2 comments about The Wealth Builder's Blueprint.

1. The Wealth Builder's Blueprint is a terrific product, jam-packed with wealth creation tips, tactics and strategies from Donald Trump and his wealth creation team. If you're a Trump fan -- or if you like the television show "The Apprentice" -- you'll love this product. Trump's DVD lays out his tips on how to be successful, set the standard, never give up and create wealth. It's classic Trump: bold, pithy and entertaining. Dolf de Roos (real estate), Jeff Burrows (entrepreneurs), Les Hewitt and Dr. Stephanie Burns are also terrific on their CDs in this product. This would make a great gift for any Trump fan; it's well worth checking out.



2. This CD set is by far the best compilation of material amassed of how a business man should see the world. I was skeptical at the high price of admit ion and thought that maybe it would be another one of Trumps name dropping "I've done this," like his books. WOW I WAS DEAD WRONG. Trump assembled a group of the best specialist and had them speak on what they know best. Your end result is a masterpiece of knowledge on all subjects that are life changing and mindset changing. All I can say is that I was not disappointed at any moment and would have gladly paid 3x the price of admit ion! The information in this CD set is truly powerful, and a must have for anyone that wants to strengthen there business character.
   
   Only Con I have is that I wish I had found this CD set when it first came out a few years ago!

4 comments about The Seven Secrets to Becoming a Multi-Millionaire: Multiply Your Wealth Faster Than the Experts (Coach Series).

1. We all know that the so-called "experts" don't have all the answers when it comes to wealth building. Bill Staton explains in language that anybody can understand how to take the mystery out of money matters and beat the "experts" at their own game.
   
   I've heard other people claim that you can become a millionaire by investing only $50 a month, but I've believed it was possible until now. I only wish I'd heard him sooner!
   
   If you're a fan of The Millionaire Mind or the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, then these Seven Secrets are for you.



2. This is COMPLETE garbage. He just rambles on and on about nothing, then doesn't even tell you the actual companies he refers to as America's Finest Companies. I am appalled that "someone" liken this material to Kiyosaki's.



3. A very disappointing book. His numerous stories make up the majority of this book. I have the audio book on my Ipod and found myself skipping section after section of this audio book. As mentioned earlier in a review he talks about investing in "America's Best Companies" and never tells you what those companies are. I would not recommend this book to even a basic or new investor.



4. Author and America's Money Coach Bill Staton offers useful and practical advice for those who want to achieve financial independence. A North Carolinian, Staton's southern accent drips molasses as he dispenses fundamental tips that - if followed - will serve any saver or investor well. Of course, the trick and the challenge lies not in hearing the advice but heeding the advice.
   
   The downside is that Staton continues to emphasize the need to invest in "America's Finest Companies," a proprietary list of firms that presumably you have to buy or pay for in order to learn their identities. So, keep investing in "America's Finest Companies. Did I mention that they key is to buy stock in "America's Finest Companies"?? After a while, you get sick of hearing about "America's Finest Companies and start thinking that maybe this book is mostly a shill-job to get new customers to subscribe to the Staton Institute's various products, some of which will actually (for a fee) identify for you .... "America's Finest Companies"!
   
   Putting that aside, the book/audio CD is a collection of sound advice presented by a knowledgeable and likable expert who eschews get-rich-quick schemes.
   
   (P.S... Did I mention the importance of ... "America's Finest Companies"?!?!)

1. This series is an excellent overview of the most historically influential economic thinkers and their milieus. It offers insights into the evolution of Economics as a discipline, and the influences of economic thought on societies in various times and places.
   I originally purchased this series in audio cassette format in 1993 when I was an undergraduate Economics student. I recently purchased the series again in Audio CD format.

2 comments about Credit for Women (Plain English Seminar: audio CDs, book, forms CD).

1. I wish I had this book and seminar before I got divorced! It's packed with information on how to keep credit safe while married, secrets on how to find information about your family finances and how to protect yourself during and after divorce. Now I use the tips on how and where to do free background checks on new men in my life to make sure I protect myself and finances in the future.



2. I didn't know this type of information was available. It had a lot of information on how to get credit and keep a good credit score. More important, it also had information on a wide range of credit and financial issues that come up in relationships. The seminar has great tips on how to broach the topic with your mate to determine if you are on the same wavelength regarding credit. Many tips on how to check out a person for FREE before you put yourself and your credit at risk, and how to protect yourself and your credit before during and after relationships or marriage. It's great to have all the information together!

5 comments about Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom.

1. Safe Strategies for Fiancial Freedom is by far the best book that I have found on the process of achieving/preserving wealth and finding financial freedom SAFELY. Virtually all of the other books on these topics are Ra-Ra pep talks with few substantial tools, or they are directed at giving you a Holy Grail system. If you are looking for a Holy Grail then you need to realize that there are no Holy Grail Systems, purchase Dr. Tharp's other works, work on yourself, develop your own systems, and read this book. If you are looking to take control of your personal finances, protect and grow your capital then start here.
   
   Of Dr. Tharp's many works, this is the most approachable (and is very approachable) for the average person, and it is very informative for the sophisticated investor. It provides a great foundation in assessing your financial picture, your responsibility for yourself and how your beliefs effect this, the components of a complete system for investing, risk control, assessing your system, the big picture of finance, and approaches to different investment catagories. At the core is Dr. Tharp's belief that whatever you trade or invest in needs to fit you. Fitting you means matching your beliefs about yourself, money, and the markets be they stock, bond, curreny, real estate, or baseball cards. If you do not believe that you can be financially free, you are not going to be. There are extensive tools provided to assist you in developing a target and game plan, continually assess where you are, what the big picture is doing, and where to find opportunity.
   
   Unlike Dr. Tharp's previous books, this book gives you systems (sets of rules) to use. You need to decide if these fit you and your goals. If these recepies are not quite right for you, you can adapt them. Back testing of systems is discussed, and the limitations of back testing systems are elucidated. There is an extensive discussion on how to improve this limited information through simulating your system and how the information gleaned from this exercise can inform your decisions regarding Risk and Position Sizing. Risk and Position Sizing are also thoroughly discussed as these are THE KEY to reaching your goals in terms of gains and smoothness of your equity curve. The classic Tharp marble game is presented and gives you a true feeling and experience of how position sizing can dramatically effect the results of your system. These concepts are critical to turning your investing (or non-investing) into something "safe" instead of "risky".
   
   The information in this book will repay you many times over the cost of the book and your time to read and implement its information. Read this book! Have your kids read it. Give it to family and friends, and you will be doing something to improve all of their lives. Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom Deserves a 7 out of 5.



2. I have read Van Tharp's first book, "Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom" and made a glowing review of that book....this book isn't a trading book (even though it introduces the concepts of Position Sizing, and Expectancy) ..but more of a general personal finance book...Instead of teaching you how to trade stocks...it teaches you how to trade mutual funds, and general real estate concepts (that you should look into more if you want to go that route, it'll be foolhardy to jump into real estate learned from only that book). It also tells you how to get yourself more familar with today's economy. Not only it teaches you how gets your finances in order with debt reduction and asset reallocation techniques, it shows how to protect your growing wealth and teaches your children how to start saving as well!! I wish this book was written decades ago...I'd be so much ahead...
   
   This is the only personal finance book that gives you all the tools you need to help you go in the right direction..



3. Great book for starter investors or for those who want to understand the market!!!



4. For the serious student in the field of personal finance, this book is actually written for someone above a 3rd grade reading level. Well organized, it is a progressive study of the various areas of personal wealth building, calling upon the expertise of authors for different topics. This is a must for any investor's personal library.



5. I bought this book because I had read a bunch of great articles in magazines by Tharp. I expected to hear a bunch of stuff about psycology in trading and that kind of stuff, but Tharp spends most of the effort telling about how to create a trading system that will guide your trades. He covers money management, risk management, and how to develop trading rules for your personal style.
   I wish I had read this book years ago when I began trading, but hey, I've got it on the shelf now. Great reference for both new and experienced traders.
