Multiple ways of creating income and wealth, July 7 2004
Robert Allen has written an excellent book here. For people opposed to network marketing (I'm very bullish on network marketing), that's o kay, Allen offer many other strategies to create wealth. In fact, to create Multiple Streams of Income.
For me, the best and safest way to create multiple streams of income is via network marketing. With network marketing, you can use the same power of leverage that Allen uses and suggests in his real estate books. It is the same principle that Donald Trump used to become a billionaire. In fact, speaking of Donald Trump, several years ago The Donald was on a tv talk show and when asked if he had to start over again, what would he do differently. Trump said he would find a good network marketing company and go to work!
Personally, I feel that everyone should set up a network marketing business. It's low cost, can be started part, part time and you can create a high income rapidly if you are with the right company and put forth the right effort.
Enough of network marketing. It's a winning stategy and I am glad that Robert Allen understands it and is recommending it.
Allen also discusses real estate. He explains how to buy real estate with no money down and using the power of leverage. He also discusses tax liens and discounted mortgages. Both powerful ways to create passive income and again, Allen shows you ways to invest in these power packed strategies with no money down.
Allen also discusses how to be an intropreneur (not my choice) and how to use the internet.
All in all, Multiple Streams of Income is a powerful book that can add many streams of income to your income portfolio. Much better strategy than relying on just 1 income streams---a job.
AND the good news is that anybody can start any of these strategies right now while you are working at your job. They can all be started part, part time with little or no investment and create cash flow immediately.
Great book Mr. Allen. I recommend it.

Cave Canum - A Book of Bad Advice, July 3 2004
Multiple Streams of Income is a whole lot of hype punctuated with just as much bad financial advice. Like a carnival barker, each in your face chapter espouses themes as ridiculous as "Network Marketing Is The Income Stream of the Future." The "advice" in this book is worthless and unactionable. Test it for yourself. Pick up the book, read any single chapter, (this will take no longer than five minutes) and then write down on a piece of paper the specific steps you would take to generate the miraculous stream of income the author describes. You will find that like all peddlers of poof he has skipped over the challenging elements or potential points of failure for each scheme. If you really need to generate additional income, you'd be better off finding someone in an honest line of work and asking them how you can learn the ropes. Books like this one build unrealistic expectations and then crush the spirit of those who attempt to follow and fail. The poor souls who pin their hopes on these cheapjacks blame themselves rather than the true author of their failure... another huckster with a handful of magic beans.

Multiple Streams of Income, Jan 3 2010
Multiple Streams of Income is insightful. The books' scope is broad. It has great tips on how to save money, grow it, and adding other streams of revenue. The investing section is interesting, but I would take the "Dogs of the Dow" section with a grain of salt; See Ric Edelman's: The Lies About Money. Multiple Streams of Income is not a quick rich scheme book. The book arrived in excellent condition; Excellent vendor.
