How Sex Transmutation Unlocks Peak Performance

"think and grow rich" chapter 11 Jul 17, 2025

“The transmutation of sex energy calls for the exercise of will-power, to be sure, but the reward is worth the effort... It should be given an outlet through forms of expression which enrich the body, mind, and spirit of man. If not given this form of outlet... it will seek outlets through purely physical channels.” Page 160 “Think and Grow Rich.”

Transform Your Most Powerful Energy Into Purpose

Hill is not telling us to suppress sexual energy. Instead, he’s showing us that our strongest human drive, sexual desire, can be redirected into creative power, ambition, and achievement when consciously transmuted.

This idea may sound abstract, but it’s very practical. Sex energy is creative energy. It’s the same life force that creates new life and when channeled, it becomes the same energy that builds:

  • Wealth
  • Businesses
  • Inventions
  • Art
  • Influence
  • Impact

Transmutation means converting this intense drive into higher pursuits, like building your business, staying committed to your goals, or leading others with purpose.

How This Supports Your 6-Step Plan from Chapter 2

Step 1. Burning Desire: Sex energy fuels emotion. When transmuted, it turns a “want” into an obsession-level desire — the kind Hill says is necessary for success.

Step 4. Action Plan: It amplifies your drive to act, take risks, and push past resistance.

Step 5 & 6. Repetition and Emotion: When you read your statement aloud with emotional intensity, sex transmutation can infuse those words with magnetic power — making them more than affirmations. They become commands to your subconscious.

Brian had a pattern of getting excited about a business idea, then quickly losing focus. He admitted that much of his energy was being spent on distraction, social media, chasing relationships, and constantly seeking stimulation.

After reflecting on sex transmutation, and he committed to:

  • Channeling that energy into daily business tasks
  • Focusing on purpose over pleasure
  • Infusing his morning goal statement reading with more passion and belief

Sex energy is rocket fuel. You can burn it up in distraction or you can channel it into legacy.

If you're serious about your goals, especially those tied to Hill’s 6-step plan, learn to:

  • Harness your emotional energy
  • Direct it toward your purpose
  • Use it to deepen your intensity, creativity, and action

Transmutation isn't about denying your nature. It's about aligning your nature with your vision.

Ask yourself:

  • Am I leaking energy into things that don’t serve my goals?
  • How can I convert that same emotional energy into creative output, wealth-building activity, or focused execution?

When you feel emotionally or physically charged, pour that energy into writing, creating, selling, or planning. Read your 6-step goal statement with emotional conviction, let your inner fire fuel your words.
