Comment on If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightenedparent

An update on the book. I'm almost done reading it, and I would like to say that it's a really amusing book (not the Anthony Robbins type). Some take aways (I'm not saying I agree with them all. I could agree, but I'm just saying I'm not saying that.):

1) You gotta really really want to make money, more than you want to be happy if needs be. Be compulsively determined.

2) Don't try to cheat the IRS.

3) Delegate. Hire smarter people than you, and pay them very well, but keep ownership.

4) Get rich. Give it away.

5) Timing is very important, more than talent?

6) Execution is more important than the idea. Just go do it.

7) Self-belief is priceless. Confront doubts for facts.

8) Time is the most important thing.
