That is an interesting take on things.  I bet buying lots and lots of 
lottery tickets CAN make you rich too.  There is that word again 'can'.  
It has a variety of meanings and is sometimes even used a noun, but it 
should never be confused with 'will' no matter how much you wish it to 
be so.

As an asside, remember that people who have the power to make one rich 
will use it in their behalf first.  So if you go to a copywriter or 
lawyer who is not particularly rich, chances are pretty good he has not 
yet discovered how to become rich.  Even if you do happen to find a rich 
one, there is no guarantee that they can make anyone but themselves rich.

Having had mixed results from dealing with both copywriters and lawyers, 
I just could not resist getting on the soap box I seem to have tripped over.

Last but not least, do not agree to cut them in for a percentage.  
Insist on a one-time fixed fee.
