About this ebook
Uncover the secret to financial success with advice from self-made millionaire Felix Dennis.
Felix Dennis is an expert at proving people wrong. Starting as a college dropout with no family money, he created a publishing empire, founded Maxim magazine, made himself one of the richest people in the UK, and had a blast in the process.
How to Get Rich is different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn’t selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. He merely wants to help people embrace entrepreneurship, and to share lessons he learned the hard way. He reveals, for example, why a regular paycheck is like crack cocaine; why great ideas are vastly overrated; and why “ownership isn't the important thing, it’s the only thing.”

This book is one of my favorite biography's and get rich books. He let's you in on what it will take and what to expect when embarking down the path of entrepreneurship. Best line in the book "you will spend countless dark and lonely nights trying to become wealthy, but when your going through hell, just keep on going".

The book reads like the author writes from his heart (which I'm sure is the case) My only regret is discovering, after I was done with the book, that Mr Dennis had already passed on. RIP
