Today I want to tell you about a remarkable group of people. These are regular men and women—just like you and me—but they’ve all done something spectacular: Each one of them went from being nearly dead broke to becoming a multi-millionaire—overnight. How’d they do it? Well, it turns out, they…
I crack up when I hear that question... For one thing, while I’m pretty well off, I don’t think of myself as “rich.” I’ve got a few friends who are “rich.” They’ve got 9 or 10-figures in the bank. But aside from their high net worth, they’ve got something else…
