3.0 out of 5 stars
Very, Very short, should be priced at under $10, June 25, 2005
This review is from: Speedwealth: How to Make a Million in Your Own Business in 3 Years or Less (Paperback)
This book will only be of use to you if you have a business or plan on starting one. Makes a couple good points on what a business should consist of without ever giving specific advice on what type of business to start. Very short, only 36 pages of the actual text, this book took me about an hour to read from front to back. The text is only on the right pages, on the left is one quote from the right side of the book. The whole book could be summarized in about one page, it does make a couple good points though, but I'm not going to give them away since they are the whole book. There is a little advertising of his seminars, but nothing too bad where it would turn you of from reading the book. I expected a little more from Harv, his 1st book had a lot more solid info, despite the fact that he kept promoting his seminars. Speedwealth wasn't informative enough, since I bought the book I might reread the whole thing again on one of my lunch breaks at work.

Speed Wealth - a review, May 19, 2009

Speed Wealth -- a review
The book Speed Wealth by T.Harv Eker was one of the best books on wealth creation that I have ever read. It was suggested to me by my business mentor who is wealthy and successful. I said if she likes it then I will have to read it. I am absolutely glad that I did. Let me tell you what this book lays out that was a paradigm shifter in my life.
Eker exclaims that he can take anyone and show them how to make a million dollars in three years or less. Now, this is a pretty tall order. Yet, Eker effectively delivers on his promise in this book of only 72 pages. He does this through his "Power Principles" at the beginning of every section. Some of them are as simple as "Success is a learnable skill" and others a little more mind bending like, "Conventional wisdom doesn't work ... and never did!" All of them are very simple and direct. Eker comes out and tells you how it is. There is no philosophy, no self help talk or rhetoric. He says what he has to say. You get it and move on.
He teaches some basic skills of business, the law of attraction and about the four types of ways to make money. Speed Wealth feels like a combination of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki , The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles and your Business 101 textbook. The most striking element of the book is that the "Power Principles" are given then explained briefly and maybe an example or two. They are laid out in format that everyone can understand and follow. If a young budding entrepreneur asked of a book that would help them attain and grow their wealth I would suggest this one.
A main theme of this book is the power of duplication. He uses Sam Walton founder of Wal Mart and Ray Kroc the founder of McDonalds as examples. He explains how to make money in your sleep and that if you want to be wealthy to be the conductor of the orchestra and not in the orchestra. The points made in Speed Wealth are timeless and doable. It shows that anyone can become wealthy if they can simply follow the rules. He shows that wealth is not some far off fantasy that is unattainable to the common person. He shows step by step what you need to do, how you need to act and the things that you should be thinking. If someone followed the suggestions in this book to the letter in three years they would become a millionaire as long as they followed the rules and of course got themselves out of their own way.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Don't spend $55!, November 19, 2005
This review is from: Speedwealth: How to Make a Million in Your Own Business in 3 Years or Less (Paperback)
This little booklet is sold at the free 3-day Millionaire Mind Intensive seminars for about $12 (depending on how many you buy). It's definitely not worth more than that.
