Summary

Listen to episode 1052 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Master Mind | Napoleon Hill’s Keys to Success. Edited and adapted from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: POWER is essential for success in the accumulation of wealth—in any form. PLANS are inert and useless, without sufficient power to translate them into ACTION. Today I will describe the method by which any individual may attain and apply power.

Power maybe defined as "organized and intelligently directed KNOWLEDGE." Power, as the term is here used, refers to ORGANIZED effort, sufficient to enable an individual to transmute DESIRE into wealth (whatever that may be).
