I have to say that after starting and owning two multi-million dollar businesses that Bradley Sugars knows what he's talking about. His books are the closest you'll get to actually getting the information you need to get started.

However, two things disappointed me about this book:

1) He states that you can't start a business with no money. This isn't true. I've done it TWICE. I started my first publishing company with a few hundred dollars. Within two years it became a $2 million per year empire. My second company was started with a few thousand dollars. Within 4 years it became a $5.4 million dollar empire. In my first fiscal year I grossed $566,000. You don't need money to make money. You just need to know what you're doing.

2) The whole premise of this book is to buy, build, and sell a business. You can't buy a business with no money. Even if you can swing a no money down deal on a business, you need money to build it. Even he admits that you need about $200,000 in your bank account before you consider building a business. So, how do you get the $200,000? You don't get it by working for someone. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to get a business loan from a bank. Venture capitalists will finance people with a history of business success, not a business newbie. Sugars doesn't fill in this gap. He complains that other books don't cover each step to success (business, investing, then true entrepreneurship)...but he left out a critical point: How do you get from NO MONEY to HAVING MONEY FOR A BUSINESS to even start?

This is a good book. It covers some critical information about business that I haven't seen in other books. However, it's missing a huge element (discussed above) that will be an issue for most people reading this book who don't have an extra few hundred grand lying around to start or put into a business.

Billionaire in Training puts you on the fast track to wealth creation through buying, building, and selling businesses - and doing it at a faster pace than you ever thought possible.

This book is like a playbook. It is saves you from making a lot of common mistakes and will get you into the game at a much faster pace and at a much higher level.

Author Bradley J Sugars reveals all his wealth building secrets and teaches you how to buy, grow and sell a business like a pro.

He teaches it to you in a way that allows you to both understand why you're currently getting the financial results you're getting right now, and to take the leaps and bounds necessary to make your wildest financial dream become a reality.

Anyone who wants to succeed in the world of entreprenerial business should read this book!

Rich Dad was my favorite book in this genre out of the hundreds I've read, until I read Billionaire in Training. Brad Sugars, who was trained and mentored by Kiyosaki, expands on the principles of Rich Dad and offers examples of how to take those principles and make them produce millions. He believes as Kiyosaki does that money should work FOR you, NOT take hard work by you. For example, Sugars believes that one great way to make money is to buy slightly profitable companies and institute business systems to run the business for you increasing profit, and anyone who has worked for a rapidly growing company knows how easy it is to grow with the right system. Then, as your company grows without your involvement, you can spend your time looking for another business to buy. The process is detailed out for you and through my experience, it works.

Of course, there will be people who complain about this book like they complain about Rich Dad (whah whah whah, it doesn't work Sugars, it's not easy, etc) but those people are always going to be naysaying. That's why those people can't seem to grow their businesses.
