At the turn of the twentieth century there were less than 5,000 millionaires
in the United States. Today there are between 1.3 and 2 million millionaires,
as well as more than 40 billionaires. And, as Brian Tracy points out, the
remarkable thing about them is that they are largely unremarkable. "The
wealthy are not very different from you and me," he says. "They simply used
their God-given talents and did things a different way than the majority of
people do. Anyone can be highly successful if he just does certain things in
a certain way."
In Getting Rich in America , Brian tells you those all-important
"certain things" and how to do them in certain ways. And he knows what he's
talking about. He has started, built, managed or consulted for, more than
300 businesses, large and small. At age 25, he built a 95-person sales force
covering six countries, doing more than $1 million per month. He was chief
operating officer of a development company with $265 million in assets and $75
million in annual sales.
