内容简介 Have you ever wondered why some people attract wealth while others stay financially trapped? The key is learning wealth-friendly, upside-down thinking.
In this
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and
USA Today bestseller, Robert Shemin, one-time "idiot" and currently a multimillionaire, illustrates in a witty way how going against the grain is, in fact, the surest way to gain. Learn how to:
• set only one powerful success goal—and make it a big one
• play while your money goes to work
• stop building someone else’s business and start building your own
• live and think like a millionaire while you’re becoming one
• use the power and smarts of other Rich Idiots to help you join the Rich Idiot Club
Spend just a few pages with Robert and his Rich Idiot friends and you’ll be convinced that “if they could do it, I can do it.”
作者简介 ROBERT SHEMIN has worked with high-net-worth individuals for Goldman Sachs, helped create four companies, and has been involved in more than one thousand real-estate transactions.
编辑推荐 “A breath of fresh air…Robert Shemin brings to this book a powerful personal story that commands attention. He was the class cut-up, the guy who never fit in exactly, an undiagnosed dyslexic who out of survival instinct simply decided to make up his own rules — and, sure enough, riches followed. Shemin’s key insight is that cultural indoctrination robs most of us of the courage to blaze new paths — in fact, breeds a ‘play it safe’ follow-the-leader mentality that can be a financial death sentence. This book is loaded with perspective-altering tips on how to make money outside the rat-race paradigm and leverage the power of relationships in ways no one ever talks about. If you take to heart the lessons in this book, you will find the abundance you’re searching for.”

The Scenarios
It's happened to all of us. You're stuck in the one lane that's not moving when some guy whizzes past in a brand-new Cadillac or Porsche. He flashes a Rolex. Suddenly you recognize him: He's the idiot who flunked out of your school. You studied hard and got straight A's, and now you're sitting in an eight-year-old car wearing a knockoff watch. In that moment you ask, "If I'm so smart, why is that idiot rich and I'm not?"
Or how about this: You pick up a copy of the local paper and see a photo of a guy shaking hands with the governor. Seems he turned his "nothing" business into a holding company. Now he has interests in every major city in the state and about five thousand people working for him. That's when you realize he used to be that kid who always got the change wrong when he came to collect the newspaper money. You never got the money wrong. Yet now the only person who ever shakes your hand is the greeter at Wal-Mart. You ask, "If I'm so dependable, why is that idiot rich and I'm not?"
Or this: You've finally purchased your first home. You and your wife can just about make the payments if you
