      Superb book .a must read to change belief system on being rich
    • 5/5
      Re-program your mind and be rich. This short book will change the way you feel, behave, and think about rich people and money. Highly suggest if you view money as painful, lacking, and are willing to let that go.
    • 1/5
      The second the author recommending joining a multi level marketing company I knew they were full of crap. If you're considering joining an MLM or "direct sales" business, please do yourself a favor and read the legally required income disclosures in the fine print of their website. The vast majority of people will LOSE money and of those who do profit, most are making under $100 YEARLY and this doesn't include products they may be required to purchase themselves to do demos etc.
    • 5/5
      Excellent book. This should be required reading for all business students.

    About the Author

    Back Cover

    I don’t care what anyone says. Being rich is a good thing.

    –Mark Cuban

    Introduction

    This book isn’t about money. It’s about thinking. Each short chapter represents one of the lessons I’ve learned over the past twenty-six years interviewing some of the richest people in the world. Every chapter compares the middle class and world class. These terms reference the average person versus the world-class thinker. The idea is to compare the way most people think about money in contrast to the rich. The differences are as extreme as they are numerous.

    When I started this journey in 1984, I was a college student, completely broke and searching for answers about success I wasn’t finding in the classroom. My discoveries along the way changed my life, and I wrote this book to give you the same opportunity. If you follow the beliefs, philosophies, and strategies of the rich and take action, you have a legitimate shot at becoming a millionaire. The secret is not in the mechanics of money but in the level of thinking that generates it. Once you learn to embrace this, your earning potential is limitless.

    If you find yourself saying not all rich people believe this or do that,—of course you’re right. I based these comparisons on what the majority of rich people shared with me. This also applies to what I say about the masses.

    I interviewed rich people because I wanted to be rich. What I discovered was, to get rich, I had to learn to think like a rich person. I spent the first twenty-five years of my life thinking about money like the masses, which kept me broke. Once I changed my thinking, the money started to flow. The changes began with my thinking, which led me to take effective action that eventually made me a millionaire. Don’t be impressed or intimidated by my success or anyone else’s, because you can do exactly the same thing. Let this book be your guide.

    I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Please let me know how you’re progressing by visiting mentaltoughnessblog.com and sharing your story.

    All the best,

    Steve Siebold
