Your First Million: Why You Don't Have To Be Born Into A Legacy of Wealth To Leave One Behind, An Entrepreneur's Course by Arlan Hamilton 

non-fiction, business, memoir 

Little, Brown Spark, January 2024 

Underestimated. 

Underrepresented. 

Two labels that apply to millions (billions?) of people who have ideas, dreams, and goals that are often ridiculed and dismissed, that this author reframes in practical ways while offering realistic steps for making progress toward achieving measurable success in business and in life. A combination of candid personal memoir, ongoing entrepreneurial saga, workbook, and encouragement mantras, Your First Million is a must-read for high school and college grads as well as potential and current entrepreneurs of any age or level of success. 

Pros and cons of my library compulsion: 

Pros - saving tens of thousands of dollars by borrowing instead of buying books, movies, monthly fees for streaming services & the return due dates encourage me to read more quickly; awesome librarians, library staff, research resources, book displays, in-branch programs, activities, special events, technology access...  

Cons - okay, nothing bad about being a really enthusiastic library patron comes to my mind 

Happy reading & creating (& simply surviving)!
