The Five Lessons A Millionaire Taught Me: About Life and Wealth

Rating:
Summary: Very Simple, Yet Very Helpful!
Review: Amazing enough the millionaire secrets are really explained in 5 simple yet very effective lessons. I purchased this book and have been to the author's seminars and love (absolutely love) what I have learned. I have passed it onto family and friends who have also loved what they have learned. I have now started my own business and you can find my products on amazon.com too!

Summary: Wish I would have started living these Lessons years ago!
Review: I found that Mr. Evans' storytelling skills make reading a book about money realities much more fun! He shares many life experiences and personal examples about why these Lessons work. This book is an important teaching tool and I hope that more teens and college kids will read it and apply these priciples today so they can have more peace of mind in the future. And while Mr. Evans teaches the basics about money, debt-reduction, saving and much more, my favorite aspect of this book is it's focus on spiritual motivations and helping to change our attitudes towards money.

Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Review: I have struggled for many years as a single parent to provide for my child and stay out of debt. Living paycheck to paycheck has been a way of life that i accepted as my only option. When i read this book i learned that the mentality outlined in the 5 Lessons could be followed with great success even by a person with little income. At the age of seven my daughter is seeing the differnce in the way we make and spend money, it is one of the most valuable lessons she can learn. I highly recommed this book regardless of your financial status, there is something in it for everyone.

Summary: I don't even have the book yet
Review: I heard Richard Evans being interviewed on the radio about his book and the seven magic words. I ordered the book same day as the radio show, also used the seven magic words on the same day and saved about $30.00 on just one small purchase. It was amazing. Can't wait to get the book.

Review: I read this book! It was amazing how it changed my whole way of thinking about money! I made immediate changes in my spending and saving habits that in just one week saved me several hundred dollars! And what I liked most about The Five Lessons was the way Richard Paul Evans incorporated real stories of real people who had found financial success in amazing ways. Excellent book!
Excellent author! I bought copies for several of my friends who have thanked me over and over again!

Summary: Motivated at Last!
Review: I've been to lots of seminars, read lots of books, tried lots of time to discipling myself to put my financial house in order; but I've never been motivated like I was reading this book. I'm a voracious library reader...never a buyer but I'm on-line today to buy copies of this book for me and all my family. And that includes my parents, my in-laws, brothers and sisters, and my kids. 'Nuff said.

Summary: SOME FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS
Review: Okay, after all of the ooohs and aahhhhs have settled regarding this book let's all take a deep breath and get real. In the first place this book makes one monumental error in assumption: that material wealth is the end all, beat all of life and that virtually every human being on the earth today can be a millionaire! I suppose that if getting rich is your goal then FIVE LESSONS... is the book for you. Otherwise be careful with this one and be ready to be disappointed.

The author goes to great lengths to sound like a down-to-earth guy who followed the rules that he presents and became a millionaire. But then he begins to throw in questionable stuff about hoarding precious metals and getting involved in "appropriate" schemes like network marketing in order to make it all happen.

Please! The advertisements regarding this book, packed nicely in the advertising spaces before and after the LDS General Conference broadcasts, were all too telling. This was to be a book that was different than the usual gospels of proponents of get-rich-quick thinking. What emerged was a monumental bait and switch that made it seem that this book was a modest, clean way to manage life appropriately. Instead the author can't resist vomiting up the usual flotsam and jetsam regarding material wealth as being the "normal" outcome of a life well lived (and rules well followed).

My two stars are for some good advice about avoiding debt and watching where your pennies are going. The other three were as hard to obtain as the material wealth promised by following the tenets propounded in this book!

Summary: 5 Lessons EVERYONE Should Know!
Review: Simple, simple, simple common things that once you read this book, you say to yourself, "Gee, why didn't I know that before?"

I met Mr. Evans tonight at a fireside meeting and he completely validated every thought I had been having about how to make it out of debt and how to become successful at life. I was homeless- living in a shelter away from my husband. We were newlyweds and it all fell apart a mere month after we married. After realizing how far we fell, I worked and worked (mostly without help from my husband) to get us out of that. Now, barely 2 months later, we live in a decent apartment, both me and my husband work full-time, and we're finally accumulating savings. Seeing Mr. Evans tonight made me realize how much I wish that I'd known this all before I had to learn it myself the hard way. I am thankful that he is out there, sharing this with everyone.

I can't wait to get my copy of the book. :)

Summary: Winning in the Margins WOW
Review: This book has changed my life. My wife and I have been living The Five Lessons for months and are accomplishing many of our financial goals. The 5 Lessons are very basic. I had actually heard most of The Lessons before with one exception WINNING IN THE MARGIN. Everyone needs to learn this. This book provides so many great ideas. The $12.95 cost of the book has paid itself off over 100 times. I plan on purchasing copies for newly married couples. If they live The Five Lessons, especially WINNING IN THE MARGINS, it will help them achieve success. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
