Waste of Time

Written by Muriel Rand on May 3rd, 2008

  • Book Rating: 1/5

I can't believe this book was published. The author presents characteristics of millionaires and it is SO repetitive I sent it back after a couple of disks - the same points, over and over again. How many times does he need to tell us that SAT scores are not correlated with being a millionaire? I bet he said that 50 times in two disks. Enough already. There's nothing here that is not obvious - "you need tenacity and courage to be a millionaire". There- I've told you the whole book so you don't need to waste your time! One star is too much.

I thought this was an easy listen and interesting. It is not a how to book but would help clarify what is not important in building wealth. I had my 15 year old son listen to the profile of a millionaire from the book and I think he was very surprised. I hope it will help him realize how easy it could be to be a millionaire and how he probably wouldn't realize how many he might encounter and not even know it.

I found this to be way too repetitive. I couldn't get past the second CD before I decided to send it back. Pretty obvious information, but if you don't know I guess it could be helpful.

Interesting

Although some of the reviews indicated the information in the tape was common knowledge, it provided several different ideas that can easily be incorporated. It really gives you some things to think about when you are making financial decisions and looking back at previous decisions you have made.

Nothing New

Written by Dave Paulson on August 1st, 2007

  • Book Rating: 3/5

I found myself mostly thinking "yeah, so." There are some points worth the listen, but overall, unless the reader is terribly naive or narrow minded, you won't find anything new here. The book is short and easy to listen to but don't expect any revelations.

Millionare Mind

Written by Robert Bacarella on May 17th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 5/5

I found this book to be very insightful as to what the real millionaire's are like in America. Hollywood has it all wrong. Some might say that it was too long but I found if to be a breeze to listen to and the CD's flowed very well. This is not a "how to" book or a get-rich-quick CD. I just wanted facts and that is what this book presented. I would recommend to my friends and I would also listen to it again.

Millionaire Mind

  • Book Rating: 1/5

The first four (really 2) of these CD's were so unsatisfying that I didn't even finish all of them, took the rest off my list and sent them back. It was very boring, very repetitive, and offered no ideas for change. I have read other books on this subject that offers the concepts and then follows with ideas of what you can do to change your "mind." This was repetition of the same information and really nothing else.

The Millionaire Mind

Written by Nelson Howell on March 22nd, 2007

  • Book Rating: 4/5

At first I thought pace seemed slow and a repetitous, but on further listening, it became very clear that there was method to the author's pacing. He is careful to build a firm foundation for the next idea on the agenda of thoughts. I found the ideas presented, very clear and thought provoking. The author does not tell you what to do or think, he simply presents facts in such a way that you are able to use. I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in advancing their financial well being.

Good info, but repeats the same things several times. My biggest complaint is several of the discs were scratched.

Too Long

Written by Anonymous from Basking Ridge, NJ on July 30th, 2005

  • Book Rating: 2/5

Content was interesting though not much more insightful than Millionaire Next Store. This book could have conveyed its main points in 10% of the volume of words and text. Guess he was just trying to fill the pages. Save yourself the time and just listen to the first disc of the twelve.
