Outstanding for beginners to understand passive income, March 9, 2005
This review is from: The Parable of the Pipeline: How Anyone Can Build a Pipeline of Ongoing Residual Income in the New Economy (Paperback)
This is not a how to book. This book is for people who need help understanding the concept of passive income. Income that shows up whether you do or not! This will get you thinking creatively as to what types of pipelines of income you can create for yourself and your family. How about a virtual pipeline? Most people think the only way to get wealthy is to get a higher paying job. This book helps the everyday person shatter that myth!

The book is good yahwah!, October 12, 2005
This review is from: The Parable of the Pipeline: How Anyone Can Build a Pipeline of Ongoing Residual Income in the New Economy (Paperback)
I have read with concern some of the reviews on this book. With the exception of the positive ones, I would be happy to find out if the critics have made their millions already.
For us in Africa, there has been an average of about 56% return on investments, particularly in the Kenya, Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE), Ghana and Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), South Africa. This book offers great advice on what otherwise has often seemed difficult to do; saving consistently & investing wisely.
Whether you are leveraging time or money, the analogy of the power behind the Pipeline is a welcome reprieve to many people. From those who are making the transition from full time jobs to doing their own business, those learning to set up their own businesses, and those in investment clubs investing in building big businesses, those who are planning to retire early and want a successful future and have never known how to do it, as well as the ignorant and plainly niave.
It is a must read! especially because of the candid and vivid examples it gives. On the one hand, legendary successful families like the Vanderbilt's, Firestones, Fords, Rockefellers, and on the other hand people who have showed restraint and discipline like Pablo, the small time elementary school teacher the Dentist who got arthritis and Bruno.
Just read it, live your dreams and let the sceptics and sleeping dogs lie.

Stop Bucket Carrying and Build Pipelines, May 12, 2004
This review is from: The Parable of the Pipeline: How Anyone Can Build a Pipeline of Ongoing Residual Income in the New Economy (Paperback)
The parable in this book is an eye openner. The story is well done and interesting. The story was helpful in openning my eyes to the work mindset which had been ingrained into me since a child. Learning about building pipelines, which is residual income, was excellent. I highly recommend this book personally and for business building.
The problem for many people is that we are trained to work a job and have not learned how to own a business. This book teaches principles on business ownership. The story is told in such a way to help us shift from working our whole life and having little in the end, or becoming a business owner and getting financial freedom. This book goes along well with Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki - cheers
