The Change Catalyst

Who they are

Author of “The Science of Growing Rich” written in 1910 preceding the more well-known “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

What they do

Continue to influence modern thinking on wealth creation. The Secret was based on The Science of Growing Rich. The Law of Attraction is one pillar necessary to build wealth.

What turning point was for me after knowing them

I first read this book about six months before I left the corporate world (and I am re-reading it now). It gave me an insight into how to approach the world. Abundance is a key word I learned from this book.  Instead of seeing the world as a trade off of limited resources, focus on growth and becoming better on a day to day basis.  This helped me switch from a glass ceiling limitation of working in a large company to a wider perspective of not only how I can create more wealth but also how can I contribute more to society. I set up my company TEAMSWORK to be a social entreprise. That means we contribute 10% of our income to worthy causes. We have supported Love Without Boundaries, schools in the Philippines, and The Library Project so that while we are creating wealth at the same time we are contributing to our community.

Why grateful

The abundance mindset allowed me to make the (difficult) step to understand that the more we give away to worthy causes, the more we attract.  Despite giving away (well investing in society) the first 10% of our income, our business has grown substantially year-on-year. The profits we receive are enlightened through this process. It’s a powerful formula and this book was an important part of my awakening.
