How to get rich in 2008
By Rob | January 2, 2008
Felix Dennis just published his latest book “How to get rich”. The man is worth $400-800 million. Based on his 30 years experience as a very successful entrepreneur in the media publishing (Maxim, MacUser, AutoExpress, Stuff and other) here is some condensed advice from How To Get Rich
- - If you are unwilling to fail, sometimes publicly, and even catastrophically, you stand little chance of ever getting rich.
- - If you care what the neighbours think, you will never get rich.
- - If you cannot bear the thought of causing worry to your family, spouse or lover while you plough a lonely, dangerous road rather than taking the safe option of a regular job, you will never get rich.
- - If you have artistic inclinations and fear that the search for wealth will coarsen such talents, you will never get rich. (Because your fear, in this instance, is well justified.)
- - If you are not prepared to work longer hours than almost anyone you know, despite the jibes of colleagues and friends, you are unlikely to get rich.
- - If you cannot convince yourself that you are “good enough” to be rich, you will never get rich.
- - If you cannot treat your quest to get rich as a game, you will never be rich.
- - If you cannot face up to your fear of failure, you will never be rich.
