MIAMI — Randy Gage, a New York Times bestselling author and prosperity expert, has released a new book titled "Wealth Without Apology: A Prosperity Manifesto" that directly confronts the victim mindset he says holds many people back from achieving success. In the book, Gage shares his own journey from a troubled youth who committed armed robbery at age 15 to becoming a self-made millionaire and influential speaker, arguing that anyone can overcome systemic disadvantages by shifting their mindset.
"I was furious at society," Gage says, describing the mindset that led him to pull a gun on a cashier and steal $800. The subsequent jail time, he says, was a blessing that triggered a complete transformation. "Yes, inequality is real. But anyone from any background or discriminated-against group can defy the odds and succeed — and many do — simply by shifting their mindset," he writes.
Gage, founder and CEO of Prosperity Factory, Inc., has generated more than $23 billion in revenue for himself, his clients, and protégés. His new book, published on April 28, 2026, by Prosperity Factory, Inc., is described as a blueprint for breaking free from scarcity thinking. With chapter titles like "The Only Free Cheese Is in the Mousetrap," Gage challenges cultural programming that he says teaches people to feel guilty for wanting more.
The book's core message is that powerful societal forces cannot prevent individuals from becoming prosperous if they are determined. "Powerful, seemingly omnipotent forces like the government, monetary system, and a controlling society cannot prevent you from becoming healthy, happy, and prosperous if you are so determined," Gage writes. He emphasizes that the path requires a dramatic mental readjustment, leading to a choice between victimhood and victory.
"Victimhood offers many perceived benefits, and as tantalizing as they might appear through distorted thinking, you must reject them entirely to become a victor. And the benefits of being a victor are simple but profound: You will live a healthy, happy, and prosperous life," Gage explains.
The book has received endorsements from notable figures, including Dr. Joe Vitale, a Law of Attraction Expert and star of "The Secret," who provided a video review. Gage's background as a former inmate turned success story lends credibility to his message, which resonates with audiences seeking to overcome personal and systemic barriers. His 16 bestselling books have been translated into more than 25 languages, and he has spoken in over 50 countries.
"Wealth Without Apology" is available for purchase at major retailers including Amazon.com and BN.com. The 142-page book aims to reframe prosperity as a responsibility rather than a luxury, urging readers to replace victimhood thinking with prosperity consciousness.
For business and technology leaders, Gage's message carries implications for organizational culture and personal development. The emphasis on mindset over external circumstances challenges conventional narratives about success and failure, potentially influencing how leaders approach talent development, innovation, and resilience in their organizations. As Gage argues, the choice between victimhood and victory is ultimately a personal one, but its impact can ripple through teams and industries.
