Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in Virginia, USA. His early career was as a newspaper reporter during which time he met and interviewed the wealthy entrepreneur Andrew Carnegie who issued him with a challenge. Andrew Carnegie (the richest man in the world at the time) commissioned Hill to interview 500 extremely successful men and, from the experience, distil the secret of success into a simple workable formula.
He accepted the challenge and the resulting book - Think and Grow Rich - took him 20 years to produce. This book has sold more than thirty million copies world-wide and been responsible for creating more millionaires than any other philosophy of achievement. In Will Edwards' book Napoleon Hill's Awesome Secret, his 'secret' for creating wealth is outlined in a simple 7-step formula that anyone can apply to create abundance.
