Default Re: If I asked 100 self-made millionaires...

My (superficial) understanding/assumption is that these self-help business books are mostly either 1. scams or 2. one particular person's success story, with no serious reason to believe that that particular formula for (their) success is The formula for success, or will work in other circumstances, or indeed will work again at all in any circumstances.

I think this is a very keen insight. A close friend of mine who made his money during the late 90s as an engineer would probably have a completely different "formula" in mind than my other friend who is now running a chain of Japanese restaurants (after going through a failed start-up during the same period).
