Osborn is the operating partner of Keller Williams Realty and managing partner at private equity group Align Capital. Morris is the CEO of the second-largest Keller Williams franchise, located in Beverly Hills, California.

In their book, they outline how to build sustainable wealth - not the kind you get from a "get-rich-quick formula" - by shifting your mindset, overcoming obstacles, cultivating smart habits, and developing a dynamic business.

"To build awareness and enhance your state of mind, think of someone who is less talented, less hardworking, less smart, and less of whatever it is you are good at, yet has more wealth than you. The odds are that person has escaped the wealth traps," they write.
