Book Overview

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."

An honest account from a person who has been there and done that

This book is different from all the other get rich books that I have read because it is written by an author who is truly rich (he's one of the richest men in Britain). Felix Dennis is very honest about what he thinks are absolutely required to become rich, and it's not a walk in the park. It is HARD work. There ARE sacrifices to be made. Desire alone is not enough, you need COMPULSION if you want to become truly rich. ...

But this book !!

Unlike so many of the hucksters out there who made a small fortune through writing books telling others how to get rich, this book is different. The difference being that the author became very rich before writing it. Very rich indeed. If anything this is an anti self-help book. It doesn't sugar coat the truth or pretend that success is for everyone - but it can be! Despite being very entertaining and well written, the...

One of the best RoI you will ever see

This is an unusually insightful and "straight-talking" book. Consider the following nuggest taken from this book: *If it flies, floats or fornicates, always rent it - it's cheaper on the long run *The follow-through...is a thousand times more important than a 'great idea'...if execution is perfect, it sometimes barely matters what the idea is *Many paths can lead to riches, few in sunlight, most in ditches *Paul Getty:...

A quick summary of ideas

I'm almost done reading it, and I would like to say that it's a really amusing book (not the Anthony Robbins type). Some take aways: 1) You gotta really really want to make money, more than you want to be happy if needs be. Be compulsively determined. 2) Don't try to cheat the IRS. 3) Delegate. Hire smarter people than you, and pay them very well, but keep ownership. 4) Get rich. Give it away. 5) Timing is very important,...

Outstanding Business Book

After suffering through a few books by Robert Kiyosaki and even reading the one that he co-authored with the Donald recently, this was entirely refreshing. Felix is an outstanding writer who, in addition to having gotten himself filthy rich, has clearly spent a lot of time with his reading. His review of the matters one must keep in mind while getting to the top, and his refreshing honesty about many of his personal situations,...
