The Enlightened Way to Wealth.

Guest Reviewer Oyvind Hennum writes:

Mark Victor Hansen & Robert Allen define the Millionaire Minute as a discipline the rich are using to gain & grow their wealth. It involves simple, practical everyday money skills, & they define 7 important skills that wealthy people are good at.

The good thing is you do not have to be wealthy already; you can start to practice & develop these skills just where you are right now. There are many good points in the book & one of them is the possibility to earn an extra million in a lifetime on saving a dollar a day.

If you have read my review of Cracking the Millionaire Code: Your Key to Enlightened Wealth, & you are wondering if the books contain the same information, I can assure you they are different. The One Minute Millionaire is not as spiritually oriented & is safe for those who do not like to mix the idea of spirituality & business. I recommend both books & liked them very much.

So, a bit more of the good stuff from The One Minute Millionaire: it is split in two: The right-side pages tell the parable of a woman who loses everything & has to earn a million dollars in 90 days. The story is intense & dramatic, & of course, full of learning.

The left-side pages contain the facts & figures, & are very easy to read. The first chapter is called The Millionaire Aha's & teaches about the principles of wealth. According to Hansen & Allen there are at least 24 universal principles of wealth.

The other chapters are on these subjects: Leverage, Mentors, Teams, Networks, Skills, Tools and Systems. The book contains great information & is written in an engaging way. Hansen & Allen make it an experience in itself to read. It certainly lit the fire in me & I know that is what it is supposed to do. It is clearly in the Self-Help & Motivational categories.

I know many people are sceptic of this kind of literature, but what these books are giving to people is hope & inspiration. & many practical techniques to gain wealth, used by others with success. Many mistakenly think the books in & of themselves are going to change their financial situation, & get frustrated when they don't. The books are never giving you any guarantee that their system will make you a millionaire. That guarantee can only come from your desire & effort. Read the books, & get inspired!
