17 Books That Will Actually Make You Rich

17 Books That Will Actually Make You Rich

=========================================

I have read hundreds of books on everything from investing to corporate structure to the psychology of persuasion and here's the truth: 95% of what they tell you is completely useless when it comes to actually getting rich. So let me go ahead and save you the thousands of hours I have spent reading that never actually benefited me when it comes to making money. Now, listen, do not get me wrong, the books I read were wonderful in their own right, they were fascinating, but they didn't help me get rich, and honestly, you have no time to waste. So these are the 17 books that will actually make you rich.

Zero to Ten Thousand Dollars a Month

------------------------------------

The first thing that you really need to understand is that the type of books you're gonna read to go from zero to ten thousand dollars a month will be very different from those that you're going to read in order to hit a hundred thousand dollar months or even make a million dollars a month. So, therefore, I actually divided these 17 books into three categories: going from zero to ten thousand dollars a month, ten thousand to a hundred thousand dollars a month, and a hundred thousand dollars to a million dollars a month. Then I actually threw in a bonus category, which is the books that will help you grow from a million dollars a month to ten million dollars a month and beyond. And honestly, I would say that that is probably the most interesting one, and that's because at that level, macroeconomics actually become the most important thing. That's really when you start to study how the world actually works. You get into books like The House of Morgan, which explains the truth behind the banking system, but we're gonna get to that a little later in the video.

### The Alchemist

The first book on this list almost sets the foundation for everything to come, and by the way, it's also the only fictional work on this list. I'm talking about The Alchemist. Now, this book tackles the very prerequisite of making money and getting rich, and that's having the guts to actually follow your purpose. Because make no mistake about it, it's far easier to never take that leap of faith or to never start that business. So before you can even think about making money, you need to have a very honest conversation with yourself and decide if you're willing to take that bet on yourself and decide if you are willing to overcome the obstacles that come with following your purpose. Because when you're starting from zero and you want to get to ten thousand dollars per month, that is probably the hardest income threshold to reach. And the reason behind that is because everything is working against you. You see, when you're first starting out, you actually need to rewire your entire brain. You don't need to simply make money, but you need to become the person that's worthy of making money. So when I say that everything is working against you, what I mean by that is that the person you once were is at odds with the person that you're becoming. And just like Newton's first law of motion, you're fighting inertia. And in some sense, zero to ten thousand dollars a month boils down to one thing: mindset. You need to adopt that mindset that success is not just a desire, it's a necessity. And that is exactly the lesson of the next book on the list, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

### Think and Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich boils down to the idea that if you're able to conceive it and believe it, well then you can achieve it. And I'd say that's really the first step towards becoming rich, actually believing that you can and realizing that it's the only path forward. The book also talks about another pitfall I see far too often in people just getting started. Often, when you're getting started, you'll get stuck waiting. Waiting for the perfect moment, waiting for the perfect business model, just waiting for everything in order to not get started. And the truth is, as obvious as it seems, is that there's no perfect time. There never was and there never will be. In the beginning of any journey, let alone the journey of getting rich, is going to be messy. And, my friend, that's simply the name of the game. And honestly, being able to navigate through that mess is what will make you successful. And here's where we get to the next book, Atomic Habits by James Clear.

### Atomic Habits

Atomic Habits teaches you how to change your actions and habits in incremental steps. By implementing new habits, killing old ones, and keeping the worthy ones, you can become a person worthy of success. It's about stacking all of your good habits day by day until they eventually become second nature. Implementing Atomic Habits completely changed how I approached my work and allowed me to solidify my habits until they eventually became second nature. Now, let's move on to the next category.
