About this deal
There are other works similar to Dennis’s How to Get Rich, one of which is How to Get Rich on Purpose, a book by a motivational speaker named DeWayne Owens. The opportunity to prove themselves, and sometimes the chance to run the show on a day-to-day basis, will often do the trick just as well. We have all met deeply unhappy souls muddling along in professions or careers for which they are patently unsuited.
Whatever qualities the rich may have, they can be acquired by anyone with the tenacity to become rich. The first few million pounds I ever trousered were a direct result of trusting instincts entirely at odds with conventional wisdom of any sort. While some planning and debate can help you reduce the risk of a business venture, this often leads people to avoid the most important step of making things happen and getting rich — taking action.If you have weighed the odds and find yourself convinced, ignore the protestations of sensible people and their conventional caution. It taught me that I'm not willing to sacrifice what it is necessary to sacrifice to get rich, at least not in the way Felix did anyway.
There is absolutely nothing more likely to dampen the prospects of becoming rich than a nice, fat, regular salary check. The Narrow Road is as deeply philosophical as How to get Rich, but is more concentrated on the negative aspects of having an abundance of money. Worse still, by continually wishing and never delivering, you risk denting your confidence, beginning a vicious downward spiral that appears to draw misfortune like a magnet.Starting a business with the aim to make millions will often mean you’ll be shamefully grovelling for capital early on. 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. Dennis in 1979 because of his brutal insights into what people are about and why they do what they do.
