Summary of How to be a Capitalist Without Any Capital.

Nathan Latka's How to be a Capitalist Without Any Capital is thought-provoking in every sense of the word. This college dropout puts forth his ideas on the rules he broke to go from a 19-year-old with $119 in the bank to having a company valued at over $10.5 million. His philosophy is that following conventional wisdom will not get you to the top. You don’t need to be exceptionally brilliant, you just need to know which rules to break to join the new rich.

It is a refreshing take on the “self-help” and “business” genres in that it doesn’t just say you need to “get more income” to become rich. Latka goes over precise examples of what tools you can utilize the minute you read it. Nathan does not hold anything back in this book, and he goes over every single one of his income streams in detail to paint a clear road map of exactly how to do it. This isn’t some “feel good” book that will tell you to follow your passions. This is for people who are ready to put these principles into action, and this audiobook explains exactly how to break these four rules:

1. Focus on one skill
2. Be unique
3. Focus on one goal
4. Appeal to the masses

Informative, entertaining, and valuable, Nathan Latka tells us why we should start investing in our local food trucks and stay away from financial advisors, how to get a free hotel stay with simple negotiations, and how he got a company to pay him over $12,000 to take over their business.

In this summary, I will walk you through all of the ideas and concepts worth remembering, as well as a detailed summary of every chapter.
