Yes you are right Elbert. I actually came across Think and Grow Rich while doing MLM briefly (I was in Amway) and I’ve always seen this as one of the more positive and lasting moments of my involvement with MLM. I failed with MLM but I learned stuff that helped me gain success with affiliate marketing.

Actually Michael, I still do use that six step formula. It was through revisiting the formula to set a goal that I decided to write this post about using it.

You should definitely try to read Think and Grow Rich yourself. There’s a lot of knowledge in there that can be applied to running a business.

I love how you personally used that 6 step formula and applied it to your own life to achieve what you wanted to do.

Are you still setting goals each year trying to make more money or do bigger and better things?

Thank again for this wonderful post and your personal story — very inspiring.

I think we need to invest more in ourselves , as in the knowledge, understanding and even education to equip us in building any business.

because when what we build happen to fail we can always build something new because the resources is within us

Yes Jacob. They’re all still relevant, it’s just that they might be worded differently.

For example, if a financial planner says that you need to set specific goals and develop a plan to reach those goals. Then he might recommend having a vision board to remind you of your goals – although he might not have even read Hill’s book, it’s the exact same concept.

I believe they’re all still very relevant. Have you read the book? Give it a read if you haven’t.

Before reading it I had heard of a lot of the principles from Napoleon Hills books but I didn’t really know how to apply them. And it isn’t really much use to have knowledge if you don’t apply it.

However, after reading this article I now know how to apply the information from the book into my life and I think this will have a great impact.

Do you think that all the principles in the book are still relevant today?

Affiliate marketing will always be around and it is always changing and evolving as technology itself evolves. As long as ecommerce websites need customers, they will always leverage the power of affiliate marketing for this reason. You need not worry about whether affiliate marketing will be around – its always growing and changing.

Loved this story. The steps work.

Thanks for sharing.

I’m interested in your opinion on affiliate marketing in general… do you think it’s something that will always be around, or do you think it could eventually change or evolve into something else?
