<p>John wins the lottery. Playing tickets day after day was his thing. It finally paid off. Deep inside he knew that one day he would have succeeded. John really believed in himself you know. Four months after winning the lottery, he decides to write a book. He wants to help others to become as lucky as him. He believes that his dedication along with all his lifestyle rituals made a difference in becoming rich. </p>

<p>He was thinking that maybe it was his grit. Maybe it was his 6am push-up routine. Perhaps it was his weekly colon cleansing. Maybe it was the spiritual way he came to orgasm through the kamasutra book his girlfriend bought. The organic kale smoothie right before sleep on this slightly elevated natural-made mattress also helped. John was also certain that giving 20 cents every morning to the beggar at the park "aided his chakras" into attaining full luck.</p>

<p>John, much like the rest "how-to-make-lots-of-money-book-authors", is full of shit. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias">Survivorship bias</a> got him my the balls and everyone else that would be reading his book. </p>

<br>
<p>Have you ever tried to write a book about your successes? In all likelihood you are hesitant because you don't have much to show. Perhaps you do have something to show but you are too lazy. Maybe you look at those awesome books from  <em>awesome</em> people like John and you realize that you suck way too much to even try.</p>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<p>The people who choose to write a book always do it after they have become successful. In other words, they describe themselves post-hoc. Something good happens in their life and then they create a narrative about how a series of events helped them to reach their goal. The same events could have resulted in grave injury or financial destruction and they wouldn't have written a book about how much all those strategies didn't work. Yet, they believe that they are unique snowflakes and that they should let everyone know about their awesomeness. </p> 

<p>Personally, I would only take into consideration advice about becoming a millionaire from someone who started writing a book,  completely broke lying half dead in a ditch. If, by the time they issue their 5th book, they are also sitting on a seven figure bank account, then I will take their advice into consideration. </p>

<br>
<p>Making lots of money in life has to do a lot with luck. I know you might be thinking that knowing business fundamentals, keeping a shiny attire and being a smooth talker helps. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Millions of others follow the same social memes and they accomplish nothing extraordinary. </p>

<p>The "millionaire ways" have become quite popular —  from the books of all the "successful" people. Whoever ends up "succeeding" from the middle class is due to luck. There is only so much you can do. </p>

<br>
<br>
<p>People suck at statistics. Believing you will win the lottery or becoming a millionaire by following some strategy carries similar odds. There are so many events that take place around us that either one could be considered a bad or good omen. We always know which is which right after an event has taken place. Someone who has a pot landing on his head, rendering him braindead and someone who has a fat wallet landing on his feet carry the same statistical odds. They are both <em>lucky</em>, depending how one chooses to see things.</p> 

<p>You could be a straight talker and end up alone and broke. You could use the same strategy but happen to talk to people who dig this kind of behavior and become a millionaire. We cannot know how the environment responds to us because it is ever changing. </p>
<center>http://iphonescreenrepairtampa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/fancyline600png1.png</center>
<br>
<p>In all likelihood you will never become a millionaire. In all likelihood all the books you read about becoming a millionaire will make you even more depressed than you currently are. Life is a curious game and the rules are not set in stone. There is no secret recipe or path one can take. There are no formulas and no books to guide you. You are better off reading a novel, watching a movie or scratching a lottery ticket.</p>

You might be right. Then it will only make it worse, when they do everything like in the books without getting results. I think another part is naivety. Being successful economically wont necessarily make you happier.

Being a millionaire may not be all that great.  You spend your entire existence protecting your wealth and trying to make more wealth that you miss life, family and true friendship. Seems like all the rich are the same. Fake!

I totally agree. All those books are bullshit, its just a mean of self promotion, and people buy those books in hopes that some of that "luck" might rub off on them. If you really want to become a millionaire, think of a need that doesn't have a solution yet, and create a product that solves the problem. The more value you give to the world, the more value you will receive.

They are, they really are.

I find that - like most selfhelp books - books that promise you everything you need to become a millionaire tend to just tell you EXACTLY what the author knows you want to hear. They're more about making you feel good about yourself than actually providing any real help. And either way, if there were books telling you EXACTLY and reliably how to make it, we'd all be millionaires - which obviously isn't possible.

My favorite Derek Sivers quote: "If information was all it took, we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs!" 

I find there is a great logical fallacy with many people. They assume that someone who is successful knew what they were doing and following that recipe will produce similar results.

Problem is that those successful people themselves probably won't even be able to obtain the same results with the same formula...

Bill Gates? Very intelligent, very business aggressive, would have done well in any field, but the reason he became so monumentally rich was an equally monumental mistake by IBM... 

A lot of success is due to right place right time effects. Of course there is plenty of competence, work and sacrifice involved but many people who worked just as hard, were just as competent and intelligent got nowhere with exactly the same formula.

I think Scott Adams point of view makes more sense when it comes to success:

Survivorship bias is a big problem with these kinds of things.

They never show any of the plentiful examples of people not making it to their goals. Whether that means failed businesses, or even lottery winners spending all their money.

I take any self-help book proclaiming to give you the ability to get wealthy with a large dollop of skepticism. If their "trick" was so valuable, why would they be giving it away for free?

This entire blog is based on the concept that "success" is achieved only by becoming a millionaire, the truth is u can be broke as f*ck and still be "successful" it depends purely on what u define success to be, if im one day living off the grid with my family, eating fresh food and able to live a life free from stress then i would call that successful, money is fake and has nothing to do with true success.

Hey man I just wrote a lengty comment about this and now you write this! I was hoping you'd come up with some clever math but you dissapointed me from the second half! :)

So let me reiterate: I just wrote a lengthy comment about those positive-thinking books that they are in essence *full of shit*. Just like you said. Why?

If I have $1 and you have $1 and we are the only ones. If I'll sell you a hamburger for $1 you are poor because you have no money and I'll be twice as rich when I was before. *Now* if I were to sell you a *cow* and you already had a bull you'd be poor but *selling* me milk or meat rather soon you wouldn't be poor for a long time. The funny thing is as long as we have things to trade we don't need any money. But money is also a method of accounting and ledger will do just as fine. And thus we could grow our fortunes rather well.

This is of course the ideal story but I somehow don't believe that it could work in this day and age. Why?

Taxes? Regulations? Competition? Too much people and too little resources? So many people doing non-productive work like me writing this comment?

I don't have yet *all* the answers but I'm thinking long and hard to find out. Something with debt being always greater than the amount of money is a hint for why many of us in the world are so poor with no positive end in sight. If it is not a bug it must be a feature!

Also I found this to be quite funny and you are absolutely right!
>Personally, I would only take into consideration advice about success from someone who started writing a book, dead broke lying half dead in a ditch. If, by the time they issue their 5th book, they are also sitting on a seven figure bank account, then I will take their advice into consideration.

LOL, I should start then!

Sure, do your thing. But for *myself* I need proof for how say the monetary system works. It's not even clever math but *basic* math! 

Like if I am a bank and have $1.50 and you have $0.50 and wer are the only ones in the country. Say I lend you $0.50 with 10% interest, now we *both* have $1. 

But *where* will the interest come from? The *whole* economy is just $2. :)

Haha...that is the most epic example of this topic.   "Follow my strategy" to win the lottery.  Completely ridiculous.

There are no guaranteed ways to become a millionaire.  You can practice methods others have used to put yourself in a position to do well, but it does not mean it will happen.

Heck, steemit can be used as a microcosm of that.  There are those that post the same type of content for the same amount of time, yet one may be doing much better than the other because they happened to check a whales attention that became a regular curater of their content.

@kyriacos - I agree. It is very easy to 'find' reasons of one's success in hindsight.  In hindsight, everything that the successful person did seems to 'contribute to success'.    In reality,  many times,  two people with exactly the same strategy, effort and capability may come up with different outcomes just because of one of them was at the right time and right place due to his/her luck.     
If being a millionaire was something people could learn by reading books,  there would have been millionaires dime a dozen.

@dali.soh · Jul 1 '17

well, I would say that reading books only give you past insights of the particular author who wrote the books. Tactics and strategies to employ to get "rich" differs from person to person and they don't always situate OUR circumstances and situation. Let me give you an example:

1. If you are born beautiful and attract a ton of attention of the opposite sex, then it's only natural for you to capitalize on your "BEAUTY" power to make money.
2. If you love science and you spend all your time inventing stuff as a scientist, then you are trading your brains to capitalize on your "INTELLECTUAL" power to make money.
3. If you are athletically-inclined and can run a mile under 5 min, then you are using your muscle to capitalize on your "PHYSICAL" power to make money.

I can go on and on, but you get what I mean.

We all have different attributes and personality that allows us to convert our "power" to money. Many of us also require a lot of time to unlock our "power" through various stages of our lives. The earlier we discover our potential, the faster we can "capitalize" on our abilities. 

A wrong situation, a wrong timing, a wrong decision might set us off on a different path so we'll never discover our "power." 

That's where "luck" plays a role. 

Then again, money is just a medium of exchange. What's the use of becoming a millionaire when there's no services or goods to purchase. 

Just a thought. :D

Almost everything you say here is true, except...

Back in the 1980's Dave Del Dotto and similar authors started writing books on how to profit from Real Estate.  I actually coughed up the scratch and tried it.

I bought several houses with no money down, and even took checks at closing for no less than $17,000 -  on every house I ever purchased.  In 2008 I owned a 4 bedroom house on ten acres, that I paid off in full in less than three years.  

Dodd-Frank and the housing crisis ended all that, and none of it changed the fact that my ex wife decided that house was more valuable to her than our marriage, and now I live in a tool trailer I built from jobsite scrap and a few bedframes I bought at Goodwill.

Life isn't predictable, but not all financial advice books are just bullshit.  Education, skill, and hard work can be used to good effect, but we are not in charge of our destiny.  Strange that, but true nonetheless.

Thanks for being a skeptic.  It is the first quality of a scientist.  The second is humility, and very few scientists can get over how great and smart they are to reach that second quality.  The third quality is being open minded and willing to follow the evidence, even if it goes where you don't expect.

Don't let your knowledge get in the way of learning the truth.

The books were what they were advertised to be, a system that allowed someone with no money to buy property and get paid to do it.  I only know this because, despite my skepticism, I bought the books and did it.

Other people might get such information and not follow it.  I can't fault the books for that.  That I ended up losing everything I ever owned was not the books fault either, it was mine for being in a terrible marriage to a terrible person and putting a fat, juicy reward on the table for betraying me and my kids.

My takeaway from the life I've led is that I am not the author of my destiny.  I am but the protagonist.

These books are designed to generate more income for the millionaire or to help them become a millionaire...as in they may not be worth that much to begin with. I have read soem books that compares millionaires, their not "how to books" per se, they simply evaluate what these people do. Example, the average millionaire drives a practical vehicle...most own a ford truck. They have multiple income streams and send their kids to Junior or regular college vs private and ivory schools. They live below their income instead of on or above it. Anyhow, I found it interesting, better than how to books.

And if he's stopped playing poker, then ask why?  Has enough money?  Then why is he asking you to pay for the information?

Be wary of all financial advice.  Cracks me up to see all these financial guys going on TV and telling folks what to do.

Later and someone else would have developed a better OS. It is only by trying again and again,adapting your ideas will you be successful.

Sorry but I do not fully agree with you. It's not all bullshit what's in those books. You just have to pick out the things that could work for you and apply them on your specific situation. 
I agree that there is no such thing as THE ONLY formula (which some of those writers want you to believe) to become rich. And that two people starting with the same (business)opportunity, each of them winding up with a totally different outcome. One loaded with money and the other desperate and broke. And ofcourse having luck has to do with it also. 
The so called Formula for Succes is not written in one book. You'll have to read several books AND ..... pick out the useful stuff!!
And if that means that for some of those things you lack the skills, start learning those skills! Become better!! 
But that's the problem with most people: For every "promise", there's a "price" to be paid. But not everyone is willing to do so and/or hasn't enough descipline.
It's like Jim Rohn, a motivational speaker and mulit-millionaire said (he's dead btw). He said: 'The money is not important. **It's the person you have to become, being worth a million dollar'**

>"*Whoever ends up "succeeding" from the middle class is due to luck. There is only so much you can do.*"

Now this I emphatically disagree with.

I see it more as being that whoever ends up succeeding are those that know what to do with their own personal and randomly assigned allotment of "luck", be it great or small - i.e. people who are ready for, can recognize, and know what to do with the opportunities they've happened to be lucky enough to come across, as opposed to those who didn't.

I've benefited from opportunities that others were too small-minded, lazy, incapable, or uninterested in pursuing at the time (usually because it would have taken hard work to do so), even though they initially had the exact same "luck" in coming across it as me, and then afterwards hearing people imply that I was "lucky" to have made out as well as I did.

Ummm, no.  We were all "lucky", *I was just one of the ones who actually did something for myself about it.*

Rant now over.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

"Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that made it past some selection process and overlooking those that did not, typically because of their lack of visibility. This can lead to false conclusions in several different ways. It is a form of selection bias."

You have to consider that the only real motivation for people who write these books is to accumulate more wealth.  It's no wonder so many of them are of packed with crap, the authors make a fortune by targetting vunerable people and quoting lines from Captain Sensibles "happy Talk".

When I'm being honest about my success, the foundation has mostly been laid in luck. That being said, certain habits can help cultivate the sort of attitude that makes it easier to be open to success and maintain it if/when it arrives. Whether those habits are contained in "how to be a millionaire books," I can't say.

properties (22)

@kyriacos · Jul 2 '17

not an argument. just a very generic statement. just because there are books it doesn't make them a resource against poverty. youtube videos could make the same argument. just because knowledge exists in general doesn't mean it can do anything. 

check today. even though we have more knowledge than ever 16000 kids die everyday from hunger. Most people on the planet do not have access to food, shelter and clean water on a daily basis.

Absolutely, I'm saying that with the certainty that I live in a free country (and so do you if you're reading this) that allows me to do anything I want because other people before me have put resources in place for me to utilize and survive on, knowledge (i.e. books, YouTube videos, et al) combined with action are more than enough for you, I or anybody else to become wealthy. 

Of course knowledge by itself isn't enough, if it were we would all be billionaires because we have Google, we must take action on the knowledge, otherwise it is useless.

Also, "not an argument" - you don't happen to be a Stef Molyneiux fan do you? Because I certainly am :)

Someone to check out in that category is James Altucher, made millions, lost millions, made them again, lost them again.
