Money: Know More, Make More, Give More
Do you want to get to the stage - soon - where you are truly financially independent, able to use your money in the way you'd like, and be completely confident in your ability to take care of yourself and your family?
That is a universal desire, but many of us regard wealth and financial independence as a goal which we'll likely never achieve - there are just too many bills that need paying and there is a widespread belief that the money game is rigged. Even people who win the lottery or inherit money often seem to wind up losing it. The evidence suggests you can't win a game that you don't understand - even if you start out winning - because you never understood the game in the first place.
So how can you win with money? How can you create independent wealth and hold on to it? This inspiring book by self-made multi-millionaire Rob Moore explains the rules of the game, shares simple tricks for managing money better, details how to create a plan for an ambitious future, and shows you the very best way to become a millionaire - to think and behave like one!

This book is an embarrassment - a thinly-disguised cash grab designed to charge the highest possible price while investing the least amount of time in researching trends or data that could prove insightful to the reader. I only forced myself through its 380-odd pages because to give up would have been to admit to myself that I'd wasted £13 when I picked up Money: Know More, Make More, Give More .
I've previously referred to the Holy Trinity of mediocre financial self-help books in my reviews. This book has all three of the Trinity's constituent parts in abundant supply.
1. The forced casual style. Money is, I think, written in a style that tries to emulate a casual conversation with a mate at the pub. I say try, because Moore mostly fails at building any kind of rapport with the reader. The book's first and last chapters extensively cover the author's fascination with Ferraris: from the fateful moment which made him change his life around - when he saw a guy getting out of his Ferrari and, being surprised by the hatred he felt towards this stranger simply because of his perceived wealth, decides to turn his life around - to the book's epilogue, where Moore talks about his own Ferrari (which he crashed within days of buying, but that doesn't make it into the book) and uses that anecdote as a launchpad into a philosophical discussion on how Ferrari owners in fact come from all walks of life, and judging them for owning a Ferrari is wrong (I wish I was making this up...). Added to this are Moore's quips, which go from groan-inducing to really quite sexist and chauvinistic. While some authors of mediocre financial self-help books at least manage to come across as sympathetic, you'll find little to like about Moore unless the version of wealth you are trying to attain is the one plastered all over Dan Bilzerian's Instagram.
2. The structure in this book is appalling. Of its three parts, two are little more than fodder, and the third falls woefully short of offering any advice of value at all. Moore starts with a rambling description of money and its importance in history and modern society. Expect long-winded pseudo-intellectual passages about how money is not evil but a force for good (fair enough), interspersed with Moore's anecdotes about how he used to be a useless bum and then turned himself around when he stopped viewing the pursuit of money as evil (less useful, especially after the 5th time). And as usual with this kind of book, expect the formatting to regularly break up the flow of the book, for example with the grey text boxes which, as far as I could see, had no actual value as their contents could just as easily have been included in the main body of the chapter. It's annoying to read and actually makes navigating the book harder.
3. Perhaps most importantly, the financial advice included in this book is not worth the paper it is printed on. I painfully read through the first two parts of the book hoping that the final part, with chapter titles such as "Money-making strategy" and "the importance of compounding," would at least include a few snippets of useful information. Yet even here, I was left disappointed. Take the latter point, for example: almost all financial self-help books, columns, podcasts etc. will rightly tell you that compounding is one of the most powerful tools for acquiring wealth. This book does so too, but there is no evidence to back it up: no underlying data, no tables, no advice on how to make the task of setting a certain amount of money aside every month easier (by making a direct debit that comes out of your account every month immediately after your paycheck comes in, to make budgeting easier, for example). Moore, who first made his money acquiring rental real estate, gives critically little information on how he himself made his money, on the strategies he used, etc. In fact, the passages where Moore talks about himself invariably serve one of two purposes: to talk solemnly about how useless he was before and how he managed to turn his life around; or to brag about how successful he is now.
Do yourself a favour and avoid this book at all costs. Even if you get in in a sale or a giveaway, the time you would spend pushing yourself through its 380 pages would be much better invested elsewhere. In fact, I am willing to make the following claim: if this review manages to dissuade you from purchasing Money: Know More, Make More, Give More , the money and time you will have saved would be more than the value of the "advice" the book contains.

Pretty terrible. I got about 25% through before calling it quits.
Self-contradictions abound. Apparently everyone gets exactly what they deserve in capitalism, but not Mother Theresa, she got money illigitimately and stashed it in offshore accounts.
Basically the author seems to have written this book to make sure everyone knows he drives a Ferrari and hangs around with the rich and famous. Then he, some guy who made some money and now thinks he knows everything, proceeds to give you a lecture on why capitalism is good, taxes are bad, and the rich should get richer, and the poor deserve what's coming to them. Don't waste your time, or money, on this book, 1 star.

I loved this book because Rob Moore (the author) was authentic, shared his personal story and helped me understand a lot of things about money.
If you are interested in learning more about on the subject, I recommend it.

Ik wou dat het laatste boek van mijn jaarlijkse boekenchallenge wat beter, grootser en bombastischer was. Het is dit geworden. Misschien wel het enige 400 pagina boek dat kon samengevat worden in 40 pagina's.

I enjoyed the book a lot but it's essentially a regurgitation of what's already out there, although there is a place for that.
it's certainly helped me solidify my ideas and feelings of where I'm at in life.
this book will not be useful to you unless you are an entrepreneur who's actively trying to dramatically increase your income. it's not for savers and thrifters who have no interest in self employment or high risk investments.

The fuck I just read? Took so long with no real information. Thought there are good points. Then, near the end he tells the "solution" - rise prices. Dropped this shit after 95% (!!!!). If not this nonsense, rating would have been 3. If personal story another +1 for total of 4. Now this is real shit. I'm angry at myself I had wasted so much time on business as usual "self-help" B.S.
What's good with this book, on the other hand, is that it started with some personal story, this helps on changing the mind from in-out to out-in.

To start mastering money, embrace the VVKIK formula
Some people have a grand vision but no grasp of details. Others sweat the small stuff but have no overall sense of where they are going.
Well, if you want to master money, you need both. And the good news is, there’s a simple system that will help you to do so. VVKIK stands for Vision, Values, Key result areas, Income-generating tasks, and Key performance indicators.
Your vision and values will help guide you toward what you want to achieve in life and how you want to achieve it. It may help to write both down, listing your ultimate goals, and the values that matter to you, from success to family, growth to freedom. A quick tip for attracting more money is to simply shift money-based values up your list and ensure your life vision is financially focused.
Next up, determine your KRAs or key result areas. These are the high-value areas on which you should focus to achieve your vision. Pick between three and seven areas where an investment of time will make the most difference to achieving your vision. These should be areas like building relationships, marketing, or finessing business planning. Check your to-do list or other demands on your time against your KRAs for clarity. If someone asks you to do something that isn’t aligned with your KRAs, don’t do it! This way, the KRAs help you stay focused on high-value activities.
Now take a look at your IGTs or income-generating tasks. These are tasks that are aligned with your KRAs and generate the best possible monetary value from your time. And remember, not all tasks are equal. In professional golf, just one club – the putter – accounts for 40 percent of shots taken. This means that practicing putting will have the biggest impact on your score. Likewise, in business, focusing on certain key tasks that bring in money will have a disproportionate impact on your wealth.
Finally, develop key performance indicators or KPIs that show what’s going right or wrong with your business or wealth. Get your KPIs right, and you’ve got real-time feedback on whether your KRAs and IGTs are generating the right outcomes.
Put this system in place and your financial life will get a lot easier. You won’t be focused on just one grand vision or on basic tasks but on the cyclical whole, which allows you to make more money while doing less.

Awful babble by a boyish 'I-am-rich-therefore-know-better' type. The author seems to have an obscene blind faith in the capitalist system, viewing it as a zero sum game played by -you guessed it- only winners and losers; you are stupid and therefore poor; I am filthy rich and therefore must be smart and in the right.

Moore does a great job sharing the underlying truths about planning for a life of financial abundance. How money can work for you and not the other way round.

Lots of good info to learn from
January 26, 2020
It's an okay book, not exceptional though. It does give some good tips, and it made me more interested and motivated regardind the personal finance topics. Altough obviously it doesn't really provide any practical tip, there is no silver bullet in here. It does provide some good tips regarding how to manage the money you already have and try to get the best outcome out of those.
Some insights following:
Misconceptions: Money does not represent work and time, it represents service and value. The higher the service and the value of your actions, the more money you'll get.
When money stand still, it's not money anymore, and it's yourself that have to start the flow in order to make more money from money, either investing in the market, investing in yourself, or setting up a new business.
Key points in order to leverage the system:
- Embrace technology
- Study future trends
- Solve meaningful problems
- Become an expert and highly specialised
- Sorround yourself with smart people
"Little causes attract little wealth, great causes attract great wealth, immortal causes attract vast wealth". Create a vision for yourself that can embrace the largest possible causes.
Wealth = (Value + Fair Exchange) * Leverage
What I've personally appreciated is to start valuing what can bring money in diregarding its cost. If the cost is lower than the potential value that it can offer, than you should go for it. Try to dissociate your cognitive bias from the math that stands behind it, use data to make your call.
It's only in this way that you can bring in more money as otherwise they would just stand still in your bank account. Once you have setup enough savings that can cover yourself for a while even if your income stram gets interrupted, than you should invest your money to create more money. But be careful that you always need enough liquidity in order to make good investments, it's a fine balance.

This book has helped me clear some of my own negative thoughts and misconceptions about money and the rich- something which has been troubling me since childhood (growing up in a lower middle class family in India). Rob has helped by clearly articulating the positives about money and wealth in real sense. He encourages people to make more and give more (legally and ethically), and offers useful tips from his own experience. I can't wait to read his other book: "Life Leverage".
October 19, 2017
It's a good book whether you do OR do not have money, and it's one of those rare books that gives a lot of practical steps that the reader can follow easily.
I think Rob Moore has done a pretty good job on this book, and I'm buying his other books on that basis.
PS: Nope, review not written by Rob Moore or even a friend of Rob Moore. Never heard of him until I picked up this book !

Feels like it’s aimed at someone who is starting from a point of zero financial education

Не бях чувала за Роб Мур и четейки ревютата на тази книга, човек би го помислил за задник. :Р Признавам, че като започнах да чета осъзнах защо някои хора приемат твърде лично написаното и се обиждат толкова много. Определено не е нежен и внимателен като пише и говори за пари. Размазах се от удоволствие. Освежаващо е някой да си каже, че парите имат значение и не е срамно да смяташ така.
Книгата е доста провокативна на места. Някои неща не бяха нови за мен, но бяха представени по нов начин, който добави нова светлина към знанията ми. Други бяха откровено провокиращи и ме караха да се чувствам неудобно и всичките ми защити да крещят, че не ща и да чувам за това, но въпреки вътрешното ми неудобство, си позволих поне за миг да помисля за възможността и това, което е написано като опция. Защото целта на такива книги е не да се съгласиш с мнението на автора, а да четеш с отворено съзнание и да прецениш кое ще работи за теб. :)
Та, имаше наистина доста неща, които ги почувствах неудобно, което значи, че са чудесна насока, в която да работя бавно и славно.
Книгата е насочена главно към промяна на възприемането, нагласите и мисленето за парите. Накрая, да вметна, че най-после някой да ми даде малко по-логично и научно обяснение защо постоянно те карат да правиш визуализации и affirmations. Беше време. Обичам като ми се обясняват нещата от неврологична гледна точка, тогава имат къде-къде повече смисъл. :Р

Quite an inspiring book. Surprisingly philosophical and physiological.
Rob starts off correcting the prejudices about money, and redescribed the relationship with money in a positive manner which I totally agree with. Money is a tool, it is us the owner of it decide how much we want to own it and what to do with it. Being rich or poor is a choice made by ourselves not a predetermination made by parents or anybody else.
He then continues to talk about his journey to get to opulence, ideas to accumulate wealth and money management. Some useful tips I will have to come back and absorb it with more details. Just like he said, sometimes I may not completely agree with an idea upon first hearing it, but I keep an open mind and try it anyway, welcome the possible benefits it may bring to me at a later stage.
The last chapter gave me a pleasant surprise. I am going through a temporary confidence surge. Then his quote shined upon my darkness: the world will become what you believe. It's a great fit in the book as it's a reminder and also a final boost of the positive messages he is sending through the whole book. It also severed me at the perfect moment.

Daugiau nei 16 valandų klausymo (klausiau audio). Jei atvirai, knyga galėjo būti keturis kartus trumpesnė. Palikčiau pradžią ir pabaigą, o vidurį išmesčiau. Pradžia - kas yra pinigai, koks turėtų būti mindset, mąstysena ir požiūris į pinigus. Viskas kaip iš vadovėlio, neginčytina. Kiekvienas, norintis susitvarkyti savo finansus, turėtų pradėti nuo to - teisingos mąstysenos, stereotipų laužymo ir neigiamų įsitikinimų apie pinigus pakeitimo. Viskas prasideda galvoje. Šiuo atžvilgiu, knyga pasirodė - okey.
Vidurys - eiliniai blevyzgojimai apie sėkmingus mega verslus - Amazon, Facebook, Apple ir kt., asmeninė autoriaus patirtis. Vėliau pereinama prie verslo ypatumų. Nieko naujo neišgirdau. Šimtą kartų girdėtos istorijos, naudingos informacijos nulis.
Pabaiga - pinigų planavimo, strategijos aptarimas. Ką su pinigais daryti, kaip elgtis? Autoriaus, strategiškai gudriai, palikta pabaigai. Po visų sapaliojimų ir pilstymo iš tuščio į kiaurą, pereinama prie kažko labiau apčiuopiamo. Kažkam galbūt naudinga (naujokams), bet ne man.
Perklausiau, pasikartojau apie money mindset (prisiminti ir nuolat kartoti, nekenkia). Ačiū. Next.
Knyga tiks asmeninių finansų pradinukams, taip pat galvojantiems ar neseniai sukūrusiems savo versliukus.

Knyga tiks asmeninių finansų pradinukams, taip pat galvojantiems ar neseniai sukūrusiems savo versliukus.

I read a bunch of books about how to be the next Jobs or Bezos, the problem is that the rest of the world lives in different countries and circumstances. Money works the same and has the same rules in any part of this planet, we all have the same amount of time the difference is what we do with it, definitely this is the best book about how we relate with money. I started reading and I can’t stop I recommend to have a notebook beside you, and write all the ideas that come to you this will really blow your mind. I live in Mexico a country with a bunch of problems and a lot of opportunities, this gives me the light to find those opportunities in a rough sea.

Another excellent book from Rob Moore.
I've learned so much from this book about myself and mindset around money and some excellent practical strategies. Some of which I began to implement during reading the book! I've set up 7 pots for my money including one with 5% for giving back.
It's given me the confidence to own the fact that I'm well on my to becoming a very wealthy lady and having an exciting philanthropic portfolio to match (maybe even a foundation)

Knygoje esančios informacijos teisingumu neabejoju, bet mano nuomone knyga parašyta prastai. Skaityti neįdomu. Būčiau gal ir dvi žvaigždutes davus, bet įsikvėpiau daugiau skaityti apie pinigus :)

Pretty average, occasionally inspiring and insightful.
I would agree with a lot of the other reviews of this book, it doesn't really tread new ground and is just a very bloated quick start guide to free-enterprise and capitalism.
I noticed that the author liked to repeat statements over and over again like a mantra, this was jarring to read as the points he was trying to reiterate were not profound or arguably worthy of such emphasis. I'd say that at least thirty percent of this book could be removed and that the content could be made more concise. Moore described the USP of this book as his 'no nonsense speaking style', however this just made him sound like any other financial 'Guru' who lacks self-awareness and the humility to recognise that he part of a very lucky minority, he even references that a lot of his peers went out of business due to the recession and at one point talks about the failure rate of new businesses - which partly supports the idea that he just did the right thing at the right time with the right people.
I would probably not recommend this book, as there are many other books that I feel do a much better job at educating about personal finance and other books on building multiple revenue streams. This book is trying to be at least three books in one and doing a pretty mediocre job at it. Two stars - it's Ok.

One thing the writer and I agree is that time is money. And time spent reading something you consider useless is time wasted.
I stopped reading after a few introductions chapters as I felt the writer was going through circles. Generic statements are abundant. For example, “Life gives to a giver and takes from a taker, so if growth is growth life will give you more, and if growth is greed life will take away and teach you the necessary lesson.”
Others are disputable but generally harps on the poor being poor simply for themselves. I don’t agree with most of the statements and the writer simply doesn’t present arguments or studies, just rhetorics.
The good: the book inspires people that they can get out of poverty, or get their financial conditions in shape.

Some nice generalised advice if you've never read any finance books. Otherwise it's just a generalised self-help book wrapped up in a narrative about money. I didn't make it to the end as I felt it wasn't teaching me anything.
If you need a mood pick me up about your financial life and possibilities, then maybe read this book. However you could watch a 2 minute Youtube video and come away feeling the same.
I expected more for the amount of advertising and praise I've seen about the book.

Very impressive insight into the world of finance. Very interesting concepts. I love the references to Think and Grow Rich! Definitely worth reading and re-reading sometime in the future.

Read the entire book and found it quite informative. Picked up a few practical ideas which I plan ti incorporate into our family financial plan. Will definitely recommend the book to a few of my friends.

factually correct and insightful, but at what cost? rather dull and boring to read. only good part of the book was that i was in agreement with the author about how modern civilisation feel victimised rather than acting on having no money.

Couldn't finish it. Full of meaningless statements. Always seems to be on the verge of telling you the secrets to riches but delivers very little advice of practical use

On the contrary to some negative comments I read about 'Money', I really enjoyed the book and found it very useful in taking my first steps towards managing my finances better. The text isn't too dense, it is not filled with loads of professional terms (although it does explain the most important ones), nor does it use graphs or tables, which I believe some people were missing in the book. I, for instance, enjoyed the fact that the book was written in such a casual form, as if I had a coffee with my friend who explained the basics to me in a simple, approachable way. Thanks to that I got many ideas I wanted to learn more about, but I also didn't struggle to go through endless statistics, tables, graphs, which I'm sure would bore me, or even prevent me from finishing the book. I'm glad this was the very first finance-related book I had read, because of these reasons. Had I tried to start with Graham's 'Intelligent Investor', I would have possibly never finished the first chapter. Since my money management skills were laughable, my finance knowledge was 0, this book was a great option to spark some interest, without making me feel like improving my finances was just unattainable. What I also enjoyed about the book, is the mindful, or even spiritual, part of it. Rob talks about money as energy that can be used for either good or bad. He also explains how your attitude towards money is important in financial growth and gives many tips on how to educate yourself, where to find information and how to prepare for future investments. The only thing that I didn't entirely enjoy was the fact that the second part of the book seemed to be adressed to people who own, or look into owning, a business. That part didn't give me too many tips, since I was reading it for personal finance to start with. I thought it would be better if the book was split into two instead (one devoted to personal finance, and one to starting/managing a business). But maybe this was the point, I don't know. Nevertheless, thanks to Rob, I will definitely spend less money on unnecessary stuff, I'll be more mindful in handling my finances, and I will look to starting to take some baby steps in investing. Definitely a worthwile read for people who are only starting, and who still don't speak the economy language!
