According to bestselling author Ramit Sethi, successful people are not just born that way. Besides his groundbreaking self-help guide, “I Will Teach You to Be Rich,” he also writes a blog. Plus, he designs online courses to help people achieve the success that he has as a Stanford University graduate.

Sethi constantly gets involved in new projects. He has worked with other bestselling authors, such as Seth Godin and Tim Ferriss, and learned a lot from his experiences with them. With David Weekly and Nathan Schmidt, Sethi helped develop PBworks for companies to build collaborative internal wikis for their employees.

When he is not teaching entrepreneurs and investors how to become wildly successful, he also contributes to charity. The philanthropist raised more than $350,000 in 2015 for a non-profit called Pencils of Promise. That organization’s objective fits well with his goal of making financial education more accessible to all.
