![]() ![]() I suspect it was written to appeal to those who are failing in the world's conventional definition of success. I believe this book does a disservice to the public. This book may do a good job of getting you excited about your financial future but the false information it teaches negates any benefits. Towards the end, I felt embarassed to be seen with this book in public, just like I'd feel for responding to a "get rich quick" spam mail. He writes about 200 pages of repetitive, non-specific advice with only one interesting message (see above), and people line up to throw money at him because of a compelling title and a tough-love story. I then saw the $10+ I dropped on this book as just another dollar in his pocket. He goes on to explain that his best-selling books are best sellers because he knows how to market them. He tells her to take courses in marketing, which horrifies her (as it would me). Later in the book he disparages a young writer who laments that she hasn't been "discovered" yet. That's the big message this book will impart to you, and it will do it slowly and repetitively in the first three chapters, leaving the remainder of the book for the author to drone on and on about how turned $60,000 into $80,000 without ever going into specifics.Įarly in the book the author lists royalties as a form of income. * If you rely on earning a wage or salary to put money in your pocket, you will be forever caught up in the vicious cycle of needing money, earning money and spending money. * Try to own things that put money in your pocket. Owning a house and a car incurs expenses. Owning a business or earning royalties creates income. * When you own something, it is either putting money into your pockets, or taking money out of your pockets. Here is the message of the book, and as far as I can tell, the only thing of value in its pages: I pushed aside the part of my mind that was shouting "This guy is trashing highly educated people and the working poor!" and I was able to actually become enthusiastic about the message of the book. ![]() I bought this book on the recommendation of a client, and from page one I was feeling uncomfortable with it. ![]()
