The 1 Minute Millionaire...
Have any of you read "The One Minute Millionaire" by Mark Hansen and Robert Allen?
If so, what did you like about it? What did you NOT like about it?
If you haven't read it, I think it may be a worthwhile read. Just go to B&N, grab a coffee, and read it there for free...it's an easy read.
My Opinion:
I enjoyed the book with a few notable exceptions. It's two books in one with a novel written on the right side {to represent the creative side of our brains} and a loose instruction manual on the left {to represent our logical side}
I say loose because the left side gives a fair instruction but not a comprehensive step-by-step one. The right side tells an entertaining novel about a young widow that must make a million dollars in 90 days to keep custody of her children.
Both sides of the book are too cutesy for my liking. For example: the authors talk about "god" and how you need "god" to amass wealth because you absolutely need the "infinite network" to succeed. That bit is where I really disagree because it's operatiing on some very strong assumptions...assumptions that cannot be validated or falsified. I'm not one of faith and I really don't need to be to make money.
It's also impossible to make 1 million in 90 days following the story in the right side of the book. The principles in the book can certainly make you multiple millions of dollars in 10 years...or maybe even 4 if you're really detirmined and a bit lucky...but in 3 months? Give me a break. Real estate contracts can take 90 days to close...never mind manufacturing contracts.
Other than those points, I thought it was entertaining and inspiring. I'd give it a solid 7/10 and a recommendation to you Warriors.
That is my kneejerk response to the book...how about yours?
