My dear boy:
Come in, sit down. I’m glad you’re here.
Most people spend their whole lives chasing money, only to realize they never learned how to keep it, or more importantly, how to enjoy it.
I’ve spent 50 years in business. I’ve made fortunes, lost a few, and built them back again. I’ve shaken hands with heads of state and broken bread with kings.
And if there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that "flash" is cheap. True wealth doesn’t shout.
I started The Millionaire Grandpa because I want to pass down the rules that actually matter. The things they don’t teach you in school and certainly don’t teach you on TikTok.
I’m going to treat you like my own grandson. I’ll be hard on you when you need it, and I’ll give you the cheat codes when you’re stuck.
We’re going to cover:
How to build wealth that lasts generations.
The old rules of relationships and reputation.
How to carry yourself so people respect you before you speak.
But before we start, I need you to unlearn the garbage.
Most modern business books are trash. They’re written by people who make money selling books, not building businesses.
If you want to sit at this table, you need to read the classics.
These 5 books built my fortune. They’re not just books. They are the foundation to many of my philosophies.
Read them. Then read them again.

One last favor: The mailman (Google) sometimes gets confused. Please reply to this email with "Hello Grandpa."
It ensures my letters don't get lost in the junk pile.
Welcome to the family.
Yours sincerely,
