A publishing tycoon explains how to get rich!
 

I just came across this article by British publishing tycoon, Felix Dennis... He started a magazine empire in the UK, and nowadays is worth somewhere between $400 million and $900 million...

Here - he explains how to get rich!

If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened (by Felix Dennis)

In a nutshell, his advice is...

- Fear of failure will keep you poor...
- You have to grow a "thick skin" - thick enough that you can shrug off any mockery by people of your "inevitable failures"...

Hope you enjoy the article!

Coincidence Dien?
 

Hi Dien,

Funny you should mention Felix.

I am currently on pg 50 something of his book titled "How To Get Rich"

Those articles are straight from the book.

So far, it is one of the better books on wealth that I have read. I particularly like his definitions of wealth.

If you get a chance to read it.

Do so! :->

Hi Duane,

Thanks for mentioning this!

I hadn't heard of Felix Dennis's book until I read through that article... But the book looks like a good one. I notice it gets good reviews on Amazon... :)

Please let us know more what you think of it when you're finished!

In case anyone is curious, I'm currently reading "Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life" by Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff. It's pretty good! It's fun to read (and it does make you think!). This book is actually required reading for a lot of MBA degrees, I've noticed... :)

By the way, one book I highly recommend which I read not too long ago is "Lucky or Smart?" by Bo Peabody. He's the co-founder of Tripod (I think it was the "original" service that let you create free web pages, like Angelfire and the others...). He's also a serial entrepreneur, and pretty successful. I don't agree with everything he says (he thinks entrepreneurs are "born", not "made" - I disagree totally)... But he has some excellent observations I haven't seen stated so starkly before.... :) This book has changed my approach quite a bit...

Cheers,

Dien
