Marhsall Brain has posted a talk that he presented at Duke University on How to Make a Million Dollars. Within the talk he presented several ways to make a million dollars. His key point was that you need to create a business in order to have a chance at making a million dollars (unless you have $5/day and 42 years to spare). Very interesting read. I was most interested in some of the book recommendations he had, as I've already read and/or heard the same basic points from many other people. If you're interested in making a million bucks just go to the site, within minutes you'll be on you're way. Ok, yeah, I'm lying. There is some interesting stuff though
