          I've got an idea for one: How to write a self improvement book

          And if , as is likely, that's already been done, then: How to improve a self improvement book.

          The Dragons all seem to have at least one self-improvement type book out there, has James Caan and how he made his fortune as an agent been discussed to death on here yet?

              Don't be silly, he has to get to grips with the thinking bit first. That could take a while.

                Mich,

                I guess that is how we measure the term rich,

                financially, friends, love, interests etc


                even financially, it again depends on one's expectations and how one defines rich, I'm with the Felix Dennis Wealth Guide:

                DENNIS'S WEALTH GUIDE

                Total assets

                £1m-£2m The comfortable poor

                £2m-£5m The comfortably off

                £5m-£15m The comfortably wealthy

                £15m-£40m The lesser rich

                £40m-£75m The comfortably rich

                £75m-£100m The rich

                £100m-£200m The seriously rich

                £200m-£400m The truly rich

                £400m-£999m The filthy rich

                More than £999m The super rich

                Did it make me rich.... I am not yet even lesser rich.

                But I rate the book, hence sharing it with cyber friends on CUK.
