5 comments about The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth.

1. I've had this book on my bookshelves for about a year. When I began reading it a month ago I was overjoyed by the incorporation of Unity truth principles into a real guide to gaining wealth and helping others. I plan on starting a business within the next year and I purchased this copy of One Minute... for my potential business partner and Unity sister so that we will be forming and shaping the same buisness goals. Inspiring read!!!



2. Phenomenal! This is one of my favorite motivational books. It explains in two very different ways how to focus on your goals, find strength in yourself and others by building a network of mutually supporting and equally motivated people. Dreaming envisioning, believing and taking action is what this book explains with an encouraging perspective. The positive affirmations in this book are amazing. They are a part of my daily routine to help remind me of my goals and strive for my dreams. It also offers sensible business tips on networking, creative sales techniques and the importance of having multiple sources of income to gain your desired financial success. If you want to be inspired to achieve all of your goals, then this book is a must read.



3. If you are living and breathing, you need to read this book! I do believe it is the most powerful, thought provoking book I've ever read!



4. The sub-prime housing shopping frenzy was already well underway in the USA at the time that this book was recommended to me. I admit I liked the format. The underlying premise turned my stomach,however. Perhaps I've been under Malthus's influence for too long but my gut said "this represents trouble: Abundant housing in an environment where everybody's expecting to make a quick buck by 'flipping' as this book advocates has GOT to be a recipe for disaster. Middle America can only need so many houses - a lot of people are going to get their fingers burnt."
   
   What I didn't anticipate was the size of the impact - the butterfly flapped its wings in the mid-Western suburbs of the USA (trying to get out because the meadows where it breeds had been destroyed by the ticky-tacky houses popping up everywhere) and I felt the earthquake it caused in Africa.
   
   Authors like these share the responsibility for the world economic crisis as much as the fat cat bankers on Wall Street who didn't know when to say 'when'.



5. Brought the book because of the author - but reading it made me angry! Not one of the suggestions would work period. Flipping homes sure that works just not the way he says. Internet site no way does the money go directly into YOUR bank account and you don't just set up a web site and thousands of people are ordering from you (otherwise we would all be rich). Look at what amazon did to just get in the red lol. Save your money as this book will only enRICH the author.

5 comments about Unlimited Riches: Making Your Fortune in Real Estate Investing.

1. I have a few other real estate books and read a great review of this in the LA Times, (thinking they have been right before). This book does have a few good ideas and resent them well. The one thing I thought Robert would cover is HOW he secures some of his financing and different financing options. It felt a bit self-serving when he devoted too much space to the legal service he uses and now represents. I may look at his earlier works before I buy again. I would really love to hear from others on definitive real estate investing books.



2. The author structures most chapters around vague generalities. Each chapter contains several pitches to get readers to subscribe to the authors pay site for the "real" information. Secondly the author repeats himself so many times if you cut the book in half and gave each half to a friend neither friend would miss anything.
   The book is clearly a get rich scheme for the author akin to stuffing envelopes. The two stars it does get are for being semi motivational even though it lacks content.



3. If you've never read a book on real estate investing, I would recommend a more seriously written book on the subject, not this get rich quick book. I have read Robert Shemin's earlier books and this is a rehash of them. Try "investing in real estate" or "the unofficial guide to real estate investing". These two books are very well written and don't make real estate investing sound like a late night infomercial, as, unfortunately Robert Shemin's books do.



4. I have been reading these reviews and I just wanted to comment on them. I have yet to read this book but the topic is realistic. Flipping or wholesaling properties is very easy (once you have thoroughly researched your market), lucrative and legal. You can very well get properties well below market value. If you arrange the financing for your buyer and they have their exit strategy defined you can put them in the property without any money of their own. It is not some pie in the sky. It is the reality for many people. Granted you will not get the nicest property in the highest demand area, but you will get the property that has enough wrong with it to scare off the homebuyer who wants a pristine perfect house. There are two parts to the brain, the thinker and the prover, if the thinker wants to believe it impossible and think all the stories are made up, the prover will set out to prove them right. I don't know if this book has good info or not but the answers are out there and the deals are out there.



5. A solid beginners tome. Gives good advice on how to drum up business. I always say if you can get a couple of good ideas form a book that help you make some money, you've got your money's worth. One thing I really like are the true story tidbits inserted every so often. I really liked the idea on p. 94 and have begun to use this one myself.
   
   One of the weaknesses of a beginners book like this is that all too often they dont explain the numbers. Real estate is all about the numbers. No formulas to help you determine if a certain deal is actually good or not.
