Book Description

November 28, 2008
Is Money Wealth? As a man chooses his coat for its wearing qualities or for the moment's passing whim, so does he choose his destiny. The responsibility and the result lie with the chooser. Each living person chooses - and each hour that passes fixes his choice deeper and deeper in his daily life. Wealth is a state of mind or perhaps it would be better to say that wealth is created through the state of mind. Few people get rich or acquire riches at a single stroke; most people who become rich grow rich, and the growth and development of a personal fortune is sometimes scarcely noted by the busy man or woman, who is thus almost unconsciously growing rich.

From the Publisher

From the Back Cover

According to Franklyn Hobbs, the secret of wealth is no secret and it isn't new. As he points out, "for more than 2,000 years, it has been understood that the person who was poor and let it be known, and made little or no effort to rise above poverty, was largely responsible for his own unhappy condition."

In this book, Hobbs explains exactly how to take responsibility for one's own financial well-being. "Wealth is a state of mind or perhaps 'twould be better to say that wealth is created through a state of mind. The acquiring of money and property, once begun, is a simple and easy process; growing rich comes through habits that are such fixed parts of one's daily life that, once on the road to wealth, it would be quite difficult, if not wholly impossible, to stop the growth." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read - The Secret of Wealth, December 6, 2008
This review is from: The Secret of Wealth (Paperback)
Finally, the secret of wealth has been revealed. But has it? Franklyn Hobbs actually revealed this secret many years ago, so why has it taken this long for us to find out about it? Definitely a great read if you want to be 'in the know' about creating your own wealth.
