Before reading this book further, please read this preface.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone were rich and no
one poor?
If
poverty didn't exist?
If
the only wealth disparities were
whether she had $20 million, he had $7 million, and another one
had $7 billion? Feel free to disagree, but I don't see much merit in
poverty. Sadly, I can't see poverty being eliminated in your lifetime

There
are really
only ten ways to get rich.
This
book details them and shows you
the good and bad qualities of each so you can pick among them and
decide which is right for you.
Then,
the book teaches and guides
you on the basics of each.
It's true
not
everyone can become rich. But it's clear to me
that
most people
can-they
just don't know how.
If
more people
knew how, we would have more rich people and the world would
be a better place.

your part.
