Instant millionaires: the secrets of overnight success: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Instant millionaires: the secrets of overnight success" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In this book you will meet three dozen impatient people. They werent satisfied with the slow, plodding, money-saving route to financial security, the safe route that most of us feel stuck with. They wanted instant wealth - and they got it.As Max Gunther points out, our folklore frowns on the idea of quick money. As in the fable about the race between a tortoise and a hare. In the fable, the hare loses. The stories in this book are not fables. They are true. In these stories, the hares win.They are a richly varied lot, these happy hares. Gunther opens with a few dazzling millionaire legends, such as the man who invented Monopoly. Youll then meet fascinating characters such as: Harvey Shuster, who beat the stock market; Howard Brown, who decided to be rich and became a multi-millionaire within three years; and a group of men who made fast fortunes on fads such as the Hula Hoop and the Frisbee.These stores illustrate that the dream of quick money isnt such a ridiculous. . .

Editors Note
Become a happy hare

Why do Levis have rivets? Why was Gone With the Wind almost never published? What is the Second-Man Effect? And why if it doesnt fit should you cut a hole in it?

From the man who saw a mint opportunity to the man who sold holes, from motorcycles to Monopoly to maternity wear, frisbees to fire alarms to franchising, its all here. Max Gunther introduces three dozen people who wanted instant wealth and got it.

Yes, this book was originally published in the 1970s, but the key steps on the route to wealth do not change greatly with time. You still need to be able to spot an opportunity, see a gap in the market or capitalise on the untapped potential of an existing product. The methods applied in this book can be learned from, adapted and applied by anyone today. Plus, you can review Maxs 14 predictive ideas to make a new generation instant millionaires, as he foresaw it at the time and follow his route map to success.

We wish you a lucky route to fast fortune.
