Bruce Lee : The Think and Grow Rich Story

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. - Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee was one of the most famous martial artists and movie stars in the world. He was a true pioneer of Martial Arts and was the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Mr Lee made many famous blockbusters like Fist of Fury and The Big Boss. Bruce Lee was very clear in what he wanted to do like many famous and successful people. He was a very focused and driven individual who would do anything to achieve his goals.

At the age of 28, Bruce Lee was a very driven and talented Martial Artist who already had two children by then. However at that age he was not a known martial arts actor. The only thing he had was the hunger for success and the belief in himself that he would make it. Bruce Lee is one of the greatest success stories. 

He wrote a mission statement at 28 in the year of 1969. At the time he was a minor TV star in the USA. He featured in a small number of shows which included the short lived The Green Hornet TV series. He had no financial support or income and had his second child recently born. Bruce Lee wrote down exactly what he wanted to achieve (see the note he wrote below).

Bruce's success came from reading the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Check out the Review of the book from us. In the book Napoleon Hill writes you have to clearly visualize a goal to achieve it. Imagine you have already achieved your goal. This is what Bruce Lee did to achieve his goals of becoming such a powerful man. I encourage you to buy and read the book Think and Grow Rich, it will make your life better.
