With the internet and high tech companies like Amazon selling millions of books with fierce competition from major book retailers Borders and Angus and Robertson,  who would have thought you could still buy a book under a tree -in Ghana, Africa…heres a great story told by a reader that wrote to me.

Dear Brian,

Hi my name is Rudi  and I am currently living in South Africa in a small town called Vanderbijlpark. At this moment I am studying for a Safety Officer due to the fact that I lost my job working for a Engineering Company that only used me to make money for themselves by selling my time. I lost everything because of this matter and I am trying to find my way back starting from scratch. I was send to go and work on a project in Ghana on a Gold Mine installing Crushers and Mills on the mine well that was not a easy task but it was a lifetime experience for me just to see how other African countries operate and the way people are living over there, its not the most beautiful country I would say but still something different as from here in South Africa. One morning on our way to work before we went to sign in at gates on the mine there was this ghana guy standing under a tree selling books for a living and I thought let me just go and have a look to see what he has to offer me. While going through the books I saw this red book with the name written on it How to Make Money out of Thin Air and it immediately caught my attention I then bought this book that cost me Ghc 8 that is 8 dollars more or less. To be honest with you that book changed my life in so many ways just to think how we are selling our time for nothing just to make a living for ourselves. Brian I just want to thank you for sharing all the information given in your book this is really some serious stuff and I believe that this information will help me build my own company one day and then share this secrets with all my colleagues, friends and family.

They say when a student is ready the teacher appears. This gentleman found his teacher under a tree in Ghana Africa…how great is that!
