Let me first say that I enjoyed and appreciated reading Napoleon Hill’s classic wealthy mindset book, Think and Grow Rich. I can also say it was a brilliant strategy to take the principles of that book and put them in a modern medium (video) and create the “Secret,” another best seller and soon to be classic. They were both inspirational and chock full of exercises geared towards aligning your mind towards attracting wealth. I recommend anyone considering getting rich should own a copy of each. As a matter of fact, when surveyed, many self made millionaires said that “Think and Grow Rich” influenced them more than any other book except the Bible. That is pretty powerful.
As powerful as aligning your mind towards money is, it is NOT enough. Ultimately, only one thing will get you what you want – the one thing Napoleon Hill left out of the book and the “Secret” never addressed. That one thing is no real mystery – it’s DECISIVE ACTION.
“Rules such as ‘if I hold positive thoughts about prosperity, money will just start pouring into my life’ are just too simplistic to work… money exists in the physical domain. Money doesn’t come as the result of thoughts in the metaphysical realm; it comes as the result of actions in the physical domain." -Maria Nemeth, PhD; author of "The Energy of Money"

The bottom line is you can think about money, talk about it, write about it in your journal, list it with your things to do, hang it on the refrigerator in the form of an affirmation, and tell as many people that will bother to listen to you about your dreams, but none of that will make you successful unless you take decisive action. “Action speaks louder than words!”
Every day you must take focused and specific action towards your desired outcomes. If your thoughts and words are not congruent with your actions towards attaining wealth, then wealth will never be achieved. Once you align your thoughts, feelings and actions towards attaining wealth, it will come easy and continue to come for as long as you remain consistent.
