How to Get Rich

Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. When this happens, you can spend a lot of money or waste a lot of your precious resources or relationships on a path that leads you to destruction, both for yourself and your wealth. It is for this reason that so many people have become rich despite never having had a single great idea in their lives. Secondly, they fear that if you should succeed, you will expose their own timidity to the light of day.

Felix Dennis is an eccentric, a character, a legend in his own wine-fueled lunchtime, and let's be thankful for it. What fueled me was the desperation of knowing that unless I found a way around my lack of capital, unless I could pour my energy into a venture of my own, I would be condemned to a life of wage slavery.Felix has intentionally focused on the "getting rich" part in this book – I happen to think that such a starting point has very bad odds for success and that the starting point must be a subject/industry that you simply can't resist – but it’s all written in good humor, and to be fair, Felix stresses the importance of going towards what you are absolutely drawn to as a mandatory requirement. Page 105 is also pretty daft when the author suggests that replacing Pete Best with Ringo Starr in The Beatles, all those years ago, was almost unnecessary. If young and relatively penniless , many will argue their lack of experience and capital (especially capital!

His other interests include breeding rare pigs, drinking French wine, collecting first edition books, and avoiding business meetings. While there are times when you need to keep grinding it out and plow forward with your idea, there are also times when you should give up and try something else. The author seemingly fails to recognise that The Beatles became the world's most successful group of musicians because all four members were geniuses and their manager, Brian Epstein's genius was to assemble the four geniuses. If you are interested in entrepreneurship and financial freedom coupled with some fun – you should read this book. This book will give you the facts, as only somone who made 900 million dollars from nothing can, you are either a sheep or a shepherd.Every Sunday, I share ideas, essays, book recommendations, and other resources that will make your week (and hopefully overall life) a little bit better. When my husband and I started our shoe company, we were, like all other entrepreneurs, completely in denial about what we were in for (despite having both started businesses before).

Unfortunately, as many books promise ''something'' Felix is swift at saying what the reader wants to read, but not delivering it. It seems in the end though, that if you have the self-awareness and motivation to really, really understand your deepest and most heart-felt desires in life, then money is the last thing you'll use your short time on this Earth chasing. The first few million pounds I ever trousered were a direct result of trusting instincts entirely at odds with conventional wisdom of any sort. If we were making "profits," asked the "analysts," weren't we in danger of "wasting" money that could have been invested to produce more "growth"? Felix Dennis (born 1947 in Kingston-upon-Thames, United Kingdom) was a British magazine publisher and philanthropist.This holds true even if talent is placed in the driver’s seat of a small division within an existing operation.

Love of any work, diligently undertaken, no matter what it is, brings contentment and, eventually respect.Everywhere you look, you will find men and women who appear to take perverse pleasure in pointing out the shriekingly obvious: that if a new venture does not succeed, it may result in failure. Especially in the early days of your company, delegation and promotion are among your most powerful weapons in getting rich. By all means photocopy the "eight secrets to getting rich" and stick it on your wall if you are serious about business, let alone getting rich. Felix was a publishing tycoon and the creator of Maxim magazine, so he knows a thing or two about wealth. If you have weighed the odds and find yourself convinced, ignore the protestations of sensible people and their conventional caution.
