Está bien, sin embargo la excesiva propaganda es desesperante.

Holy crap this did not age well. My favorite parts are Donald Trump as financially aspirational, lots of women be shopping, and MLMs as a great pathway to success.

Simple, it’s all about the mindset and who you surround yourself with

This is some circular-logic grifter shit that only exists to sell a course. Cringe af. Donald Trump's not gonna fuck you, Harv.

This was short, but very informative. It should change your mindset.

Enjoyed this book. Made me realize a lot of my internal beliefs about money led to financial problems through out life. Looking forward to living with these new internal beliefs and new lessons. I plan to revisit this book to reread some of my highlights and pages marked.

A misleading title. There are not any secrets in this book. And I felt like there were few practical applications suggested by the author. At best, this is a motivational book, with a "pay for my course to get the practical tips" at the end. I found his "secrets" to be quite flamboyant and degrading to those of different wealth classes. Suggesting that everyone NEEDS a business to become wealthy is not true at all.

There are nuggets of gold in this book, but too few for me to rate it over 2 stars. I think other readers MIGHT find this book useful if they were to give it a read. It all depends on where you're at in your finance journey I suppose. Looking for a dose of hope? Maybe this is the book for you!

For me, I think the author uses the word "poor" people too lightly in this book. At best he blanket statements that all poor people are where they are due to their choices. Being poor is not infallible to choice; being broke COULD be from choice. What about children in third world countries that are born into nothing? I found his perspective very limiting and frustrating.

I also strongly disliked how the author kept mentioning the universe and how it will give you what you think.

Here's the best nuggets of wisdom I gleaned from this read:
1) Paragraph the reasons why you want to be wealthy. I will likely do this suggestion and paste it on my fridge.
2) Read a finance book every month (a good suggestion, sorry Eker, I won't be reading your book again).

I guess these are the two pointers I extrapolated from this text. That's another reason it has only earned two stars from me!
