The first self-help book by authors Kim Jong-bong and Jegal Hyeon-yeol, who created the 'money study' craze with 'This is My First Time Studying Money', 'Money Scenario', and 'Money Comes from You', has been published, 'I'm Ordinary, but I Want to Be Rich'.

This book finds answers in the author's experience of communicating and coaching tens of thousands of people who want to become rich, and discovering the only way to turn "ordinariness" into "asset."
There was a time when I had neither talent nor luck, and the word 'ordinary' sounded like a compliment.
This is why the advice in this book, which unravels the successes and failures, frustrations and recovery processes of not only myself but also many other counselors, feels so realistic.
The 3F model presented by the author in this book is a method to find (FIND), build (FORGE), and become free (FREE) of one's own essence.
In addition to helping you face your current reality and find a surefire path to wealth, this book also includes the know-how of a professional investor who guarantees sure returns to help you alleviate the anxiety that often comes with giving up investing altogether.
Each step is simple and clear, and includes 14 missions such as 'Time Check', 'Self-Declaration', and 'Half-Cut Strategy', designed so that anyone can easily put the method into practice by simply following along.
This book is not simply a book that teaches you 'how to make money'.
This book will help you understand yourself better and reflect on where your life is headed.
Are you currently living a life designed to become rich? For anyone who sincerely wants to answer this question, this book offers a second chance at life.

Detailed image

Into the book
They are not successful because they are absolutely special.
I admitted that I was ordinary.
The flow of ‘time and money’ in that ordinariness
I just found a way to change it.
And I went in the direction these two friends showed me
I am sure you must move forward.
--- p.25, from “The Path to Wealth Found in Cleaning Tools, Not in Business Cards of Large Corporations”
It is wrong to say that starting a business requires ability.
Starting a business doesn't require any skills.
To be precise, everyone already has the ability to start a business.
What skills are needed to start a business?
It's about knowing 'what' to sell, 'the market' to sell in, and 'how' to sell.
--- p.34-35, from “Four Ingredients for Making Money”
The average person can easily understand the biggest markets.
He is a person who can easily discover the value that the market wants.
The saying, “It’s no good because it’s ordinary” shows the value of ordinaryness.
This is what people who have never converted it into money say.
--- p.77, from “The road to wealth begins when you can finish it yourself”
The same goes for starting a business.
Continued from all the footsteps of the past
It means discovering something of oneself and making it happen.
So we already existed within me and we still exist today.
Entrepreneurship must begin from past and present actions, experiences, and situations.
--- p.111, from “Finding My Own Work, Not Other People’s”
To get people to buy, you have to make them decide.
To make people judge, you have to make them aware of it.
To make sense, the story must be consistent.
To be consistent, you have to be accurate.
To be accurate, it must have a concrete form, that is, a substance.
--- p.132, from “A resume that spreads to the world, not the company, ‘Self-declaration’”
Rather than starting a channel late with good writing after a long time of preparation,
Create a channel right now
It's much better to write, even if it's clumsy.
Because in the end, your credibility is not dependent on the quality of your content.
It will gradually accumulate as much as the time of the content you upload.
--- p.197, from "A Clumsy Beginning is Better Than a Perfect Plan, 'Self-Declaration'"
I have been building it up by spending time and effort.
All of this may seem ridiculous at some point.
Everyone dreams of becoming a 'rich overnight'
Because they are afraid of being treated as 'sudden beggars'.
--- p.296, from “So that you do not feel relative deprivation”
When the market is good and everyone is making a profit
I'm happy because I can also see the profit
Even in times when the market is not doing well and everyone is sad,
There is no impatience because it is certain that profits will be made 'someday'.
Split purchase strategy
We can laugh together when everyone laughs
It's a strategy that allows me to laugh alone when everyone else is crying.
--- p.316, from "Split Purchase Strategy: Eliminating Impatience with Continuity"
The story in the book is over, but
Your story begins now.
It's time to put the book in your hands and take action with your feet.
It's your turn.
Your new 'wealth' will begin with this book
It starts now.

Publisher's Review
“Why do I always stay in the same place even when I make money?”
Even ordinary people without talent, luck, or money
The Rich Man's Lessons for Success
Without talent, luck, or money, is it impossible to become rich in this lifetime? "I'm Ordinary, But I Want to Be Rich" is a book for those who dream of a rich life but have given up, saying, "I'm ordinary, so I can't do it."
Authors Kim Jong-bong and Jegal Hyeon-yeol, who created the 'money study' craze with 'This is My First Time Studying Money', 'Money Scenario', and 'Money Comes from You', present a more fundamental life strategy in this new work that redesigns the structure of life and enters the path to wealth.
Although he has not revealed the details in his published books, the author also went through a period of being ordinary, or rather, even the word “ordinary” was considered a compliment, as he walked the path of dropping out of high school, working odd jobs, taking the GED exam, and attending night school.
But instead of despairing and complaining, the author found his own answer and clung to it, achieving financial freedom at the young age of 35.
How on earth did he achieve success? The author, drawing on his own experience of success, spent 12 years communicating with tens of thousands of people to flesh out his method.
They were all ordinary people who followed the methods he taught and achieved their own successes and became rich.
And all those strategies are condensed into this one book.
This book contains the author's most concrete practical methods of transformation, which have helped countless others create their own businesses.
If you are pessimistic and think you can't become rich because you don't have anything, open this book.
It contains all the answers to create the life you want.
“If the structure of life remains the same,
“You will be dragged around by money your whole life!”
For a worker earning 300 won a month to earn 1,000 won a month
3F Behavioral Model, 3F Investment Model
If you are swayed by what others say without knowing your own true nature, you will end up repeating the same mistakes.
So the author says that it is not simply a one-time way to make money, but rather a fundamental improvement in the constitution of one's life.
The 3F law presented by the author consists of three stages: finding one's essence (FIND), building it (FORGE), and becoming free (FREE).
What the author emphasizes here, unlike other self-development books, is ‘finding the essence.’
According to the author, the value of your assets can change at any time as long as you accurately determine your true nature and have a strategy to delve into it.
And that change is ultimately connected to a change in life.
Each step is very simple and clear, so you can easily complete it by just following along.
It provides a 3F action model that helps you discover your own 'karma' in the time you have lived so far, and a 3F investment model that helps you overcome the relative deprivation you feel when you do not invest, helping you not to miss out on both business and investment.
Through this book, you will discover the fastest way to turn your monthly earned income of 3 million won into monthly business and investment income of 10 million won.
The illustrations included in the text help beginners understand, and along with numerous counseling cases, it includes 14 missions essential for each stage, such as 'time check', 'self-declaration', and 'half-cut strategy' that led them to the path of change, helping them become rich with just this one book.
This is not a book that simply teaches you 'how to make money'.
It helps you understand yourself better and reflect on where your life is headed.
If you're satisfied with a monthly salary of 3 million won, are okay with a life of idling around the office without any goals, or don't mind not seeing a path after retirement, then this book isn't for you.
But for anyone who truly wants to get on the path to wealth, this book will open a second chance.
