Three Feet from Gold Nugget - Ed Foreman

The Napoleon Hill Foundation has partnered with Greg S. Reid and Sharon L. Lechter to present the principles of Think and Grow Rich in a new, updated, and entertaining fable. Now readers from around the world will unwrap the teachings of Napoleon Hill through the contemporary story of one man's quest to uncover the keys to success from current leaders and luminaries. Imagine the opportunity of a lifetime delivered to you by one person's mistake. In a rush, a coat-checker gave a customer the wrong coat. However, this was no ordinary coat—it belonged to the one person who was willing and able to deliver the principles needed to attain success, happiness and fulfillment in a young man's life. Three Feet from Gold is the story of Mike Vas, a fictional character, who, at a low point in his life, was given an unexpected opportunity to sit across from some of the most successful people alive today. A business card inside of the misplaced jacket identified its owner as Jon Buckland, one of the most successful people in the world. While Mike was tempted to keep the garment for himself, he realized a greater opportunity lay with meeting the owner if Mike returned the lost item. Buckland was pleased that Mike was honest enough to correct the mistake, so much so, that Buckland decided to offer his personal assistance to help the young man prosper—the kind of assistance Andrew Carnegie once gave one of his student so many years ago. Three Feet from Gold expounds on the discoveries made by Napoleon Hill when he interviewed the wealthiest and most successful people of his era. This new classic in the making updates Hill's findings by including insights from current captains of success, it also presents the principles in an accessible story. While Mike and his mentor Buckland are fictional figures, the people Mike meets along his journey are not. For this book, author Greg Reid, with the aid of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, interviewed people who have achieved their goals and lived their dreams, including: Dave Liniger (Co-founder of REMAX Realty) Julie Krone (Professional female athlete of the year) Truett Cathy (Founder of Chick-Fil-A) James Amos (Former CEO, MBE/UPS Stores) Jack Mates (Founding CEO, Velcro USA) Ed Foreman (Only person elected to Congress in two states) Charlie 'Tremendous' Jones (Inspirational Giant) Paul J. Meyer (Self made Billionaire) John Schwarz (Co-creator 'String Theory') Joe Dudley (Founder Dudley Cosmetics) Don Green (Exec Director Napoleon Hill Foundation) Evander Holyfield (Boxing Champion) Mike Helton (President, NASCAR) Wally Amos (Famous Amos Cookies) Dr. Tom Haggai (Chairman, Heratio Alger Committee) Ruben Gonzalez (Three time Winter Olympian) Drayton McLane (Chairman Houston Astros Franchise) JaHja Ling (Acclaimed Symphony Conductor) Richard Cohn (Publisher, The Secret) Ronald D. Glosser (Former president of Goodyear Bank, retired president and CEO of The Hershey Trust and the M.S. Hershey Foundation.) Jack Faris (Former president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business) Jerry Heffel (Past pres. Southwestern Company) Michael Laine (Founder and president of LiftPort, Inc., builders of the space elevator) John St Augustine (Exec Director, 'Oprah and Friends') These personalities share their experiences, insights, challenges, and achievements. Their guidance and advice are taken from interviews Reid conducted in person. Their words are more than simple quotes, paraphrases, and anecdotes gleamed from other projects; the words are the actual stories, told in their own words, about what it takes to champion ones field. The combination of real-world individuals in a fictional setting makes Three Feet from Gold accessible to a broad readership, while increasing the impact of the lessons learned. In this fable, Mike Vas learns lessons that transform his life. Reader travels with him, gaining insights on how to apply these teachings to their own situations with the over-arching moral of "never quit before the miracle happens."
