None of them learned their most critical skills at an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you’ll need to learn to be successful you’ll have to learn on your own, outside of school.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Ellsberg set out to fill in the missing pieces by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don’t have college de­grees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons and Facebook found­ing president Sean Parker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world: how to find great mentors, build a world-class network, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, and more. Learning these skills is a necessary addition to any education, whether you’re a high school dropout or graduate of Harvard  Law School.\u003c\/p\u003e\"Success in the twenty-first century depends on street smarts, not book  smarts.

Whether you go to college or not, \u003ci\u003eThe Education of  Millionaires\u003c\/i\u003e will help you learn what it takes to succeed in today's  entrepreneurial economy.\" — \u003cb\u003eDale J.
