Business brilliant -- Do what you love, but follow the money -- Save less, earn more -- Imitate, don't innovate -- Know-how is good, "know-who" is better -- Win-win is a loser -- Spread the work, spread the wealth -- Nothing succeeds like failure -- Mastering the mundane.

Ask a member of the middle class what it takes to become wealthy, and she'll tell you it takes a bold new idea. Tell that to a self-made millionaire, and he'll vehemently disagree. What explains the difference in mind-set between the self-made wealthy and the rest of us? It's not what you think, as journalist and entrepreneur Lewis Schiff convincingly illustrates through groundbreaking research and compelling storytelling. For decades, the middle class has believed that the road to success meant working hard and playing by rules passed down from previous generations. But as the 2008 economic crisis has made clear, the old rules no longer apply. While household net worth has declined for most, self-made business leaders--entrepreneurially minded individuals born into the middle class who have accumulated significant wealth--have prospered. What makes these have-mores financially successful while the rest of us have never felt more uncertain about our professional and financial futures?In -- doesn't promise to make you rich, it can help you achieve better results in your career and accumulate wealth faster.
