Good for
you, who doesn't. Problem is that the world needs lots of
grave diggers too. The odds of becoming a millionaire are so
incredibly stacked against you, that there is no one in Vegas
or heaven for that matter, who will take the bet.
Most
experts will agree, and unfortunately, so do I, that for you
to get rich, you will have to learn to defeat your old way of
doing things and try something in your life that is completely
different from whatever it is that you are doing now. Is this
an easy thing to do? No, and it is probably the number one
reason why most of us do not get rich. Change equals effort
and effort equals most people not getting rich.
Some of
you reading this book will be inspired and compelled to reach
for the stars and start walking down the long road towards
becoming millionaires. Most of you, however, will not. Sorry
to have to put it so bluntly, but that's the way it is. To
become a millionaire you will have to make radical changes in
your life to give you the edge that will help you to gain
access into this unique club. It can be done. But let there be
no doubt in your mind that those who are already rich have no
desire to let you into that club. To achieve this, you will
have to work hard and make drastic changes in your life to
become a member.
This book
pulls no punches and will spell out for you the way it really
is. You may not like it, but it is the way that it is, so stop
kidding yourself. For the most part, this book will center on
those of us fortunate enough to live here in the good old US
of A. Believe it or not, we live in one of the few places in
the world where we actually have the luxury of being able even
to worry about the fact that we are not so fortunate.
Most of us
complain about the way things are in life, when most of the
time the main thing that is wrong, is that we are too lazy and
complacent to do anything about what it is that we need to
change. Take for example McDonalds.
A few
weeks ago I was reading about how McDonalds opened a new, what
was considered by McDonald's standards, healthy version of
their fast food slop shop in Columbus Ohio. The only
difference between this slop hole and the typical McDonalds,
were a few stationary bikes that kids could peddle in a feeble
attempt to work off the massive amounts of food that they had
just eaten...
Hummm
let's see, that seems to make sense. In the accompanying
picture I saw a twelve year old, extremely overweight kid
smiling and sitting in front of a Big Mac, extra large order
of fries, four cheese burgers, an apple pie and a bucket sized
coke to wash it down with. Now according to the article, Jr.
Bulimic consumed the meal and then burned off 60 of the 2800
calories he had consumed ridding his stationary bike.
Point is
that McDonald's understands human nature better then most
corporations. They know that all they have to do is make it
look like there doing something about peoples health, and it
will give people a reason to justify gorging on McDonalds
luscious entrees. Humans will do whatever feels good,
regardless of the financial and health cost. And that
mentality is the source of many of our flaws.
Is there
anything wrong with that? Well, yes and no. Everything has
become extremely complicated when it comes to living in a
society where the values have been dictated by corporate media
advertising trying to get us all to buy something that we
really don’t need. We are unique in the sense that we are the
first generation of humans who have been completely weaned on
corporate media advertising. From birth to death we are
constantly bombarded with it. That includes television,
newspapers, books, movies, the internet, and anything else
that we purchase to gather what we would like to think is
information.
In this
book I will explain everything that you need to know to
survive and prosper in these tough economic times. I will show
you how you can find ways to avoid some of the financial curve
balls that life throws your way, and how to change what you
can, to become a successful poor slob.
After
reading this book, you should be able to, at minimum, be able
to begin to claw your way to the edge of financial wealth.
After reading my book, you will have no one except yourself to
blame when you end up a miserable failure. Follow the advice
in this book, and you might end up with a million dollars.
Don’t follow the advice; you’ll end up on live at five
climbing atop a rooftop and shooting up the local
neighborhood.
Unless you
are prepared to change, your life will continue to beat you
too a pulp after which the only thing that you will leave
behind, is a small skid mark in the underwear of life.
This book
is not a system to get rich. I make no promises that you will
become a millionaire by reading this book. What I do promise,
is that if you read this book and follow at least some of what
is suggested here then you will at least have a pot to piss in
and maybe some cash left over so that you can begin the long
hard slog to becoming a millionaire.
