The power to create great wealth is already within you. But monetizing that raw energy doesn’t happen by itself. As Christopher Howard shows, building great wealth is a dual process. It begins by identifying your passion—the things you truly and deeply care about, whatever they may be. Next, passion needs to be endowed with a clearly defined vision of the future you intend to create.
Once this happens, money is simply the natural reward. When you bring the value of passion and purpose to the marketplace, financial prosperity is the instant result. It’s like awakening to a new reality—not just for yourself, but for everyone who shares in your success. And make no sharing is a key element in the success of Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, and the other billionaire entrepreneurs Chris introduces in these pages. Instant Wealth—Wake up Rich! proves that ultimate success is by no means a matter of selling out principles in order to become rich. On the contrary, it’s becoming rich in order to bring that riches to the world.
As a true entrepreneur himself, Christopher Howard has put these lessons to work in the creation of his own fast-growing international business. What’s worked for him—and for so many other hugely successful entrepreneurs—can work for you too. All it takes is passion, purpose, and waking up to instant wealth.
This is an easy read and I found it to be an encouraging book which did motivate me to some degree.
The main points were Do what you enjoy and are good at Work hard and keep learning Develop a warrior mentality and fight for what you want Chris Howard has been to Richard Branson's private island. (There really was no need to repeat this last point so often as I got it the first time :-)
If you like motivation books then this is a good example. I enjoyed it and read it right to the end. It didn't have a lot of hard information but it did have a wealth of interesting illustrations.
Chris if you are reading this, you are getting very close to coming across as a name dropper here. Be careful with this as it could undermine what you are saying.
I think this is a very focused and motivational book. It is inspirational and has some very good exersises as well as is easy to read. The cons of the book are some repetitions as well as the self hypnosis technique for which i believe is not so easy to be achieved through the book. Overall is a fantastic book and i would recommend it to every new entepreuner.
