More Revelations From the UK Entrepreneurs' Convention

It seems that Gary Vurnum, one of the speakers (who was every bit as interesting off-stage as he was on) has followed some of fellow presenter Peter Woodhead's advice and example, and rescued a classic text from obscurity.

Peter told an enthralled audience exactly how to find lost manuscripts, long out of copyright, and turn them into valuable resources for the modern age.

You've probably heard of Napoleon Hill's 'Think and Grow Rich', and most people believe that was the volume that made his name and his fortune. In fact, despite numerous financial misadventures along the way, Hill was making a very good living before Think and Grow Rich was even published, through copywriting and speech writing.

What I didn't know was that he also published another major work, almost a decade before TaGR where he first espoused many of the thoughts and ideas of the later book. It was a much bigger work, which might explain why fewer people have read it, but it's probably his masterpiece.

Napoleon Hill called his work 'The Law of Success', and now it's been successfully republished and it's as pertinent as ever. Gary Vurnum puts a lot of his own success down to working through it 'about ten times'.

Gary has converted the work into a course, so it's far more digestible, and added some amazing bonuses, worth more than he's actually charging for the course.

You can find out more about it here.

PS There's even a 'public domain' (out of copyright) edition of Think and Grow Rich and several people (including Gary Vurnum, I believe) have republished their own versions of the classic work.
