Business. Nonfiction. Economics. HTML:The myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career.
The reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally.

Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills at an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

Michael Ellsberg set out to fill in the gaps by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don't have college degrees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and founding president Sean Parker, WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg, and Pink Floyd songwriter and lead guitarist David Gilmour. Among the fascinating things he learned:

  • How fashion designer Marc Ecko started earning $1000 a week in high school with his own clothing business, and later grew it into an empire.
  • How billionaire Phillip Ruffin went from lowly department store employee with no college degree, to owner of Treasure Island on the Vegas Strip.
  • How John Paul DeJoria went from homelessness to billionaire as founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems Hair Care Products.

This book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world. Even if you've already gone through college, the most important skills weren't in the curriculum-how to find great mentors, build a world-class network, learn real-world marketing and sales, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, master the art of bootstrapping, and more.

Learning the skills in this book well is a necessary addition to any education. This book shows you the way, whether you're a high school dropout or a graduate of Harvard Law School.

What sound better, my friends? To be pushed ahead in business life by nepotism, by family connections, by friend connections, by political or corporate agendas, or being a self-made millionaire? I believe that what sounds better is being self-made millionaire, for being self-made millionaire means that you have to work hard, have to have a certain amount of persistence and discipline, and most importantly have to have an immense desire to work hard and put in a whole lot of effort, even when the times are tough for you, and you have to face several failures and adversities, for ultimately you learn from those failures and adversities, and especially from your own mistakes and not from the mistakes of others, and it's those mistakes that you make and learn from that eventually make you a well-deserved self-made millionaire.
