The Education of Millionaires

Description

Many hugely successful people never finished college-what did they figure out that others didn't? Everyone knows that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to start the companies that would make them billionaires and change the world. But there are plenty of others who figured out a path to real success without finishing college. Michael Ellsberg interviewed a wide array of self- educated successes, from self-made billionaire John Paul DeJoria, who took himself from homelessness to vast wealth in hair care, to Felix Dennis, founder of Maxim, which revolutionized magazines, to Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress, which revolutionized the Web. Ellsberg draws on these entrepreneurs for their most powerful insights and highlights the key principles they rely on for educating themselves and achieving success in the real world. He shows you: • The mind-set that separates self-made entrepreneurs from cubicle- jockeys and middle-managers • How to design a career that earns you money while connecting with your deepest passion • The secret to connecting with high-powered, influential mentors.
