Summary: HIS KITS ARE TOTALLY OUTDATED
Review: In this book, you are asked to look into buying Mr. Hicks' "Success Kits," because they supposedly get you "on the right track."Gimme a break! Click on Mr. Hicks' name under the title. This will give you a list of other books written by him. Scroll down to his "Kits" Most of them about mail-order, real estate, etc. were published in 1987! Wow. Talk about outdated!

Summary: I've bought your book - now stop selling at me!!
Review: One or two tentative ideas hidden amongst 342 pages of adverts for more of his products. Every time I came across another "plug" for one of his "kits" or "handbooks", I believed less and less in what he had to say.
Sort of like the literary equivalent of the door-to-door insurance salesman!
If you could get past the adverts, then there is some value in the ideas and motivational messages.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE!
Review: Should be titled: 203 OTHER BOOKS AND THINGS YOU CAN BUY FROM TYLER HICKS TO MAKE HIM RICH!

Summary: Awful
Review: This book is so broad and generalized it sounds like its written by a call-in psychic. The author barely touches on a handful of businesses, then fills the rest of the book with self-promotional material. As for there being 203 business, he lists them at the back of the book, one line each! Nicholas Fry

Summary: Terrible, a waste of money and space on my bookshelf!
Review: This is probably the worst book on business that I have ever read. The business suggestions that Tyler Hicks gives are not realistic and will NOT make you rich. Additionally, he spends most of his time selling his other products. To me, this book is the prototypical "get rich quick" scheme that never works for anyone. Don't waste your money.

Summary: The only source for real business opportunities
Review: Ty Hicks writes books that are pre-sale materials for his other more detailed products. They are intended to show the wealth seeker the possibilities. Many of the reviewers that critized the Hicks materials probably paid thousands for an education that has not made wealthy other wise they would not have looked at this book. Specialized knowledge is what Hicks is selling. The "kits" provide the details. They are larger and more expensive and would be marketable in a book store. The newsletter has real info on loan sources. Hicks does actually answer his phone and will answer your questions. There are no other books in a book store that will give everything needed to actually run a business and learn the business. Even my other favorite, Robert Kiosaki, doesn't tell what to do in any of the Rich Dad books. So get over it and get off you rear and stop read these books and start doing business.

Summary: Still an interesting book for ideas
Review: While I would agree with most other reviewers that this is more of an "idea" book and not much on the nuts-and-bolts, still, every great business in the world did start with an idea.
The author uses repeated references to his own products because that is what he knows best and his product line was fabulously successful in sales! I did not find these mentions distractive.
The reference list of associations in Chapter 5 is useful and handily organized. The list of products/services in the back does contain some business ideas that I had not considered before.
The banking and loan information tips are particularly valuable and presented in easy-to-understand terms. The author's advice is excellent, and the average person probably does not know how to approach the applications in the way he explains.
