    Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich

    HOT! 
    That's a great one too, and just like Think and Grow Rich - most people never read it and many that do just don't get it. But I'm a fan of George Samuel Clason's book too. We should start a thread on it to discuss.

    What should I say on a cold call to corporate controllers?

    MARKETING 
    I recommend the book Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff as the next step for you. He has a blog here: http://pitchanything.com/ That book focuses on selling investment opportunities to venture capitalists, but the principles are great and applicable to what you're doing.

    NDA

    I guess it depends on how much you want to do business, but usually the request to sign an NDA means working for somebody that has a 'scarcity' mindset and is overly controlling. Ultimately it means the person is fearful in some way. As we know, ideas without action are worthless. I guess you...

    Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich

    HOT! 
    The closest thing I've seen to that is 'Outliers' which takes the approach of explaining away success as a combination of lucky opportunities. He has a whole chapter essentially on Bill Gates. That's what the modern world wants to sell - scientific debunking of what many of us actually feel to...

    Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich

    HOT! 
    My current love of the book didn't happen when I first tried to read it. It's a different book from a different time, written to a different audience (could say the same thing about ancient religious texts that people love to misinterpret...) The first time I read it I hated it. I didn't get...

    Well... I'm officially a Millionaire

    A huge round of congratulations, very inspiring.

    Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

    BOOKS 
    You're absolutely right, but to anybody who's mature enough to understand the topic, they get it. There's a lot to be said for refocusing all of that energy towards a goal instead of partying. It reminds me of this Longfellow quote: "The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained...

    "The One Thing"....excellent book

    BOOKS 
    YES! This book was actually transformational for me personally, and my business. I struggled a long time with trying to do too much, getting easily distracted, and low productivity even though I was always busy working. Reading and actually applying this one book has been vital to my recent...

    CA$HVERTISING by Drew Eric Whitman

    BOOKS 
    Just adding my 2 cents on this book, but it's an essential one for anybody doing advertising - especially on the web. The concept of Life-Force 8 and the specific pitfalls to avoid will make you a better advertiser than 95% of people who are trying to do advertising. I see people making...

    Third circle theory! Great book!

    BOOKS 
    I found Third Circle Theory before TMF and I REALLY liked it too. I recommend it, but it's not the kind of book to read quickly. Definitely take time to study it rather than just speed through it.

    audible.com

    BOOKS 
    I actually really like Audible. A monthly subscription helped me pick out and listen to books that I never would have made time to read the print versions of. It also gave me lots of fresh stuff to listen to while I work out in the mornings. I still have some in my library I didn't get around...

    Eat That Frog

    BOOKS 
    I had this one on audio book and I listened to the whole thing, but I found it needlessly repetitive. It's just beating a dead horse that you'll usually be more productive if you do the most difficult thing you need to do that day first, then cruise through the rest which will feel easier by...

    The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

    BOOKS 
    I've read it, and while I liked it, I can't say it had a huge impact on me personally or my business. I think my only major takeaway from it was understanding that everybody sees the world through a different paradigm and that we shouldn't be hasty to judge people based on our own because we're...

    The Success Principles by Jack Canfield

    BOOKS 
    Honestly I thought this was a lot of regurgitation of what I'd already seen, read, and heard from other authors and speakers. While I like Jack Canfield, I think this was just a repackaging type of thing for money. I would only recommend to people that are new into self-help type stuff because...

    Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

    BOOKS 
    I'd say that sums it up well. The main line is 'Whatever a man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.' The key word in that phrase is CAN. Contrary to what many people are led to believe with 'law of attraction' stuff, it's not that you WILL achieve it's that you CAN achieve. As MJ teaches...

    The Ultimate Gift - Recommendation

    BOOKS 
    I find it interesting that not many people talk about this one. I read the book and saw the movie, and I liked the movie better quite honestly. Good messages, and I don't think it tries to say 'money is evil' but more along the lines of 'money without discipline is never a good thing' and that...

    Unleash the power within

    BOOKS 
    I can vouch for the fact that it's worthwhile to get Tony's recordings of this seminar (even though they are older) because I've found them inspiring and uplifting in ways that have helped motivate me successfully.

    4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss

    BOOKS 
    I read 4HWW a few years before TMF. While I liked 4HWW, I'm not interested in being Tim or living the kind of lifestyle he designed for himself. His focus is on escaping the job even if you don't have a lot of money. TMF is much more aligned with my current goals (wealth acquisition) since...

    Really Good Book For Copywriting and Content Marketing

    MARKETING 
    I know it's been a while since you posted, but has this book actually changed results in your business in any way? What was the biggest takeaway from it? I'm always interested in learning to write better, but from reading the description it didn't convince me.

    What is your life like without a college degree?

    HOT! 
    I think this is a great thread and it's great to compare experiences. Did you find it difficult to find high paying work without a degree? Not in my case because I taught myself SEO & marketing on the internet and was never hard up because I landed a major client early and was well paid to...
