Napoleon Hill is considered a controversial figure due to accusations of fraud, particularly a documented case in 1908 where he fled Alabama after being accused of scamming lumber suppliers by selling lumber for cash and not paying his debts.
His claims of meeting Andrew Carnegie and being an attorney are also doubted by historians, who question the veracity of many of his life stories and biographical details. [1, 2, 3]
Evidence of fraud and questionable claims
- Lumber business fraud: In 1908, Hill was involved in a lumber business in Alabama where he purchased tens of thousands of dollars of lumber on credit but sold it for cash and never repaid his suppliers. He fled the state when the fraud was discovered, notes EBSCO. [1]
- Questionable claims: Historians doubt many of Hill’s assertions, including his claims of meeting Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney, says Wikipedia. [2, 3]
Counterarguments and defenses
Defenders of Hill’s legacy
argue that his life story, despite the controversies, best illustrates the effectiveness of his success principles, as detailed in books like The Gospel of Napoleon Hill. [4]
Focus on principles:
Some proponents focus on the enduring success of Hill’s philosophical principles, such as those outlined in Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success, as more important than the accuracy of his biographical claims. [4, 5, 6]

Yes, you can — but there are two main ways, depending on what you mean by “add a business email address” to a Google account:
✅ Option 1: Use your business email as the primary Google login
If your business email is something like you@yourdomain.com, you can:
- Go to accounts.google.com/signup/v2/webcreateaccount.
- Choose “Use my current email address instead.”
- Enter your business email (e.g., you@yourdomain.com) instead of a @gmail.com address.
- Google will send a verification link to that address.
- Once verified, you can use that business email to log in to Google services like YouTube, Analytics, Ads, Drive, etc.
🟢 Good for: Using your professional email without creating a new Gmail inbox.
🔴 Not for: Using Gmail as your email host (you’ll still receive mail through your current mail provider).
✅ Option 2: Add your business email as an alternate or alias
If you already have a Gmail account and just want to link or send mail from your business address, you can:
- Go to Gmail → Settings → See all settings → Accounts and Import.
- Under “Send mail as,” click Add another email address.
- Enter your business email and SMTP details from your hosting provider.
- Gmail will send a verification code to your business address.
- Once confirmed, you can send emails from Gmail as you@yourdomain.com.
🟢 Good for: Managing all emails in one Gmail inbox.
🔴 Requires: Access to your domain’s mail server (SMTP settings).
✅ Option 3: Use Google Workspace (paid option)
If you want your business email fully powered by Google (so it works exactly like Gmail but with your domain), you can:
- Go to workspace.google.com.
- Choose your plan (starts around $6/month per user).
- Set up email hosting for yourdomain.com via Google Workspace.
- You’ll then have an email like you@yourdomain.com running on Gmail, Drive, Meet, Calendar, etc.
🟢 Best for: Businesses that want a professional, secure, fully integrated Google setup.
