YES, YOU CAN START WITH NOTHING AND FINISH WITH EVERYTHING—THIS BOOK WILL SHOW YOU HOW.
Unlock the Shrewd Power of OPM: Command Millions in Capital, Acquire Cash-Flowing Businesses, and Build a Private Empire—Without Using a Single Penny of Your Own Cash.
Conrad Hilton didn’t build a global hotel empire by hoarding a paycheck; he started with a single small hotel and a masterful grasp of credit. Walt Disney didn’t create an entertainment dynasty with pocket change; he famously borrowed against his own life insurance policy to bring his vision to life. J. Paul Getty, once the wealthiest man in the world, lived by a simple, unyielding rule: The richest men don't use their own money—they use Other People’s Money (OPM).
These icons of industry knew a truth that the average person is never taught: Hard work alone will rarely make you wealthy, but leverage will.
You can do the same. You only need the shrewdness to apply the methods laid out in this contemporary guide.
In this updated edition of Tyler G. Hicks’s legendary work, you are handed the keys to the vault. Whether you are a Beginning Wealth Builder looking for your first $5,000 line of credit or an experienced operator seeking a $5,000,000 acquisition loan, this is your step-by-step roadmap to financial sovereignty.
This book is your field manual for the most powerful wealth-building tool ever devised: the strategic use of borrowed capital. Most people are taught to fear borrowing; the Beginning Wealth Builder (BWB) is taught to master it. You will learn how to move from "paying interest" to "collecting profits" by positioning yourself as a professional borrower who knows exactly where the money is hidden and how to trigger the release of those funds.
