The Millionaire Maker, 4-cd set: How the Wealthy Got There and How You Can Too [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Book had some good points, but all it really does is make you very discontent with what you have to make you want more. Then she sucks you into her coaching program which and thats where she makes her real money!

Don't waste your time or money folks. They will try everything they can to get you in! We lost $3000, but almost lost $10,000 and they wanted us to put it all on a credit card! Unfortunately we did.

The coaching was a horrible program. Like I said we first were lured into spending $10,000! We didn't go for it and only did the $6000 version. Very unhappy we were refunded $3000, but we are still out $3000. We didn't have the money, so the coach pressed us very hard to put it all on a credit card. Can't believe we did.

We were passed off to 3 different coaches. One said he would personally coach us. Then after 2 more phone calls, he passed us off to another coach

We had that coach for 2 weeks, then showed up for the next class no coach showed up at all, so we left scratching our heads. The next week we had a different coach with no explanation of what happened to the previous one.

On top of that, all the coaches did was show powerpoints of the material already explained in the book and talk about it. The whole program was simply an overview of the same material in the book we received, nothing more. Nothing different!

We kept waiting for more, then all of a sudden we were at the last session, and then it was over. Totally surprised I asked the coach, "thats it?" She agreed.

Basically we paid over $3000 to hear someone tell us what we could have read ourselves.

We spoke with our sign up coach about all of the problems we had, and he assured us they would make these wrongs right.

One thing he promised was that we could retake to course for no additional fee the next summer. Then I asked if we still were not satisfied after that, and he eluded to a full refund.

Well we had several issues that summer, pregnancy, lost job, car accident, we could not retake the course.

So I called back to ask for the full refund. I found out our sign up coach no longer works there and talked with someone there and she assured we would NOT get any more refunds.

Thanks Loral for first making me feel discontent with what I have, then taking my money when I tried to do better! Glad I could make you a little more richer at my families expense.

This was a much more exciting book to me before I read it. Unfortunately, the author sets up each example and then flees to the next without following each story to its end or showing what to do when there are personality or market obstacles to success. We never find out how the dune buggy family fared running a business together, for instance. Why? Because it's a composite rather than a real example of a success story.

As for all these wonderful real estate buys that are the basis of the new cash flow, the author is talking about atypical, special investment deals that aren't available to rank beginners. You can't get the deals without the experts. You can't get the experts without the money to pay them. You don't even know where to get the money until you find the experts. Most people reading this book won't be able to overcome these contradictions. I would have welcomed a simple pitch for new clients, an honest "Pay my team $50,000 and I will make you $500,000 in one year" to the "You all can do this" speech. We all can't do this.

I do applaud the author's desire to get people to see beyond drudgery as employees to the possibilities of leveraging their assets to create wealth. And to learn to use the tax code to shelter income. There are nuggets of interesting ideas here. But this book is not a substitute for the author's boardroom of experts.

I received this book "free" with a 30 day free trial to Lorals online web-course. I called to cancel the online web-course to avoid the $69.00 a month fee. I told her rep that I hadn't finished the book yet and wanted to cancel my subscription until I read the book. I was told "you do know the book is just an autobiography, and you won't learn anything from it". I was told that the "meat" of the program was the online advisors... Well, there ya go, from her own representative, the book is worthless and useless. If someone gives me a worthless book, I have no interest in anything else they have to sell me. Im glad I didn't actually pay for this book.
