  • Most people have never really thought through, logically,

  • the landscape of how people get rich,

  • and the different ways, the positives and negatives of each,

  • and how that might apply to them.

  • Books about getting rich are mostly about some version

  • of what I refer to as "The One Road Among the Ten Roads",

  • known in my book as "The Road More Traveled", the most common way people get rich,

  • which is the "Save, be frugal and invest well."

  • The road may be easiest for you because it fits you.

  • And one of the reasons to read the book

  • is because I go into a great deal of detail about what's necessary on each road,

  • what it takes, what it doesn't take,

  • examples of people, both famous and not famous, with it gauged in the process,

  • and you get to see what it takes to do that

  • and you can decide for yourself,

  • is that going to be something that's mre easy than another road

  • for you individually.

  • One really basic road is starting a company.

  • The very richest people in the world started a business.

  • Another is to become the CEO of an existing business.

  • A third is a category that I define as a ride-along.

  • This is the person who's always there for that person

  • and as that person succeeds, gets pulled to riches.

  • Then, a perfectly obvious road that most people laugh about whenever I mention it,

  • but is to marry well.

  • People have married well forever,

  • and I'm not talking about marrying somebody you don't like for money.

  • I'm talking about how do you marry somebody you love that has money.

  • How to be a celebrity for money.

  • Another is simply the process of inventing income.

  • The chapter teaches you how to invent concept of income.

  • Another is to become a real estate baron. That's perfectly obvious.

  • Another is what I call "Stealing it legally", which is how to be a plaintiff lawyer.

  • Then there's simply "The Road More Traveled" as I refer to it:

  • Be frugal, save, invest, get a good return.

  • Then there's what I refer to in the chapter as OPMers.

  • This is other people's money.

  • Other People's Money is the entire realm of managing assets, being a banker,

  • being a stock broker, hedge funds.

  • It's the whole world of something to do with collecting a fee from doing something

  • dealing with other people's money.

  • So those are basically the roads.

  • They offer a wide diversity of opportunities and therefore,

  • because it takes varied skills to do these things,

  • they address a wide array of different types of people who do them.

  • Starting down a road doesn't mean that you have to commit your whole life to it forever.

  • Starting down the road allows you to see: "Is this something I like?"

  • "Is this something I do well?" "Is this something that fits me?" and "Am I succeeding at it?"

  • And if you are, and if you do, then you keep pushing that further

  • and you stay on the same road. If not, you try over again.

  • And the book is full of examples of people who tried one, failed, came back, tried again.

  • If you look at the people that have become mega-wealthy over time,

  • they became mega-wealthy over times of both boom and bust.

  • There's nothing about bad times that precluded people from going down any of these roads.

  • Many, many people can get rich,

  • who have never thought they could, simply because they didn't know how.
