5.0 out of 5 stars From Debt to Success, August 24, 2001

F. Chun (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How I Made $1,000,000 in Mail Order-and You Can Too! (Paperback)

E.J. Cossman's book is part of my support system and changed my life for the better. E. Joseph Cossman advice helped me to go from debt to success (out of debt) in less than 3 years. The book contains advice to help anyone. The advice is not limited to mailorder, and applicable to all businesses and professions. Yes, your job can benefit from the advice. Don't be afraid to invest in this book and use the advice to help yourself from debt to success. Sounds like a good title for a book.

All the best, Franklin

5.0 out of 5 stars Cossman Changed My Life, June 20, 2001

Pastor Trimelda C. McDaniels (Idaho Falls, ID) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How I Made $1,000,000 in Mail Order-and You Can Too! (Paperback)

I work a lot with new businesses. In fact, that has been a ministry of mine for the past twenty years. This book is the book I recommend or out right give to anyone who is just starting out in business. Just the first chapter alone is worth the price of the book. Those who have sour grapes concerning this book are just ignorant. My father used these same principles to start a successful catering truck business that lasted until he was too old to do it anymore. So, what he has to say REALLY, REALLY works! The book is cheap, gives good advice and is funny as well. What more could anyone ask for? BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!! You won't be sorry!

3.0 out of 5 stars Motivational at best, November 26, 2000

M.P. (NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How I Made $1,000,000 in Mail Order-and You Can Too! (Paperback)

Mr. Cossman probably inteaded this book to help others on the road of financial prosperity through a home based mail order business. However he falls well short by only going into little detail on many areas instead of great detail in some areas. If you are looking for a wonderful motivation tool than this book is for you. However, if you are looking to make a million I suggest you purchase something else.
