Ken Fisher wrote a lively 'how to' book on getting rich. Unlike most books, which present only one formula, Ken offers ten: "manage other people's money, marry rich, be a sidekick, be an athlete or entertainer, become a CEO, invest in real estate, enter the legal field, start a business, invent income, and save and invest wisely" (p. xiii). No matter which route you choose, note the list of books on page 120 on selling yourself, a fundamental skill for any path.
If you find yourself in a leadership position, Fisher urged readers to lead from the front, acting in ways that followers can emulate--working the hours that they work, flying the class that they fly (coach or business), and working as a team. If you occupy the middle class with a average job and salary, Fisher recommends that you save and invest in stock, in up times and down. With compound interest and stock growth, you will increase wealth.
