Summary: An advertisment in book form.
Review: If you really want the detailed "how to" information that is baited in this book you need to go to Robert Allen's web site, which is referenced throughtout the book. And what do you see when you get there? Seminars and other publications that cost serious money to actually learn to do what he is preaching. While the basic premise of the book is correct, don't be fooled to think you'll be able to take specific action, except for buying more of his material.

Summary: A Book Worth Reading
Review: The latest book by Robert Allen is perhaps the best he's ever written. One of the things I like best about it is that it gives several different options for how to make money. In addition to that, there are some outstanding chapters on how to KEEP more of your money. One of the other reviews asks whether you'd like to read a book by someone like Robert Allen who has encountered adversity in his life. I answer that with a resounding YES! Who better to learn from than someone who has been in the trenches and lived it rather than one who has merely observed it from some ivory tower? If nothing else, EVERYONE should read this book to learn how entrepreneurial minds think. That alone makes this a book well worth reading and well worth far more than the money spent to purchase it.

Summary: Not sure if it work
Review: Robert Allen's idea of having a multiple stream of income seems so easy. While I agree that you have to control your expenses and invest for the future as a strategy in this book, I am not sure if other strategies work. For example, he likes to preach the nothing-down strategy in buying real estate. However, in my country, at least, it is govern by the law that 20% downpayment is a must. Even if one can borrow to pay an initial downpayment, the interest cost will have killed the buyer. Therefore, I would say that by all means, read this book but with an open mind to decide for oneself as to whether the strategies work for you.

Summary: it's just so easy!
Review: This is an interesting book, if for no other reason than that it got me thinking on how to make money. However, the examples did not factor in costs (taxes, fees, etc.). Mr Allen, in this book, does give the reader one big long infomercial. This book lacked specifics. He also admits in the book that alot of these expensive seminars these infopreneurs give simply re-hash info from their cheaper products (books, audiotapes, etc.). This made me suspect how useful the suggestions in this book really were. It's an ok place to start your thinking!

Summary: Excellent financial guide
Review: I personally have been using Robert Allen's techniques to purchase real estate with no and little money down for about 9 years and his methods are "REAL". I am now taking these techniques and going to the next level. The true secret to his techniques are just doing it! I highly recommend this and other Robert Allen books as great reference guides. Ask yourself, what is "your" networth???

Summary: Young people just starting out should read this ...
Review: It is about knowledge and it is about discipline. This book would best serve young people just starting out and needing some basic financial knowledge. It opens thoughts and perhaps gives some tools to getting started toward building financial wealth and ultimate success. Whether or not they put this information into play they will come to appreciate such sound financial advice. Real estate is always a key element to any financial success. An interesting well documented read that enables the reader to think for themselves while getting to the dollars and cents of financial success. Title says it all.

Summary: No Whining Please...
Review: This is a great book, despite the whiners who've placed their sniveling reviews. One complained "this stuff doesn't work for average people". Excuse me, Dear Socialist, but NOTHING works for average people. Only a few percent of the population are wealthy and probably always will be. Of course our socialist friends had to complain about "MLM". I'll be the first to help them catalog the problems with it. I can't say that I really like Allen's pick of an MLM company either. But to say "it just doesn't work" or that it ruins people's lives is just going overboard. The only people's lives it ruins are the ones who have a lottery ticket mentality who will fail no matter what they do...even if they do hit the lottery some day. This book has revealed more "insider secrets" to making money to average people than any other work of its kind. Folks need to realize that the sales courses that are tacked on as "back end products" may not appreciably increase their knowledge. But as far as food for thought goes, this is one of the best books for people to get their hands on. Kiyosaki tells people to move to becoming focused on the "B" and "I" quadrant. Allen tells you HOW! Forget all the whiners. They probably still think MONEY MAGAZINE tells them the truth about investing!

Summary: Do you have the guts to be wealthy?
Review: . This book should be read by everyone that is over the age of 18 that is smart enough to think about the future. If you are reading this review, chances are this is the type of person you are. There are two ways of looking at life. One method is to look to the future and considers the effects of time when making financial decisions. The other method, one lives in the present moment with no thought for the future. Which one are you? Consider this: Which would you rather have? $10,000 one time, or $500 more a month for life? It is surprising the number of people who only live in the present moment without giving a thought for the future. If you do the math, you will see that after 20 months the $500/month income stream will yield $10,000. So after 20 months, you are making more money! If you live 30 years, that will be worth $180,000.00. It will probably be worth much more as the value of a smart investment will rise and the income from it will increase. So if you have a choice between a new car that will depreciate quickly over time and sap your financial resources, and a 3 year old car which cost 1/2 the price, that allows you to invest the difference and create growing investments and provide you additional income, there is only one smart choice. Buy this book, if you: 1) Have the desire to become wealthy and, 2) Have the will power to be smart with you investments and, 3) Have the intelligence to realize the time value of money. Make sure you have a good financial calculator and know how to use it too. You will need it to figure out where to invest all that extra money when it starts rolling in.

Summary: The secret is to DO IT!
Review: Robert Allen's techniques have elevated me into the top 1% of income earners in the US. I have bought and sold over $1,000,000 worth of real estate using only about $5,000 of my own cash. I saw the power of real estate and then followed his example in Network Marketing. The real secret to his books is to read it AND DO IT! Otherwise you get caught in "Analysis Paralysis". ANYONE can do most of the things Robert writes about. But you have to actually get up the courage to go out and try (and fail). One of the reviewers wrote about how people read books like this, then fail to act. They then blame the system and not their own inability to act. I think the real power in this book is to show that you don't need a PhD to do several of the things Robert writes about. His book will show you dozens of ways to add streams of income, simply, and with little risk. Nothing good will fall into your lap. You need to go out and hunt it down. Multiple Streams of Income will help you get there, IF, you do it, and don't make excuses.
