Just what are the vital habits of Greatness is no small question to answer.

Almost everyone seems to have an opinion on the subject. Bookseller lists are full of titles announcing innumerable 'steps', 'principles' and 'secrets' for high achievement. Public speakers abound with inspirational stories and 'tips' for better living. Even the trashiest of magazines seem to include an article on 'living you dream' and 'believing in yourself' somewhere... It's easy to become overwhelmed and distracted.

'a course in Greatness' is different. We have foregone the temptation to create a subjective and anecdotal account of what 'we believe' constitutes Greatness. Instead, we integrated for you the objective findings of Greatness, from two of the best researchers into the subject of last century: Dr. Abraham Maslow and Dr. Napoleon Hill.

Their discoveries are not just personal opinions and ideologies. They are scientific and measurable observations into the characteristics of the highly successful, influential and self-actualized. Their discoveries paved the way for the whole range of personal development and positive psychology principles that we have today. They are the original and the best:

Dr. Napoleon Hill's 16 Laws of Success

The first set of principles upon which this course based, are the '16 Laws of Success' that Dr. Hill realized via a research project that took over 20 years of full time work and the investigation of nearly 20,000 individuals. This was and still is the largest 'hands on' research project ever undertaken into the study of high achievement.

Sponsored by Andrew Carnegie (one of the first billionaire philanthropists in the world), who put Dr. Hill in contact with most of the giant figures of management and leadership in the world at the time, - like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, John Rockefeller, Frank Woolworth, presidents like William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, (for whom Mr. Hill also served as their advisor)…. and hundreds more.

Therefore these laws of success are not Mr. Hill's 'wishful ideas', but the distillation of the direct observable patterns of the top 500 most successful people in United States at the time, in contrast with the rest.

His teachings are widely acknowledged as the foundation for more success stories than any other. Here are just 5 of his 'students' who had this to say about his program:

“Whatever success I may have attained I owe, entirely, to the application of your 16 fundamental principles of the Law of Success.”

William Wrigley (creator of the Wrigley gum company)

"I wish to express my appreciation of the splendid work you have done in the organization of this philosophy of Law of Success ... I am happy to have had the privilege of rendering you some slight measure of help in the organization of this splendid course of "common sense" philosophy."

William Howard Taft (27th US President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court)

“I know that you that you are doing a world of good with your Law of Success . I would not care to set a monetary value on this training because it brings to the student qualities which cannot be measured by money, alone.”

George Eastman (creator of Kodak camera and company)

"Any man who devotes that much time, must of necessity make discoveries of great value to others. I am deeply impressed by your interpretation of the 'Master Mind' principles which you have so clearly described"

Woodrow Wilson (28th US President)

“By applying many of the 16 fundamentals of the Law of Success philosophy we have built a great chain of successful stores. I presume it would be no exaggeration of fact if I said that the Woolworth Building might be called a monument to the soundness of these principles.”

Frank Woolworth (creator of Woolworth stores and company)

In 'a course in Greatness' every lesson that Dr. Hill taught, you will learn too.

The entire wisdom that Dr Hill has discovered throughout his career has been systematically collected, reanalyzed and reformatted, so that each theoretical principle he teaches, is to become a permanent life-habit for you.

The coaching program here, has amplified his teachings for today's world, so you can meaningfully live out its wisdom. It's an exclusive and profound system that weaves together the laws of success, together with:

Abraham Maslow's 16 Characteristics of Self Actualizers

'The 16 Characteristics of Self-Actualizers' were researched by Dr Maslow - chairman of the psychology department at Brandeis University. He also dedicated more than 20 years to explore the psychological make up of great people (self-actualizers).

Frustrated by the psychological trends of the day which only looked at mentally sick people, - Dr. Maslow pioneered the idea of studying the psychological make up of the most self-actualized men and women instead.

To understand these qualities, he made intensive biographical analyses on notable historical figures like Albert Einstein, William James, Spinoza, Goethe, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Aldous Huxley, Jane Adams, Joseph Haydn, Robert Browning, Walt Whitman, Henry Longfellow, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Schweitzer, Ralph Waldo Emerson and many others.

A highly intelligent man, (scoring 195 on the IQ test, the second highest ever recorded) Dr. Maslow pinpointed the 16 character traits that are shared by all Great people. His research influenced some of the biggest thought leaders in the world. Here are just three and what they had to say:

"Abraham Maslow's psychology work has been very influential in my life. He is the original pathfinder in the study of man’s potential for greatness."

Dr. Wayne Dyer
(Leader of the Self Help Movement)

"Since at least the time of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, the “good life” has been the subject of philosophical and religious inquiry. Today’s positive psychologists have not invented the study of happiness, well being, or strengths, but Maslow’s proposal that people strive to make the most of their potential in a process called self-actualization, founded this field."

Dr. Martin Seligman
(Leader of Positive Psychology)

"Maslow's work had an enormous impact on me. I became an immediate convert -- Maslow's evidence is overwhelming. But to date very few people have paid much attention."

Dr. Peter Drucker
(Leader of Management Theory)

DNA of a course in Greatness

Forget the latest 'program of the month'!

You will be hard pressed to find more reliable, comprehensive and time tested means to personal development than to integrate Dr. Hill & Maslow's wisdom into your life.

Their ideas continue to be the most profound and reliable theories into personal development today, because they're solely based on evidence: i.e. they understood Greatness, by studying the greats.

'a course in Greatness' is dedicated to these two remarkable men. We are deeply indebted to their mission to research and then teach their findings to the world. The course here and its ability to transform lives, is only made possible because we stand on their gigantic legacy.

We don't need to reinvent the wheel. Between Dr. Hill's 'street smarts' and Dr Maslow's 'academic smarts', we have a highly trustworthy road map to Greatness.

When you embrace and live out what they had to teach, high achievement will be the natural effect, of you being the primary cause.

Taking the Works of Dr. Hill and Dr. Maslow to the Next Level:

Our part has been to take their theories and transform them into a unified, practical application system - a set of practices for cultivating Greatness.

We have integrated Dr. Hill's laws of success with Dr. Maslow's characteristics of self-actualizers into a set of six major habits, which are covered throughout this website.

We believe this is the natural extension of their work... While Dr. Hill & Maslow's research discovered the essential ELEMENTS of Greatness, this course here sets the FRAMEWORK by which any participant may replicate the DNA of Greatness into their own lives.

Like Dr. Hill & Maslow has done, this too is a research. It researches the application methods for self-actualization, as an Action Research Project supervised by Monash University in Melbourne.

We're here to test the most effective ways to integrate success principles into a habitual practice, perception and predisposition - and we want you to be a part of it!

There is no coaching program like this anywhere in the world. 'a course in Greatness' will make Dr. Hill and Maslow's theory, a part of your being - so that no goal, no ambition, no dream is beyond your capacity to realize.
