Uniquely Insightful; the real deal

Felix Dennis has written the wisest, most entertaining book on business success I've ever read. It is the antithesis of a Tom Peters seminar or a Tony Robbins video (although I have never seen the latter, only his infomercials) and reflects with astonishing accuracy the path to success that most entrepreneurs must take. It's not about becoming a great manager, and it isn't about ginning up your motivation every day. You're either driven to get rich or you're not. And if it isn't a compulsion (Chapter 8: The Five Most Common Start-Up Errors; The First Error: Mistaking Desire for Compulsion), not only are you not likely to succeed; you probably shouldn't even try. Reading the book was an immense pleasure, as I found in it so many shared mistakes and insights. Getting rich is, after all, less about managing and more about controlling your fears, hiring smart people, watching the cash and pouncing on opportunity, among many other things Mr. Dennis defines and describes. Paying large bonuses but not sharing ownership flies in the face of the current experts, but actually works very well. Ownership is for the guy who gambles it all and has to fight the nightly demons of prospective failure. Had I been able to read this book in the first few years of building my own business, I'm sure my accomplishments would have tripled. I will enthusiastically send a copy of How To Get Rich to anyone I meet who thinks great personal wealth is his or her destiny.

Excellent Read

There are a lot of great ideas for business development in the book. It is not as much a how to book, as a here is the way it is book. The author is frank and honest in his approach to business. He does not blow a lot of sunshine up your backside. No get rich buying real estate, or positive thinking "Secret" type tripe. He is rich from business, not the business of telling others how to get rich. There are no pitches for seminars, or free reports, just solid advice.

I enjoyed the use of poetry and quotes in each chapter, the one take away is "Many paths can lead to riches, Few in sunlight, most in ditches".

Well worth the time to read if you enjoy business books.

Money and Poetry

Toward the end of this entertaining book Mr. Dennis says that being rich will not make you happy. On the next page he asks readers to think of him as a rich poet "sitting in one of the most beautiful houses on earth, staring at a turquoise sea, sipping a glass of ...Chateau d'Yquem..."
You've found paradise Mr. Dennis and it's all thanks to your accumulation of a ton of $$$$. The rest of us are promised paradise in the afterlife if we are humble enough but the very rich can get it now.

Great Read!

Enjoyed the book immensely especially the personal stories. The advice is right on if hard to hear. Look forward to a detailed biography (or autobio) of how this ex-hippie who spent time in jail became one of UK's richest men but please no blind items - name names! How did Bruce Lee really die? (No time to locate second hand copy of out of print book, just say it)! Otherwise, Great stuff highly recommended.

Great book!

I read it twice, highlighted, and underlined key paragraphs and sentences. Enough said. Go RUN & get it!
