Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was born to a white family in St Michael’s, Barbados. Regardless of whether they were wealthy at his birth (accounts differ), his father and brother became so – the Goddard corporation is now a multimillion-dollar enterprise.
Neville would later claim that this was because both of them would relax every morning and visualise exactly how they wanted their day to go – and so it would, business meetings and all.
But at 17, young Neville was bitten by the showbiz bug and emigrated to New York. There he became a dancer and broke into vaudeville. Unfortunately, he did so just as it was giving way to motion pictures.
