The Last Chance Millionaire: It's Not Too Late to Become Wealthy

According to Doug Andrew, the bestselling author of Missed Fortune 101, too many Americans are being led down the wrong financial path. Even worse, many Baby Boomers find themselves panicking-fearful that they've already fallen too far behind to ever catch up. In this indispensable and eye-opening guide, Andrew provides fresh new pathways to reaching financial security - pathways that all Americans need to consider now. Centering on his Three Miracles of Wealth Accumulation: the Miracle of Compound Interest, the Miracle of Tax-Favored Accumulation, and the Miracle of Positive, Safe Leverage, Andrew explodes many of the commonly-held myths about 401ks, pensions, paying down one's mortgage, and other forms of retirement planning. Along the way, Andrew offers unique strategies that will not only increase your wealth, but also help listeners enjoy their best years while securing their future.

The Science of Getting Rich

As featured in the bestselling book The Secret, here is the landmark guide to wealth creation republished with the classic essay How to Get What You Want. Wallace D. Wattles spent a lifetime considering the laws of success as he found them in the work of the world's great philosophers. He then turned his life effort into this simple, slender book a volume that he vowed could replace libraries of philosophy, spirituality, and self-help for the purpose of attaining one definite goal: a life of prosperity. Wattles describes a definite science of wealth attraction, built on the foundation of one commanding idea: There is a thinking stuff from which all things are madeA thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. In his seventeen short, straight-to-the-point chapters, Wattles shows how to use this idea, how to overcome barriers to its application, and how work with very direct methods that awaken it in your life. He further explains how creation and not competition is the hidden key to wealth attraction, and how your power to get rich uplifts everyone around you. The Science of Getting Rich concludes with Wattle's rare essay How to Get Want You Want a brilliant refresher of his laws of wealth creation.

The Millionaire Zone: Seven Winning Steps to a Seven-Figure Fortune

Most get-rich books are gimmicky. They focus on one artificial technique like cutting out lattes that will supposedly make you a millionaire (in thirty years, maybe). But for many of us, the enormity of the challenge leads to fear, confusion, frustration, and failure. What if there was a "no fear" path to success that allowed you to use what you already know-the people, places, and opportunities right in front of you-to give you a real chance at making real money? National financial commentator Jennifer Openshaw leads the way in The Millionaire Zone.

Finance Your Business

The author emphasizes that the Board of Directors should start every meeting discussing the customers. What are they thinking? How is our franchise doing? What are the metrics of repeat business? Trial and similar questions. Why? Because financials are reasonably straightforward, most Board members are good understanding them without conversation, and customers are the foundation of every organization. The author points out this is as true for educational institutions, regarding alumni and students, often considered mere irritants in Board discussions. Who is to be served? The management? The shareholders are those constituents. The author points out that close listening to the wants, dislikes, and desires of the customers is the foundation of profit as the great marketing companies have found from P & G, to Coke, to IBM. When Lou Gerstner, turnaround expert extraordinaire from McKinsey, took over IBM he penciled in 40% of his time to listen to customers. What were they thinking? What did they want? A long term customer of a simple product like Corn Flakes or Cool Whip can mean thousands and thousands of dollars over a lifetime--and a good news messenger as well. A loyal car customer can mean 250,000 or more over a lifetime. Start here. With the customer. The great companies do from Apple to Amazon; the great educational institutions do from Harvard to Stanford; the weaker ones get off course such as McDonald's did (too pricey) but recovered. The magic of Apple is their long term customers...like them. We all should take note. Keywords: Customers, Board, Board of Directors, Shareholders, McKinsey, McDonald's, IBM, Lou Gerstner, Apple, Corn Flakes, Cool Whip, nonprofits, business.
