Did you know that you were telepathic?

Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill had been recommended to me several times. Reading the book, I remembered conversations from various forums, and they started to make more sense.

Vibrational thinking!

Affirmations!

The power of the subconscious mind!

Creative imagination!!

Napoleon Hill’s text from 1931 addresses all of these “new age” ideas!

Napoleon Hill spent 20 years gathering knowledge from people who created massive wealth and fortunes that forged brands that are household names to this very day like Carnegie, Ford, Edison, and Firestone.

Chad Williams story represents a tragic miscarriage of Justice in America. His story also is a master class in determination.

Chad Williams was an economics major at SUNY Buffalo State, paving the road for a bright professional future.

That all changed as a junior, during an evening with his friends on Chippewa Avenue, when he was falsely accused of assaulting an Uber driver.

In the excruciating year that followed, Williams, who is Black, dealt with a public defender who took little interest in the case, and a justice system that looked at his protestations of innocence with something between indifference and disbelief.

“I’m a college student during the whole thing, and it was weighing on my mind,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to go to work. I didn’t want to go to school.”

After he resisted a plea deal, the case was finally dropped as Williams was entering his senior year in fall 2019.

It was a personal graduation of sorts – he was now determined to do something about social justice issues that nearly derailed his life.

Williams founded dooProcess, a social justice apparel startup, as a way to express himself and make a difference.

Takeaway:

👉 Determination Creates Success

Chad Williams is the founder of dooProcess. Chad is a 2020 graduate from Buffalo State College with a degree in Economics. He is from Brooklyn, NY. Currently living in Buffalo, NY.
