Got rich during a real estate boom period and otherwise plays the Warren Buffet game (wait for bubbles to burst and buy fundamentally valid/strong investments when everyone else is selling, wait for markets to rebuild).

Wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad which is a solid read that isn't too complex or boring. Essentially, the rich buy assets (investments, businesses, stocks, bonds, investment real estate, education for "worthy" pursuits etc.) and the poor buy liabilities (shiny new car leases, non-investment properties, student debt for useless passionless pursuits, etc.).

Finally, he's a former marine and while 90% of the time he plays the "I'm rich and smart card" once in a while he lets the marine out and cusses/swears/drinks/calls people pussies, etc.

I used to work with someone in your exact same situation, OP. He did achieve some *moderate* success, but I'll be 100% honest with you - no one took him seriously and there is no doubt that his voice/accent held him back from going any further.

Additionally, outside of work at social gatherings where co-workers could talk freely, he was referred to as "the guy who acts black," or the "guy who tries to sound black."

He would also occasionally let his ghetto out, and on top of the accent would refer to another co-worker as "homeboy," or something - like this:

"I haven't seen the update file yet - do you know if Daniel sent out the email?"
"Ah yeah, homeboy shot that out bout 2 awaas ago"

Give me a fucking break. Typing all this out to let OP know he sounds like an nonintellectual ape and I would shred his resume.

Underrated post. This is actually fantastic advice for any job (just replace strippers with co-workers).
