This video summarizes a book hailed as the successor to Napoleon Hill’s classic: Think and Grow Rich. I’m not sure that you can just think your way to $7 million in 7 years … but, having a burning reason why you might need that much / that soon sure seemed to help me.
But, I can’t help feeling: did I think, therefore attract … or did I happen to think and happen to attract? I guess we’ll never know for sure, as we are all an Experiment of One 🙂
Sharon Lechter was one of the authors of the Rich Dad Poor Dad Series of rubbish. That pretty much permanently discredits anything she may have to say.
Kind of an unusual story here. I think what I best picked up form this is that sometimes, when experiencing a problem in business, or life for that matter, is that we are sometimes to close to the problem to see the answer. Sometimes, its better to take a step back, ask someone who is looking in . They just may provide some useful answers. Like the guy who bought the mine.

Couldn’t agree more. Kiyosaki is such a balloon of hot air and bad advice. One of the very few celebrities that really makes me angry. Him and Nancy Grace.
@ Jake – I’m much more tolerant of RK, it seems, than many others. I guess this is because RDPD was the first (or second … coming just after or before The Richest Man In Babylon) personal finance book that I read; it opened my eyes to some important ideas:
– Money can be managed,
– The ‘real’ difference b/w an asset and a liability
– [hence,] why your home is not an asset
– the difference between investors, business people, the selp-employed, and employees (his Cashflow Quadrant).
… it’s hard to believe that I needed help to understand these basic concepts, but I may not be sitting where I am today if I hadn’t read that book. Who knows …?
If think and grow rich was so good then why bother to re-write it? What’s that saying the french use? Oh yes, “it drills my ass” (pointless, there’s already a hole).
