The reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills at an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school. Michael Ellsberg set out to fill in the gaps by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don't have college degrees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and founding president Sean Parker, Wordpress creator Matt Mullenweg and Pink Floyd songwriter and lead guitarist David Gilmour. Among the fascinating things he learned: How fashion designer Marc Ecko started earning $1000 a week in high school with his own clothing business and later grew it into an empire, how billionaire Phillip Ruffin went from lowly department store employee with no college degree to owner of Treasure Island on the Vegas Strip, how John Paul DeJoria went from homelessness to billionaire as founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems Hair Care Products. This book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world. Even if you've already gone through college, the most important skills weren't in the curriculum like how to find great mentors, build a world class network, learn real world marketing and sales, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, master the art of bootstrapping and more. Learning the skills in this book well is a necessary addition to any education. This book shows you the way, whether you're a high school dropout or a graduate of Harvard Law School.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"350\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/leaderself.com\/summary\/the-education-of-millionaires-michael-ellsberg\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"noopener\" alt=\"https:\/\/leaderself.com\/summary\/the-education-of-millionaires-michael-ellsberg\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" class=\"flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[0.5625em] font-medium text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]! transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"38\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"670\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eMichael Ellsberg is an American author, journalist, and public speaker known for his writings on entrepreneurship and alternative education.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eHe graduated from Brown University in 1999 and has since written extensively on topics related to self-education and unconventional paths to success.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eEllsberg's work often draws from personal experiences and interviews with successful entrepreneurs.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eIn addition to \u003cem data-start=\"15\" data-end=\"46\"\u003eThe Education of Millionaires\u003c\/em\u003e, he has authored \u003cem data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"90\"\u003eThe Power of Eye Contact\u003c\/em\u003e and contributed to various publications, including Forbes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clapping Pages","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45255592214714,"sku":"34IDG5LOH-Used","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/e_af9ff2f9-851f-4890-b634-c91e6a29a74d.jpg?v=1764869833","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/the-education-of-millionaires-by-michael-ellsberg-rare-books","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
