Well, personally, I think it’s because the person teaching you the new
method should teach you what they have done from BIRTH! See, for someone to be
in the same state of mind when following the course, you need to have all the
experiences as the teacher.
This is not a recipe to bake a cake! you are trying to get someone to change
their HABITS and that, I’m afraid, comes under the influence of your sub-conscious
mind.
As soon as you realize that Personal Development comes from your change
of habits, and this is controlled DIRECTLY from your sub-conscious, you will have
the foundation to do anything you wish.
Convincing your sub-conscious mind is the key, and the habit code will show
you the 7 methods of controlling your subconscious mind.

“Analyze the record of any man who has accumulated a great fortune, and
many of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and you will find that they
have either consciously, or unconsciously, employed the ‘master mind’ principle.”

3. In Law Of Success – “In This introduction you will find a description of a
newly discovered law of psychology that is the very foundation stone of all
outstanding personal achievements. I refer to this as the Master Mind”
——
” Many a man who never knows the real source of his success, is made by his
wife, through application of the Master Mind.”

“It is believed by many scientists…that the law of the master mind is the
basis of practically all of the more important achievements resulting from group or
cooperative effort”

“Nearly twenty years ago I interviewed Mr. Carnegie for the purpose of
writing a story about him. During the interview I asked him to what he attributed
his success. With a merry little twinkle in his eyes he said:
- “Young man, before I answer your question will you please define
your term ‘success’?”
After waiting until he saw that I was somewhat embarrassed by his request
he continued:
“By success you have reference to my money, have you not?”
I assured him that money was the term by which most people measured
success, and he then said:
- “Oh, well – if you wish to know how I got my money – if that is what
you call success – I will answer your question by saying that we have a master
mind here in our business, and that mind is made up of more than a score of men
who constitute my personal staff of superintendents and managers and accountants
and chemists and other necessary types.
No one person in this group is the master mind of which I speak, but the sum
total of the minds in the group, co-ordinated, organized and directed to a definite
end in a spirit of harmonious co-operation is the power that got my money for me.
No two minds in the group are exactly alike, but each man in the group does the
thing that he is supposed to do and he does it better than any other person in the
world could do it.”
Then and there the seed out of which this course has been developed was
sown in my mind, but that seed did not take root or germinate until later. This
interview marked the beginning of years of research which led, finally, to the
discovery of the principle of psychology described in the Introductory Lesson as the
Master Mind.
I heard all that Mr. Carnegie said, but it took the knowledge gained from
many years of subsequent contact with the business world to enable me to
assimilate that which he said and clearly grasp and understand the principle back of
it, which was nothing more nor less than the principle of organized effort upon
which this course on the Law of Success is founded.
Carnegie’s group of men constituted a Master Mind and that mind was so well
organized, so well co-ordinated, so powerful, that it could have accumulated
millions of dollars for Mr. Carnegie in practically any sort of endeavor of a
commercial or industrial nature. The steel business in which that mind was engaged
was but an incident in connection with the accumulation of the Carnegie wealth.
The same wealth could have been accumulated had the Master Mind been
directed in the coal business or the banking business or the grocery business, for
the reason that back of the mind was power – that sort of power which you may
have when you shall have organized the faculties of your own mind and allied
yourself with other well organized minds for the attainment of a definite chief aim in
life.”

Within Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill states that there are TWO parts to
the secret. Well, my understanding on that is that you must have a Definite Cheif
Aim. This DOES NOT need to be your final life’s goal. It just needs to be a normal
goal. The big secret is that you must get emotionally attached to it.
“Big Deal” – I hear you say.
This is where I think most people fall down on the whole Think and Grow Rich
formula. You must get emotional about your goal.
Now, I’m not talking about getting a bit excited. I’m not talking about urging,
or wishing, shouting, screaming or even jumping up and down emotional. I mean
you have to get emotional “as if someone had tied a concrete ball around your neck
and thrown you into the Fishermans Wharf” emotional.
On a scale of 1 – 10 (10 being drowning) The closer you are to a 10 the
better. It depends on your DESIRE. How much you want something. A 1 is when
your just wishing for something, because it might be nice to have. A 10 is when
your life depends on it.
When you think about it…when you really think about the Secret in Think and
Grow Rich, it is all about your subconscious. Well , not just yours, but the
subconscious of your Master Mind group too.
The reason you need to get emotional is this – ONLY Emotionalized thoughts
have any ACTION influence upon the subconscious mind. The more Emotion you
can mix with a thought, the more your subconscious will take action on that
thought.
This can be achieved SLOWLY using the principle of AUTOSUGGESTION Or it
can happen quickly such as when having a breakdown, crisis, accident or even
when being super emotionally charged.
A Perfect Example - For an example that shows the secret in all it’s glory I
refer back to a story that Napoleon Hill tells in Law Of Success. It starts with
Napoleon Hill making a trip to Lumberport, West Virginia.
At the time of his visit the interurban electric train line did not make it all the
way to Lumberport, but stopped three miles away.
The remainder of the distance had to be covered by foot. Unfortunately that
afternoon the rains came down and Napoleon Hill had a dreadful long trudge
through deep yellow mud, to get to his destination.
Now imagine if you will the emotion and the state of mind as Nap Hill
dragged himself three miles through the pouring rain, and mud.
So, in conclusion the major parts of the Carnegie Secret are as follows:
1. Convincing YOUR Subconscious Mind Of a Goal or Definite Chief Aim.
2. Convincing The Subconscious Mind of your MASTER MIND group to
accomplish your goal.
ALL Other parts of the philosophy are to reinforce these two ideas and act as
a feedback system.
