Decision as the Key to Transformation

In his classic work, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill stated that 98% of people are in the jobs they have through indecision, i.e. because they never made the decision about what they wanted to do in their lives in the first place. Some say that statistic has not substantially changed through all these years.

He further stated that indecision explains why many people feel that they have a life purpose, but have no idea what it is.

Decision is the key to transformation. It is one of the key character traits distinguishing high performers from the vast ranks of the mediocre. He goes on to say that sound decision making is, by definition, behind every truly great achievement anyone ever makes.

Interestingly he said, the most successful people make decisions quickly and change them slowly. They persist with the decisions they have made. However, failures are very slow to make any decision at all (most never make any), and they change the ones they have made very rapidly indeed because they are so uncertain of their choices.

Think and Grow Rich was first published in 1937 around the great depression and has sold about 30,000,000 copies over the last 70 years. Subject: Thinking, Decisions, Wealth, Success
