Think, Believe, Achieve takes us on a journey through the world of successful entrepreneurs and businessmen – the best, the richest, the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. Sid Shah asks the how should one apply the classic 17 Principles of Success outlined by Napoleon Hill in his seminal work The Law of Success and the all-time best-selling book Think and Grow Rich?
Sid Shah’s theories are backed with real life examples from all across the world. Along the way, he explains the success secrets of legends like Conrad Hilton, Sam Walton, Jack Welch, K.V. Kamath, the evolution of ATMs by Citibank, the enthusiasm which differentiates Starbucks from its counterparts, the self-discipline of Oprah Winfrey, the accurate thinking at Southwest Airlines, Teamwork at HDFC, learning from adversity and defeat by Dhirubhai Ambani, the creative vision at Nike, managing your time like Andy Grove of Intel and Carlos Ghosn of Nissan, and many more timeless secrets.
Do you also want to know how to apply these classic Principles of Success to your life?
Based on Napoleon Hill's 17 principles of Personal Achievement, Think Believe Act-chieve introduces the principles briefly, and discusses examples of these principles in action, via case studies from popular brands and quotes from famous people. The quotes and case studies are from present times and include those from India too. The recency and inclusion of Indian examples is something quite important and IMO, it's the USP of this book as it helps relate with the topic. Being able to relate with these principles is the precursor to being able to apply them to your own life.
At under 200 pages, the author has done an excellent job of making the book concise so it remains approachable for all types of readers. Those who are curious to learn more would be reassured to find that Mr. Sid Shah runs several programs which can help you understand and apply these principles to your own life. Being associated with the Napoleon Hill Foundation, Mr. Shah is well qualified to write and coach on this topic.
I highly recommend this book and also Mr. Shah's programs, especially the 90-day one.
P.S: The play of words in the title is intentional, as you'll learn in Chapter 3
