How to Get Rich, by Felix Dennis

[LuckyPup]

Great book. But ...

I wish I hadn't read it.

One of the main themes in the book was that the company that suceeds is not typically the first to bring an idea to market but (rather) the company that excels in its execution and does so with speed.

So ... after reading the book ... rather than launching my first project fast ... I spent years getting a project "ready" for a "perfect" launch that ... in retrospect ... should have failed fast.

Oh well.

Won't make that mistake a second time.

Amen to that. Same mistake here.

I read this book when I was in my "Get rich" phase and really didn't like it after the first 3 or 4 chapters- maybe I should give it another read.

I think maybe you might enjoy it. I still have a few pages left to read, too.

Besides the point, but the fact he worshipped Jim Slater and Robert Maxwell left an icky feeling in my mouth considering I loved the book.

Why that "icky feeling"? I'm curious.

Remember Cardinal Virtues in his book? I'm going to list what's relevant in this conversation:

1. Persistence
2. Self-Belief
3. Trust Your Instincts

Perhaps Felix Dennis might meant he worshipped those people due to the virtues?
