Andrew Carnegie believed: “It is the mind that makes the body rich. There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else. Money can only be the useful drudge of things immeasurably higher than itself.” And he is also quoted: “The man who dies thus rich, dies disgraced”.
Andrew Carnegie not only wanted to be rich himself. He wanted other people to get rich, too. He was convinced, that there was something existing like the “Formula of Success”. A set of rules easy enough, so that the average person would be capable to apply it.
In 1908 Andrew Carnegie met a young journalist for an interview. His name was Napoleon Hill. Napoleon Hill must have impressed steel-tycoon Andrew Carnegie, because Mr. Carnegie commissioned Napoleon Hill with a task that should finally take him 20 years to perform.
The result was a book: “The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons”. This book was a concentrate of interviews with more than 500 millionaires and multimillionaires back then. And it finally contained the Formula of Success, Andrew Carnegie had postulated.
Moreover, it was the first publication of a series of 12 book which can considered as a Secret of Success Philosophy. The most successful book in this series is Napoleon Hills 2nd book “Think And Grow Rich”. It sold more than 30 million copies and still sells today.
Andrew Carnegie initiated and contributed to Napoleon Hill’s Philosophy of Success. What he knew to say about getting rich and becoming a millionaire is contained in all of Napoleon Hill’s 12 “money-get-on-make-money-get-rich-like-a-millionaire-books”.
