There are better ways to becoming a millionaire than trudging to your local store to buy a lottery ticket every week. The fact is your chances are 14 million to one. If you entered the lottery once every week, then—sure—you can expect to win. About once in every two hundred and seventy thousand years! But still there are those who believe that if they sit and listen as number after number is called out on the TV, that this will be their week. Their lucky break.

Then there are those that know that they must do more than watch spinning balls to make their lives a success; that in order to do more, to have more, to become master of their own destiny—they must change. They must act. And this book is for them.

Format:Paperback
This is another "success" book that reads very much like the superb Brian Tracy. In their own personal, intimate and fun style, the two millionaire authors explain how attitude is everything. They present some practical methods for applying the positive and generous outlook needed in order to do well.

Format:Paperback
There are some useful tips to achieve wealth in this book, mainly around goal setting and making use of your untapped creativity. A lot is covered in similiar titles and I found the remarks on the tax system and public education a little un-necessary and out of place.

eg. The authors at one point complain that they cannot opt out of the tax system, which would be more at home in a book discussing libertarian philosophy. Further on the authors appear to suggest that teachers in the public education system have it easy and if they really wanted to see how great they are at teaching then the system ought to be privatised so that teaching becomes a case of 'get what you pay for', this all ties in with the authors point that people expect to be paid for time rather than quality of service/product. I can see the author's point in this, as a teacher (or anything else) i'd like to feel that i'm doing a good job and not just being paid for my time, otherwise I have little value, however the tone of voice that comes across in this book is what has lead me to give it a low rating, while the authors do have a point, it's presented in a way that seems slightly bitter about the challenges of the private sector. If you sense it too whilst you read it, and carry on reading regardless, you may find some useful tips, or points of view, as I did. :)
