on an extensive discussions with Andrew
Carnegie, a self made multi-millionaire in the early

Napoleon Hill documented the 13 principles, or
formulae, for success.
These are timeless and practical even today, as they

lasting relationships and inner harmony which bring
peace of mind measurable only in spiritual values.
Introduction

4. The 13 principles
1. Thoughts are things:
• Thoughts are extremely powerful when mixed with definiteness of
purpose, persistence and a burning desire for their translation to riches
• Failure is a trickster taking great delight in tripping one when success
in almost within reach
• Success comes to those who are “success conscious”
• Once you magnetize your mind with a strong desire of what you want,
nothing can come in the way
2. Desire
• A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which a
dream to grow takes off
• Every failure brings with it a seed of an equivalent success
• No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality

absolute faith and acts upon those orders

• You cannot entirely control your sub-conscious mind, but can
voluntarily hand over to it any plan, desire or purpose you wish
transformed into concrete form
• This can only be done through habit – be patient, be persistent
• If you fail to plant your desires into your sub-conscious mind, it
will feed upon thoughts reaching it as a result of your neglect
12. The Brain
• Every human brain is capable of picking up vibrations of thought
released by other brains
• The sub-conscious mind is the sending station of the brain
• The creative imagination is the receiving station of the brain
