Most people think that to be wealthy, you have to be lucky enough to be born into the right family or work miserable, soul-crushing hours, sacrificing years of your life. Being lucky is not a strategy, and neither is destroying your life. Emmy Sobieski learned the secret strategies of the self-made mega-wealthy and outlines how to recognize opportunities, create your own luck, and build that kind of spectacular success in your own life.

One success strategy outshines the rest: leverage. Leverage gives you the power to use what you have to get what you want. Emmy spent years working in demanding, high-stress jobs and used leverage not only to manage billions of dollars on Wall Street, but also, simultaneously, to become ranked nationally in several competitive sports, including bodybuilding, equestrian, and track and field. Most importantly, she was happy while she did it all.
