How Sharon Lechter’s Marketing Genius Sold Over 27 Million Books

by / ⠀Entrepreneur Interviews / October 31, 2011

At Under30CEO one thing that we appreciate is great marketing, but what we like even better is when the person behind the “marketing genius” tells us that the product sells itself.  This is exactly what Sharon Lechter does.

Sharon Lechter is Co-Author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series with Robert Kiyosaki and has released a new book called Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success.  This book was originally written as the sequel to Napolean Hill’s Think and Grow Rich in 1938, but was never released.  Sharon re-wrote the book for an updated generation and will be speaking in New York at the Under30CEO event on the 60th floor of the Empire State Building.

Take a listen to Sharon and hear about how she has started a grassroots movement to solve financial literacy…

Come see Sharon Lechter speak at Under30CEO in New York where she’ll be signing her book Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success.
