J. Earl Shoaff - How to Become a Millionaire
73Learning How To Become a Millionaire
We all want the American dream; the possibility that any man can come from nowhere and through hard work and talent can go from rags to riches. J. Earl Shoaff is a man who has lived that dream. In only four short years, he created and developed the Nutri-Bio Corporation and became a millionaire almost overnight.
J. Earl Shoaff was born in 1916 to a farming family during the Great Depression. In order to help support his family he decided to drop out of school and go to work rather than pursue his education. An unfortunate heart condition kept him from active military service during the second World War. Rather than simply go home, Earl decided to serve his country by volunteering for the American Field Services and served his country as an ambulance driver and medical corpsman. This dangerous duty not only helped him care for his fellow soldiers, it also put him into dangerous, combat situations where he suffered severe injuries. It was these injuries, in part, that eventually led to his untimely death.
Informed by doctors from early childhood that he was not expected to survive long due to his heart, J. Earl Shoaff decided to adopt a personal motto. That motto was to live each and every day as though it were his last since, in his words, "due to your condition, currently might be all you have!" After returning home from the army Earl put his efforts into doing what he knew best: Hard work, such as weeding, gardening, harvesting and planting. At the time of his death at a young 49, J. Earl Shoaff was not only an inspirational speaker, he was an inspiration who changed people's lives.
Very little is known about J. Earl Shoaff, often called "the millionaire
maker." However, thanks to the friendship and loyalty of Jim Rohn -
who called Earl his personal mentor - more and more people are learning
about this remarkable man. Rohn, himself, is a successful man who, like
J. Earl Shoaff, came from a humble beginning. How, then, did these two

Well, the concept of making money off of other people's money is probably why we have the financial problems we now have in the US. A hedge fund manager is not worth 10000 doctors in any rational financial system.
