The Universal Law That Creates Wealth: A Modern Take
Jun 16, 2025“Moreover, the principle through which Dr. Gunsaulus got his million dollars is still alive! It is available to you! This universal law is as workable today as it was when the young preacher made use of it so successfully. This book describes, step by step, the thirteen elements of this great law, and suggests how they may be put to use.” Page 85 “Think and Grow Rich.”
In this powerful quote from Chapter 6, Napoleon Hill reminds us that true wealth doesn’t come from chance or luck. It comes from applying a universal law, a principle based on focused desire, imagination, belief, and action. It’s the same law that helped Dr. Gunsaulus raise $1 million simply by forming a clear purpose and demanding its fulfillment.
Meet Rachel, she had been freelancing for five years, jumping between low-paying clients, always chasing new gigs. Deep down, she wanted more a boutique copywriting agency with premium clients, steady income, and creative freedom.
She had read Think and Grow Rich once before, but on her second reading, a line stopped her: “The principle through which Dr. Gunsaulus got his million dollars is still alive… It is available to you!” Rachel realized something important: she had been wishing, not demanding. She hadn’t made a definite plan. She hadn’t applied the universal law. That night, she pulled out a notebook and got serious about her success.
Rachel applied Hill’s 6-step plan with precision, this time fueled by belief and imagination:
Step 1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire.
She chose $250,000 in annual income from her agency within 12 months.
Step 2. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return.
Rachel committed to building a high-performing team, producing conversion-optimized copy, and working with no more than five top-tier clients.
Step 3. Establish a definite date.
She set the deadline: By June 1st of the following year.
Step 4. Create a definite plan and begin at once.
Her plan included: launching a portfolio site, building a niche offer, reaching out to 5 leads per week, and hiring a part-time project manager.
Step 5. Write out a clear, concise statement.
She wrote: "I am so happy and grateful now that I earn $250,000 by June 1st, delivering high-value conversion copy to elite coaches and startups, in return for delivering excellence through my boutique agency."
Step 6. Read your written statement aloud twice daily with faith.
She did this every morning and every night, imagining the life she was creating, speaking it into reality.
This quote isn’t just a piece of history. It’s a call to action. You don’t need luck. You don’t need a wealthy background. You need:
- A definite purpose
- A clear plan
- A burning desire
And the willingness to act and believe consistently
That’s the universal law in motion. It’s mental. It’s spiritual. And it’s practical. Have you written down your goal? Have you applied the 6-step plan with clarity and conviction? Join our weekly online discussion and let’s use Hill’s principles to build your success story.
