Rich people I know, fit into one of two categories. The first is wealth by assoociation through inheritance, family or close friends that have “helped them out.” The second is by working damn hard and taking big risks that most other people would run like hell from.
I don’t know anyone that just casually stumbled upon a boatload of money through an easy side business or online venture. I do know some people that joined start-ups at the right time, but they really fit into the second bucket of working damn hard and taking big risks (most start-ups never see the light of day).
I don’t know anyone that manifested millions of dollars through their sheer desire or just asking for the moola really really nicely. This trick might have worked to get a check-out-counter candy bar when you were a kid, but it ain’t gonna work in the real grown-up world.
I don’t know anyone that magically trippled their income by just hoping it would happen because they are one freaking nice person, and good looking to boot.
So basically, if you want to get rich you are really in for it. Better be prepared to work damn hard. What is damn hard? Harder than you have ever thought you’d have to work. Hard work can be fun, but it still takes time and effort. So next time you see a book with “Millionaire” anywhere in the title, just keep walking by. You don’t have time to read it anyway. You’ve got work to do.

In the words of Skateboard P,
“Wealth is of the heart and mind, not of the wallet.”
Although, I think it is alot easier for him to say that considering he has enough cash to buy small islands in the South Pacific.
