Pssst . . . Wanna Become a Millionaire?
Written by Michael on August 15, 2007 – 2:00 am -Years ago, Srully Blotnick conducted a study of 1,500 people. They were put into two categories: Category A said they would pursue money first and do what they really wanted to do later. Over 1,245 people went into that group. Category B, made up of 255 people, said that they would seek their interests first, and trust that money would follow later.
What happened?
Twenty years later, there were 101 millionaires from the entire group. Only one came from group A. The remaining 100 millionaires came from group B, the group that said they would pursue their passions first and let money come later.
Right there is another clue on how to attract money.
Where is your focus — on money or passion?

If you Google Srully Blotnick’s name (this is the correct spelling…there is no “c” in his first name), you will discover that this study was most likely made up by Mr. Blotnick, as was most of his published “research.” It is a shame that this study gets quoted all the time and influences people’s decision-making. Also, Joe Vitale is the guy who recently said on The Larry King Show that Jessica Lunsford (the 9 year old who was raped and murdered by being buried alive) ATTRACTED her horrible fate. Neither of these two are credible sources about dream jobs or creating a high quality life.

Thanks, Janet, for the comments. I was able to find plenty of links to Srully Blotnick at Google, but none that speak to the falsification of this research. Can you send us a link, please?

Michael,
Look him up on Wikipedia. It will lead you to all the references you need.

Help me out here, Amie.
First off, I’m NOT defending Blotnick here, just trying to sort things out a bit.
1. Wikipedia has its own set of detractors. For every anti-Blotnick blurb on the Web, you can find 50 things negative about Wikipedia and its so-called objectivity.
2. On the Blotnick section at Wikipedia, there are no links, that I could see anyway, to actual objective research or articles on him. There were ’statements of fact’ presented there, but by whom and with what credibility?
