The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth

The One Minute Millionaire by Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen takes a different twist on the "how to" genre. The book combines the fiction skills of, Chicken Soup for the Soul author, Hansen and Robert Allen's real estate and wealth building expertise.

The One Minute Millionaire makes use of a unique format in which the reader follows a hypothetical tale interlaced with real business strategies. The big question is, can this book really help you become wealthy or is it a marketing ploy by a great writer and a real estate guru.

I read the book and I feel that the problem in One Minute Millionaire is the enlightened way to wealth part. What I mean is that the book approaches wealth building from a self help perspective. One Minute Millionaire is full of preachy pep talks and feel good moments but lacks applicable business strategies.

Further, many customers have accused Robert Allen of simply filling One Minute Millionaire with his old recycled material. They have said that the fluff material in the book is a way for Allen to up sell customers to his more expensive tele-course.

The general consensus is that you won't change your life after reading about a fictitious woman on a quest to make a million dollars in 3 months. The scenario it self is absurd as are the results that One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth claims are possible.

The fact is that Robert Allen and his companies have been in business for roughly 20 years. Several bankruptcies, lawsuits, IRS infringements, and hundreds of thousands customers later, Robert Allen can take credit for producing a mere handful of success stories.

The real estate market can bring you wealth but no serious investor will trace back the start of their real estate career to a book like One Minute Millionaire. The truth is that gurus like Robert Allen oversimplify the market and present examples using the most optimal situations.

They base their theories on the belief that the real estate market is always rising thus all you have to do is buy and sell to get rich. Even worse they teach strategies like withholding information and misleading lending institutions; practices that can lead to fines, bankruptcy, and even to jail time.

I don't waste my time with fake real estate gurus anymore because I found something that's really made a change in my financial life. If you're interested in how I do it then Check it out here.

Best of Luck,

I concur with your conclusions on this book and found the material absolute trite. The thing is that not only did I wast my money I also wasted my time. It was by the way more then a minute thought that is all this book really deserves. Next!
