From the Author

What if I told you I'm about to share inside secrets that, before now, only the very wealthy among us knew? What if I told you these secrets will absolutely transform you into a millionaire? What if this proven system could be set up so that you could just implement it once to be wealthy? Then, what if I showed you how you could recycle it every three or five years to double or even triple your wealth? What if I said it doesn't involve effort, concentration or budgeting? Would you want to know more? This book should carry a warning. "What you are about to read is contrary to what you've always been taught and what you may have previously believed about how money works."

Most likely, the largest chunk of your present belief system about wealth has probably been built upon information you received from unwealthy sources. What you've been taught or have heard about protecting, borrowing and accumulating money was presented to you by people without real wealth of their own. Isn't that true for you?

STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS reveals a revolutionary, yet easy, system for building riches that leaves most of the other plans out there in the dust. It simply shows you the secrets of how to take the assets you already have, lock-in their safety and turbo-charge them the way the wealthy do. This solution can work for just about anybody - if you spend less than you make - no matter your wealth or income level.

I'm confident you'll find the revolutionary ideas presented will surprise you, possibly amaze you and, hopefully, benefit and liberate you. I've chosen to concentrate on the ideas and theories that can make you a fortune, rather than the technical and legal ramifications involved in the individual application of some of the products discussed. This will allow you, the reader, quicker access to information about the core concepts behind these wealth-optimizing approaches.

As you go through each chapter, please keep an open mind. While these strategies are different, they're still very conservative and safe methods for assured wealth building. Most financial professionals are unaware of these strategies... but then, most financial professionals aren't wealthy.

Between 2000 and 2003, millions of average investors lost as much as nine trillion dollars, much of which was in their retirement accounts invested in the market via stocks or mutual funds. I'll show you how the convergence of three unrelated events in this fresh millennium have created a new financial solution that could have protected and prevented those losses.

As our aging society moves toward retirement, we need to shield our assets from loss, boost our wealth, look forward to self-sufficient older years beyond the age of 100, living with security and peace of mind. We need a hero and the H.E.R.O. Solution may just be the answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for answers, August 19, 2007

This review is from: Stop Sitting on Your Assets: How to Safely Leverage the Equity Trapped in Your Home and Transform It Into a Constant Flow of Wealth and Security (Hardcover)

I, too, was in awe after reading this book. The ideas are presented in a simple, easy to understand way, and it seems to me to be very logical. I'm no financial genius, rather a former math teacher and the numbers seem to work on paper. But, really, after the awe has worn off and reality hits, what's the catch? This seems too easy. If this idea has been in existance for several years, then why hasn't it caught on with the "masses?" Why don't more financial advisors recommend this? Is there something I'm missing or does it really work that simply and just nobody knows about it? Somebody....give me the real scoop!

5.0 out of 5 stars True Sense of Security Now - A No Brainer, June 23, 2007

This review is from: Stop Sitting on Your Assets: How to Safely Leverage the Equity Trapped in Your Home and Transform It Into a Constant Flow of Wealth and Security (Hardcover)

Reading this book was a real eye opener...had to read it twice to make sure I was really seeing and believing what I was reading. Now after implementing the plan, I can truely say I have a "true sense of security knowing I can now look at my future social security checks as a bonus and not as a means of survival". Great illustrations. This book is a must read especially for baby-boomers wondering how they are going to make it in retirement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes too much sense!, June 26, 2007

By 

Melissa Waid (St Petersburg, Fl) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stop Sitting on Your Assets: How to Safely Leverage the Equity Trapped in Your Home and Transform It Into a Constant Flow of Wealth and Security (Hardcover)

This book explains in simple terms that what we have been taught by our parents and the government is completely wrong when it comes to planning for your retirement. I recommend everyone read this book, the concepts are simple and make more sense than investing in the stock market where you can lose money and paying off your house simply makes the banks rich.
