Summary: You need Multiple Streams of Income...
Review: I have attended Robert Allen seminars, read his books, and listened to his tapes. Multiple Streams of Income is now #1 in my financial library. Many books and seminars give you a brief overview of the how to make money - this book gives you a step by step plan. By following his system, I have made more residual income during the first four months of 2000, than I made in the entire year of 1999 - that's exciting! This book gives you multiple ways of earning multiple streams of income. With this book, I am proud to have Robert Allen as my personal success coach and mentor.

Summary: Bad Investment
Review: Robert Allen's book is a waste of time and money. He explores topics that are not reasonable for the average consumer. He gets the juices flowing for most people by dangling the possibilities of vast fortunes in front of his readers. He doesn't deliver. I've found other programs of his to be a disappointment as well. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

Summary: Absolutely Robert Allen's best work yet!
Review: This is the most informative, nuts and bolts book I have ever read on how the layman can become a millionaire in his or her lifetime. It is jam packed with information and strategies you can use the minute you buy the book to speed you quickly on your way to an abundance of wealth. Most importantly, you learn how to have this abundance in time to enjoy it yourself as well as being able to leave your heirs a huge estate. Bravo!

Summary: Extension of Rich Dad Poor Dad
Review: I studied Kiyosaki and Allen brings us one step further. Not only does he show us what to do, but tells you how to do it in an easy and manageable way for anyone to apply! This is a great investment.

Summary: Definitely worth buying, BUT...
Review: Overall a book worth reading and owning, if only for its inspiration. The basic finance and infopreneuring chapters are strongest, and his writting style is friendly and accessible. BUT...some of his strategies are probably too risky for most people (options), and others may be entirely ill-advised (the fees for most variable universal life policies are ridiculous).

Summary: Multiple = Maximum!
Review: This book shows how to generate passive income while you're sleeping. Great concepts and very accessible. As Michael Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited says, "If your business only depends on you, when you're out for lunch, you're out of business." Robert Allen dispels the myth that the harder you work the richer you get. It's a matter of managing and leveraging your income. This book is an excellent investment.

Summary: BUY IT FOR THE INFOPRENEURING CHAPTER ALONE!
Review: As a fellow author I realize that some people only respond publicly when they have something to criticize. This is definitely NOT a 1 star book! The well-chosen quotations add needed wisdom to this financial strategy book. I'm not a very big supporter of Network Marketing or the Accelerated Money Strategies because they both punish the novice in terms of time, money and effort. The risk is understated in both of these cases and I wish these chapters were not included in Robert's book. But the real gem of this book is the chapter on Infopreneuring (it's worthy of being a book in itself) His use of the fishing metaphor to illustrate his concepts is also, coincidentally, in line with my book, Men Are Like Fish.

Summary: Kids, don't try this at home!
Review: It starts off reasonably, telling you to save money and invest in the stock market, staying mostly with index funds. Good advice, but nothing new. It then talks about making 5-25% a month with the "Cooper Covered Call Technique", like this guy really invented writing covered calls on low priced momentum stocks. Yes, you can make some good profits doing this, and you can also have your head handed to you on a plate. As an example, two of the wonderful stocks Cooper wrote covered calls on were Organogenesis and Iomega, both of which have lost most of their value. If you want to write covered calls for fairly consistent profits read a real options book. But you'll never make 60-300% a year for any prolonged period of time. That's a joke. He then talks about buying real estate, tax lien certificates and a variety of other techniques, which are either very difficult and risky, or just not good for anything, at least for most people. Again, this stuff is nothing new. If it was so lucrative and easy everyone would do it. I'm sure a few people can make money network marketing, but I doubt many can, especially a million a year like he says his ex-secretary did. I'm particularly irked by his statement that tax liens certificates can not lose you money, since you can easily lose your entire investment if you don't know what you're doing. It takes significant expertise to buy these properly. Much of the book is a come on for his website where he tries to sell you stuff that won't help you. Save your money. Don't buy this book, and if you're really interested in any of these topics do a lot of other reading on these subjects before you do anything. I almost gave it zero stars, but it did make me laugh, so I guess that's something.
