Are You Struggling Alone

Are You Struggling Alone

‍

 Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. My name is George Wright III, and I am your host. I hope you’re having a great day today. Right off the bat, I want to apologize if the audio quality is a little lower than usual. I’m actually recording this in my car, on the way to my next appointment, because I had a thought I didn’t want to wait to share.

You’ve heard me say many times before that it’s never too late to start living the life you were meant to live. Sometimes that means making choices daily—small but powerful decisions that can shift everything. Today, I want to share an insight with you that I believe can inspire and motivate you in your week and in your life.

Napoleon Hill's Inspiration During the Great Depression

This thought is based on some recent reading, specifically Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil. You may know this book wasn’t published during his lifetime. It was later released by his widow, with commentary by Sharon Lechter, co-author of the Rich Dad series. It’s a fascinating read—and the opening struck me powerfully.

Hill wrote about his life during the Great Depression, a time when nearly everyone was losing everything they had. It was a period of fear, uncertainty, and deep economic turmoil—much like many are experiencing today.

He recounted losing his 600-acre ranch, having his bank accounts frozen when the banks failed, and finding himself sitting alone in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. As he sat there, reflecting on his losses and future, he was forced to reevaluate where he wanted to go.

Think about that. Here was Napoleon Hill, one of the fathers of modern personal development and success principles, struggling like everyone else. He had taught success philosophies for years, yet in that moment, he felt defeated. He questioned how he could continue teaching success while his own life was crumbling.

And then something shifted. In that moment of despair, he experienced what he described as a burst of inspiration. He realized that the answers and solutions were always around him—he just hadn’t been paying attention. He recognized that even in the midst of crisis, there was opportunity.

Most importantly, he saw two things clearly. First, he realized that his hardship was an opportunity to prove that success principles worked, even during the worst of times. Second, he realized he had been neglecting one of the very principles he had taught for years: the power of the mastermind.

‍

The Power of the Mastermind Principle

The mastermind principle is the idea that two or more people, working in harmony toward a common goal, create a powerful force greater than the sum of their parts. Hill admitted he had lived much of his life as a lone wolf, trying to succeed on his own. And that approach was failing him.

Many of us do the same thing. We struggle in silence, believing we’ll figure it out ourselves, then reemerge stronger. But the truth is, the same mindset that got us into trouble won’t be the one to get us out.

Hill realized he needed to surround himself with others—people who were positive, focused on success, and aligned with a common goal. This didn’t require money, prestige, or elaborate structures. It was simply about finding or creating a circle of support that could help him see opportunities he couldn’t see on his own.

That’s exactly what many of you have already begun doing by listening to The Daily Mastermind. My goal is to provide inspiration, motivation, and education so you can create a better life. But even more than listening, the challenge is to build your own mastermind—whether with friends, family, colleagues, or mentors.

Being around successful and positive people expands your belief in what’s possible. It increases your willingness to take action, which creates new experiences, which in turn create new beliefs and results. That’s how growth works.

Encouragement to Form Your Own Mastermind

So let me ask you: are you trying to do it all on your own? Are you waiting until you’ve “figured it out” before you seek help? Or are you isolating yourself when what you need most is connection?

If so, I encourage you to begin forming your own mastermind. It doesn’t need to be complicated. Start small. Maybe it’s a friend who shares your goals, a coworker you respect, or a mentor who sees potential in you that you can’t yet see yourself.

At the same time, examine how you’re approaching your challenges. Are you consumed by the problems and obstacles, or are you consciously seeking the solutions? Are you stuck in a scarcity mindset, or are you choosing to look through the lens of abundance?

Today can be the day you shift. It’s a brand new day. It’s never too late to redirect your life toward the one you want to create.

‍

Final Thoughts and Call to Action

That’s the thought I wanted to share with you today. Don’t try to go it alone, and don’t get stuck staring at the problem. Build a mastermind. Look for opportunity in every obstacle. Choose abundance over scarcity.

I hope this message inspires you to take action. Do me a favor and share this episode with someone you know who might be struggling. Post it in your story and tag me so I can thank you personally. It would mean the world to me, and you never know how much it might help someone else.

This has been The Daily Mastermind with George Wright III. Have an amazing day, and I look forward to talking with you tomorrow.
