Over 70 yrs ago, Napolean Hill described procrastination as the hidden killer standing in the shadow of every human being waiting to spoil one's chances of success.  Failures come from the attitude and behavior of waiting for the "time to be right" or as we have discussed the underlying causes of lack of belief in the ability to reach a goal, and burning desire to overcome a fear of failure.  Kris will share his insights and experiences in overcoming procrastination to achieve his admirable success early on, and which he continues to build upon.

The Compassionate Capitalist Show, hosted by Karen Rands, digresses from the regular outline of each of the chapters in Napolean Hill's historic best selling original novel Think & Grow Rich to focus on Leadership.  Within his chapter on Step 6 Toward Riches: Organized Planning, Hill focuses a great deal on Leadership.   He spends time discussing the Origin of Leadership, the Eleven Secrets of Leadership, and what causes a Leader to fail.   

Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or an active investor mentoring entrepreneurs, understanding and mastering leadership within a growing organization is critical to the success of the company long term. A dysfunctional leader in a company, depending on their shortfall, can lead to a corporate culture of inefficiency, fear, and/or selfishness that will directly impacts the company's ability to create maximum profit and sustained growth.  Without profit and sustained growth, the company becomes an under performing company and does not realize its true potential in the market leading to less than ideal outcomes for an exit and return on investment. 

In this 30 min broadcast, Karen will explore this topic of Leadership drawing from Napolean Hill's writings and her own industry experience from working with hundreds of CEOs over the years.

The Compassionate Capitalist Radio Show continues with the Think & Grow Richer series for entrepreneurs with Episode 7: Think & Grow Richer:  Imagination – Ideas become Fortunes.  Napolean Hill discovered in his study of the most successful men of his day - man can create anything he imagines.  He found then and it is still true today, man has discovered and harnessed more of natures forces during the past fifty years than during the entire history of the human race prior to that time.   Man has conquered air so that birds are a poor match to the modern plane.  Man had defied gravity to fly to the moon - and back, and now populate space with stations that can support life, again and again.   Man has harnessed the forces of nature - wind, sun, water - to produce power sufficient to run our modern lives.  Man has broken the most complex of chemical coding to be able to define the elements of our human DNA genome to identify markers for various physical characteristics, diseases, and even identify our common ancestry.   At one point someone had an idea - a question that began with a "what if" and either by their own device answered the question or by harnessing the intellect and knowledge of others answered that question. 

Jim Debetta is known nationally as a trusted coach & mentor to thousands of inventors and entrepreneurs, Jim knows how to take new ideas from a sketch on a napkin to selling the final product to major retailers worldwide.  He has worked with hundreds of inventors and has seen first hand the power of harnessed imagination.   To learn more about Jim, and gain access to his "Essential Steps to Inventing" worksheet, visit http://jimdebetta.com

This episode of the Compassionate Capitalist's Think & Grow Rich series will focus on AutoSuggestion, see yourself where you will be, and you can achieve it. Napolean Hill put Autosuggestion as the 3rd step toward riches.   Autosuggestion is touched on in the initial discussion of Thoughts as Things and in Step 2 - Faith.  Napolean Hill thought it was so integral the idea that a person could "think and grow rich" that is addressed within every lesson, but specifially within the 3rd chapter. In this segment we will explore the concept in greater detail. 

The idea that man is the master of his destiny is accepted by most, but why or how can man be master of his destiny?  It is in the power of the mind.   What one believes he might achieve or not achieve, becomes the reality.  From the time we were little, we were told about Thomas the Train --- I think I can, I think I can....and Thomas does climb that hill.  Somewhere along the way, many of us lose sight of that simple premise.   The intent of this segment is to reignite the belief that you can achieve anything you want if you are willing to train your subconscious mind to believe that you can.

Karen Rands, as host of the Compassionate Capitalist Radio Show, will continue the Executive Leadership podcast series focusing on Faith.   Napolean Hill in his epic book, Think & Grow Rich, describes Step 2 in the journey to achieve success, wealth and personal greatness as Faith.  "Directed Faith makes every thought crackle with Power.  You can rise to limitless heights, impelled by the lifting force of your mighty new self-confidence."

To explore this topic, Karen is joined by Faith Reagan. Faith is a certified life coach focused on results.  Her mission is to help men and women who strive to set and achieve their personal, financial and business goals release those things that hold them back, steal their confidence, and inhibit their ability to move forward. Faith helps them gain Faith that they can achieve their goals.   Sometimes a person may not believe they are worthy of the success they are trying to achieve.  They focus on the negatives in their lives rather than the positive.  It is in the repetition of that negative story replayed in their self-talk of failure or "bad luck" that leads them to repeat and fail to achieve their desired goals.   Similarly, Napolean Hill determined over 75 years ago by examining the lives of the incredibly successful people of his time, Faith is a state of mind that can be induced or created simply by affirmation.  Every person has the power within themselves to change that if they take the 5 simple steps discussed in this segment.  Tune into hear more about how to create Faith and Belief in your success and potential to achieve your goals.

Every entrepreneur knows they are supposed to set goals -- long term goals, mid term goals, and short goals.   Often times they wonder why their goals seem to be just words on the paper seem to materialize and just get rewritten year after year.  According to the success principals of Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, goals must be integrated with desire in order to manifest themselves.  In this segment of the Compassionate Capitalist Show - Think & Grow Rich: Desire as a foundation for setting Goals  we will explore the fine art of backing your goals and dreams up with desire.  Desire for the outcome produces organized thought.  And Organized thought leads to actionable plans.  The emotion of desire will keep even the most distracted entrepreneur on track for their goals.

Karen Rands will have Paul Hoyt as her special guest to discuss integrating desire in to one's goals to achieve a measurable outcome. Paul has spent decades working with the CEOs of both large expanding companies and early stage and start up companies in crafting strategic plans and actionable plans to achieve stated goals.
