Three Feet from Gold

Turn Your Obstacles Into Opportunities (Think and Grow Rich, Book 1)

De: Sharon L. Lechter, Greg S. Reid

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

In 1908, an unknown writer was chosen by Andrew Carnegie, the richest man in the world, to undertake a very special project - interview the most influential and wealthy leaders to determine the common denominator among them for attaining success. That young man was Napoleon Hill, and the book that grew from those interviews was Think and Grow Rich, the bible of personal development and the 20th best-selling book in the history of the world.

Exactly 100 years later the Napoleon Hill Foundation selected two gifted individuals to follow in Hill's historic footsteps and modernize his classic work by interviewing the most celebrated and gifted minds of our modern era. Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid focused their query on a core component of the Think and Grow Rich philosophy by asking one simple question: What inspired you despite overwhelming challenges, dismal odds and discouraging setback to persevere on your quest?

Now, more than ever, we need a reminder that in order to achieve greatness our determination must be more powerful that any obstacles confronted. Great pains are prerequisites to great gains. There are no shortcuts. First there is a dream, and then there is struggle followed by victory. The admonition is to not be a footnote in history like R. U. Darby. Who was he? He was a miner during the California Gold Rush who threw in the towel and sold his claim for a hundred dollars. The man who bought the claim dug only 'three feet' before striking one of the richest gold veins in history.©2009 Sharon L. Lechter CPA and Greg S. Reid (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Very inspiring and eye opening

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, absolutely. It gets your full attention and makes you see and think about where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Three Feet from Gold?

The fact that the most successful people are the ones that are the most willing to share. That people in the middle are the ones that are full of EGO and do not have time for anyone but themselves.

What does Dan John Miller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It feels like he is talking to you and telling you his own story. I find it easier to focus and listen to what he has to say.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Three Feet from Gold?

Share my experience and my profit with others, believe in myself, climb safe but climb to the top, keeping the right people and the right media around me, start going through my personal inventory!

Any additional comments?

This audiobook has opened my eyes and I am already planning on listening to it again. I was suffocating my self with to much thinking. It brought my thoughts from negative to possitive and made me see possibilities instead of problems.

About NOT quitting.

A great reminder and new paradigm of Think & grow rich

I listened to this many years ago. I think this is my 3rd or 4th time through. Every time brings out new things and is relevant to where I am now.

This was a good review of Think And Grow Rich

I enjoyed the review of the principles of Think Grow Rich with its more present-day focus. I listen to an audiobook every week to two weeks because it's much more convenient than reading the books. What makes or breaks any audiobook is the presentation of the story or materials by the narrator. Frankly, this is the worst narration of any book I've listen to. I felt like the actor/narrator was trying to play the role of every different character. It was so disruptive. I found myself focused on what the narration. When he tried to imitate women it sounded like a totally effeminate man and I just found it very very distracting to the material. I found the material terrific and I really was enjoying the material at times but I just couldn't deal with the narration. I've never complained about an audiobook before and I've listened to 100-150, but if I were the publisher of this audiobook I would absolutely go back and have it narrated by somebody that can remain neutral or enhance the material, he's not Orson Welles. I really wanted to listen to this a bunch of times and let the info sink in but I just couldn't listen to it anymore. I ended up just deleting it and buying the book...very disappointing. As I listened to the story of how long and hard the process was of writing this book and then struggling for years to get a publisher it is hard to imagine how this final product was found even remotely acceptable.

Just what I needed!

If you want what you say, then go and get it and stop waiting for someone or somebody to give it to YA!
