How To Become A Millionaire

my illustrator, Daniela Weil, who brought the images in my mind to life and kept her promise to show no mercy if she thought my writing sucked.

First, I would like to thank my editors Stephanie Hashagen, Wintress Odom, and Erin Larson from The Writers for Hire in Houston, Texas for making my message clearer, bolder, and more in-your-face (i.e. upping the F-bomb count).

“It takes a village to write and publish a book.”

The idea for this book was born summer 2015, and the finished work you now hold in your hands took almost two years to complete.

If Paul Alleyne – a black guy from a barely middle class, inner-city, single-parent family – did it…
WHY CAN’T I?
WHY NOT ME?

If you have developed your skills to this level, you definitely have billionaire potential. I encourage you to go after your dreams.

How much money do you have in your control? How many people, institutions, or governments would be willing to give you money to manage on their behalf? Can you allocate that capital to generate above-average returns?
