Dennis Kimbro

Dennis Kimbro is brave enough to ask questions.

He's spent his entire career interviewing peak performers all over the world, and gleaning the best ideas, strategies and success principles from their words.

Dr. Kimbro studied the methodology of Napoleon Hill, author of the phenomenal international 1930s best seller "Think and Grow Rich." Inspired, Dr. Kimbro decided to do what Hill had done. He developed a survey to use among peak performing Black Americans. Two years later, he learned from the Napoleon Hill Foundation that Mr. Hill himself had written nearly one hundred pages on the very same subject in the 1970s. Left incomplete, it turned out to be Mr. Hill's last manuscript. After a personal meeting with the late W. Clement Stone, then-president of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, Dr. Kimbro was commissioned to update and complete Hill's original manuscript. "Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice," the results of Dr. Kimbro and Hill's efforts, distills the secrets of success contained in the lives of peak performing Black men and women, and reveals how readers can use these keys to make their dreams come true.
