Napoleon Hill, the forefather of the modern personal development movement and author of the motivational classic, Think and Grow Rich, has inspired millions with his words and thoughts on discovering success and abundance within oneself. It is a message that continues to resonate, but few have ever had the opportunity to hear the “success” lecture by the man himself.

At the University of Virginia archives, Don M. Green, CEO of the Napoleon Hill Foundation was doing a routine inventory check when he discovered a box of unedited and undeveloped 16 millimeter film canisters circa 1960. After working carefully to restore and digitize the filmed content what was discovered was “pure gold”—Napoleon Hill and his longtime partner W. Clement Stone sharing their inspirational insights on the 13 keys to success. The 13 principles that when applied can truly separate you from the 95% who only dream of success, and let you join the top 5% who actually achieve it!

The Napoleon Hill Foundation sent a copy of the archive film to a who’s who list of today’s top motivational speakers and achievers whose feedback was unanimous in its praise. Not only is the information practical, useful, and enduring, it is exactly what society needs to hear right now as we struggle through challenges never before seen in our lifetime. Agreeing to participate in an innovative structure, each current thought leader went into the studio to share provocative insights on these revisited gems, creating a masterful collaboration unlike anything else in the marketplace.

In this ebook text transcription of this collaboration, you will not only read W. Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill share their time tested insights, but you will also read additional commentary by today’s inspirational leaders as they expand on these time-tested and classic principles of success. Join us as we countdown the 13 Keys to Success.

Corbin, Margie Aliprandi, Nik Halik, LuAn Mitchell, Ruben Gonzalez, Dr. J.B. Hill, John St. Augustine, Kevin Harrington, Jim Stovall, Marcia Wieder, John Assaraf, and Brian Tracy.

FIVE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES FOR WINNING… IN ANY ENVIRONMENT

The Boardroom Buddha reveals universal, but seldom-known, principles that lead to success, prosperity, and happiness. In this inspiring parable, world-class executive Dean Z. Myers provides a unique set of success tools that can be used in not just business, but all areas of life. It’s a secret code to life, work, and relationships that will change your world.

In this book, you will discover:

• How to overcome the challenge of collaboration in a world that can be volatile, uncertain, complex, and full of ambiguity—or VUCA, for short.


• Universal principles that will change the way you work, think, and respond to any situation or person


• Bonus Author Insights that discuss the application of the Five Principles in your life!

The Boardroom Buddha reveals principles that can be applied immediately to change the course of your business and your life. Once you learn them, they will always be available to you, regardless of your challenge. It’s the difficult customer who can never be satisfied, a boss who oozes inauthenticity, or a coworker or associate who is so disagreeable they can’t even agree to disagree. But don’t let this book’s title mislead you—the principles in this book are not applicable to only the business world. They are tools to help change the trajectory of your personal relationships, even really tough ones that make business challenges seem insignificant in comparison.

The Universal Principles provide solutions to this challenge. These principles work every time, without fail, although it is also true if you violate any of these principles, you will pay a price.

Follow the journey as our mentor, Sam, shares these very same principles with his mentee, Anna. Apply the lessons to your own career and life. Watch how they change the direction of your business and the elevation of your relationships and happiness. Like the wisdom of a buddha, these principles are universal and life changing.

Read this book, and let the principles always be with you!

I1 Habit™ Could Change Your Life Forever

You know the joy you feel when you are so passionate about your "why" that you can't wait to wake up and jump right into life? That motivation will get you started, but to be able to follow through, you need the Habits that will help you place one foot in front of the other when things get tough.

Author, Steve Samblis spent years searching the world for the most successful people on the planet. He got to know them and asked them each "What was the one most crucial habit in your life that has made the most significant impact on your success." He then took these 100 Habits and put them into a book called 1 Habit.

Not only does the 1 Habit contain the Habits, but it also teaches you how to make a Habit part of who you are. Make it part of your being. Once instilled in you, the Habits becomes something you just automatically now do, and that automates your pathway to success.

These Habits come from people that you want to model your life after. A group that Steve has termed as “Happy Achievers”. People that are operating at the highest levels Emotionally, Spiritual, their Physical Character, the way they Live, and of course, Financially. Happiness through the balance of performing and living at your peak in all those areas of their lives.

Bottom line, you could spend 20 years of trial and error trying to find these Habits for yourself, or you can read 1 Habit and learn from others that have already done the work for you. 1 Habit compresses decades into days.

Lastly, the knowledge you will find in 1 Habit is not power. Execution is power. If you don't put these habits into your life, what you have in your heart, your desires will honestly only be a dream. And, the last thing we want is for you to be 90 years old and you look back and say… "Wow, that was a nice dream." When it could be your reality if you start adopting these Habits into your life right today.
