I am currently in the process of reading Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki`s "Why we want you to be rich", and the message is loud and clear. I am a fan of books and the style this book was written with is magnificent! And it tickles my brain, giving me a thought: To create a book written by entrepreneurs of all ages and various success levels that give their personal story. I understand this concept is in books across the globe, but to add a twist: One book written by 5-10 entrepreneurs who went from rags to riches and to detail their specific paths to success.

I am reaching out to entrepreneurs who where previously in the mold of Middle Class or Poor Class America, who are willing to and would appreciate detailing their personal entrepreneurial story that brought success. I have affiliated myself with a well known publishing company and distributor and am ready to speak specific details with those who meet this thread.

The majority of the books on shelves across the world and nation are written by those of great recognition and it is hard for alot of readers to relate to where these writers came from. But it is my mission to identify with the readers so they develop more confidence and motivation to explore their options from converting rags to riches.

If you meet this mold please respond!!! I look forward to all of your posts!!!!

Hi!

What a cool idea about your book! I`m not successful yet, but I think a key part of your book could be about the motivation that being poor/middle class can have on starting your own business. I come from a family of hard workers that always had great ideas/talents that were hindered by their daytime gig. They kept their day job because they had to survive. Seeing that when growing up can have a serious impact on your career outlook. There are probably many entrepreneurs that have experienced a similar thing.

Robert Kiyosaki`s "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is another incredible book that can change the way you think about money. I`m reading his guide on investing right now.

Yeah, my parents always said get a good education and find a good job.  Never mentioned the possibility of starting a business.  That mindset had to be learned and it was a very slow process.  I was 27 or 28 when I finally had it.  Some kids nowadays have that mindset in high school.  Crazy.  In high school I wanted to work for a fortune 500 company.  How could I have been so misguided?  My children (if I have any) will be taught the virtues of self-employment.
