The only difference is that we're currently subjected to media desperate to sell newspapers and increase viewer ratings. Despite them, being entrepreneurial is fun and well worthwhile. If you're looking for inspiration, read Felix Dennis's book How to Get Rich. He talks about the mistakes he's made and the successes he's had. He doesn't mince his words but he does dispense a lot of words of wisdom. The answer to your question about how the nouveau riche will have made their money in 20 years is much as they always have done, through owning and running businesses, including property. The important thing that these guys know is to be flexible in their approach to business, to have an eye for an opportunity and to get out of something that's not working at the right time. We've just brought in a younger director to our business - - who already has diverse business interests. By the time he's our age I expect him to be a lot wealthier than we are now, just because he's learned the rules about diversity and opportunity earlier than we did. Good luck with whatever you go for Being in business is as old as the hills. The only difference is that we’re currently subjected to media desperate to sell newspapers and increase viewer ratings.

A business is an arrangement that generates money of course. Some 'engines' are better than others. This is the essence of the entrepreneur...The biggest joy for them is the beuty of the thing they have set up: how efficient it is, how well it turns a profit. All other business people are in it for other motivations: Dyson loves design and is creative primarily, Branson & Sugar are good examples: they are not inventors or designers they are good at setting up viable business concerns.

Why not start slow with one thing you really, really like, and see how you get your feet wet, how serious you want to be about it, and if you can do this for the long haul. And as they so WISELY say---Don't quit your day job!!!
