I'm going to resist the temptation to be snarky and just say this... rich entrepreneurs get rich by conceiving a brand new product that fills a need that's not been filled before or improves upon an existing product that is currently being used. A new technology, a new process, a new way of doing things. Without that, nothing else matters. You can't teach someone that. Look at the marketplace. What's missing? What could be improved upon? What are people asking for that they can't currently get?
You and a professional chef are asked to create a new chicken dish and are given a bunch of ingredients. His or hers is delicious and has people lining up to order it. Yours tastes like shit. Why? Because the chef has the innate ability to understand how to create something from scratch where no recipe exists. Often times this ability is developed from advanced study, working with mentors and working within the industry for many years seeing what works and what doesn't work.
If you have a great idea, you'll have no problem getting the funding. Hire a recruiter. They can hire people for you. A copyright attorney can file the paperwork. All that is easy. What's hard is the idea. Have you spent all of your spare time since you were 14 tinkering with things, trying to build something, create something etc? These people have.
You want to be handed an easy, detailed recipe so you can be rich just like them. Thousands of companies fail each year. Their product wasn't good and didn't work reliably, the market wasn't interested, the design couldn't be scaled up to manufacture in volume, by the time they developed the product, the technology was already obsolete. Yet you only hear about the rare few that succeed and write books or get interviewed and you naively think if they just laid out all the steps, it would be easy for you to do it too. It isn't and you couldn't. Maybe you're the one in a thousand, the wildly creative person who will come up with the next great thing. Odds are you aren't cause if all someone had to do is read a bunch of steps someone else used and then do the same thing, everyone would be rich.

As a successful guy, I'll tell you the exact reasons:
1. Successful people make the most of the opportunities that present themselves. We don't spend a lot of time pursuing opportunity; we just identify the ones that are available. A huge part of being successful is being in the right place, at the right time, with the right preparation. Truly successful people generally don't feel comfortable giving advice, because they recognize how strange their lives are.
2. You need to have a very specific mentality and understanding of reality to be successful. Not many people have it. It represents a huge level of personal motivation, but when you have it; opportunity comes to you. It's extremely difficult to explain what that attitude is. You either get it, or you don't. If you don't, that's fine, but it's not an attitude change that will happen over night.
3. Successful people FAIL a lot. Like A LOT. Like a stupid amount. They fail like crazy, but they learn from it every time. Eventually they get something right, but it's only after they've learned their lessons.
So hopefully this gives you an idea of the problem. You're asking someone who is living in a strange reality, to distill the hard-learned emotional lessons that have defined their twilight-zone life.
They don't tell it because they never know when they will lose all their wealth in something like a market crash and need to implement the strategy again. Also, they know there are other wealthy people that don't like those"started from the bottom" stories and will pay lobbyist to make it illegal for them or anyone else to reach wealth like that again. You can't have a food shop that serves fresh, hot food without several permits and insurance that are costly bills that recur every quarter and or month.

My old pastor used to say - if a guy tells you God made him succeed - or he is just blessed - he doesn’t respect you enough to share the details with you - success is not an accident for anybody - people sacrifice and suffer and work and humble themselves and take risks and invest their emotions and give up things to get there

They became rich by hiding the details and preventing competition. The mindset to have to become rich is to do anything for money. One must love money, and be willing to value it above humans.
Also, insider trading is a real thing, often covered up since it's illegal. Investment tax loopholes exist, and they invest in things such as owning real estate (finite supply item).Because investing is different to everyone... personally I'd go for tangible assets
Most business owners pay advisors to handle paperwork and out of house stuff
Funding most are self-funded or started before the banking regulations changed after the crisis of '08Because what works for one person doesn't always work for another, and to be honest, if you are in my area and I don't want competition, I am not going to help you become it.
Have you tried reading a few books on this? What books have you read?
Bc there is no step by step. The majority were already rich by being born into it. The minority of the rich started businesses that, luckily enough, skyrocketed. It’s about who you know, and luck.
Because they don't want to, they surely became rich doing not so legal stuff
Same resion doctors and lawyers never give diagnosis or legal advice online because by doing so creates a legal issue
Secrets are never meant to be revealed.
It can be fatal to them or their competition.
