If Suze Orman were to write a book geared towards people like us, it would likely be a very different message, because our attitudes, goals, and abilities are different than her typical audience.
And that is my point -- that is the book she should be writing because it would be those principles that made her rich -- not what she espouses. "Suze Orman on how to make millions selling books and building a worldwide brand." <-- That's what I want to read!!
I still give poker lessons now and again, and I'm certainly not going to give the same advice to the guy who plays professionally at the $100-200 No-Limit game at the Bellagio as I would the guy who is about to play in the $1-2 home-game and just wants to know how he can make his buy-in last as long as possible...they have different skill levels, goals, and probably different long-term aspirations, and to treat them the same is doing both of them a disservice.
Sorry, but I don't see the logic. You'd be teaching both parties principles that made you a successful poker player. Yes, the advice would be different pertaining to each party, but your advice would be a product of your experience which made you successful in poker. You are a practitioner of your advice. You traveled the road. You've been there.
Suze's money advice is a not a product of what made her successful. Far from it. She is not a practitioner of her advice and hasn't traveled the road, therefore, I will continue to assert, is a fraud.
If she came clean and disclaimed: "BTW, these principles did not make me rich and I have no idea if they will work for you", then this would not be a topic of disgruntlement.
