<<<finding the right 'niche' is a kind of genius..>>> Yes, but the vast majority of these jobs were plumbers, clothes cleaners, landscapers, etc, etc. What the world would consider boring and meanial jobs. These people just worked hard. <<<just remember that for every guy who was interesting enough to make it in the book, there's probably two dozen boring guys like me: found niche i thought i could exploit and worked very very hard. and at the end, i was 40k in debt, had decimated the IRA and was thinking about moving back in with Mom. i know i made misktakes, and i don't regret the attempt.>>> True. However, another interesting fact, the majority of these people were failures at some point in time. They just kept plugging away. They didn't always succeed at their first attempt. <<<but books about all the failures don't sell .>>> Not yet anyway. Wouldn't suprise me if the author wrote a corallary book on why people fail. You can learn just as much from mistakes as failures. JLC |
