Andrew Carnegie is well known for revolutionizing the American steel industry and becoming one of the richest men in history.

What most people don’t know is that Carnegie grew up dirt poor in Scotland until his family came to the U.S. to escape starvation. They arrived penniless, and his first job in America was working at a cotton factory for $1.20 per week.

Yet in 1901 he sold his business, Carnegie Steel Company, to J.P. Morgan for the equivalent of $10.6 billion today — making him the wealthiest man in America at the time. So how did Andrew Carnegie literally go from rags to riches?

It has a lot to do with a little-known "formula" which is routinely used by the world’s most successful people. If you’d like to know how Carnegie used this formula (and how you can too), I break it all down in a short 4-minute read right here:
