Good points made above.
We live in an era of skepticism - no doubt.
In my opinion, money should not be the ultimate goal. Happiness should be the ultimate goal.
Happiness comes from following your passion in life. If you follow your passion, you will never view your work as "work".
You will have unbridled energy and will do the things necessary to take your passion (work) to the next level.
And, as a result, the money will come.
All of the folks interviewed in "Think and Grow Rich" followed their passion - they didn't chase money.
I wonder if the Doctor's passion is medicine?
Me? I work less than 12 hours a week in my work and get to "work" with Lee Priest, Adela Garcia, Monica Brant-Peckham, Dr. Joe Vitale and others.
I'm not a millionaire but I have a great quality of life, love what I do, create recurring, passive income and spend a lot of time fishing and hanging out with my 2 young boys.
The money will come...
By the way, Vitale is a millionaire and he's been doing what he does for 25+ years. I'm going to his birthday party tonight and will get to see his new Panoz sports car for the first time.
But...Joe will be the first to tell you that the car is not the ultimate goal. It's the challenge (and fun) of creating something (books, courses, dvd's, etc) which help/entertain others and make money while doing it.
As Paul McCartney once said - "I'm going to write a swimming pool".
Thanks, guys.

P.S. I'll ask Lee whether or not he has read "The Attractor Factor" by Dr. Joe Vitale
P.P.S. A little over a year ago, I was working 50+ hours a week for Dell. I was miserable, hated my job, made crap for money and was only helping Dell. Now, as mentioned above, my life has completely changed, making more money than ever with lots of future projects planned and it's because of "Think and Grow Rich", "The Secret",etc.
