\u201cThe deeper you dig, the larger the diamond.\u201d \u2014 Brian Buffini

The foundation of the personal development field rests upon the work of several people. Although Napoleon Hill is often seen as the grandfather of the movement, Earl Nightingale, Maxwell Maltz and Dorothea Brande have all make their mark in their own ways. In this episode, recorded at Buffini & Company\u2019s MasterMind Summit 2017, Brian Buffini outlines the most important pearls of wisdom from these three influential thinkers. Not only does he share more about their lives, he also explains the meaning behind their timeless wisdom. You\u2019ll learn more about the role our thoughts play in what we become, why failure shouldn\u2019t be feared and why success is often a matter of imagination.

You\u2019ll also learn more about the twelve disciplines Dorothea Brande outlines to become successful.
