I've had the most wonderful experience…

I've had the most wonderful experience with NHI through my participation in both daily and weekly study programs. These programs have helped me keep my vibrational energy high. Both, teachers and facilitators, have been amazing and I'm so grateful for their support on this journey. I'm looking forward to the future and even more positive results.

One Decision Changed My Life

Over the years, I have invested heavily in coaching, personal development, leadership training, and transformational programs. Many of them have helped me at different stages of my life, and I am grateful for what I learned from each one.

What I can say with complete honesty is that every dollar I have invested through the Napoleon Hill Institute has been returned to me many times over through the growth, opportunities, relationships, and transformation I have experienced.

The Institute didn’t just teach me principles. It taught me how a single decision can change the direction of an entire life. It helped me transform my relationship with money, wealth, possibility, and personal responsibility. As I applied what I learned, my financial life improved, my confidence grew, and I began to see tangible results in areas of my life that had previously felt out of reach.

The principles are powerful, but what makes this Institute truly different is the people.

In a world where many personal development organizations treat people as numbers, customers, or transactions, my experience has been very different. I have consistently felt seen, valued, encouraged, and supported.

Cliona O’Hara’s leadership is a big part of that. Her vision, her heart for people, and her genuine commitment to helping others grow have created something very special. The culture she has built goes far beyond personal development—it is about transformation, contribution, and helping people become who they are capable of becoming.

My journey eventually led me to become a certified coach through the Institute, and I am deeply grateful for everything I have learned and for the impact these teachings continue to have on my life.

For me, this has been far more than a program. It has been a life-changing journey.

NHI is a gift that keeps on giving

My first encounter with NHI was in October of 2024. I was depressed, angry and confused. I started with the daily discipline camp, and just that one change transformed my life. In 2025, I started creating a daily video, that was posted on several social media platforms, with my NHI buddy. Today May 2026, both of us are enjoying a fulfilling life. We are unrecognizable.

Life changing programs

I cannot recommend the Napoleon Hill Institute highly enough.

I've been part of the Women's Collective, and am working through the Science of Getting Rich, and I start most mornings with their daily meditation group calls — and the impact across all three has been profound for me.

The coaching is of a very high standard. These are people who live the work, not just teach it, and that authenticity comes through in every session. The Women's Collective has created a community of inspiring, ambitious, soul-driven women that I now genuinely consider part of my inner circle. The Science of Getting Rich rewired how I think about success, purpose and self-worth. And the morning meditations have become the most grounding part of my day.

What sets the Napoleon Hill Institute apart most, though, is the people behind it. The ongoing support is unlike anything I've experienced with other personal development organisations. The staff genuinely care. You're not a number, you're not a transaction - they are wholeheartedly motivated to see you succeed.

If you're considering joining any of their programs, don't hesitate. You won't regret it.

I will forever be grateful for the…

I will forever be grateful for the teaching of Napoleon Hills philosophy and success principles in Napoleon Hill Institute. I see the Napoleon Hill Institute and Cliona O'Hara, Dan Matthew and the other teachers as very competent and with a great knowledge. We can all read a book or we can read many, but if we don't integrate what we learn then it doesn't change much. Here I found a great community where we help each other to rise up and to integrate the principles and create a better life for ourselves. It has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

Life-changing insights

I have learned an incredible amount from Dan Matthews and Cliona O’Hara through the many events I’ve attended over the years. One of the things that has made the biggest difference in my life is understanding how important it is to master our emotions and become aware of the beliefs that shape our lives.
When we learn to manage our emotions instead of being controlled by them, and when we challenge limiting thoughts and patterns, it creates far more freedom, peace, and meaning in life.
Dan and Cliona have a very grounded, inspiring, and genuine way of teaching that truly makes a difference. I’m deeply grateful for everything I’ve learned through their work and would highly recommend their events to anyone seeking personal growth and a better quality of life.

Class action lawsuit is forming

I was one of the founding members of NHI in New York in 2023 (I wasn't able to enter a date for my review for any earlier) along with many others. My experience was that a lot was promised, but very little was actually delivered. Just empty promises and hype. No actual couse or material to follow, just Zoom calls mostly led by members because Cliona ended up crying and pushed it onto them to lead it. The founding coaches themselves disbanded from the programme before it even launched.

To give some context I'm a successful businessman. An entrepreneur with a global business of 10 years. I'm not someone who's just stuck and looking to improve my life. I got involved with the Napolen hill institute after I was very much convinced by Dolly Cina.

Fortunately, I chose not to commit further money early on after investing $10,000. Unfortunately, others weren’t as cautious and ended up investing much more some losing tens of thousands (including coaches) based on promises of financial success and lifestyle improvements that never materialised.

I have emails and recorded calls, including one where a refund was discussed but ultimately never followed through. At one point, I was told directly that issuing a refund would create a wider problem because others would expect the same.

I’m sharing this so people can make informed decisions. If you’re interested in Napoleon Hill’s teachings, I’d strongly recommend going directly to the original books or recordings rather than relying on third-party programmes that are essentially pyramid schemes ran by people with no business acumim or integrity.

Please do your due diligence before committing money to anything like this or anything else from Cliona O' Hara or her contacts.

There are over a dozen of us building a legal case against Miss O'hara and her company. Including past coaches. If you would like to join us please find me on Instragram at Jakehero7 (don't be scared you have nothing to fear. The truth always rises to the top.

Thank you J.F, for taking the time to share your perspective. We take all feedback seriously, but this review contains significant inaccuracies and omits important context about the reviewer's own involvement and obligations with our programmes and training.

Out of respect for confidentiality, we won't address the specifics publicly. What we can say is that our records - including written communications and financial agreements - tell a very different story from the one presented here.

We stand by the work we do, the coaches we've trained at the same enrollment, and the members who continue to benefit from our programmes & certification.

Prospective members are always welcome to speak with current participants directly or reach out to us at hello@napoleonhillinstitute.com with any questions.



Kind regards,
Cliona O'Hara

A TOTAL SCAM!

A TOTAL SCAM!

It's called the Napoleon Hill Institute, but it's Cliona O'Hara Coaching. She licensed the name from the Napoleon Hill Foundation; the foundation is all about the money, if you have the money, you can license it. If you have the money, you can license.

The organization is filled with empty promises, the environment is hostile, and Cliona is an emotional ticking time bomb. The teaching from Napoleon Hill is good, but you can get the book. Please don't waste your money on their mentorship or on becoming a coach. They can't even get it together. How can they help us with our business? A bunch of fellow NHI coaches and I wasted $18K with empty promises. We have all requested refunds, and we are prepared to take legal action; however, we are aware that it is not going well. So save your money, and don't walk into the scam like we all did. It's spiritually damaging and goes against the principle of the teaching.

Thank you for your review.

The Napoleon Hill Institute is properly licensed through the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

Over the past three and a half years we have delivered comprehensive curriculum, certification, and we offer over 30 live classes per week, all of which are recorded and are on file for replays for the coaches who do not complete their training.

Our founding coaches also received a five-star in-person training at the Andrew Carnegie Carriage House in NYC, A Historic event at Andrew Carnegie Mansion in New York, & a Black Tie Gala celebration all as part of their enrollment.

Many of our Certified Coaches have since become best-selling authors, professional speakers, and respected voices in their industries.

While - I do agree our certification process is of a higher standard for graduation and requires commitment follow through and excellence - we will not lower our standards for anyone looking to take a shortcut for their diploma.

The individual posting this review is known to us, and the matters referenced are being handled through the appropriate legal channels. You will see this individual has a habit of posting 1 star reviews and calling businesses scams. I suggest they study the principles again.

Anyone with genuine concerns, or anyone considering NHI who would like to speak with me directly, is welcome to email hello@napoleonhillinstitute.com.

we have over 200 testimonials of gratitude and praise for our work and results.

With respect,

Cliona O'Hara
Co-Founder & CEO, Napoleon Hill Institute
