2.0 out of 5 stars The Skin of a Foundation, February 6, 2006

This review is from: Leverage: A Key to Success and Wealth (Paperback)
I ordered this book with the hopes of gaining insight through examples and unrealized concepts. Unfortunately this book skimmed the surface of leverage. It discussed several types of leverage each which contained a few examples and commentary followed by questions to develop your untapped leverage opportunities. The concepts were good, the examples were few and brief and the questions were too brief and vague to procure a hint of enlightenment or anything in the same neighborhood.

Summary: Wealthy people are using leverage. There are several types. Find the type that best suits you and read a lot about it to develop a solid foundation before continuing on. Visit my website and tell your friends about my book :)

I also find it strange that several other reviewers who gave 5 stars are from the same state/area as the author.

2.0 out of 5 stars Catchy title - but falls short in content, December 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leverage: A Key to Success and Wealth (Paperback)
A book that drew me in by the title and the premise, but offered little more than BASIC (think "Leverage for Dummies") teaching. For example - here are the three "keys" of leverage: people (hire other people to do your work), money (use other people's money) and time. He doesn't little beyond this to offer any kind of innovation around how to do this.

There, that's pretty much it. Now you don't need to by the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The King of Leverage Teaches Us Everything He Knows, July 19, 2004
This review is from: Leverage: A Key to Success and Wealth (Paperback)
I have the pleasure of personally knowing the author and I can attest to the fact that Ron Pate practices what he preaches. I was fortunate enough to review this book before it hit the press, and now that I have the final version, I have read it again. Each time, I learn something new.
Although this is an 'easy read', it is quite informative as well. I took it on vacation with me, and as much as I hate to mix vacation with my 'normal life', I didn't feel as if I was guilty of 'working'.
The book uses personal examples to highlight how leverage is one of the key elements to becoming successful in ANY business endeavor.
If you are serious about getting out of the rat race learning how the pros do it, this is a MUST read.
