Review

For my taste, this tiny, elegantly crafted book giving us insights into the entrepreneurial mind set could have been longer. I would have liked information of a more detailed nature about the successful start-ups of these two millionaire authors. I wish this had been the rousing introduction to a long, fact-filled book providing juicy details of these authors' ventures. I'd like to read the sequel to this book, if it's the "inside scoop" on exactly how they got to be millionaires, the pitfalls they avoided, the snares they didn't manage to escape, and so forth. However, a detailed blow-by-blow account of their entrepreneurial successes is not what Messers Fisher and Allen set out to write. Instead, they provide insight into the actual thinking and the style of thought of the self-made millionaire. It's an inspirational read, much like an adult version of The Little Engine That Could. The authors provide a pep talk and cheerleading session that attempts to challenge readers to believe in themselves as winners, and they illustrate how to eliminate some of the "I-can't-do-it" programming that may be blocking some readers from achieving full potential. Although there is nothing new in this book, its "You-can-if-you-think-you-can" philosophy of encouragement may be just what some timid would-be capitalists need to hear. This would make a nice gift for a college graduate or for someone contemplating a career change. -- From Independent Publisher

Real millionaires impart the secrets of how they made money in a title which examines success and personal experience. The two authors, millionaires and founders of visionary businesses, chart their personal paths to achievement and the lessons they learned along the way. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars As a millionaire myself I can say that I DO think this way!, July 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Think Like a Millionaire (Hardcover)

This book is a concise exposition of the power of focused thought and visualizing success.

Have a purpose, have a plan and take action - and responsibility - and you will be a millionaire too (if that is what you want).

The book could be titled "How To Think Like a Successful Person" where YOU define what is "successful"; with that definition, success is unavoidable. (Even the homeless are successful at what they've chosen.)

The book might appear simplistic but that is so because it contains wisdom. Wisdom appears foolish to fools and obvious to wise people. The information of this book is at the level of basic truth; use it and succeed; declare that it's "too obvious to be true" and you sneer at the sunshine.

A very good book well worth its price if you consider the cost as the seed of an investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book on wealth, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Think Like a Millionaire (Paperback)

This is my favorite book on the creation of wealth. It says nothing that hasn't been said before. Yet this book says it simply, concisely and distills what could take years to learn into a short and complete book. This is the first book I give people who ask me about money.

This review is from: How to Think Like a Millionaire (Hardcover)

Following the "modelling" ideas of NLP, I thought this a good book to buy. This asumption was based upon the title. Upon reading it, I found very little substance to it, that cannot be found elsewhere, in a better form.

My advice if you are strugling then buy WISHCRAFT by Barbara Sher, this book will give you everything, that this book fails to deliver.

I could only recomend this title, as a foundation book in positive thinking, giving you a broad outline of some key ideas. There is very little practical substance to make a big difference.

This is not really a HOW TO...manual.

Recomended but with great caution!!
