In the last week I’ve been re-reading Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich”. It’s a book I’ve read several times already.  I’ve set myself to re-read it at least once every year because it contains a proven system of how to grow a successful business.  It’s really the entrepreneur’s bible and it’s been quoted by so many major business leaders.

Here is an outline of the 4 Critical Keys to Accelerating Growth and Success, from Napoleon Hill’s system for success – as I understand it:

1. A Clear Goal and a Plan:  The biggest reason why people succeed in anything is that they have a clear goal in mind. They also break down the goal into doable steps. Then they TAKE ACTION towards their goal.

2. A Coach: Once you have a roadmap, a coach can guide you along the way, helping you avoid mistakes and remove doubts, questions and uncertainties that are going to come up.

3. A Trusted Peer Group:  I’ve realized that if you want to be successful in ANYTHING in your life, the smartest thing you can do to fast track your own achievement is to find someone else who is already getting the results you want, and copy what they do. That’s why a peer group is SO important. They can dramatically shorten your learning curve and save you enormous amounts of pain and aggravation by learning from their mistakes and their successes.

4. Accountability: The best ideas are useless if not acted upon. Having a system to hold you accountable stops procrastination on critical decisions and actions you KNOW you need to take, but just won’t do it unless you have someone holding your feet to the fire.  At MON we have a weekly accountability meeting.

I’d be really interested to know what business and leadership books have made an impact on you.
