Good inspiration, but watch out for the web "extras.",
By
This review is from: The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth (Hardcover)
As many people have pointed out in their reviews, this book doesn't tell you HOW to make a million dollars, per se. However, I think if this is what you are looking for, you should instead look at a book on basic personal finances, such as Suze Ormans book which are quite readable.However, this book does have it's strengths. The strongest of these strengths is what some reviewers have negatively termed the "feel good" aspects of the book. I believe, that beyond a knowledge of basic financial issues, you attitude IS the most important thing in achieving success in ANY project. If you goal is actually to make a million dollars, you have to believe it possible, and believe in yourself. In many ways, fictional stories are the best at this. If this doesn't work for you, there are many stories about how so-and-so made their fortune, or found success. You'll find that the common theme in such stories is that THEY ALL DID IT A DIFFERENT WAY! There isn't a formula, other than believing in what you are doing and working the steps in your personal goal. In the area of inspiration, and the idea of multiple streams of income, this book is quite good. My MAJOR dissappointment in this book, and reason for the average rating, is due to the fact that if you sign up for the email tips, and web site extras, you basically have sold your name for junk e-mail. I know this to be true since I use a different mail address for anything like this I sign up for. Immediately on signing up for their web extras I was swamped in junk e-mail. That's so dissappointing.

Far Short of the Mark,

This review is from: The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth (Hardcover)
I'm not even sure of how to write a review of this work. My usual methodology for reading anything dealing with motivation or money is to pull out a couple of highlighters, take notes and mark the points of substance when I go back and reread it for a refresher. However, my highlighters stayed capped and the notebook was used for something else. The problem is that there's really nothing here that's not covered in other places in greater detail. I realize that the concept is to change the mindset of people so that they too realize that real wealth isn't unattainable and I applaud this. However, the novel portion is honestly quite sappy and unbelievable. Why not just use some life stories of immigrants who stepped off the plane and became wildly successful here? I don't recall anything of substance from the non-novel portion, either. Assemble a team? Common sense. Make connections? Ditto. Figure out where your money-making talent lies? Also a good idea before you start trying to do anything. Honestly, Robert Kiyosaki's semi-discredited and semi-fictional books really contain more useful principles than this. Ultimately, a book like this is weighed on how useful the information is in regards to achieving the goals of the person reading it. In my subjective opinion, I give the work a one star based on that criteria. The only reason I give it two stars is that I think more people need a counter to the Marxist message that making money and being rich is evil. If you really want to reorient your mindset, spend your money elsewhere, like on Brian Tracy's excellent writings.

This review is from: The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth (Hardcover)
I loved the book! its amazing. ofcourse the average person who is cynical and a skeptic might say its all just 'fluff' but if you are an optimistic go getter, knowing that if you take the first step and work hard to get your dreams then this book is for you..especially if you want to get rich, remain rich and share your wealth with those that need it..If you liked the rich dad series of books you will love this too!
