Unlocking the Sixth Sense: The Final Key to Wealth Creation

"think and grow rich" chapter 14 Aug 07, 2025

If you’ve ever wondered why some entrepreneurs seem to make intuitive, genius-level decisions at exactly the right moment even when the data doesn’t support it, you’re not imagining things.

They may have tapped into something Napoleon Hill calls the Sixth Sense.

In Chapter 14 of Think and Grow Rich, Hill states:

“You, of course, have recognized that this chapter covers a subject with which a majority of people are not familiar. The Sixth Sense is a subject that will be of great interest and benefit to the person whose aim is to accumulate vast wealth, but it need not claim the attention of those whose desires are more modest.” Page 200 “Think and Grow Rich.”

What Is the Sixth Sense in Business Terms?

Hill’s “Sixth Sense” isn’t science fiction, it’s a heightened form of intuition or awareness that only becomes accessible after you’ve fully integrated the other 13 principles.

Think of it as the moment when your conscious effort aligns perfectly with subconscious belief. It’s the quiet nudge, the inspired idea, or the sudden insight that seems to come out of nowhere often when you need it most.

Most people never access this faculty because they don’t go deep enough with the foundational work. But those who do? They develop an inner GPS that guides them to opportunity with uncanny accuracy.

How the Sixth Sense Connects to Hill’s 6-Step Wealth Plan

Here’s the secret: the Sixth Sense only activates after you’ve trained your mind to follow your desire with purpose, clarity, and consistent action.

Step 1. Define your exact financial goal.

Step 2. Know what you’ll give in return.

Step 3. Set a clear deadline.

Step 4. Create a plan and begin executing.

Step 5. Write out a concise statement.

Step 6. Repeat it daily with emotion and belief.

Each of these steps sharpens your mind’s focus. They build emotional momentum and create mental discipline. And eventually, when your desire becomes your dominant thought, your subconscious connects the dots in ways you consciously cannot.

That’s the moment the Sixth Sense kicks in.

Why This Matters to Serious Entrepreneurs

This isn’t for dabblers. Hill makes it clear, if your aim is to create vast wealth, the Sixth Sense is your ultimate advantage.

You’ll:

  • Make better decisions with less hesitation
  • Sense timing more accurately in business deals
  • Avoid costly mistakes by “feeling” misalignment
  • Receive ideas you could never think of logically

But only if you’ve laid the proper groundwork.

Prepare for the Leap

The Sixth Sense is not a shortcut. It’s the reward for doing the inner work. It’s the byproduct of persistent desire, planning, action, and belief.

The lesson? Don’t chase the Sixth Sense; build yourself into the kind of person it shows up for.

What to Do Next

If you’re serious about mastering Think and Grow Rich, don’t skip the steps. Go back to your 6-step plan and ask:

  • Is my desire truly burning?
  • Do I believe in it with emotional certainty?
  • Am I taking action daily?
  • Am I emotionally conditioning my mind every morning and night?

Only when these become habit will the Sixth Sense reveal itself and when it does, you'll begin to experience success on a whole new level.
