In the affluent neighbourhood, the neighbours all hated each other. The other neighbourhood was middle class, 30-50 year old bungalows. A very affluent neighbourhood with multimillion dollar homes. I did this in primarily two neighbourhoods. I volunteered to help pump out water and clean basements. I live in a city that had some major flooding recently. Your comment about asking whether becoming rich is really that important reminded me of a lesson I learned. How did I reach 10k? 4 hour workweek has sold about 1,350,000 copies and has almost ~3k reviews, amazon MJ's book has a little bit 1/6th ~500+ reviews on amazon. He also self published, so he's collecting pretty much most of the income. I won't be surprised if he is well into the 5 digits. Got lot's of review on amazon and sales took off, I don't know his numbers but I betcha it's much much larger than your average technical books. Did he make any money? Nope! Then he got into marketing/sales mode and pushed it, and it sold. I watched MJ write this book, he mentioned he was going to write it on his forum, then he did. You have to hustle and push and sell and sell, so it get's popular. Most authors just write and then sit and hope it get's popular. Make no mistake about it, the business doesn't start until the book is done, the business is not writing the book but selling the book. I'll be going after a market that is large and hot, think books like Harry Porter or 50 shades of gray. You can bet it's not going to be a technical book. I have no interest in writing books, but if I did, and I wanted to make money. The reality is you have to figure out what is going to sell.

By your logic, few people get wealthy off their businesses, so hey, don't start a business.
