Episode 72 - Outwitting the Devil

Outwitting the Devil

            You know by now that I am a big believer in ALWAYS listening to and reading books.  I seem to always have 2 or 3 that I am working on.

            Someone made a recommendation to me a few weeks ago and strongly encouraged me to get a new audio book – Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill.  So I did.  And I will have to say, I found it to be one of the most inspiring and impactful audio books I have ever listened to!

            Napoleon Hill is the author of Think and Grow Rich, the preeminent self development book ever written.  He wrote both of these books back in the 1930’s but their message is as relevant today as any that have been written more recently.   

Here’s Your Net Worth Tip of the Day

            Buy the audiobook version of Outwitting the Devil.  I am sure it is just as good in hard copy form, but the audio version makes the story truly come alive.

            The premise of the book is that Napoleon Hill finds the secret key to getting the Devil to share all of his nasty tricks in an interview – so he does just that – interviews the Devil to pull from him all of his trickery, deceit and lies.

            As you listen to the interview, ask yourself, “am I prone to DRIFTING” as the Devil calls the primary thing that we humans do that make us susceptible to his schemes.

            Get this audiobook.  Listen to it at least 2 times right away.  Then make a list of the 5 people you love most who should also listen to this book.

            Don’t procrastinate on this one!   (Oh, by the way, procrastination is the work of the Devil according to Napoleon Hill – it’s what people do when they are “drifters”).

Don’t be a Drifter!
