"When Jay Samit worked with Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Paul Allen, Richard Branson, David Geffen, Reid Hoffman, Elon Musk, and dozens of others, they hadn't yet attained the wealth that made them internationally famous. But Jay thought they did have a few things in common: a belief that the world had changed, the traditional teachings about how to start a business and build wealth were outdated, and a shared set of principles that led them to create massive successes. To test the hypothesis, Jay mentored Vin, an unemployed attendee of Jay's events who grew up on welfare. Under Jay's tutelage but without any monetary support, Vin started a company from scratch and became a millionaire in twelve months. Today's post-pandemic world has created job insecurity, but also massive opportunity for self-starters. It's even clearer that the rules of wealth creation have changed; being entrepreneurial (or intrapreneurial) is imperative. Future Proofing You! empowers readers to adopt the approaches of Bezos, Branson, Hoffman, Musk take control of their own destiny to build success in their lives, just like Vin did"-- |
