The Napoleon Hill
Framework
Desire, Faith & The Mastermind
Napoleon Hill shaped how their era thought about itself through distinctive voice and observational rigour. Napoleon Hill's intellectual method, captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask.
The desire, faith & the mastermind framework distils Napoleon Hill's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds.
Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Napoleon Hill made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Napoleon Hill's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Napoleon Hill's thinking.
Success is a mental science that follows definite laws—desire crystallized into obsession, faith built through auto-suggestion, and power multiplied through mastermind alliances. The subconscious mind, when properly directed through definite purpose and emotional intensity, becomes an unstoppable force that attracts the people, circumstances, and opportunities necessary for achievement.

What it does with a real question.
A founder is deciding whether to take a large but difficult client.
Test the client against your definite purpose. A large, difficult client is not a question about revenue. It is a question about whether this one relationship moves you toward the single thing you have decided to build, or whether it quietly turns your company into a service shop for someone else's ambitions. Most founders accept such clients out of fear, and fear is a poor counselor. Taking the work because the invoice is big and you are afraid of the next quiet quarter is drift dressed up as progress.
So here is my position: take the client only if the difficulty is the kind that builds the muscle your purpose requires, and only if you can protect the rest of your attention while doing it. Carnegie accepted demanding customers when they forced his mills to improve at what he intended to dominate, and refused them when they pulled him sideways. Ask which this is.
Notice what a hard client demands: specialized knowledge you may not hold. Pride says handle it alone. Wisdom says you need allies who already have what you lack, whether an operations lead, a seasoned account manager, or a peer who has survived a client like this.
Your next move, this week: write one sentence stating what this client must do for your long-term goal, then call one person who has managed a client of this size and ask them to help you set terms before you sign.
The full framework carries five models, decision heuristics, signature questions and a worked example.
