Ramit Sethi

Ramit Sethi is one of the first guys I started to follow online. If not the first. He’s an online entrepreneuer, bestselling author and all-around top dog.
Ramit has grown to be a major force on the internet. He started his blog, iwillteachyoutoberich.com, in 2004. From this blog he has grown an online empire.
If at first he was more concentrated on personal finance, he’s now teaching hacks and systems in many areas of life – productivity, mindset, psychology, negotiation, building a business etc. And of course, finance.
Ramit Sethi is all about systems. He likes to crack the codes and automate. I think his love for systems and automation has been a key reason why he has been able to grow his business way bigger than most online entrepreneurs ever will. A lot of entrepreneurs hit the ceiling as they don’t realize they have to systematize their businesses.
What separates his blog and courses from many other creators is the practicality. He gives concrete, often simple, but clever tips that anyone can use to improve their lives.
And he definately knows how to write a compelling copy and keep you reading. It makes sense to check out his course “Call To Action” (link below under “Products” section), as he teaches copy in that course. Especially if you are just starting out and you want to sell your products online.
Often making fun of himself, especially of the young Ramit, he seems to have a great sense of humor.
Over the years, Ramit has built quite a lot of different information products. I have listed them below. And more business focused second blog – growthlab.com.
(Awesome) Introduction from Ramit’s website
I know you have a lot of choices in who you read, so I know I have to earn your trust with every post I make. If you’re curious, here’s a little bit about me.
From dorm room to New York Times bestseller list
I started this site while I was studying technology and psychology at Stanford. Since I came from a middle-class family, the only way I could afford college was to pay my own way. That’s when I built a system to apply to 60+ scholarships. My hard work paid off and I earned enough to attend Stanford. But when I got my first scholarship check, I invested it in the stock market…and immediately lost half my money. Oops.
That’s when I decided to learn how money really worked.
While I was studying psychology and human behavior at Stanford, I saw all these “tips” that financial experts kept throwing around—like “Keep a budget” and “Stop spending money on lattes”—I realized most of it made no sense. And like that book, The Emperor’s New Clothes, I realized experts loved to tell people what to do…but nobody was actually doing it.
Be honest:
- Almost nobody keeps a budget.
- Almost nobody wants to cut back on lattes.
- Who wants to be told what they CAN’T do with money—no new shoes, no vacations, no going out with friends?
Instead of saying “no” to spending on everything, I wanted to use money to say YES. I knew there was a better way to live a rich life—if we could use psychology to focus on what actually works. Not just for personal finance, but all aspects of life: money, careers, relationships, business, fitness and more.
Since then, I’ve been testing and sharing my findings with the world via I Will Teach You To Be Rich.
I’ve also written a New York Times bestselling book, been profiled in a 6-page Fortune article and pictured next to Warren Buffett Forbes Magazine, and have been featured by a long list of media, including the Wall Street Journal, ABC News, NPR, Fox Business, PBS, CNBC and more. I also have more documented success stories than anyone else I know of—more than 20,000 at last count.
Why this material works
I recently got a fascinating email from one of my readers. I had emailed my email list, asking “What’s something you CLAIM is important…but you don’t do?”
She wrote back, “I keep saying I want to run 3x/week, but I can never seem to do it.”
I replied: “Why not start once a week?”
Her response was amazing. “Why would I run once/week? That wouldn’t accomplish anything.”
She would rather dream about running 3x/week than actually run once a week.
All of us “know” what we should be doing: We should be saving more, working out more, getting paid more, having better relationships with our friends and family…
So why don’t we do it? Could it be that we don’t just need more INFORMATION…and instead we need to master the psychology and systems that will help us do what we ALREADY know we need to do?
