Oprah Winfrey well duh!
Sir Richard Branson - Virgin Brand
Mike Ferry - Infomercial Salesman
Anthoy Robbins - Motivational and Personal Development Speaker

Below is a video of Oprah Winfrey talking about the secret and think and grow rich.

Oprah and The Secret Think and Grow Rich - Video

Since I have grown fond of Napoleon Hill, I keep hearing his name pop up in conversation. Even on TV Shows, and talk shows. Sometimes it is only a quick reference to Napoleon Hill, but I hear the name often now. I personally believe that many successful people have this book in there collection.

I think success is a combination of things, not just from one author or one person. Napoleon Hill probably have a lot to do with the newbie but I think you will find your own ways once you start venturing out.

Heck yes! I completely agree. Napoleon Hill has many books, and many successful people are sure to have read one or two of them. No doubt, endless will recommend a newbie to engage in his books. The motivational aspect alone is what many new entrepreneurs need to get the "Up And Go" that they need.

Rethinking the title. It is possible that Napoleon Hill had motivated some well known people to become who they are today. Oprah actually states how her ideas coincide with the secret and think and grow rich. Regardless, worth watching

Thanks

Don't know any other celebrities apart from Oprah.

But all the most popular courses and books on self development and success are in some way or another based on Napoleon Hills work.

Cheers,

Oprah is a biggie, and Robbins, but many successful, less famous folks I've met label TAGR as an inspiration to them....I fall in that crowd lol

Think and grow rich is the source of my success and many other people I know.

The problem is most people are looking at it with left brained thinking so it will never work for them.

There are many answers in that book but most people won't see what's sitting right infront of them because of there current frame of thinking won't allow it

I didn't read that book for at least 5 years. I thought it was bull*.

As my awareness expanded and read it again (the first 4 chapters). I applied it and within months I had made more money than a made the entire year prior.

It works, but only for the people that are ready!

Thanks

Thanks for all the input everyone - we're just going a little off topic though I feel. I just wanted to see if there were any current famous people who credited Napoleon Hill's work in relation to their success!

Why do they have to be famous?

I am sure there are plenty of infamous people who have read the book and had amazing success from it.

For example most people don't know who the best selling author is of all time is or what he or she looks like. (without using google lol)

But yet I am sure they are incredibly successful financially.

It's the people who are behind the scenes normally who make the most money.

The people you never heard of or seen before

Even in online business!

The silent but deadly ones lol

Thanks

Agreed. Although still avoiding the question Eloquent asked,

Been doing a bit of research on this. I am sure Eloquent can agree with what I am looking for. What I am trying to find is an actual celebrity or famous business man that states on the media that the reason for his success was Napoleon Hill.

Ex:
Napoleon Hill inspired me to keep pushing until my product went mainstream

I read Napoleon Hill books whenever I need inspiration for my projects

If you want to succeed in business, Read Napoleon Hill as I did

My perspectives of how success is achieved came from Think And Grow Rich

It is difficult to find information on. I am sure that most successful business people we never hear anything about. It is only the Mainstream that we hear a lot about and hearing about Napoleon from them seems unlikely. Whether or not it was the purpose of there success is something that may never hit the media. I will continue to keep my eye open though!

Thanks

Spot on! They have to be famous purely and simply because I proposed this in the question; it's specifically what I'm intrigued in knowing! I know many successes too who have put their achievements down to following Napoleon Hill's wise words but this isn't what I asked for I'm afraid, that's all...

Thanks

i read the book a long time ago ..

despite writing the most important work on building wealth ..hill himself was broke or in finacial distress most of his adult life ..until w clement stone ..the same guy who got Jack Canfield going ..helped make stone wealthy before hill retired .

also it is interesting that Jerry hicks ..ester hicks husband ..who channels Abraham which has been behind the law of attraction spread ..made his money by teaching courses on think and grow rich .

from what i understand hills work orriginally had the law of attraction stuff in it..but it was edited out .

a lot of teachers are very bad at following the advice they teach .

Thanks

It's like a matrix. And it works no question.

Awesome Chapter. it should have been the first.

I think they put it in the back because back the sex was more looked down upon.

How exactly do you use ST?

My technique is to breath deep whilst visualising and pulling that energy up.

Just a short while ago I heard someone dissing his book and labeling it as impractical. Sorry I did not hear any big shots sing praises of Napoleon Hill. Maybe they may be keeping their secrets safe
