Andrew Carnegie was a successful business man who had made a fortune in the Steel Industry around 1900. He found that if he took a young person and trained them in his methods they would end up being successful. So what was the Carnegie formula, how did he manage to transform ordinary people?
One of his gifts was that it was said he knew as it were what a person was thinking, and could guide that person to make the right decisions. It seems he understood people and the way to help them achieve the best.

One of the greatest gifts that he felt that he could give the world was the secret of how he made his fortune. And to this end he commissioned a person to study hundreds of successful Millionaires to discover what things they had in common which brought them success.
This turned out to be a very powerful exercise, and it was a research that was carried out over a period of around 20 years. This gift of Carnegie turns out to be 16 things that successful people do consistently. If you examined successful people you will find out it is not necessarily luck or hard work but it is the applying of these 16 things.

So what are these things and how do you apply them, and can anyone find success using them?
Well the answer to those questions is very clear, the study looked at many people who had started with nothing and had gone on to make vast fortunes. And it is like receiving a golden key that can open the door to this realisation.

Many people go through life not realising their full potential, and some do not realise any of their potential. This is very sad given the fact that if they were to change the way that they think then there whole life could be transformed.

So what did Mr Carnegie do to enable him to gain a vast fortune, the interesting thing is to look at his life and also to look at the lives of other people who have been successful. For example Mr John D. Rockefeller who had made a fortune in the Oil industry around the turn of the twentieth.
Napoleon Hill studied 500 successful people and came up with a number of things starting from having a definite chief aim. He found that success starts from having a passionate burning desire, and knowing what you really want from life. What do you really want out of life? Do you have a burning passionate desire?
