Transcripts
hey this is Russell Brunson I'm here
right now inside of the Napoleon Hill
Foundation after hours they gave me the
key to come here and look through all of
the manuscripts the books a whole bunch
of unpublished things nobody's ever seen
before and I found some goal I want to
share with you guys today in fact I'm
going to share with you guys 30 ways to
overcome failure because if you failing
any area of your life could be a
relationship could be business could be
your health I'm going to show you guys
how to overcome it from some secret
stuff I learned from my man Napoleon
Hill right now in an unpublished book
called The Wheel of Fortune so hope you
enjoy this video to show you how to
overcome all failures
[Music]
the first thing I want to show you guys
for those who don't know Napoleon Hill
he's written a lot of books a lot of
manuscripts he's my favorite author the
most popular book he wrote is called
thinking girl Rich he also wrote out
witing the devil which is my personal
favorite book but this copy of thinking
gr Rich I'm going to show you guys
something really cool he wrote this to a
girl he met he's one of his students in
one of his classes he was teaching name
was Annie L Norman and it said with the
author's best wishes and in recognition
of her loyalty initiative ability and
sincerity Napo Hill 1941 but then 2
years later he actually married her and
then he resigned it again said now she
has the book and the author 1943 for
which he is grateful in the PO Hill so
he wrote this uh signed it for initially
when they were dating and then again
after they became married so this copy
of thinking Gage is cool and the reason
I'm actually at the foundation right now
is we're putting together a challenge
called The Thinking Gage challenge I'm
trying to find all the best stuff he
ever taught in fact we found a bunch of
like videos and Theo Hill actually
teaching this stuff so during the
challenge people have a chance to watch
the video footage of Theo Hill actually
teaching these principles which is cool
but anyway what I want to talk to you
today is about one of the manuscripts I
found it is so cool one of the things
you're going to love in here so this
this is a two book series that he wrote
that never got published the first one
is called hand of Destiny if you're a
member of Secrets of success I actually
have the rights to republish this one so
a lot of you guys actually own a copy of
the hand of Destiny which is a really
great book that he wrote that's never
been published until recently but I
found the second book here that I'd
never heard of it's called Wheel of
Fortune and this is another unpublished
Napoleon Hill manuscript and so today I
read about 75 maybe 80% of it I sat here
and I read it and got so many good ideas
and some so many things I want to share
with you in fact the one that's most
important which is I started this video
talking about he's calling this thing
the whe of Fortune so again this is not
something he wrote you know 20 years ago
this was before the TV show will of
Fortune was ever on this was his thought
he kept thinking about like success in
life how it's like a will in fact on the
title page here there's a quote there's
a will on which the Affairs of men
revolve and its mechanism is such that
it prevents any man from being always
fortunate I read that I was like that's
so fascinating cuz we're always striving
for success and achievement right and
then as soon as we seem to get it then
it goes away again and then we get it
again it goes away and it's like he said
this Wheel of Fortune he's coming and
going and coming and going and so his
whole book is talking about that part of
it's telling his story of the ups and
the Downs of his own life but then also
all the people he interviewed he got
commissioned by Andrew Carnegie who at
the time was the richest man in the
world to go and spend 20 years writing
the first ever philosophy on Personal
Achievement and he went out there and
did that and then from there he wrote
The Laws of Success this is actually the
original copy of the manuscript of
lesson one of Laws of Success which I
found here in the archives if you open
it I don't want to break this things
from like early 1920s 1927 but this is
like the actual manuscript
from the book set it's insane I don't
want to bend the pages cuz this is
something you could easily sell right
now for a quar million dollars online so
I don't want to ruin it it's very
precious but anyway kind of a cool
artifact I found here as I was going
through things so he wrote These Laws of
Success basically there were 17 Laws of
Success later he shrunk him down into a
book called Think and Grow which was
specifically for entrepreneurs he wrote
another one called how to raise your own
salary which is for people who had jobs
who wanted to raise their salaries and
he's Rewritten the book multiple
different times in different ways all
coming back the same principles of
success again he's my favorite author
and in this book will fortun there are a
bunch of really cool things that I got
from here that I think would be really
valuable for you guys today so I took
notes on where they were the first one
here is on page 25 and in this he's
having this conversation with Andrew
Carnegie again who's the richest man in
the world at the time Andrew carneg is
about to give him this commission to go
right 20 years of his life studying
achievement and success and trying to
figure out all these different things
and Carnegie says this quote that I read
today I was like this is the cool thing
and this is one of the keys to being
successful to keeping yourself out of
that Loop of success and failure success
and failure so Carnegie said life is
just one continuous series of opening
and closing of doors and if we make life
a success we become proficient in both
the closing and the opening of doors the
successful person firmly and definitely
closes behind him the doors to every
person every thought every experience
which causes him annoyance or failure
the unsuccessful person leaves open
behind him the doors to every experience
he's had and every person who has
damaged him with the result that he
makes the same mistake over and over and
over again and permits the same enemy to
sneak in by the open door and defeat him
at will so my thought for you is like
think about this like if something bad
happens it could be a bad relationship
could be bad person person it could be a
bad thought it keeps entering your mind
right say successful people are good at
shutting those doors and keeping those
things away or unsuccessful keep them
open so they keep kind of lingering in
and keep coming in cuz some areas of my
life I'm really good at like nope
shutting the doors in other areas I
leave the door open I'm curious for you
like what is it you know what are the
ones that you struggle with you keep
that door open when you know you should
be shutting it then he goes on and talks
a little bit more about this he says
successful people do two things they do
them definitely and immediately when the
need Rises they close behind the the
doors of all negative people and
influence including the Stray negative
thoughts which slip into one's mind
Uninvited and they fasten the doors
tightly so they are free to turn their
attention ahead of them where they have
free hand to open the doors of
opportunity as they come to them you see
the successful person must be a good
door closer as well as a good door
opener the failure either leaves all the
doors open behind him or an extreme
cases of Habitual failure he actually
stands with his foot in the opening so
not even a chance or luck can close the
door behind him of course he cannot open
the door of opportunity because he's too
busy holding the door failure through
which he has just passed oh it's so
fascinating so I thinking about this
like I want to get off this Wheel of
Fortune that keeps happening right we
have to be good at closing doors behind
us our negative thoughts negative people
negative emotions and it's hard right
sometimes especially hard when it's like
people you love or people you care about
having guys have someone in your life
who is the negative force keeps pulling
you back down right someone you love
some you care about it's like how do we
close those doors those negative
thoughts aren't holding us back as long
as that negative doors open people can
slip in ideas can slip in and it keeps
you from moving forward I love the
analogy where he's like you got a foot
you holding the door open you can't
reach for the opportunity to open the
new door because you're so focused on
keeping keep the other door closed a lot
of people talk about you let the dead
bury this dead Yesterday's Gone Forever
sler today burn your Bridges behind you
and turn towards the future like those
are the things he's talking about to get
us out of it so that's my first kind of
big nugget I got from here as I was
reading for all of you guys for me
specifically was just okay think about
the things that are holding back I need
to close those doors and close those
doors all I got some more cool stuff but
before we do you guys want to see some
more cool Napoleon Hill things okay
right here this is actually Napoleon
Hills pen if you ever look at like when
Nao Hill signed most books it was in
green ink and this is the actual pen
that he would use he carried with him to
sign all of the books and stuff so this
is his actual pen which is kind of cool
another cool artifact I found here at
the foundation was in P Hills glasses if
you've ever seen pictures of him these
are the glasses he wore everywhere
what's crazy about it is look how small
these things are he his head is like
onethird the size of mine like my head
is huge and one other cool napole hill
artifact I found if you don't know
napole Hill one of his Laws of Success
is the Golden Rule which is doing to
others as you would have them doing to
you right and what's crazy is almost
every religion has a version of The
Golden Rule and back then in the early
1900s everyone was talking about the
golden rule for some reason nowadays we
don't talk about it we don't discuss it
no one ever mentions it it feels like
yet for them it was such a big thing in
fact before he wrote Law's success he
launched a magazine called Hills Golden
Rule he would published it for a year
and8 months I happen to have every
single copy of the magazine cuz I'm kind
of a nerd but anyway he was obsessed
with the golden rule it's one of his
Laws of Success went over and over and
over again and the other thing I found
is this Golden Ruler how cool is this
it's the golden rule is really really
heavy and has his initials NH Napoleon
Hill So Not only was he obsessed with
the golden rule he had his own Golden
Rule that he had to keep him on the
straight and narrows so I thought that
was kind of cool so all of us we got to
remember the Golden Rule remember to do
one to others as you would have them do
to you cuz that solves almost all of the
problems which is really fascinating
okay page 29 he's talking about again
one of his favorite laws my personal
favorite law that napole Hill talks
about is called definite of purpose
which means you know exactly the thing
you want right like I want to win a two
comic Bo I want to get healthy I want to
win a State title I want like we know
exactly what it is right we're very
specific and so he talks about that a
lot and here he says a really cool quote
he says men who know exactly what they
want and are determined to get it see to
tune into some Supernatural power not
available to those who drift with time
and with circumstances because when you
pick that thing here's the definite
purpose I want he's like everything else
Falls away it becomes a supernatural
power your brain starts figing how can I
get that thing how can I get that thing
it's fascinating when I meet people the
first time they ask me how to be
successful and the first things ask like
what do you want and most people don't
know they're like a I just I want to be
more successful I want to make some more
money I'm like no it's a purpose it's
not a definite purpose like what is the
thing you actually want like all the
things in my life that I had success
with cuz I knew exactly what it was
right I want to be a state champion like
it was definite purpose I knew exactly
when it was not only what it was but
when it was I want to be a state
champion by the time my junior year in
high school boom I hit it right when I
got in business I want to make a million
dollar in a year took me a couple years
and I hit it I was like I want to make
10 million a year then I hit it I want
to make 100 million a year I hit it
right but it all came back to like
having a definite purpose and so it's
kind of a fascinating thing so you
talked about like when you have a
definite purpose says You seem to tune
into some Supernatural power not
available to those who drift with time
or circumstance I thought that was
really really cool okay the next thing I
want to sh you guys is this was Andrew
Carnegie who again was the richest man
in the world world of the time this was
his list as he was talking to P Hill he
had a list of the major causes of
failure I was reading through this I was
like oh my gosh if people understood
this and really started thinking about
like why they're not successful it
almost always ties to one of these
causes and I wanted to create this video
for those who were struggling with
anything right it could be business
could be Health could be relationships
we're struggling and we start
understanding like what are the causes
of failure and you start fortifying
yourself against those things that's
what helps you be more successful so I'm
going to go through this list with you
guys that was really cool so the very
first thing in the list causes failures
he calluses the habit of drifting with
circumstances without a definite aim
plan or purpose and we talked about that
right and Pa Hill talks about people who
are driven who have a definite purpose
versus people who drift and drifting is
just I think about like this he talks
about in Out the Devil calls hypnotic
rhythm where you're kind of in this like
drifting thing where you're just bumping
around you're not doing anything there's
no forward momentum in your life right
if you're failing life it's probably
because you don't have a you don't have
a direction you're going right that's
number one okay number two is unfavor
physical hereditary Foundation which no
man can control so that one's kind of
tough basic saying you you have
hereditary doesn't lie to be successful
so we can't do anything about number two
so we're not going to worry about that
one number three a lack of definite
major purpose as a life goal okay it
comes back to the opposite of drifting
which is actually having the definite
purpose number four inadequate schooling
in and out of school room right so
people who aren't learning enough a lot
of people have problems but they're not
trying to find the answers not reading
books listening to podcast like they're
just like I have this problem and they
kind of get stuck in this motion right
like if you want to have success in
something you have to get the education
I'm not talking about necessarily school
I'm not a huge fan of the school system
but becoming self self-educated finding
those things and getting the schooling
self-education right number five is lack
of self-discipline generally manifesting
yourself through excesses of eating
drinking sexual relationships and
indifference towards opportunities for
mental development so they don't have
self-discipline me so they're just doing
the things that give them pleasure
immediately as opposed to working
towards the things that give them
long-term fulfillment okay there's
always this this fight between pleasure
and fulfillment right where you get the
reward without the work when people just
look for the reward like what's the
quickest way for me get the reward
without actually putting in the work
that's when you don't feel fulfilled
that's when your life becomes a failure
it's that transition to fulfillment and
transition towards doing the actual work
to get yourself the reward which is kind
of fascinating number six lack of
ambition to aim above mediocrity in
choosing an occupation so just like I'm
just going to do whatever I do like
don't be mediocre and choosing your
profession number seven ill health
generally due to wrong thinking and
improper diet okay health is when we can
control 100% like we can we can control
what we put into our mouth right that's
a simple thing to do so ill health
number eight unfavorable environmental
influences during childhood that's a
hard one to overcome a lot of people are
raised in bad circumstance es bad areas
bad things and that's when we have to
figure how to get ourselves in a spot
where we can change our environment our
circumstances nine lack of persistence
in carrying through on finishing what
one begins a lot of people who start a
project but they're not good at
finishing a project starting a project
anyone can do that but unless you finish
it it doesn't actually matter so that's
number nine number 10 is negative
personality in which habits offensive to
others are developed a lot of times in
The Laws of Success the polio talks
about having a positive personality and
a pleasing personality where you can get
along with people this is talking about
the cause of failures having a negative
personality right you have to learn how
to communicate with other humans and
happy and have energy and excitement
right number 11 lack of understanding
and control through transmutation of the
emotion of sex I'm not going to go deep
into that one but obviously there's a
whole bunch of problems if you can't
control that part of your life number 12
is uncontrolled desire for something for
nothing usually expressed in dishonesty
and the habit of gambling the reward
without the work like gambling is all
about how do I shortcut things how do I
get the reward without actually doing
the work and so gambling is another one
that causes failure number 15 lack of
the habit of reaching decisions promptly
and firmly you can't make decisions
you're going to struggle in life right
we have to learn how to be able to say
okay two options which one looks and
take it right learning how to make
decisions is one most powerful things
you can do to keep you from failure a
lot of people sit in their life drifting
for so long because they're too scared
to make a decision and they never get
out of it and not making a decision is
always the worst of the decisions right
so you have two decisions but you always
actually have a third one which is doing
nothing a lot of people default to the
third okay let's keep going you guys
have good good time so far you learn
some cool Napoleon Hill stuff from an
unpublished manuscript this is insane
okay and this is stuff that Andrew
Carnegie literally taught to Napoleon
Hill which makes it just that much
cooler the richest man in the world's
like this is the reason why people fail
like what does he know that we don't
know like these are the things okay
number 14 one or more of the six basic
fears the six basic fears we have in
this focusing too much on fear of
poverty fear of criticism fear of ill
health fear of loss of Love fear of old
age fear of death number 15 wrong
selection of a mate in marriage I always
tell people you can only be as
successful as your spouse or significant
other will allow you to be so make sure
you're picking the right mate in
marriage the habit of being over
cautious in personal relationships so
it's negative to be over cautious so you
need to be willing to like go all in on
relationships and get to know people
even though it could be scary even
though there could be risk associated
don't be become over cautious personal
relationships number 17 is lack of all
form of caution so some caution is good
otherwise you're going to get some
failure number 18 wrong choices of
Association in business and social
relationships picking the wrong friends
right number 19 wrong selection of
vocation or total neglect to make a
choice it's not having a job you want
we're not picking at all number 20 lack
of concentration or effort we got Le how
to concentrate number 21 the habit of an
indiscriminate spending without a budget
control income and expender don't be
spending how much money you don't have
learn how to budget your money don't
spend more than you make this comes back
I always talk about like you need to
produce more than you consume if you
consuming more than you're producing
that's where the imbalance happens right
in health right like if you are
consuming more calories than you're
burning that's when you gain a lot of
weight right this is true in all areas
of life if you are consuming so spending
more money than you are producing and
you're making that's when you get into
debt people always ask me wrest how do
you get rich I'm like you have to learn
how to produce more than you consume
like what do you mean how much money do
it cost you to live like $2,000 a month
that's how much you're consuming so you
learn to produce enough value right if
you're only producing $22,000 a month of
value then you're only going make $2,000
a month you learn to produce $10,000 in
value a month and you're only consuming
2,000 that's when you start making
profit right you get the point where
you're producing $100,000 a month in
value or a million dollar a month in
value that's where you get rich right so
learn how to produce more you consume
which comes back to what this talked
about here 23 which is lack of controll
enthusiasm you got to be excited but be
controlled with it number 24 intolerance
a closed mind based particularly on
ignorance or Prejudice in connection
with religious political or economic
subjects so be tolerant of other people
not intolerant we got a few more you
guys number 25 inability to neglect or
cooperate with other others in a Spirit
of Harmony number 26 a possession of
power not acquired on Merit Rich men's
children for example so again if you
didn't earn it you're getting the reward
without the effort number 27 lack of the
spirit of loyalty based on intentional
dishonesty you got to be honest in all
your dealings number 28 egotism and
vanity are not under control number 29
the habit of forming opinions and
building plans based on guesswork
instead of organized facts and the last
one is lack of insufficient imagination
to recognize favorable opportunities and
then self-reliance to brace them if and
when they are recognized so if you are
struggling with failure is probably one
of those things I go back through that
listener look at what are the things I'm
struggling with like wow I am consuming
more than I'm producing wow I am not
having concentrated focused effort I
have no definite purpose I am drifting
like all those things are signs of the
things that are keeping you from the
thing you desire the most again it's all
here inside this book Wheel of Fortune
which is so cool like how do we get off
of this Wheel of Fortune that goes up
and down up and down okay I think I have
one last thing I want to share with you
guys maybe two so one of them is the
quote that Andrew Carnegie gave Napoleon
Hill as a definition of success I'm
always looking for this CU everyone has
their own definition of success for me
my definition is Success equals
achievement plus fulfillment I feel like
to be successful you to have these two
things like the thing that you're trying
to achieve and strive towards plus
fulfillment when you have both those
things that's when you're successful
Earl night's got a whole different
definition of success and this is the
one that Andrew Carnegie gave Napoleon
Hill which was cool he said success in
the broad sense of the word is the power
with which to acquire what everyone
wants in life without violating the
rights of others and remaining in good
terms with your own conscious so I
thought that was kind of a fascinating
thing a couple other cool things he
talked about this is another great
Napoleon Hill quote he got from Andrew
Carnegie he talked about failure right
we get these failures but he said if you
look at it he says every failure brings
with it the seed of an equivalent
Advantage so you have a failure that's
coming to you and it's like you get that
thing it also comes with the seed of
equivalent Advantage uh one of my
favorite stories about this for my life
12 13 years ago I had built a company we
had about 100 employees at the time it
was growing and it was like everything
was working well and literally almost
overnight everything collapsed like we
lost our Merchant accounts uh I had
employees walk out of me everything and
I went from having 100 employees to
shrinking down to about five and I had
to get on my lease I had to like it was
definitely the most dark and painful
time of my life I had friends who I
thought were my best friends who walked
out on me I had family members who
worked for me who literally walked out
on me like it was really weird like it
was a really hard time in my life my
biggest failure at the time and I
remember thinking like I'm a failure and
it took me 3 or 4 years to rebuild from
that failure but in the rebuilding I
shrunk down to five or six employees we
got this little tiny office we were
trying to figure things out during that
process is where when we're trying to
figure out what we're going to do with
our lives I bought a company that I
couldn't afford but I bought this little
company long story short I needed a
programmer who Ruby on Rails I didn't
have a Ruby on Rails developer I
couldn't find one I put an email out to
my list and I met Todd Dickerson who
became my partner in clickfunnels and
Todd started working with this and from
there from the seed that was planted
during that failure grew a company
that's now done over a billion dollars
in sales called clickfunnels it's just
fascinating so that quote is so powerful
for all of us like every failure brings
with the seed of an equivalent Advantage
so like when you're going through
failure and struggle it's like looking
like what's that seed I don't know what
it is yet but somewhere in there there's
coming a seed that if I plant it and if
I water and I nurture it it's going to
grow into something amazing okay and
it's always easier in hindsight to see
it but having faith in the moment of the
failure like okay I don't understand
this doesn't make any sense I believe
God's got a plan for me there's a seed
somewhere I'm going to keep planting
this and watering it hopefully it
sprouts into something amazing another
cool thing that Napoleon will talk about
he says success and failure often hinge
upon a person's interpretation of the
obstacles he encounters whether he
access them as a stumbling block or a
stepping stone a permanent failure or a
temporary defeat so when there's
failures come like the difference
between someone's successful and
someone's failur is well how you look at
those failures right is it a stumbling
block or is it a step to the next
opportunity which was such a cool
analogy as well he said anyone can quit
when the going becomes hard and that is
exactly what The Drifter without major
purpose or plan in life does but you are
no Drifter you have a definite goal
worthy of all the sacrifices and
struggle you can put into it all right I
got one last thing so again to come back
to the story I started with Napoleon
Hill when he was a young man went to
Andrew Carnegie the richest man in the
world and he had a 3-day interview he
interviewed for magazine and during
those three days Andrew carneg gave
Napoleon three principles and Napoleon
said at the end of the 3D said it was
the nucleus of what became the Laws of
Success okay and The Laws of Success
again is this is the the original
manuscript from it but the Laws of
Success was in fact I have the actual
manuscript for law of success right here
behind me I'm going to show it to you
guys real quick cuz this is one of the
coolest things in the world I do not own
this I wish I did I could sell this on
the market today for probably two and a
half to$ three million doar which is
crazy and this is the actual handtyped
book The Law of success so this is the
size of the book like this is insane so
Napoleon Hill interviews Andrew Carnegie
and then goes on a 20-year uh journey to
write this book set right and it's
insane and in here there are 16 laws of
succcess and throughout time NPO changed
it eventually uh he partnered with W CL
Stone they added a 17 law so depending
you might hear there's 16 law of success
there 17 but there times there were 15
but this is like the The Laws of Success
and when he finished with with Carnegie
he said Carnegie gave him three laws he
said this became nucleus for the entire
work that was his entire life for a lot
of success for thinking grage for all
these different things like this was the
nucleus of the information he got from
Andrew Carnegie so the three things the
first day he spent the entire day
teaching him about the Mastermind
Principle what's the Mastermind
Principle so you take two people in the
room put them together it creates a
third mind which is the Mastermind right
so if it's just you thinking or just
someone else put them together it
creates a third mind when now all the
ideas become better right and he talked
about Carnegie how he built the biggest
company on the planet at the time right
how he became the richest man in the
world he's he didn't know the answer to
all the questions but he got all the
people around him to build a mastermind
group and then they went and then from
that he raised the money he poured the
steel he did all the things to build
Carnegie still which became the biggest
company in the world right and theno
talked about also like the the power of
a mastermind even when you don't know
people like in thinking G there's a
chapter where he talks about he calls it
his invisible Council and some people
think it's kind of woo and weird but
he's like I couldn't afford to have a
mastermind group of people so he said I
thought about my favorite people like
Abraham Lincoln and uh Ralph Waldo
Emerson and all these different people
he looked up to his favorite authors who
had passed away and he thought about him
so he have he'd have an idea he sit
there he start thinking like what would
what would Lincoln say what would so and
so say and he'd read their books and
stuff and like from there ideas start
popping into his head right so even you
don't have a physical Mastermind you can
still like visualize people and and
these ideas will come into your head and
he talks about actually in The Wheel of
Fortune book so The Mastermind
principles the first thing the second
one was a principle of definite purpose
knowing exactly what you are and number
three is a principle of the habit of
profiting from your failures so looking
at your failures not as stumbling blocks
but as stepping stones right learning
how to actually do that and so those
became the three principles and uh he
gave those to Napoleon Hill and if you
read A's books those are some of the
Three core principles initially and then
from there Napoleon Hill went on his
journey where he went and interviewed
Henry Ford who built Ford Motor Company
he interviewed Thomas Edison he
interviewed all these different people
and from there kept learning from all
these different people start adding
these different Laws of Success and
principles to it but the beginning were
these three and still three of my
favorite The Mastermind principal the
principal of definite purpose and then
the principle of the habit of profiting
from your failure so if nothing else you
get from this learn those three things
right build a mastermind group choose a
definite purpose and then go through all
the things we talked about about how to
not fail like going through that list I
just went to earlier right these are all
the ways that people fail in life I go
through that list figure things out
figure how to not have those things
happen to you learn how to close the
doors behind you to the failures to the
negative thoughts so you can keep moving
forward and uh those are some of the
things I learned today as I was studying
this insanely cool manuscript for a book
that's unpublished no one knows in the
whole world called Wheel of Fortune by
Theo Hill I hope you enjoyed the summary
and got some cool ideas from it if you
did let me know your favorite thing was
it something from will of Fortune was it
the idea of closing the doors did you
like seeing Napoleon Hills Golden Ruler
was it the statue uh was it his cool pen
or the eyeglasses like what was your
favorite part about this let me know and
let me know if you enjoy videos like
this where I'm going deep into these
books and pulling out some of the cool
Concepts and ideas that I loved and if
so let me know and I'll I'll find some
more stuff again in this room alone
there's tens of millions of dollars
worth unpublished books and manuscripts
that I have a chance to go through right
now and it's a lot of fun so that thank
you guys so much for listening and
watching and uh tune in for the next
video where I tell you guys some more
cool stuff about this man Mr Napoleon
Hill
