One of the great books that many entrepreneurs study is Napoleon Hill's 1937 classic, "Think and Grow Rich". Hill began at an early age to study great achievers such as Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. He became the world's foremost scholar and thinker in the science of human success and the author of" many books.

In this book, Hill talks about the "Master Mind": the collective brain power that is tapped by many highly successful people. Hill defines the "Master Mind" as the "Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people for the attainment of a definite purpose".

Hill was first drawn to the concept of the Master Mind by Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie's surrounded himself with a group which consisted of fifty staff members whose definite purpose was the manufacture and marketing of steel. Carnegie attributed his entire fortune to the power he accumulated through this "Master Mind".
