This book is the culmination of 15 years of re-
search, teaching, and personal experience on the
subject of self-made millionaires. These pages contain
the key ideas and strategies I have discovered in read-
ing hundreds of books and thousands of articles on the
subject of wealth accumulation. The ideas and strate-
gies are presented in a simple, tested, proven, easy-to-
use format so that you can learn and apply them
immediately.
When I was a teenager growing up in Pomona,
California, in a home where we never had very much
money, my dream, my fantasy, was to be a millionaire
by the time I was 30. Lots of people have the same
dream, I’m sure.
However, when I reached the age of 30, I was still
just as broke as when I was 20. Then I did something
that changed my life. I began asking, Why are some
people more successful than others? I especially
wanted to know, How is it that some people start off
with nothing and eventually become millionaires?
