How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital: The Four Rules You Must Break to Get Rich
<p><b>Instant </b><b><i>Wall Street Journal </i></b><b>Best Seller! </b></p> <p><b>You don't need to be Ivy League educated, have money, be creative, or even have an idea to get rich. You just need to be willing to break the rules. </b></p> <p>At 19, I founded a software company with $119 in my bank account. Five years later, it was valued at $10.5 million. I don't consider myself exceptionally brilliant. I just realized something few people know: You don't need lots of money or an original idea to get really rich. </p> <p>Now, I make more than $100,000 in passive income every month, while also running my own private equity firm and hosting <i>The Top Entrepreneurs</i> podcast, which has more than 10 million downloads. This book will show you how I went from college dropout to member of the New Rich. </p> <p>It's time to forget your grandfather's advice. I'll teach you how to be a modern opportunist - investor, entrepreneur, or side hustler - by breaking these four golden rules of the old guard: </p> <p></p> <ol> <li>Focus on one skill: Wrong. Don't cultivate one great skill to get ahead. In today's business world, success goes to the multitaskers. </li> <li>Be unique: Wrong. The way to get rich is not by launching a new idea but by aggressively copying others and then adding your own twist. </li> <li>Focus on one goal: Wrong. Focus instead on creating a system to produce the outcome you want, not just once, but over and over again. </li> <li>Appeal to the masses: Wrong. The masses are broke ($4k average net worth in America?). Let others cut a trail through the jungle so you can peacefully walk in and capitalize on their hard work.</li> </ol> <p>By rejecting these defunct rules and following my unconventional path, you can copy other people's ideas shamelessly, bootstrap a start-up with almost no funding, invest in small local businesses for huge payoffs, and reap all the benefits.</p>
