This book is a must read for any small business owners. They explain the need for the right mindset for business success as well as the need for the owner to understand the psychology of their ideal client in order for their marketing to produce a high ROI. Highly, highly recommended!

This was my first positive thinking book and I am totally converted. I have to admit I just read the first 8 chapters because I was specifically looking for the thinking part not the business part. But I bought the book for my husband to read it all to get us rich!

Read this for work. I didn’t find much new here, since it pulls key ideas from a lot of other self-help and business books. If you’ve already read “The Secret” and taken a marketing class, you can probably do without this book.

recommends it for: Business Owners
I used the audio version of this book which made it much easier to breeze through, this book makes me want to do more research on quantum physics and how we actually think ourselves into situations. Certain chapters didn't apply to my business, however overall it's a great book.

This is the best explanation I have seen for quantum physics. Toward the back it gets a bit dry where he talks about building a business using these concepts.

Tidak sebagus The Secret, karena diceritakanya terlalu mendetail dan agak bertele2, menjadikan buku ini sulit untuk dicerna bagi orang awam.

My husband lent me this book. He thought I find the 'visioning' processes very interesting to grow my own business. Lots of great ideas on how to conduct business in an inspirational manner. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because I found the information on how the brain works a bit boring and tedious to read. Perhaps it's because I am not really interested in that topic scientifically.

recommended to Shawna by: My mom gave it to me for my birthday
recommends it for: Business people
This is not a book that I would have chosen for myself, but my mom gave it to me for my birthday, so I read it. It's about how to improve your business, reach more customers, and make more money by having the right mindset. While I can see how this might be valuable to some people, I don't have a business and not all the concepts can be applied to everyday life. So overall, not my type of book.

Has a copy to sell/swap — Read in May, 2008
recommends it for: People interested in The Secret
This book grabbed my attention in a number of ways. It is the first book I've read to dig deep into the ideas behind the Secret from a Quantum Physics level and really explain, beyond the hoopla, in a scientific way, how it all works. I skim read it and now I'm digging through the bits of treasure page by page in more detail.

I wasn't very impressed by this book. It might be good for anyone who currently has a business that they are trying to grow or someone who knows just what type of business they want to start. Lots of self-help suggestions, like meditate, use affirmations, etc....

My friend Debbie called me three times to go get this book right away. As it turns out, I love it. I've done some of the work in the book and seen immediate results. Will do more.

I'm in retirement
and beyond these concerns
but I read it
and thought it very appropriate
for a friend
who was feeling
the need to refocus
