If you're reading this, then I'm guessing you're NOT a Rich Idiot (not yet anyway!).

Right now, you're most likely what I like to call a RUB – "Right Side Up and Broke."

Now, please don’t take this as an insult. We’ve ALL been here, me included!

What I mean by this is that when it comes to wealth, the world is upside down. It's NOT what you know, it's what you DON’T know that is the key to financial freedom. You see, individuals whom society defines early on as "smart" are good at taking direction and following orders, but lousy at giving themselves orders – and extremely lousy at taking charge of their own lives.

Meanwhile, those who never fit into the system because they want to drive the bus themselves turn out to have the PERFECT internal skill set for building wealth.

This explains why that boy who barely squeaked through school or that girl who wore those weird clothes went on to build successful businesses and substantial fortunes that you later read about in magazines!

So which one are you? Do you have the mentality of a “RUB” or a Rich Idiot?

In my latest book “How Come That Idiot Rich And I’m Not?” I’ll walk you through my ‘Rich Idiot Wealth Test’… a series of simple questions that will reveal your “wealth IQ” and show you how well wealth “sticks” to you.

Introduction There was a time when the call center was seen as a place where phones rang endlessly and agents simply answered questions. That picture has changed dramatically. Today the modern call center sits at the center of customer experience, quietly coordinating returns, managing fulfillment concerns, and shaping how customers feel about every interaction with a brand. Instead of reacting to problems, teams now guide customers through complex journeys. Their role has gr
