It's a lot harder to quit your job and shed your belongings without a back up plan, like make a ton of money selling books.

And ever had a six figure job to begin with. Sure. People like that are probably going to have more connections making it easier to sell the books to finance the changeover to a job free life. Easy peasy! You can do it, too! If you're a recent ex-six figure earner who can buy cheap land. No prob. That's everyone.

Not being sarcastic. If that's what you want for yourself, go for it. I was just mentioning the fact that his books sales likely had a lot if not most to do with his success. I think for most people selling everything they own and quitting their jobs is going to have a much different outcome. They should stick to his advice about cleaning out closets and decluttering for self improvement.
