That's sellingonline.com slash podcast. This is the Russell Brunson Show. why men seldom succeed before 40. And I was like, that's fascinating. And this week he says, he said, I discovered from analyzing, from the analysis of over 25,000 people, the men who succeed in an outstanding way seldom do so before the age of 40. So why do people only succeed after 40? He says, And more often than not, they do not strike the real pace until they're well beyond the age of 50.
This study discloses the fact that the major reason why the majority who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of 40 to 50 is their tendency to dissipate their energies through overindulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. So their focus is having sex, looking at pornography, doing these things that take away that energy versus not doing that, letting it stay inside of you and then using that to go and open up your creativity, your genius, driving you towards your different goals and motivations. So I thought it was an interesting way to look at what Napoleon Hill calls transmutation of sexual energy. Hey, this is Russell. Welcome back to my vault. Today, I pulled out something very unique, very fascinating, a little controversial.
It is an issue of Practical Psychology Monthly Magazine from 1937, which happens to be the exact same year that Napoleon Hill wrote and launched the book, Think and Grow Rich. And in here, I found an article he used to promote Think and Grow Rich. And the article is called Sex Urge Stimulates Genius. And it's an entire chapter about, again, transmutation of sexual energy, which is something Napoleon Hill, again, talks about in Think and Grow Rich, talks about here. And again, this is something that
Why do most people not succeed before the age of 40?
I rarely, if ever, have heard people talk about when they talk about thinking growth, they talk about Napoleon Hill, there's something he keeps bringing up. And so I wanted today in this video to dive a little bit deeper, like why does he keep talking about it? Is it important for us to understand and how can it help us to be more successful in our business and in our lives? This makes me uncomfortable because, you know, I'm the Mormon LDS guy who doesn't normally talk about these type of topics. It's funny, we did a Think and Grow Rich challenge a little while ago, and when we were building out Think and Grow Rich challenge, I was like, I'm gonna pick, I think we picked six different laws from the Think and Grow Rich book to talk about.
And specifically, I did not pick one on sexual transmutation of energy, so I don't wanna talk about that. And it was funny is we had a bunch of guest speakers. One of our guest speakers is John Gray, who wrote the book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. And when it was John's turn to do his presentation, we were interviewing him. So I asked him a question. He looked at me kind of annoyed. He's like, I can answer that question or I can give the presentation I planned. Would you rather me give my presentation I planned? I was like, oh, sure. Go for it. And then of course he dove deep and spent an entire hour going deep on transmutation of sexual energy. And it was funny because I'm sitting there live on this camera.
There's a whole bunch of people watching this. My face is bright red as he's going deeper into this. And I saw people in the comments like, look at Russell blushing. Look at like, look how awkward Russell feels right now in this conversation. as we were going live for an entire hour talking about it. So it's not the kind of thing I normally talk about, but I have read about it. I have studied it. I do have an opinion on it. And so in this article, when I found this in the last month, I found this magazine and I bought it.
