Judith Williamson is the ideal author to take Napoleon Hill’s writings and create reflections for her readers. When I first read the manuscript that you now have in your hands, I felt like I was back in the classroom and the course was Dr. Hill’s Science of Success.
It has been said that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Both you and I know that the answers we seek are within each of us, but it often takes someone else to show us the direction in which to proceed. If you are a student of life and desire to be more successful, then by all means let Dr. Hill and Judith Williamson be your teachers.
It is not the accumulation of what you read that matters, but what you use. It only takes a few weeks of repeating the same act until it becomes a habit—either a good habit or a bad one. I know you have probably heard the saying, “we first make our habits and then our habits make us.”
Just as millions of other Napoleon Hill readers have done for nearly one hundred years, the message you are to receive, if you are ready to receive it, is that there is a roadmap to success. You can attain the success in life most people only dream of attaining. But, first you must follow in the footsteps of those who have achieved their goals.
Enjoy the journey.

Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in Wise County, Virginia. He began his writing career at age 13 as a ‘mountain reporter’ for small town newspapers and went on to become America’s most beloved motivational author. His work stands as a monument to individual achievement and is the cornerstone of modern motivation. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, is one of the best-selling books of all time. Hill established the Foundation as a nonprofit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.
