Full of Platitudes

Quick slick impractical get rich guide. Alot of assumptions about 'great' rich people. Alot of the rich are very selfish, they need to be. But we all have greatness inside. The law of physics does not allow for unlimited resources and so called infinite abundance that the authors feel we should expect in an unlimited universe. Not very practical.

A great story line combine with practical lessons
|
The first thing I have to write is that if you are able to ignore the obvious Americanism of the whole book, this is a fabulous mind-set changing book on money.
A clever book, it is written as a fictional novel on one page and a practical step-by-step lessons learnt on the other page. And it really does work well together.
The essence of the story is of a Mother who has her children taken away from her on the death of her husband. She makes a bargain with her in-laws that she will raise $1 Million in a very short space of time. She finds a Mentor by pure chance who agrees to help her do it.
If you are looking for a quick fix to make money, then this is not your book. But if you want to explore how your beliefs and mind set can affect your potential, then have a play. Don't take the book seriously, listen to the lessons behind it and have fun doing it too.
I was recommended this book by a business colleague of mine, Christine Clacey and was so pleased to have been introduced to it. I read it from cover to cover in a matter of days!

A tried-and-true money making compendium
|
|
If you liked Chicken Soup for the Soul, you'll love this book, and some of its tips may even help you make some extra money and maximize the money you have. It is an unusual collaboration between Mark Victor Hansen, Chicken Soup's co-author, and Robert G. Allen, author of several books on getting rich in real estate. The book is half novel (on the right-hand pages) and half collection of self-help and investing advice (on the left-hand pages). Both the motivational fiction and the guidance are clear, though often familiar and a bit simplistic. The self-help and money-making tips evolve from standard get-rich books, spiritual manuals, real estate investment guides, management literature and pop psychology, but they are well-compiled and linked with supportive commentary. The most compelling tips involve giving, not getting, which is a nice twist. The book has a little of everything, from poetry to great quotations, so it resembles a deluxe pizza with many scattered toppings more than a nourishing bowl of mom's chicken soup. We say dig in, if that's your dish.

Wow!! So easy to make a million? Yep...
|

After reading this book you would believe so too, especially how a million today is easier to get today than let's say 10 or even 20 years ago. Think about it one way is to get a product / service and charge £20 per sale, you then need 50,000 orders (repeat or one offs) and you have a £1,000,000.00 or charge £97 per sale and get 10,310 orders or £250 get 4,000 orders etc etc How long it takes is not the issue, the end result is a £1,000,000.00 This is the thought I came away with once finishing the book. And you? Once finished reading what will your million idea be and how long will it take you to achieve it? The book is two books in one. The left pages are about wealth thinking principles and the right hand pages are about a lady having to find $1,000,000 in 90 days or lose her two children to their paternal grandparents using the wealth principles on the left handed pages. (I suggest to avoid confusion read the left hand pages first then go back and read the story on the right hand pages)You are griped wondering how can she achieve this and so find the book hard to put down once you start reading as can't wait to find out what happens. Does she make it, doesn't she? The story has a surprising double twist at the end! Well worth buying / borrowing whether into beleiving making a million is achievable or not. 5 stars ++++

Not just about money
|
|
I found this so inspiring that I completely changed my life after reading it! Although it is about becoming financially rich, I used the philosophy - believe you can achieve whatever you want to - to change job, home and county. Read it and feel excited knowing you will soon be taking major steps to change your life...
