5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title turn you off! Life changer book, May 26, 2005

This review is from: Weekend Millionaire Mindset: How Ordinary People Can Achieve Extraordinary Success (Paperback)

Okay, I must admit when I saw the BRIGHT yellow book cover and the word "millionaire" in the title title the first time, I rolled my eyes when a friend handed me the book and said read this. My first thought was oh god, not another book telling me how to be a millionaire overnight (or over the weekend) and it is by a real estate investor no less. When my eyes stopped rolling I began reading. That little negative voice in my head was quickly silenced as soon as I read chapter one and realized that this was more than theory. It was Mike's story. By the end of chapter two I was inspired enough by his story and the clarity of my own story to create a budget and believe that I too could go beyond this ordinary financial existence. Why do so few of us build wealth settling instead for an ordinary American financial existence? I am a believer now and I will be a millionaire by the time I am 60 (or sooner since I am starting at 40) as well. This book is NOT a real estate book. It IS a book that WILL change your mindset and your future...and it CAN change your mindset in a WEEKEND if you allow it to do so. Give this to every high school graduate. Give this book to every teenager before they finance their first car. As Mike says, if you aren't doing well in this country, you are doing something wrong.

Thanks Mr. Summey for sharing your story and for helping me understand what I was doing wrong.

This review is from: Weekend Millionaire Mindset: How Ordinary People Can Achieve Extraordinary Success (Paperback)

Most people talk about investing in Real Estate, but many never get past the dream. For many people the best motivator is a good mentor. Mike Summey and Roger Dawson share their lives and their experiences as a good mentor would. As you read the "Weekend Millionaire Mindset" you will see what motivates a millionaire and you will learn how to adjust your own life to acheive success and great wealth. Since reading this book, I have started following some of the life changing suggestions and it really works!

This is not a "how-to" book for getting rich. It is more of a "how-you" book for changing your attitudes and methods for acheiving goals. For a more detailed road map toward success in real estate investing, read "The Weekend Millionaire's Guide to Real Estate Investing."

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU'LL BE MOTIVATED TO TRANSLATE THOUGHTS INTO ACTIONS!, May 18, 2005

You can feel the sincerity of the authors, encouraging through words, to create desire, teach you how to set goals and reach those goals.

The real life stories and adventures in the book are fun to read as well as informative. I really enjoyed the "story telling" layout with the bullets of information at the end of each chapter. Almost parable like at times.

Most people will read it and say great book, excellent book, put it down and do nothing afterwards. But for those people not so "most people", this book can give the means to TRANSLATE THOUGHT INTO ACTION and accept personal responsibility for one's own success.

I really appreciated the message in this book. If you're yearning for change and are not sure where to start, then why not start with this one?
