step one: be more intelligent than most people
behind almost every business, behind almost every professional success and behind almost any success in general that ive seen, is a highly intelligent person. i find it irritating to read because the concept of a guide is spelling things out so that anyone can follow the steps and get the same result. successful people always benefit from high intelligence, money and success will always be unfairly skewed to the benefit of those who happened to be born with better brains and into better developmental circumstances. nobody needs this guide because they are either smart and dont need a guide or dumb and in which case cant use this guide.
