The author became a millionaire as a early teenager, made his second
million by sixteen, and defied his background raised by a single
parent in the impoverished south side of Chicago as the youngest of
five children. His success was tied to attitude, tenacity and a
rejection of the common lies about money and success - and GET REAL,
GET RICH identifies seven lies and tells how to overcome them in real-
world situations. It's an inspirational game plan for success that any
general lending audio library needs.
