The first few chapters of this book had my mind working overtime and I was feeling inspired. That was great. Then I started reading the section of the book (i.e. almost the entire book!) where they tell stories of how people made their millions. The farther along in the book I went the more annoyed I became because almost every story related to direct marketing and copywriting. What about the rest of us! Then I read in the table of contents that there is a chapter on how an accountant made millions. Finally! I am CPA. So with eagerness I read the chapter, only to throw it down in disgust one page later when the accountant began telling how he made his millions in copywriting. Thanks a lot. I don't want to be a copywriter or be in direct marketing. That is the reason for the 3 stars. The book did have useful information on how you won't become rich by being an employee, but this isn't news to me. So I guess the only real benefit I received from the book is a little motivation and I set the intention to be worth 4 million in 7 years. I really didn't need the book for that...

I was mildly disappointed in this book, which consists largely of seven or eight case studies presented by Masterson of people who have become wealthy. He has advice seems to be a rehash of the earlier books: save prodigiously, turn your expertise into a moonlighting job, become a copywriter, invest in real estate, et cetera. None of this is revelatory. Of course, the challenge perhaps is not in knowing how to get to seven figures in seven years but having the discipline and fortitude to apply yourself to that task. The advice is not bad; to the contrary, it is useful but seems to be a repackaging of old ideas.

This book fits well with a number of other prosperity texts such as THINK AND GROW RICH, or RICH DAD POOR DAD, or even works by Robert Allen. The difference is that this work is much more progressive in its ATTITUDE and TONE than any of those other books, and this New Age context is what makes this work so relevant. If you know that you need to shift your life into a higher gear and still feel like some motivator is missing for you, (especially if you have read some of the other programs in the prosperity field,) this is a good book to get you going NOW.
