I remember reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and getting inspired by the author's success with his described approach to entrepreneurship and real estate.

I also remember when I found out he wasn't actually very successful until he started selling self-help advice stuff like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."

As they say, during a gold rush the safest way to get rich is to sell picks and shovels. Why go through the risk of running an actual real estate business when you can convince suckers to pay upfront for advice, I guess.
