He got rich telling and selling a story about getting rich. It makes him a good salesman with a one trick pony, but it doesn't make him a savy investor. The book is decent motivation, but no real meat, just a lot of dangling carrots to get you to keep on buying his other books, seminars, tapes, etc. His Yahoo advice column is so full of bad math, scattershot advice, and contradictions that no matter what happens he can (and does) make the claim he predicted it. The folks I know who have made real money with real estate work very hard at it, take calculated risks, learn the business, and took a bit of serious time to build up to where they are. Just like the majority of people who become successful in anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19224574849867568.post-8541769787148524732008-01-11T19:04:00.000-08:002008-01-11T19:04:00.000-08:00I completely agree with you.

I would much rather have a 95% chance of becoming semi-rich by being disciplined and smart with my money rather than having a 10% chance of being super rich by taking big risks. That's just not my style.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902093555990315196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19224574849867568.post-18446337900894427582008-01-10T09:09:00.000-08:002008-01-10T09:09:00.000-08:00That's right and you got it.

Becoming very rich of course you have to take greater risks. This book doesn't really apply to me, because I don't really want to become very rich. I just want to be financial freedom instead.ChampDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551303930099640011noreply@blogger.com
