How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital The Four Rules You Must Break to Get Rich Audible Audio Edition Nathan Latka Penguin Audio Books Reviews


  • While there are some good examples and rules to follow, the book jumps around from thought to thought even in the same chapters. You can admire what Nathan has done (and I do admire it), practical application is hard to nail down. Plus, he could skip the political narrative that pops up from time to time.
  • The author is not greedy, and is in fact, extremely generous, and does not hold back on the knowledge he imparts. I've barely made it to half of the book and already I'm here gushing over this book because it's an absolute gem. Nathan gets to the point quick, shows proof, and best of all, show you not just what to do but how to do it, in explicit detail. To say it's actionable is an understatement.

    What I really love about the book is the incredible lessons, paired with a grounding in theory and lessons from past masters, then consolidating them into a cohesive package that delivers what it promises. Everything that can be taught to you is taught to you, and you need only apply it. If you fail at these, it's only because honestly, you didn't apply them.

    Not only are the lessons direct, but some can indeed be counterintuitive, and not for the sake of shocking readers, but because it really makes sense. The foundation (like building systems, etc.) are invaluable, and it's like all the greatest and best lessons in the many books he recommends are not distilled but packed into the pages of this book, so you can benefit from all of them.

    I seldom enjoy and learn from a source like this, and so glad to have found it.
  • I met Nathan during my college days when he still was the CEO of Heyo. I knew he was inspiration since the day I met him. This book is totally a Nathan Latka original and this is the new “Four Hour Workweek”. Warning though, it is addicting. I am not sure how long I’ve been reading it now and the only thing that is making me put it down is the dreaded workday tomorrow.
  • When I first read the 4 hour work week I was enamored with the ideas in it, but there was more in the way of generalities and now about 13 years later, things have changed in the world. Nathan's book being hot off the press offers tactical boots on the ground howto's for many different ways to make money and to turn your preconceived notions on their ear. This book doesn't look like much of a story, but has more of examples of how to do anything from buying in real estate to buying SaaS companies. This book is so full of resources like Entrepreneur groups to join, and best books for different relevant topics. I feel like this is a brain dump from Nathan, and it's all gold. I was so surprised to see even an index in the back. Such a time saver. Thanks for writing this book. I'm looking forward to putting this playbook into use!
  • I bought this book because I read somewhere that it was like a Four Hour Workweek for 2019. And it absolutely delivered.

    This book delivered on both big ideas and has specific actionable templates (including un-redacted / minimally-redacted emails).

    This book is not chock-full of self-promotion or useless platitudes, but is broken down into four key rules, explained in solid detail and with specific (and often amusing) anecdotes.

    Reading this really got the wheels in my head about being resourceful, which many say is the ultimate trait of a successful entrepreneur.

    My favorite of the four rules is "Sell Pickaxes to Gold Miners" (e.g. "If weekly food delivery is big, don’t try to compete with HelloFresh and Blue Apron. Rather, figure out the infrastructure that those businesses rely on and offer it to them.").

    If you are an aspiring entrepreneur - or even if you're serious about having a side hustle, I really highly recommend this.
  • Pretty much every word in this book is guided by actual experience the author has had.

    I've read alot of business books and absolutely nothing beats experience as the guiding narrative.

    This book has great hands on advice on

    Don't remake the wheel/invest in what's already working -- how to find and purchase/invest in assets like real estate, local businesses or low cost software companies/widgets that already have traction. 1 out of every 10 new companies survive, why put yourself through that if you don't have to?

    Processorize -- The end goal with these assets is growing revenue with minimal input from you the owner. Nathan breaks down how he does this through creating detail oriented processes that work on their own without human input, or work on their own with minimal input from a low cost skill level you can hire for.

    -------

    Nathan the human being -- Finally, I've known Nathan for many years now as we've both ran companies in the social media space. I can say from experience he's consistently been open and direct in creating value and teaching others how to do the same, with Nathan's The Top Podcast being another great practical example of this.

    Theory is meh. Experience is best. If you've read this far, why haven't you purchased this book?
  • How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital is a great read for making sure that you start off on the right foot during your entrepreneurial journey. Nathan shares secrets and tips that millionaire influencers are utilizing today to build their wealth, including things like real estate hacks and time management tactics used by billionaires. There’s plenty of false information debunked as well as outdated methods that get exposed in this book—which is definitely useful for helping you avoid common mistakes and pitfalls during your path to success. This book is packed with a lot of value and can definitely help you reach your goals faster than you thought possible.
