The Habit Code

1. Find out WHY it's not working


Would you like to find out why following someone else’s plan never works?
You buy a course, read a book, watch a DVD.
It shows you a plan that someone followed to become successful. They finally
had a breakthrough of their cycle of procrastination, and now (through their plan)
they have more money, a better way of life, fast cars, beautiful women. They have
improved in some way and now they’re trying to teach that method to you.
You’ll know from experience though, that following the plan of someone else
does not normally work.
Why is this?

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.

2. The missing piece of the Secret

With the onset of the Great Depression Napoleon Hill decided.


Having read all of Napoleon Hill’s books, his magazines and other peoples
ideas on the Principles Of Success within Think and Grow Rich, I’ve finally come to
a conclusion of what Hill is was so eloquently saying.
There are two major principles within Think And Grow Rich that stand out far
and above anything else mentioned.
In fact, if you read between the lines, and sometimes between the books
(i.e. read some of Hill’s earlier and later works) Hill leaves some clues to what the
Key parts of his philosophy are.
Now, Hill states that it is better if you discover the secret yourself, and I
believe that to be true. I’ve seen so many different answers to the Carniegie secret
that what’s important is that you try to find it for yourself. You get such an
emotional boost when you discover it for yourself that it can be the motivator to
change your life from that moment on.
If on the other hand you’ve read Think and Grow Rich several times and still
seem to miss the point then continue to the end of this post.
Before you do though, think about this. Even though Napoleon Hill
interviewed 500 of the worlds richest people, and also thousands of others who
were not rich, it took him many years to distill down the formula of what it is that
makes someone a success. He also DID NOT practice what he preached. He did
leave a few clues about the REAL motivating factors that cause people to succeed.
He left some clues to it in his many books. What bugs me is that he didn’t
bring these to the attention of people. Sorry, I should state that He DID bring these
to people’s attention, but they were only passing references to the one true thing
that I feel allows people to become successful, and to why only a tiny percent of
people ever discover it.
Now if you want my explanation of Napoleon Hill’s ‘Secret’ Then Read "THE
CARNEGIE SECRET."

3. The Carnegie Secret


Ok, So you are here to discover the Andrew Carnegie Secret the Famous
Industrialist Andrew Carnegie told to Napoleon Hill in their Interview at Carnegie’s
house in 1908.

Napoleon Hill States that it is better to discover the secret for


yourself. If you have read the book a few times and still can’t find the answers
then read on!
Note that this is only my personal interpretation, but it is based on a four
year study of Napoleon Hill’s writings.
Napoleon Hill was a young newspaper reporter, sent on an assignment to
interview Andrew Carnegie, who was the richest person in the world at the time.
Although those that know what was actually said in the interview are no
longer with us, from reading Napoleon Hill’s Work you get some of the clues to the
philosophy, and to what parts are the keystones to the whole philosophy.

Here are just some of the clues.


1: In Think and Grow Rich – “The Master Mind principle, or rather the
economic feature of it, was first called to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, over
twenty-five years ago. Discovery of this principle was responsible for the choice of
my life’s work.“
2: Throughout Think And Grow Rich – The stories that Hill uses contain
obvious use of The Master Mind Principle.

* Andrew Carnegie and his staff of 50 men. Experts in their own field.
* Napoleon Hill and his Son learning to hear again. (remember a mastermind
can be achieved with just 2 minds)
* The Signing Of The Declaration Of Independence.
* Henry Ford and his masterly use of a master mind to supply him
specialized knowledge.
* The formation of United States Steel Corporation by Charles M. Schwab.
* The Story Of Gandhi.
* Napoleon Hill’s Imaginary Master Mind in the chapter on the sixth sense.
——
“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.

Do you think he was emotionally charged?


Absolutely! With anger, admittedly, but he was probably boiling up this
emotion for an hour or more.
When he eventually reaches the town of Lumber port, sodden, muddy and
exhausted, he bumps into the cashier of the Lumber port Bank and strikes up a
conversation as to why the line has not been built…
To cut a long story short Napoleon Hill gets so het up about the fact that the
trolley line does not come all the way into the town of Lumber port that he finds out
the reasons why there is no line into town.
He then sets his Definite Major Purpose there and then – To get the streetcar
line built. This would be no mean task – because the cost of building the line and
bridge was un-economical. Or so it seemed.
Now, did Napoleon Hill go to his hotel and use Autosuggestion to get his
subconscious mind working. NO!. (His subconscious was already on the case
because he was already EMOTIONAL about the cause)…
He made plans there and then and within 24 hours had got together a
MASTER MIND of the towns People, The Mayor, The Divisional Superintendent of
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company.
After meetings with all concerned he Convinced the three main parties
involved that it was in their interests to get the line built (again USING The MASTER
MIND Principle).
Within 3 weeks the contracts were signed. Within Two Months construction
had begun, and three months after that, the first streetcars were running into
Lumber port. Amazing.

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.

4. Napoleon Hill states success is a Habit


Reading through one of Napoleon Hill’s books “How To Raise Your Own
Salary” I come to a chapter about Learning From Defeat.
The Book is a breakdown of what was said between Hill and Carnegie during
their meetings in 1908. In my search for confirming the link between Personal
development, success and habit I am trying to link up as many connections as I can
and here, in this book is one great big humdinger of a connection.
I quote…
Napoleon Hill: “From what you say about habits, I reach the conclusion that
Success is a habit”
Andrew Carnegie: “Now you are getting the idea! Of course success is a
habit.”

5. Empathic Hypnosis : A theory behind the MASTER Mind


method
…when you start a conversation with someone, and then deep down,
something inside you just clicks. Without a word being uttered the person you’re
talking too feels it too. A strange Primeval “deep in the soul” kind of feeling when
your mind ‘connects’ with another person’s.
They somehow know what you’re about to say. Your thought paths converge.
You’re both completely absorbed in the conversation. A feeling of confidence
washes over you and time no longer exists. In this absorbed state of mind hours
will pass you by as quickly as they ever have. I suppose for want of a better term,
you could call it Empathic Hypnosis, as you are both taken into a trance like state.
This “Empathic Hypnosis” is what is behind the power of Napoleon Hill’s
Master Mind Theory. Producing this ‘connection’ between two people is hard
enough, but when you add in more minds to form a group of three or more, the
fine balancing act between the minds in the group gets harder, logarithmically it
seems.
Let’s first get back to this Empathic Hypnosis theory and try and work out
what it actually is.

6. What is Cosmic HabitForce?


Cosmic Habit force. What is it really?
Napoleon Hill describes it so:“Cosmic Habitforce is the greatest of all natural
laws. It is Nature’s comptroller through which all other natural laws are
coordinated.”
However you think the universe was created, you cannot deny the underlying
march of time and the precise way that all things within the universe seem
connected. The creation of stars, galaxies, planets and ultimately life seems to be
on automatic pilot. Whether you believe in a God or not you cannot deny the sheer
beauty of the way the laws of nature work and how they all seem to mesh
perfectly, stopping for nobody.
Nothing is needed to keep the universe on it’s course, it does so without a
care, as if it was a clock so perfectly balanced, that it needed the mere first winding
to set it on it’s way.
As nature set it’s physical laws it also set it’s biological ones, the absolute
continuation of life and how it evolves to match any change in it’s surroundings,
again, automatically, and without any external help. Habit is a necessity of life, and
habitation seems to be a mechanism where the changes in an environment for a
species causes a habit to form. This habit formation causes brain patterns to be
hard wired, and this in turn causes habits to become hereditary. The passing of one
habit to the next generation can help the next generation to survive, it allows for
changes in evolution.
Cosmic Habitforce is the law that fixes habits. It is the conductor that keeps
the universe in time but changing all the time, making sure that everything
evolves, that night follows day, that oaks will come of acorns, that life will evolve
and thrive to it’s natural environment.
