How to Get Rich

Product Information

About your enemy:) The first thing to be done, the most vital thing, is to establish exactly where those weaknesses lie. An immediate balance of weakness may well prove more decisive than any long-term balance of strengths. It is the instict to seize an opportunity when it presents itself that perhaps sets apart the self-made filthy rich from the comfortably poor, the willingness to ignore conventional wisdom and risk everything on what others consider to be folly.

Youth is a further factor. By the time talent is in its mid-to-late forties or early fifties, it will have become very very expensive. Young talent can be found and underpaid for a short while, providing the work is challenging enough. Then it will be paid at the market rate.

Great ideas are not enough to make you rich. That’s because the success of your endeavor is not about the idea. It’s about how you execute the idea and grow it into something that you could never predict in the beginning. Most of the work happens in the execution, so get busy doing something.

Listen, when engaged in serious negotiations. You are in no hurry. Nobody ever got poor listening. Use silence as a weapon.If you have artistic inclinations and fear that the search for wealth will coarsen such talents or degrade them, you will never get rich. (Because your fear, in this instance, is well justified.) Getting rich is a lonely undertaking. Most people you meet with have no interest in it. That’s why the internet is such an important tool to connect with those on the same path you are. Use it to keep up your confidence and remind yourself why you’re on the journey. Money is color-blind, race-blind, sex-blind, degree-blind, and couldn't care less who brought you up or in what circumstances. Money is one of the most neutral substances on earth. Others may conspire against you obtaining it through bigotry or prejudice, but they can only succeed if you let them. Working for others is a reconnaissance expedition; a means and not an end in itself. It is an apprenticeship and not a goal."
