Let Others Help You Achieve Success by Napoleon Hill

Success will come more quickly and surely if you learn how to make use of the education, experience, ability and influence of others.

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker thinks his greatest personal asset is his “ability to get other people to lend me the use of their brains in a friendly spirit of cooperation.”

“If I exchange the dollar I have for the dollar you have, we both end up no better off than when we started. But, if I exchange an idea for the idea you have, then we both end up twice as rich as we were. And teamwork is the means of multiplying our spiritual wealth to infinity,” says Capt. Rickenbacker.

Remember that two or more persons, working closely in an alliance by which they complement and supplement each other’s abilities, can always achieve far more than one.

Thomas A. Edison’s greatness as an inventor resulted from his genius for organizing teams of individuals, each with far more knowledge in their specialties than he possessed, for a common goal.

The greatest achievements of our free enterprise system come from group—rather than individual—enterprise. But the group will always require a leader. In seeking the help of others, you must be prepared to make an even trade. You can’t come empty-handed.

Lloyd Weeks of Salem, Ill., is a mechanical engineer who conceived a unique idea for constructing oil tanks. But the idea would take money to put into development. Dr. Everett O. Hancock, a neighbor, didn’t have Weeks’ engineering know-how—but he had some money, saved from his practice as a dentist.

Each contributed his resources into a business alliance that is netting them $5,000 profit each month.

It is absolutely essential that all members of an alliance share in its benefits. Otherwise the team will soon fall apart.

One evening Henry Ford was walking through his plant and stopped to talk with a floor sweeper.

“Like your job?” Ford asked.

“Yep,” the janitor said, “But I’d like it better if you sold these metal filings, instead of throwing them away, and gave me part of the money.”

Ford put the idea into operation the next day. It saved the Ford Company a worthwhile sum and gave a promotion to the janitor.

J. Edgar Hoover’s success as the greatest crime-fighter in history relies entirely upon his ability to fuse the abilities and knowledge of hundreds into a hard-hitting closely coordinated team.

What do you need to achieve success? Who has it? What can you offer in return? Maybe it’s exactly what someone else is seeking.

If so, you can pool your resources and make the fight for success much easier.

BREAKING NEWS: ViSalus Founders Lead Management Buyout

Company to Revert to Private Ownership in $143 Million Transaction

ViSalus, Inc, the weight-loss and fitness company known for its mission of Challenging the World… 10 lbs. at a time through the PROJECT 10^™ Challenge, a personal health and lifestyle transformation platform, announced today that its Co-Founders and key stockholders have reached an agreement in principle to complete a transaction with Blyth, Inc.

I have seen all three of the founders grow into fine young men and executives, who are poised to lead ViSalus to the next level of success.”

Reynolds added, “I see this transaction as a way for us to elevate the entrepreneurial spirit ViSalus originally began with.  I am excited about where we stand as a company and in furthering our global expansion.  I know I am able to count on Ryan, Nick and Blake to continue to lead ViSalus to further success.  Today is a great day in the history of ViSalus.”

What Does Money Say About YOUR Character?

What Does Money Say About YOUR Character? 

Money is either a good or bad influence, according to the character of the person who possesses it.

It’s true.  A man’s true character is shown in one of two ways.  When an individual is at the top of their mountain with plenty of money and accolades or when they are broke and at the bottom of the mountain.

Money has no character, no personality, no values. Its actions only reflect the desires of its owner. Money is able to be used to build great hospitals and schools, or it is able to be gambled away or squandered on meaningless possessions. Money may build museums to house beautiful works of art, it may construct beautiful houses of worship — or it may be used to create instruments of war and destruction.

As you build your personal wealth, make sure you build your character by setting aside a portion of your income to help others. Choose a church, a charity, or a cause that you can enthusiastically support. Then give of your money and your time in support of the cause. The primary beneficiary of such noble actions is always the one who gives, instead of the one who receives.

Are YOU Complaining About YOUR Job?

Are YOU Complaining About YOUR Job?

Instead of complaining about what you don’t like about your job, start commending what you do like and see how quickly it improves.

It’s easy to find fault with any job. Whatever your occupation or profession, there are always some unpleasant and mundane tasks you would rather omit. It is also easy to allow the things you dislike to dominate your thoughts and for you to overlook the fact that the things you dislike about your work are really a very small percentage of the overall job. Make it a point to find something good in your job every day. It need not be a big, important event; simply finding joy in doing one thing particularly well will suffice. Then, instead of looking forward to the end of the day, you will find yourself actually looking forward to going to work.

An Essential Ingredient for Success: Teamwork

An Essential Ingredient for Success: Teamwork by: Napoleon Hill

People can live without the friendly cooperation of others, and many of them do. But they cannot avail themselves of the greater benefits of civilization or gain the peace of mind that is enjoyed by those who ally themselves with others in a spirit of friendly teamwork.

Everywhere and in everything friendly team work is a fundamental principle of growth and power. Nature is our authority for the soundness of this principle. Our body, for example, is one of nature’s most remarkable demonstrations of the power and value of teamwork.

The body consists of countless billions of cells, each of which serves a definite purpose in connection with the growth and maintenance of the whole. These cells are organized into groups known as organs, such as the heart, lungs, liver, brain, spinal cord, alimentary canal, veins and nerves. Each organ has its specific work to do. When one fails, the entire pattern is disrupted and some form of physical disorder follows.

Teamwork also plays an essential part in music. Harmony of voices in a choir, the blended tones of many musical instruments in an orchestra or band, are achieved through practiced coordination of effort: teamwork.

A successful play can be produced only by careful cooperation of the players, the director, the stage hands and everyone connected with the project.

The game of bridge provides another excellent example of the value of teamwork. And it is the absolute rule in the great American games of football, baseball and basketball.

Throughout life every great victory is supported by some kind of friendly teamwork. Sometimes the wearer of the crown of success owes their victory to the unselfish teamwork of their spouse; sometimes to an efficient secretary or business partner, or to a group of loyal associate workers who help him to carry out his plans. It is a mark of great wisdom when any man displays skill in winning the friendly cooperation of his associates.

It was this kind of wisdom which was displayed by Copernicus in astronomy, Columbus in navigation, Plato in philosophy, Edison in invention, Beethoven in music, Michelangelo in art, Marconi in wireless communication, and the Wright Brothers in aeronautics. Each of these men used the minds and knowledge of others to discover and produce the benefits which their labors bestowed upon the world. They were cooperators all!

And there is no record of any individual having made a truly great contribution to civilization without the cooperation of others—cooperation of a retroactive nature which extended both to the discovery of the source of the contribution and the medium by which it was made available to the world.
