Filthy Rich to Get Real Wealth?
"Well if that's all there is my friend let's keep on dancing, let's break out the booze, let's
have a ball, if that's all there is."
You don't let up on me, do you? Okay, okay. You're not satisfied with getting to be filthy
rich. You want to get REAL WEALTH. Okay. I'll tell you. But I have to warn you: What
I'm about to tell you will radically change your life. For the better.
If you've followed me this far you may have inferred from my breathless enthusiasm that
money is it. It isn't. Money is simply the fuel for the journey. Our real destination is

bankrupt or nearly so who have enormous wealth in terms of their ability to bounce back
and achieve personal assets in the millions, tens, even hundreds of millions inside a few
years.
How is that possible? How is it possible for a person with negligible cash assets to start
from zero and achieve assets in the millions in two, three, five years? And if it is truly
possible, how can I do it? Let me tell you, it is possible. It's all in your attitude, and my
purpose in writing this book is to help you acquire the attitudes that will make wealth fall
into your lap. As Will Rogers said: "Most folks are too busy making a living to get
