> It’s worth mentioning that Tim Ferriss didn’t actually get wealthy by following his own advice. He claims to have built and sold a supplement company, but even when his book was released it was hard to find anything about it. By his own accounts he actually worked quite hard at many endeavors and he also writes about burnout from overwork. Much of his wealth actually comes from good timing on being an early investor in companies like Uber.
It's just not as glamorous nor as profitable writing a humble book on getting rich by being at the right place at the right time through knowing the right people.
- Inhibit 5y agoThe thrilling tale of: Drinking Orange Crush while someone's mentioning this "Uber" thing. And thinking that might make a good longshot investment for the 4k you've made in an anonymous management position your uncle got you. (I joke, it may have been a former college roommate) Yea, I can see how "work less, get rich" makes for a better selling book.
