Stovall
is a self-made millionaire and he wants you to be one too. This book
is not a “how to,” though. It is about the principles of wealth –
what kind of a person you need to be to get it and who you need to be
when you have it.
He
reminds you that money is a tool. It represents choices. The actual
money is not the issue, he says. It's not the number of zeros in your
bank balance. “If you have the money you need to do all of the
things you want in your life, you are financially successful...”
(20)
Some of
his suggestions are straightforward and practical. Get rid of debt.
Establish an emergency fund. Live on a budget. Don't try to impress
others with your wealth. He also gives the character qualities you
must have. Persistence. Focus. The ability to try again if you fail
your first time.
His
actual means for obtaining your wealth may surprise you. It puts all
the responsibility on you to choose the actual vehicle. But he gives
you lots of help at www.TheMillionaireMap.com.
You can also read a free preview of the book there.
Reading
this book will not guarantee you'll become a millionaire. It will
help you understand how it is done and what kind of person you need
to be to become one.
Food for
thought: “If you're not happy now, you never will be unless you
change your attitude, not your net worth.” (75)
