How To Get Rich

I have been meaning to do this post for a while now and after some recent communication with a number of other bloggers who are lacking in focus *coughPBcough* I felt it a rather fitting time.

‘How To Get Rich’ is a book I recently read by the author, and self made multi millionaire (in pounds sterling) entrepreneur, Felix Dennis. No idea who Felix Dennis is…then allow me to explain.

First and foremost, Felix is the Chairman(CEO) of Dennis Publishing - a multinational publishing company responsible for such great titles as Maxim, Stuff, The Week, Computer Shopper, Auto Express and many many more. He is a rather eccentric poet who has amassed a personal fortune of £750 MILLION along with properties in London, Connecticut, New York and the Caribbean Island of Mustique to name but a few.

Anyway, his personal story alone is quite a tale but, ‘How To Get Rich’ is focussed on his business dealings and how he made himself rich beyond most peoples dreams! IMPORTANT POINT - before you all switch off and start with your ‘oh, no…not another how to get rich quick book’ attitudes - this book is like no other.

You are probably wondering why the shameless plug here? Well I want you all to think about something and this is one of the reasons I bought the book to start.

You all want to make money online right? and you all want to get rich (as quickly as possible no doubt)? If you are someone who has read every make money online book/ebook and it’s still not working then here is the twist…try something else! This is not another ‘how to get rich quick’ book, but an open and rather frank look at how Felix Dennis did it. It’s a business manual, it’s an eye opener, it’s a motivator and it’s even a very good read! If you want to get rich on or offline then you need to have the focus and the mindset to start. If you can expand your horizons to seek out valuable information from those who have proven themselves (regardless of the sector in which they did) then you can take that knowledge, combined with your enthusiasm,work ethic and personality to any given situation…including making money online.

As much as I hate the phrase I think you will all understand what it means to ‘think outside the box’. So don’t waste your time following those ten page ebooks on ‘how to make money online’, get out there and learn something! Absorb as much of that information as you can, add your own personal touches and then apply yourself.

I had underlined so very many snippets I wanted to share with you but I then realised that I found so much value in it that I would have re-typed the entire book so all that needs to be said is…..I have not read a more perfect book on ‘how to get rich’.

On that note, I am going to go and apply myself.
