About this listen
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 in 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 cofounder 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 $1,000 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 clerk with no college degree to owner of Treasure Island on the Vegas Strip.
- How John Paul DeJoria went from homelessness to billionaire as the 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 on 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, whether you're a high school dropout or a graduate of Harvard Law School.

Story
Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

We live in a hierarchical world where experience has traditionally been the key to promotion. But that period is over! Straight, clear-cut career trajectories no longer exist. Industries disappear, job descriptions change, and people's interests and passions evolve. The key to riding this wave, entrepreneur James Altucher advises, is to constantly be curious about what's next, to be comfortable with uncertainty so you can keep navigating the rough waters ahead, and most importantly, to pursue the things that interest you.

This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold coauthor Sharon Lechter, this book is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

He named this phenomenon - the distance between what we should do and what we actually do - "the behavior gap". He found that once people understood it, they started doing much better.

Great Ideas, poor execution

Yes
Any additional comments?

Great Reference for Anyone Who Hungers for More
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is an audiobook I would recommend to anyone interested in entrepreneurship. The Education of Millionaires is well-documented, straightforward and insightful regarding what society teaches the middle class about becoming a millionaire - or doing well in life with a college education - and the truth about who really does become successful and how.
What other book might you compare The Education of Millionaires to and why?
I wouldn't compare this book to another book, but I would pair it with Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. This book is just as motivational, insightful and inspirational.
What about Erik Synnestvedt’s performance did you like?
He spoke true to the brand of the book.

Pretty good Book for teens
Part of me feels like if you dont already know most of this and you are past your mid twenties, then youre probably beyond saving. Hopefully im wrong and this book may be an eye opener to people who still buy into the castle in the sky that is higher education.

Well Worth Your Time
Great book. Well written and nicely read. Author offers a load of insight into why the idea of a college education (and graduating with mountains of debt) is no longer the "best choice".

Interesting stories insufferable narrator
I wanted to hear more about the behaviors of millionaires but I couldn’t finish this because the narrator sounds like Louis Winthorpe III in the Trading Places movie. I disregarded the other reviews about this as silly or petty and bought it anyway. At first it was funny, then it was grating, and finally unbearable. I stopped and started multiple times but the nasally voice and tone sounds like an actor who was told to portray a snob. Overall stars for as far as I was able to make it in this book though.

I stumbled upon this book by accident and I am glad that I did!Lots of useful info and insight into how successful people became successful.

Even if you did go to college you can learn something from listening to this analysis and hearing some very unique stories.
What did you like best about this story?
Sales,Copywriting,Marketing, and positioning advice on how to get ahead. Stories of successful people I had not heard of before that can be contacted. Lots of great tips and biographies for those interested in getting to the next level.
Have you listened to any of Erik Synnestvedt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I have not.
Any additional comments?
2 Parts to this download. Listen at 1.5x speed. Get it, its worth it. After you listen to it, pay your Kid 20.00 to listen to this then turn in a book review.

Paradigm shifting
While the narrator seems robotic and monotone in his delivery, his stories and example ignite paradigm shifting thoughts and specific ideas on how to become successful in life. I'm particularly interested in the marketing references made and the simple mindset shift of how an entrepreneur should view reality.
