Summary
I'm fascinated with stories of immigrants to the United States. If you mentally put yourself in the shoes of an immigrant and then ask how you could become wealthy, even if you started with nothing, you have the opportunity to clarify the actions you can take which lead to wealth.
A listener to the show, Manhar Patel, emailed me and asked me if I was interested in his story. After a bit of back and forth, I invited him on the show to tell his story.
Manhar is an Indian immigrant to the United States who is working to build his fortune. Enjoy his story and take what you can learn from his tips and tricks and apply them to your life.
