Summary
The legendary Napoleon Hill reveals how you can be free, self-determining, and financially independent by going the extra mile. Which means doing more and better service than you’re paid to render, complemented by a pleasing and mental attitude. Most importantly, make yourself as indispensable as you possibly can.
Hill further highlights the law of increasing returns which substantially means that you get back more than you give up. Whatever you do to give out to others comes back to you and is greatly multiplied. When you render a service in good faith and provide better service than you’re paid to render, then it’s impossible for you not to get back more than you gave.
Ultimately, he affirms the quality and quantity of service together with a positive mental attitude will determine how far you’ll go in life and how much peace of mind you’ll have.
