Tony Robbins' Top Financial Student Gets an "A"!

Here's a truly excellent book on wealth. What most people aren't aware of (as a student of Tony Robbins Wealth Mastery Course) is that the power of belief precedes all planning and action. So to the average person there may not appear to be enough advice on what to do. But the most leverage really comes from the financial mindset and the wealth blueprints.The highlights of this book include: great quotations, clear charts and tables, and a thorough understanding of wealth unconsciousness (taught by Tony Robbins).I guess Tony won't be writing a finance book because this one tells about all there needs to be said at this level (belief and planning).For those who are looking for stock market advice (since the author is a stockbroker), his simple advice on buying the 10 highest yielding Dow stocks is really great. And if that's too much for investors to comprehend, then just buy an Index fund of the Dow (DIA). The key here is long-term passive investing in the highest-quality American companies. Active investing is a full-time job for pros. Daytrading is for dummies.There are too many gimmicky books on finance (too simple, for women only, Rich Dad's, etc.). This book is one of the truly great ones.

Terminate your fears of becoming rich!

I like this book, I really do. I think it teaches some important lessons that no other book does as far as I know. He really explains in detail, much more so than Tony Robbins does. Sure, his philosophy comes from Tony Robbins ideas but I think he is more focused to some few ideas whilst Tony has millions and millions of tips and ideas.The book has a diffrent approach to money, it teaches you to understand that you dont have to be ashamed of being rich and that you really deserve being rich. I love this book to tell you the truth. The books begin quite silly and I almost stop reading it after the first chapter but after the third chapter I Understood what the book was about. THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE TO MONEY, and it will unlock your power to become rich!This book is good as a complement to other financial books I think and the excerises are really good too. But if your searching for mathematical stuff and figures this book is not it, this book talks about who you are and what you can do to devolop in to a millionares attitudes, mindset, values and beliefs!A GREAT BOOK, BUY IT!!!

Excellent Advice - A must and easy read.

I have read countless books and listened to many tapes as I work towards my goal of financial independence. Tod Barnhart's strategies work. I have used them to turn a disasterous financial situation into a very envious one. I could have saved myself a lot of money on books and tapes had I read Tod's book first. Buy it today and act on his strategies - you will not be disappointed.

best money book I ever read

Best book on wealth-building you can buy: Barnhart does not pander to "gimme gimme" schemes, or strangle the reader in technical yarn. Rather, he offers simple, disciplined, sagely advise to liberate the human being's potential as well as his/her wallet. Long after the 3AM infomercial, get-rich-quick, pond scum have gone off the airwaves, Barnharts sound-to-the-core, Zen/Chicken Soup advise will be making smart and serious people smart and serious investors for a long time to come.

This book totally changed my attitude towards money.

This book totally changed how I viewed money and my attitude towards it. Tod Barnhart's well thought out logic about the 'Wealthy Mindset' and the 'Dream Traps' and even a brilliant section on 'How To Use This Book Effectively' really illuminated my misunderstandings about money and what I needed to do if I wanted to achieve financial success. (And I'm not a financial failure by any means!) This book was easy to read, fun, and had lots of interesting antecdotes that drove home each point in a visual story that I could definately relate to. There was some goal setting, which I needed to do, and I feel all the better for it. I highly reccommend this book.
