Andy Fuehl: Author and authority on money and wealth psychology

"There are three things you must do in order to become wealthy.You must have the right mindset, discover your purpose in life, and find a business that expresses that purpose."

By reading this, you’ve proven you already have the right mindset for wealth. Have you discovered your purpose in life? And are you in a business that expresses that purpose? Here’s a simple test to find out: do you loathe Mondays and have a spring in your step Friday afternoon? If that describes you (as it does for most Americans), you have yet to discover your true calling. Keep searching. Your entrepreneurial guru, Andy Fuehl, will be your guide.

"Prosperity belongs to those who learn new things the fastest."

For years I’ve heard people say, “I try to learn something new everyday.” In today’s competitive marketplace, that’s simply not enough. The wealthiest, most successful people learn volumes of information everyday. Most devour several non-fiction books a month, read as many newspapers as they can get their hands on, align themselves with educated people, and listen to audio programs whenever they drive. It’s a thirst that can never be quenched. So, how thirsty are you? Paul Zane Pilzer, the millionaire-making guru wets your whistle.

Ric Edelman: author of "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth," financial guru.

"Rich people start off as poor people. The difference is they take the nickels and dimes and they invest it — they didn’t spend it all at the mall."

Life is a habit — a routine — a blur from one day to the next. And when you piece all of your little habits together, it shapes who you are as a person. The key is making the right habits stick and shedding yourself of the bad ones. Therefore, before you can even start investing, building wealth and putting money in the bank, you need to first put the right habits into your mind. Then you’ll be far ahead of most Americans, who will still be working when they should be retiring. A no-nonsense plan can help grow your wealth. Ric Edelman, best-selling author, nationally recognized TV and radio host, and financial guru, has just the plan you need.

Thomas Schweich: attorney, author, and esteemed risk-avoidance lecturer

"Overnight sensations are usually not really overnight sensations. They’re people who worked very hard in a structured and methodical way to get where they wanted to go."

Remember how much you made when you first entered the workforce? If you're like most, your pay has increased substantially — just as your responsibilities have. Now, what if you forced yourself to live on what you brought home when your career was young? In just a few months, you would begin to amass significant wealth. It's the most basic wealth-building formula which very few are able to grasp: The further beneath your means you live, the higher your wealth will grow. Thomas Schweich — attorney, author and esteemed risk-avoidance guru — shows you how to get there and stay there.

Phil Tirone: Author, Credit Guru

"Your credit score: Those three little numbers can have a six digit impact on your life."

If your boss told you that you could get a promotion and a pay raise, but wouldn’t tell you how to do it, you would probably look for another job. If your doctor told you that your health was in grave condition, but wouldn’t reveal how to save your life, you’d find a new doctor. These scenarios describe the credit industry to a "T". There are many ways to improve your credit score and help your finances, just as there are many ways to damage your score and ruin your finances. Nobody in the credit industry tells you how to do either – but now one man WILL: Phil Tirone, your credit guru.

Anthony Robbins: American self-help writer and professional speaker

"Passion is the genesis of genius."

Do you know anyone who is an "empty genius"? Empty genuises seem to have the right answer for any question. They have an abundance of intelligence — yet they lack passion, energy and determination. Therefore, they will probably never live their dreams. Contrast that with someone who has a fire in his or her belly, a passion in his or her eyes, and lives every day to prove it. That person will not only succeed, he or she will usually surpass the empty genius in intelligence. Anthony Robbins lights your fire.

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

Do you know where to find the best fishing spots? You'll usually find most fish where you find the most obstacles: rocks, roots, brush, wreckage, and near banks and dams. Novice fishermen can't see past the obstacles and will spend their day battling the debris rather than fishing. The pro, on the other hand, never loses sight of the big catch and therefore skillfully maneuvers around any obstacles. No matter what big fish you wish to land — more income, a better career, a more accomplished life — never take your eyes off it. Or the "big one" might just get away. Dan Sullivan teaches you to fish like the pros.
