Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Hansen, cocreator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and Allen, a personal finance author, share strategies for generating more income within 90 days (reprising the two-books-in-one format used in The One Minute Millionaire), which offers step-by-step instructions as well as a fictional narrative to illustrate key points. The authors list three key elements of their plan for success: create a clear vision of one's ultimate objectives, silence the inner whiner and release the inner winner, and gather a team of like-minded individuals for support and guidance. Such advice as Ask yourself empowering, uplifting, emboldening questions helps retrain the mind to help the reader to focus, identify clear aims and unleash ambition. The book also addresses the next steps: converting ideas into cash, turning problems into profits and numerous ways to profit from intellectual property. Inspiring and practical, Hansen and Allen's legion of fans will find much of value. (Sept.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind training for financial success, September 7, 2009

By	Jessica Teel (Kauai, Hawaii) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Cash in a Flash: Fast Money in Slow Times (Audio CD)

Cash in a Flash combines mind training with financial planning. The result is an interesting audiobook that helps you overcome mental obstacles to achieving financial success. The first part of the book helps listeners identify negative, mental "voices". Through clever exercises that work well in the audio format, listeners practice manipulating their mental voice . I believe the audiobook version is actually better than print for many of these exercises. Author and narrator Mark Hansen (of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame) is an experienced cheerleader and guide. His enthusiasm will encourage people most in need of mind conditioning. His vocal performance is both animated and supportive, a perfect match for his role as coach.

I was impressed that this book first addresses mental obstacles to financial success. I believe those new to mind training will find the book's approach welcoming and easy to understand and access. The authors then tackle how to accumulate wealth using their knowledge and experience. This is a complete audiobook package for anyone looking to improve their financial situation. Anyone can follow this approach with success.

2.0 out of 5 stars Listening To My Mickey Mouse Voice, September 2, 2009

By	MasterAP (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

When you mix Chicken Soup for the Soul and Multiple Streams of Income, you get Cash in a Flash.

Hansen and Allen have written 2 books for you to enjoy. If you're the linear-learning type of person, you'll read the left-hand pages; if you're the picture person, you'll read the right-hand pages.

Here is how you can get cash in a flash - according to these authors:

#1 Wow Now - Invision yourself getting a lot of money.
#2 Inner Winner - Convince yourself you can get a lot of money.
#3 Dream Team - Gather with people who can talk you into convincing yourself to get a lot of money.

That is the first part (and majority) of the book; a lot of mental and psychological practices to rid your imagination of all the negative "voices" in your head. They tell you to make your negative voice sound like Mickey Mouse and turn down his volume whenever he speaks to you.

The last 3 chapters deal with the ideas which include: real estate, writing a book, and sales.

After reading this book I had some ideas of what I could do. However I don't think I could ask people to pay me $2,000 to write a chapter in a book I was writing. (But that's my negative Mickey Mouse voice talking)

When all is said and done, this is not the kind of how-to book people are looking for.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Werid but in the End I Liked it, September 20, 2009

I've read a lot of Mark Victor Hansons stuff and struggle at times. He's obviously successful so how can you argue with his advice. This one isnt that much different than One Minute Millionaire when you get down to it. They have put two books in one. The right page is a novel and the left a how to book. I dont like that format but I guess they do. I had a hard time getting started, the first part of the how to book was a little trivial but I gutted it out and when you get to the 'cash in the flash' part and identifying your skills, achievements yadayada, they had some solid questions and tests that were quite helpful in guiding a person to find out where they might have something in their past that can be converted to well, cash in a flash. Its worth the discounted price I see here on Amazon.
