Straightforward advice for anyone looking to take control of their personal finances and successfully invest in stocks, real estate, and more

Tackling one’s financial future has to be managed the way a platoon leader plans an assault, in a get-it-done, precision-style maneuver. Dicks teaches you ways to find financial peace in the no-holds barred Operation Financial Freedom.

Practical wealth-building techniques cover everything from stock and mutual fund investing to buying income-producing assets, while tax-saving strategies help achieve greater overall performance. More than just a primer for picking the right stocks, this book explains how you can develop and implement a unified financial strategy, creating a millionaire legacy for yourself and your children.


Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A realistic program for getting out of debt, growing your savings, and taking control of your money and financial future

While there are no easy formulas for financial success, certain strategies can help you steer clear of disasters while building slow, steady wealth. Operation Financial Freedom shows you how to put into action a financial program that will allow you to free yourself from debt and achieve financial freedom.

Built around the time-proven disciplines of the military, but useful for all individuals regardless of their income or financial status, this action-ready book features:

  • Investment guidance for stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more
  • Techniques for using income-producing assets to provide long-term security
  • Tax-saving strategies for achieving greater overall performance
  • Ideas for starting and building your own business

Financial independence is easier to achieve than you might think, but it does require that you establish a solid, well-designed plan. Operation Financial Freedom outlines just such a plan. It provides you with a step-by-step program for developing and implementing a unified financial strategy and creating a millionaire financial legacy for yourself and your children.

Operation Financial Freedom is not about the fast, easy riches that are there for the taking. Because despite what many books would have you believe, becoming wealthy is just not that simple.

On the other hand, it's not as hard as you might think.

This step-by-step guidebook lays out a realistic, achievable program for rolling up your sleeves, making sensible decisions, and starting today to work toward a solid financial tomorrow. Self-made millionaires James Dicks and J. W. Dicks steer clear of pie-in-the-sky get-rich-quick schemes to provide proven solutions for eliminating your foolish debt, discovering your wealth-building strengths and interests, and building on what you do best to establish a financial freedom mindset and put a workable plan into action.

Look inside Operation Financial Freedom to learn strategies and techniques that will work for you, because they've worked for others time and again. Treating the creation of wealth as a vital mission, in which you must pay attention to every critical detail if you are to reach a successful outcome, this hands-on, no-nonsense guidebook shows you how to:

  • Look inside yourself to uncover your dream goals and values, essential for creating the right plan for you
  • Take care of your all-important financial foundation, from repairing credit and eliminating foolish debt to saving all you can and owning your own home
  • Create and implement an easy-to-follow investment plan that minimizes risk while maximizing return potential
  • Establish a retirement plan that ensures you'll have what you need, when you need it
  • Guarantee your children's education without sacrificing your own long-term financial dreams
  • Minimize your tax bite, year after year after year
  • Start and build your own business--including a detailed listing of the twelve best business opportunities for the 21st century!

Wealth and financial freedom are achievable for anyone willing to establish and follow a detailed, disciplined program. Operation Financial Freedom provides you with a time-tested program for taking control of your financial future, by replacing wishful thinking and pipe dreams with concrete, proven actions for making your money work for you every day, in ways you never thought possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just finances...information for your entire life, November 16, 2005
By 
This review is from: Operation Financial Freedom: The Ultimate Plan to Build Wealth and Live the Life You Want (Hardcover)
This book opened my eyes to a whole new world. It has taught me so much. It is different than the usual "get out of debt" type books, it walks you through step by step on how to do everything! There is nothing that this book does not cover. From getting your finances in order and tackling credit card debt, to going into business for yourself, buying a home, getting more money at tax time, saving plans, the list goes on and on. I truly enjoyed reading the book because I was learning tons of things that I never knew. I have read this book more than once, I use it as a guide anytime I come across anything questionable dealing with my finances. It is a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical Plan for a Positive Financial Future, November 14, 2005
This review is from: Operation Financial Freedom: The Ultimate Plan to Build Wealth and Live the Life You Want (Hardcover)
This is a great book for anyone who is looking for a concrete plan towards financial independence. The authors include many exercises in this book that make it more like a workbook than a roadmap. The best part about this book is that if you follow the authors' instructions and do the exercises, you will end up with a concise plan for achieving your life's goals no matter what they are. As an added bonus this book includes lots of great tips on how to and save money on everyday purchases. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, powerful and a pleasure to read, April 10, 2006
This review is from: Operation Financial Freedom: The Ultimate Plan to Build Wealth and Live the Life You Want (Hardcover)
This book spoke to the core of what I do with my clients. Take responsibility, stop looking for someone to do it for you, forget about a magic bullet for your financial problems. Operation Financial Freedom gives very clear and doable steps to turn your financial life around and get headed in the right direction. I found the writing style to be fun to read with solid common sense advice.
