Summary: MUCH TO MY SURPRISE-A small change can make a big difference
Review: A few months ago I saw a book on the Internet, "The One Minute Millionaire". The authors of this book were Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen. I knew of Mark Victor Hansen because of his involvement with the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I was curious about what type of book this would be with Mark Victor Hansen as one of the authors. So I ordered the book.
The weeks past and truly I had forgotten that I had ordered it. I arrived home from work and my husband said a package came for me. Upon opening the package I found the book, plus a CD. The book intrigued me. I started reading it and found it was unlike any book I had previously read. The book is actually two books in one. The left hand pages are theory and the right hand pages are a story. I started reading the book together, but the story got my attention.
The story is one where you think nothing else could go wrong, but it does!! Every free minute I had I found myself wanting to read the book. When I wasn't reading the book I found myself thinking about the story and wondering how it would turn out. Well this morning I finished reading the book, the story part of the book. I read a lot of books, and I can honestly say this book is one that inspired me to write about it.
The book not only teaches principles for becoming independent, it truly teaches good values for life. It uses real life situations and analogies that really do make you think.
One analogy I especially like is:
"The wind might cause a kite to rise, but what keeps it up there is the fact that somebody on the ground has a steady hand. You have to hold steady to your values - your integrity. It's your anchor. You let go of that...well, it isn't long before your kite comes crashing down."
The title of the book, "The One Minute Millionaire" is intriguing but after reading the book the second title, "The Enlightened Way to Wealth" now makes sense to me. Enlightened being the key word!
To sum it up I would say:
It's not all about money,
it's about helping yourself, helping others and giving back.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And better yet, I hope it sparks an idea or makes you look at how you live your life.
"A small change can make a big difference."

Summary: A fun book with real substance.
Review: I have read several of Robert Allens books in the past including Nothing Down, Creating Wealth and Multiple Streams of Income. And I have several of the Chicken Soup books coauthored by Hansen. Both are outstanding authors who actually deliver with style and substance.The One Minute Millionaire is actually two books in one The first is motivation mixed with how to on real estate, network marketing, internet and business which runs on the left facing pages. On the right facing pages runs the 2nd book--this one is a fictional story. To me this part reminded me of a current times version of Og Mandino's books which I have always enjoyed. The fictional part showcases a mother whose husband has died. She loses her house and her children. This builds the dramatic story of this widowed mother who takes a job as a waitress. As the story unfolds to get her children back, she needs to make a million dollars. The balance of the tale shows her attempt to earn a million dollars with the help of a mentor. I found the combining of a fictional with a how to book in one book, refreshing and stimulating. Although the title is a little catchy, there is is much substance. You will learn: * The 24 principles of the Enlightened Millionaire * The power of 1 great idea * The 7 money skills of highly prosperous people * How to develop multiple streams of income * The 6 forms of leverage * The 10 most powerful techniques for buying real estate
with little or no money down * The essentials of marketing success And a delightful story about a woman that made it! The One Minute Millionare will leave you fresh and renewed to pursue your goals and achieve them.

Summary: Conceptually OK... lacks some real substance
Review: I heard about this book on a talk show and picked it up just to see what all the hype was about. The concepts in this book are OK, but don't give any real guidance as to how you become independently wealthy. Take for example the section on real estate - I've got to be honest, but I felt as though it was an infomercial for one of the co-author's other books on how to buy and sell real estate.
The book is interesting in its presentation. On the left-hand side of the book is the "how to" on becoming a millionaire while the right-hand side of the book is the same content, but told in a story through the main character of recently widowed woman challenged to make one million dollars in certain time period or risk losing her children to her evil father-in-law. There's your movie right there!
I struggled giving this book 3 stars. The reason is because in the story, one of the ways this woman and her team of millionaire lackeys attempt to make money is SPAM everyone they got business cards from. Any book that directs you to send out an e-mail requesting people's credit card numbers WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF SECURE TRANSACTION - HELLO - ENCRYPTION, ANYONE! - doesn't deserve a high rating. You know what? I changed my mind - this gets 2 stars.

Summary: To Be or Not To Be...Rich!!!
Review: I highly recommend this book. Here's why!:
You have two really good authors in Mark Hansen and Robert Allen. The left and right side of each page follows it's own story. The left side is factual (the nuts and bolts of real estate investing for the novice). The right side is fictional (about a woman seeking how to extracate herself out of a poverty mentality). The topics on each page harmoneously enhance the opposite page.
I enjoy books on real estate investing. I got two books in this one. There's a myth out there that investing in real estate with little or no money down is taking advantage of a seller's unfortunate circumstances. This book shows how to create true Win/Win situations.
This book helps explain the process and how to overcome years of fears and negative thinking to get to a place in life where a person can be better off financially.
If you enjoyed the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books, you'll like this one. If you've enjoyed the excellent and reliable books on real estate investing by Robert Allen, you'll like this one, too. There is nothing out of the ordinary here. It's fact with believable fiction. It is an inspiring book. I bought one for a friend who wanted to get into real estate investing a year ago. He paid me back with a steak dinner when he closed on his first investment property.
Great book. Five stars, easy!

Summary: THE handbook on creating wealth-CARPE DIEM
Review: Multiple Streams of Income is the best results oriented financial book since Charles Givens More Wealth Without Risk with the advantage that MSOI has even more income producing strategies than Givens. You find find everything you need to know to create cash streams. You will learn how to invest profitably, use Cooper Covered Calls, trade options successfully, invest in real estate, tax liens and discounted mortgages as well as start your own super successful networkmarketing business on a shoestring and create wealth on the internet. Regarding the 1 star reviews and other reviews "warning" about this book and the techniques, take it for what it's worth. As far as I am concerned, their advice is worth about a nickel, if that. This guy (it really is only one person with a agenda) has way too much free time and perhaps makes too much money spamming and selling names. Robert Allen on the other hand will teach you how to use the internet profitably and with integrity. Great book Robert. CARPE DIEM! (SIEZE THE DAY!)))

Summary: Powerful and inspiring
Review: Robert Allen and Mark Victor Hansen have scored another winner with The 1 Minute Millionaire. I have many tapes from Hansen that were promoted by SMI many years ago. And I have read some of Robert Allens books, most notably Multiple Streams of Income, Nothing Down and Creating Wealth. I'm in network marketing and am h appy to see prominent people like Robert Allen, Mark Victor Hansen, Robert Kiyosaki, Brian Tracy and others promoting this concept of wealth creation. As everybody knows by now, The 1 Minute Millionaire is both fictional and non fictional. The fictional part is a story about a mother who must create income quickly. The non fiction part showcases Hansen's and Allen's most famous strategies. As a result this book is both inspiring and educational. I recommend The 1 Minute Millionaire for anyone. It can change your life.

Summary: Enlightening
Review: This book is a Charter Member of my Self-Help Collection.
If you haven't read it yet, then you are probably still in
the process of getting to where you want to be, rather than
WHERE you actually want to be.
There are a number of KEY books that helped me to develop
the best aspects of myself as a man and as a person. This
book is a classic member of that collection. It is timeless,
universal, and very entertaining (especially because of its
unique 2-books-in-one structure.)
Other books and self-help products which are on par with this book are:
NEW SEX NOW: Life's Ultimate Pleasure
Giant Steps
RICH DAD, POOR DAD
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Self Matters
7 Spiritual Laws of Success
Ageless Mind, Timeless Body
THE 4 AGREEMENTS
The Power of Concentration
GODDESS WORSHIP
I believe that anyone who wants to be a great person would do well to study all of the above very sincerely.

Summary: Inspiring read
Review: This book is a fascinating combination of left and right brain learning. The fiction story, while a bit of a stretch for the imagination at times, kept me interested. The non-fiction, practical information is excellent. This book gave me a lot of ideas for my business which I have been implementing now for several months, and the ideas have really increased my prosperity! I am also in tune with the idea of enlightened wealth- not money for the sake of money, but earning money while being of service and sharing the wealth with good causes.

Summary: Amazon you need to give more stars. On a scale from 1-5,
Review: This book is at least a 10. Seriously, I have long been a fan of both Mr. Allen and Mr. Hansen. This book is great. It combines both fiction with non fiction and as a result you have a mega best seller and super book that can create powerful results for people who actually read and use the concepts in the book. The fictional story is inspiring and really not that far off what others have done. It reminds me of Allens excellent book "The Challenge", how Allen took three people straight out of the unemployment lines. People who were broke and frustrated and showed them how to earn $5,000 in real estate in three months. So the fictional part is no really so fictional at all. The non fictional part is the best of Allen and Hansen and delivered in a new and exciting way. You'll learn how to use the internet, real estate and n etwork marketing. Overall, a great book. Inspiritional, motivational and educational. Certaintly better than reading JBQ's antiquated and boring nonsense. Good book. Highly recommended.
