Why I’m Thankful for Napoleon Hill
As I went through my mental list of what I’m thankful for this year, I covered the basics: family, friends, health, relative prosperity, living in a free country. But going a little deeper, I realized that without Napoleon Hill, my life would be considerably different.
Obviously I’ve met a number of extraordinary people through my association with the Napoleon Hill Foundation and especially the World Learning Center.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Judy Williamson and several certified instructors on nearly two dozen books and multimedia projects.
Most importantly, I’ve been introduced to the Philosophy of Success and studied it in depth as a certified instructor. It’s unquestionable that Napoleon Hill’s 17 Principles have changed my life.
I’m thankful for Napoleon Hill because his work has guided me to develop into the person I am today.
Giving Thanks and Giving Back
While it’s important to express gratitude in words, a more powerful expression is deeds. Think of the principles of Applied Faith, Personal Initiative, Going the Extra Mile … thoughts, intentions, and words must be put into action.
One of the ways I’ve applied the success philosophy is helping others master the principle of Budgeting Time and Money. For six years now I’ve been publishing The Better Dayplanner™, a daily calendar for people who make the most of their time — meaning we need the space to plan for more than just an 8-to-5 schedule. Instead, the Better Dayplanner begins at 5 AM and extends to 10 PM. I’ve yet to find another tool as flexible as this.
As part of giving thanks and giving back, this year I’ve again partnered with the Foundation to not only offer a discount to Napoleon Hill followers, but also donate a substantial share of the sales to assist with the Foundation’s mission to make the world a better place to live.
From now through “Cyber Monday” you can be part of this win-win offer. You’ll get a tool to increase your success throughout 2017 and at the same time support the charitable work of the Napoleon Hill Foundation.
So … What Is This Better Dayplanner?
I designed the Better Dayplanner to fit my long days – 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM – with ample space for notes. I included two pages for planning the month and two more at the end for marking achievements, follow-ups, and other notes. (One page is graph paper because I sometimes like to sketch things to scale. And I think it looks cool too.)
I start the work week at Monday, which puts the weekend days together on the right side of the planner. Let’s face it, we often plan something for “sometime over the weekend,” and those Saturdays and Sundays can blur together. With the Better Dayplanner laid out this way, I can plan my weekends more loosely and keep the Monday through Friday week more focused.
I listed the major holidays but skipped the cute features like moon phase and birthstones.
But I did use some space for inspiration … the kind that is meaningful to success-minded people. Each week has a quote from an entrepreneur or other legendary success story. We can always use some motivation, and I’ve tried to choose many quotes with a sense of humor to lighten things up on bad days.
Plenty of Space for All Your Planning
In the very first week you use your Better Dayplanner, you’ll see why it’s so much easier to use.
For one thing, I used a full 8-1/2 by 11 inch, letter-sized layout, so you can actually write at a reasonable size. There is room for everything you do before, during, and after the “normal” workday. There is space for notes, but not page after page of blanks. I also spiral-bound the book so it will easily lay flat – and also can’t lose pages like a three-ring binder could.
With an understated, brown cover* and minimal text, you won’t feel like your planner stands out and draws attention, but you also won’t feel self-conscious that’s it’s not a super-premium leatherbound planner carried more for show than actual work.
* Now available: 15 Fashion Covers for those who prefer a bit more flair.
