Customer Reviews

Been there, done that ... and I'm very grateful!

First a disclaimer; yes I've read the book, but I've also implemented in my life virtually all of the ideas discussed in this book and am one of the people mentioned in the book as a "Maui Millionaire" and will be attending my 4th Maui Mastermind this next week. I thus obviously have a bias, but can also tell you that the ideas presented have worked for me and others in a tremendous way for which I'm very grateful. A passion of mine is helping others with their finances which I've done with 1000's for the last 15 years, but until after I attended my first Maui Mastermind event in 2003 I didn't realize how much more I had to learn (and continue to) although at that point I was very fortunate to already be a "millionaire" at 40 who had started with nothing. I continue to counsel people on their finances usually for free, although this week I taught 55 managers at a large retail store about financial intelligence. My brother has a training company and he asked the plant manager what they needed most ... and I was happily surprised that he requested we teach them about personal finances. The reason I mention this is I've talked to a lot of people about finances and personally have been with no money but starting to accumulate some via saving from work, and then through a lot of diligence (i.e. mindset suggested in "the Millionaire Next Door") and some good fortune with the stock market (stock options) was able to accumulate a fair amount. I now view things and act a lot differently due to the ideas presented in this book that I learned in Maui. The Maui Mastermind event has radically changed how I think. My financial goal used to be to have enough to comfortably live on and help others, but now I see with the right MINDSET, KNOWLEDGE, and RELATIONSHIPS I can (and am) continuing to grow my wealth way beyond what I need in order to SHARE it with others and make a even bigger impact on the world AND do it in way that I enjoy (i.e. a balanced life ... like taking most of this last summer off to spend time with my family). * My personal opinion of this book is that by itself it's a "very good book". Notice I said by itself. One of things that I've been amazed at over the years is David & Diane's ability to not just teach the concepts (which you'll learn in the book), BUT to give you the very practical's on HOW to actually do it. One of the other reviews mentioned that some of this information has been mentioned elsewhere. I believe one of David & Diane's gifts is taking concepts and really helping people implement them into their lives. When you combine the book with DOING what's suggested and the wealth of information and tools on their web-site (www.MauiMillionaireBook.com) is when it can help radically change your life in my experience. * The other thing I respect is that David & Diane don't just teach this information, I've seen them and many others LIVE these principles and can attest it's a great way to live.

Life-Changing!

Going through the Wealth Operating System (W.O.S) exercise allowed me to see the limiting beliefs I've had regarding wealth (and my life). Changing these beliefs is now allowing me to see everything differently - from personal communication to business opportunities and, has even played an influencial role in the relationships with my own children. I also started a mastermind group within 72 hours of reading the book and it is literally changing my life! My 19-year old son also read this book and it too has had such an amazing impact on him that he has completely re-thought not only his personal view of wealth but his career/educational path. Don't hesitate to purchase this book - it can change your life!

What I wish Rich Dad/Poor Dad had done better

Understand that I wouldn't even have cared about this type of book if it had not have been for Mr. Kiyosaki. With that said, I have to say this is an excellent book on many levels. It is divided into 6 parts. Part I: Upgrade your Wealth Operating Systems deals with changing beliefs. Better than average use of some NLP techniques to "reframe" your poor beliefs about money. It works from identifying the beliefs, weakening, removing and replacing with better beliefs. Again, this isn't an overnight process. Part II: Dream Big! Imagine David Swartz's book Magic of Thinking Big in three chapters or less. Part III: Mastermind Your way to millions! Great material on MM groups, better than alot of what I've seen in other books devoted completely to the subject (sorry about that Joe V.). Makes suggestions that I wish previous MM's I had been part of had utilized. Part IV: Build to Level 3 wealth and enjoy a Maui Lifestyle. Okay, after awhile even I got tired of the phrase "Maui Millionaire." However, these chapters talk of how to get started (wherever you are) and move toward a Level 3. Level 3 goal: Converting large parts of net worth into secure income streams and solid, long-term investments. Lev. 2 goal? build assets and financial skills. Lev. 1 goal? Build solid base of financial and investment skills. Part III introduces some formulas for measuring your progress that I just L-O-V-E! They summarize it as a "Wealth Scorecard" which works wonderful for the MasterMind groups. Part V: Tap into Maui Giving to Create a Legacy that Lives Beyond You! I particularly enjoyed the chapter on using leverage to sustain giving beyond my liftetime. It had great questions for evaluating Nonprofits/charities. Part VI: The Final Inch. More about giving, which is summarized by "We're saying don't let saving stop you from giving." Shares a quick stretch your money belief exercise on giving. Online stuff associated with the book: Wow! 5 star plus! Summary: If you are currently in a MM devoted to improving your business/financial life, then this book will offer several tools that will easily propel you toward something possibly better than you had previously dreamed of. *****

The Maui Millionaires - A Life Changing Book

The Maui Millionaires is truly beyond great!!! I've read a lot of books that book sellers may consider in the same category as The Maui Millionaires; however, having read this book, I have to say that it is in a class of its own. Nothing I've ever read compares. The Maui Millionaires offers a detailed, step-by step guide (complete with action plans) to anyone who seeks to become a millionaire. The authors of this book are so serious about helping their readers become millionaires that they offer them an online, wealth building Mentorship Program included in the price of the book. This book is destined to change many lives!
