In 2010, 2011, and 2012, it was not worth it. I don't care if I make a billion dollars off of this. The depression that I went through because I've never really failed at anything. This book business is so outside your control. These people, like 50 Shades of Grey, they have absolutely no control over the success.
#10: OMG! It's Tom Corley, the RICH HABITS guy!
Jay is having a heart attack. Tom Corley studied self-made millionaires and poor people to come up with some interesting results. He wrote about it in a story called "Rich Habits".
Tom shares his story of being well off as a child before his dad lost everything. Then he worked hard to bring himself up to not-broke status and on to becoming an accountant.
After studying some of his clients he expanded to 233 self-made millionaires and 150 poor people. The results of those studies were very telling - but nobody really cared about it.
Then he got a break when Farnoosh Torabi did a segment about the Rich Habits on Yahoo Finance. The rest is history in the making.
Watch for Tom Corley's new book - Change Your Habits, Change Your Life - which gives more of the "how to" rich habit change. You can find it at http://ChangeYourHabitsBook.com
