The myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The reality: The biggest thing you won.t learn in college is how to succeed professionally.

Everyone needs education to get ahead. But what kind of education is most likely to lead to your own financial and career success outside of school? Michael Ellsberg, author of "The Education of Millionaires: It's Not What You Think, and It's Not Too Late" has spent the last year meeting, interviewing, and learning from the world's most successful people, mostly millionaires and billionaires, who didn't complete college and who educated themselves in the real world of business. This lecture distills their secrets, with applicable real-world strategies for self-education that anyone can apply to get ahead in their career.

"The Education of Millionaires: It's Not What You Think, and It's Not Too Late" debuted as an instant best-seller and was named to multiple "Best Books of the Year" lists in 2011. Ellsberg is also the author of "The Power of Eye Contact: Your Secret for Success in Business, Love and Life."
