The Top 10 Distinctions Between Millionaires and the Middle Class

WHY IS THIS BOOK GOING OUT OF PRINT? IT DESERVES THE STATUS OF "Classic", and should NEVER go out of print! I hope to use its principles to get copies for all my friends and relatives, in the next 5 years or so! IF THIS BOOK DOESN'T MAKE ONE A MILLIONAIRE, IT WILL D E F I N I T E L Y....LET YOU KNOW HOW MILLIONAIRES THINK!!!! PLEASE KEEP THIS 5 STAR....NO, 100 STAR! BOOK IN PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ........................................................... THIS BOOK, "The 10 Top Distinctions Between The Rich And The Middle Class", CAN BE READ IN NEAT LITTLE SECTIONS! This is especially impoertant for those who, like me, grew up with TV -- and, despite TVs many wonders, have, (due to 10 minute segments between commercials), had our attention spans totally, (or almost), decimated -- making reading of most books difficult at best. (Is this how "Farenheit 451" becomes reality?_ Luckily, a wonderful book like this one, is, as I have said, divided into neat, easy-to-read sections. One need not read it all the way through! It's a small book -- but full of wisdom and VERY good advice. AMAZON.COM, and the publishers, (and probably the writer), have also graciously allowed would-be buyers a "peek" inside this book! My advice: read the "peek", then buy the book. The "peek" consists of a listing of the "10 Top Distinctions", the book itself is an enlarged, elucidation of these 10. The language is simple, yet full of wisdom. For instance: 7: Millionaires Take Calculated Risks. The Middle Class Is Afraid To Take Risks: The Middle Class is trapped in the rat-race because it doesn't take risks. The only way out of the rat-race is to take risks. The only way out of the rat-race is to take risks. No, that is not a typo. I intentionally wrote it twice. In fact, let me write it once more. The only way out of the rat race is to take risks. If You take risk out of life, you take opportunity out of life. Taking a risk doesn't mean taking a shot in the dark. Millionaires take CALCULATED risks. What does "calculated" mean? It means to gain knowledge first, and to consider the consequences of failing before taking the action...... .................Millionaires practice risk management. One of the simplest ways to manage risk I learned from my mentor, Nido Qubein. He taught me to ask three questions... 1) What's the best thing that could happen? 2) What's the worst thing that can happen? 3) What's the most likely thing to happen? Simple, straightforward, EASILY-UNDERSTOOD advice. It runs all through the 112 pages of this small, easily-understood, just-about indespensible book. The print is of a nice, large size too...with a nice bit of spacing between the lines, to make it easily-read -- delightfully complimenting the easily-understood writing style. Another snippet of information I got from reading a random paragraph in this book, (can't find it just now), which mentioned that millionaires talk mainly to other millionaires, and not to "ordinary" people. THIS IS N O T DUE TO ANY SNOBBISHNESS ON THEIR PARTS, BUT SIMPLY AS A SELF-PRESERVATION DEVICE. M O S T people talk about other people, or about things. Millionaires talk about I D E A S. Probably, a millionaire will gladly speak to a "millionaire-in-the-making"....a person who, though not (yet) rich, ALSO speaks mainly of ideas, (and not people or things) -- but most millionaires do NOT want to spend time speaking to people who's main conversation topics are what is going on in the lives of Hollywood celebrities, or latest designs in sports cars. Why? Because millionaires want to LEARN things -- that's why they talk mainly about IDEAS. The thought came to me to equate this to the following: If you are a person, say, who wants to write a book on Sir Laurence Olivier, you probably would NOT spend your time speaking to "Tony Manero", (the character played by John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever") -- as Mr. Manero knew of Laurence Olivier ONLY as a guy on TV who advertised Polaroid Cameras! In a millionaire's eyes, everyone may be equal, and have equal access to the Public Library...but speaking to anyone who's PRESENT msin interest is what went on on a popular TV show, last night, or Jessica Simpson's, (or any other celebrity's), new hair-style or career move, will not, in the millionaire's mind, expand HIS (the millionaire's), horizons one bit! And learning and expanding horizons are one of the, (intertwining!), distinctions, (this one being Number 6), betweeen Millionaires and the Middle class. THIS IS NOT A SNOB BOOK. THIS IS A BOOK ANYONE, LIVING IN A FREE SOCIETY, CAN LEARN FROM....AND BECOME RICH FROM! Sadly, though, the publishers of this truly essential, classic book, have seen fit to publish it on inferiour, semi-newsprint paper (!) This is all the more astonishing, since the book not only, (as I have said), has very well spaced, and larger-size print -- but also has a binding of the second-highest quality! (No -- not sewn with sections, but it does have a general sewn-binding for all the pages together.) Perhaps this poor-quality paper the author's and publisher's gentle way of saying, "time's going fast...read and use this book before the paper crumbles!" -- but a book of this, (just about classic!) quality deserves good quality paper, nonetheless! money....money....money....money....money...money When I was going to public school, I begged and begged my parents to send me to private school, (which, of course, they couldn't afford.) Although our public school district, (No. 26 in Queens, NY), was counted amongst the best, I still KNEW, somewhere in my heart, that private schools were somehow, someway, different and better. I never knew WHY I thought this...but I just KNEW it. Now, finally, I think I know why I thought this. Rightly or wrongly, I believed that in public schoolthey taught the three Rs, history, music, art -- and how to be a "good little member of the general public." But in Private Schools -- or so I rightly or wrongly thought -- THEY TAUGHT HOW TO MAKE (LOTS OF!) MONEY IN A LEGAL, MORAL WAY.....JUST WHAT IS INSIDE THIS BOOK! Whether all, (or even most) private schools teach these lessons, I do not know. But, thankfully, (very thankfully!), they are available now, for anyone to read and study, in the pages of this wonderful small book! Whether a reader becomes a millionaire or not from it, is basically up to the individual -- but trying to apply as many of these 10 distinctions to one's own life, cannot but help! At any rate, it is a FIRST-RATE ALTERNATIVE TO ALL THE NEGATIVITY THAT SEEMS TO BE PERVADING LIFE TODAY! Read this little treasure -- and apply as much of it as you can to your own life! Even if you don't become a millionaire, you will know how people become millionaires! Pass it on to your children, and give it as birthday presents to those you love to be with. The rich are really NOT that much different than you or I -- all they do is THINK a little differently!

Best book I have read. It is a deep well written book and makes you think of life differently. I read this book monthly to remind me to stay focused.

I highly suggest you read this book if confidence and guidance is needed to start network marketing or their own business.

When I highlight half an entire book on my iPad (Kindle app), I know it's a killer book. This is one such book. I've been searching around for money/rich books for a while since reading "The Millionaire Fastlane" and wanting more, and this is the best one I've found recently. By far. Some other millionaire-type books are loaded with stories, parables, real-life encounters, whatever. Not this book. This book says, "Here's how rich people think. Here's what they do differently. Do this, and you'll get what they have." It just lays it all out there, condensed, punchy, insightful, powerful, not cloaked in distracting stories or exposition. The 10 distinctions are fantastic. I found myself nodding my head in agreement over and over, and I frequently had that "Aha!" feeling while reading this that I was picking up major insights, that the pieces were being put together for me in a way I hadn't seen before that clarified some major concept about the wealth/abundance mindset. Top tips for me from this book? Get a mentor, and spend, spend, spend on my success education. Buy books, buy audiobooks, go to seminars -- it's an extremely valuable education, much more valuable than college (and a much better investment). The author makes a fantastic point about how well-written books are a stunningly incredible value, because you can get the condensed wisdom of lifetimes of experience for just $10. That's what you'll get with this book.

Recently finished this book and agree with most of what the author describes as fundamental differences. A lot of what he talks about can be found in other books, most notably "How Rich People Think" by Steve Siebold. But the layout of this book and it's explanations are first rate. The author's approach revolves around ten distinctions between those who are wealthy and the middle class. His "Top Ten" list starts with the wealthy thinking long term and the middle class seeking short term benefits. Other distinctions include taking risks, embracing change, continual learning and how millionaires think in terms of profits while the middle class sees making money as solely a paycheck to paycheck exercise. One of the most powerful distinctions comes at the end of the book; asking empowering questions vs. disempowering questions. I have found this to be a very valuable tool in shifting my thinking whenever life throws me a curve ball. It really works. The author urges people to read the book over and over so that his distinctions really sink in and I agree with him. If you read it once, you're more than likely to forget half of what you read and not put his recommendations into action. As with anything in life, practice makes perfect so if you decide to buy it, read it several times and think about situations or events in your life where you were not adopting a wealth mindset. Then apply the author's distinction to one of those events and situations and see what happens. It may take a few tries but if you are serious about wealth creation, you'll put these distinctions to good use and start seeing results.

Good purchase. Ideas put across very Simply.

Although yoy can tell it was written by a man, its still a great read. I passed it on to all my family members to read. I recommend

The content is great, I really love this knowledge

I knew a lot of topic about this book and this was kind of refreshing for me. It is easy to read and I recommend this for fresh starter. It is good book for reread it time to time.

This little book ranks up there as one of my favorite books. It helps me to understand how my thinking can change to attract more wealth into my life. Keith has distilled the information down to exactly what needs to be said. Highly recommended.
