The Inspirational Story of Becoming The Unemployed Millionaire

At just eighteen years old, Matt Morris started his first business. At twenty, he dropped out of college to pursue business full-time. At twenty-one, he was homeless, $30,000 in debt, living out of his beat up Honda Civic and bathing in gas station bathrooms. 

Late one night after showering naked in a church parking lot underneath the gutter runoff from the roof, he made a life-changing decision to re-invent himself and his career. Through his commitment to personal development and modeling the success of others, by the age of twenty-four, Matt was earning a six-figure income as an entrepreneur. At twenty-five he was generating over $100,000 a month through marketing online, and by the age of twenty-nine, Matt was a self-made millionaire. 

His journey to becoming a millionaire was not without struggle. At twenty-seven, after a partnership gone bad, his companies were almost $100,000 in debt. Through his creative marketing and unconventional business strategies, he rebuilt his companies and paid off that debt within six months. 

In January of 2005, Matt became the Founder and CEO of Success University which became the #1 most popular personal development website in the world with over 100,000 customers in 190 countries. After generating over $20 million in less than 5 years, Matt sold the business to a $100 million company.

Matt shares his inspiring story in THE UNEMPLOYED MILLIONAIRE (Wiley, $22.95, October 2009) and explains how to emulate his success. Matt dispels the conventional myth that generating millions requires huge capital investments, years of experience, and long hours working in a stuffy office. The lowering of trade barriers and the technical advances of the Internet have made it possible for virtually anyone to set up a business anywhere and instantly market to hundreds of millions of consumers around the world.

Matt reveals the specific money-making formula he used to earn over $1 million six separate times, showing readers how to turn their own ideas into successful, million-dollar business ventures within 12-24 months—all on their own terms. THE UNEMPLOYED MILLIONAIRE delivers a truly unique, unconventional approach to business success combined with a desirable lifestyle. 

As a dynamic speaker, best-selling author, and young success story, Matt has been featured on national and international radio and television and has addressed audiences of tens of thousands of people in approximately 20 countries around the world. In addition, Matt is partnering with Feed The Children, a non-profit organization that has grown into one of the world's largest private organizations dedicated to helping hungry and hurting people. Last year, Feed The Children shipped 133 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and families in all 50 states and in 34 foreign countries, supplementing more than 760,000 meals a day worldwide. Matt will be donating parts of his royalties of every book purchased online to this organization.
