Billionaire in Training

This book obviously caught my attention because of the title. The author of the book has many great strategies for individuals in business; strategies that will help aspiring entrepreneurs climb to the top financially. It was also interesting to learn that there are five levels of entrepreneurs I always thought entrepreneur defined anyone owning their own business. Brad waste no time distinguishing between all 5 levels and the impact each level has on the way you think about business and finances is astronomical. I am a new start up company and I am glad I read this book before opening the doors to my new business. I will have an advantage over many who have not read this book and those who are unaware of these concepts.

I have watched a Brad Sugars seminar on Dvd and read most of his books and I must say the guy will tell you exactly what you need to do to create a successful business. Billionaire in Training is his core book which will teach you the mindset you need to have in today's economy in order to stay ahead of the game. Brad is very nitty gritty and tells personal stories about his numerous different types of retail stores he owns and how he has made them successful.

Rich Dad was my favorite book in this genre out of the hundreds I've read, until I read Billionaire in Training. Brad Sugars, who was trained and mentored by Kiyosaki, expands on the principles of Rich Dad and offers examples of how to take those principles and make them produce millions. He believes as Kiyosaki does that money should work FOR you, NOT take hard work by you. For example, Sugars believes that one great way to make money is to buy slightly profitable companies and institute business systems to run the business for you increasing profit, and anyone who has worked for a rapidly growing company knows how easy it is to grow with the right system. Then, as your company grows without your involvement, you can spend your time looking for another business to buy. The process is detailed out for you and through my experience, it works. Of course, there will be people who complain about this book like they complain about Rich Dad (whah whah whah, it doesn't work Sugars, it's not easy, etc) but those people are always going to be naysaying. That's why those people can't seem to grow their businesses.

A fantastic book on wealth creation - I didn't realise how simple it could be until I read it. Billionaire in Training presents entrepreneurialism as a game that can be won by following a proven set of business rules. Drawing on the tools and experiences that helped him to become both a multimillionaire and the International Chairman of one of the fastest-growing businesses around the globe, Sugars explains the secrets of wealth creation and business success in an easy-to-understand, intuitive manner. Sugars outlines how becoming an efficient "generalist"-someone who is able to effectively manage and draw on the expertise of others-can put entrepreneurs on the path to financial security and professional success. He explains the "fundamental truths" about becoming wealthy and why, for most people, obtaining financial security can be a long and arduous path. Finally, Sugars reveals how everyday entrepreneurs can quit this traditional path and focus on obtaining success now as opposed to later. As a result of reading this book, I have a new way of thinking and planning to build my future wealth by climbing the 5 levels of Entrepreneurs.

This book hit all the right buttons for me. Since reading the book have experienced a massive mindshift in wealth creation in that I now think like an entrepreneur and a rich person. A great read for anyone who is serious about becoming seriously rich!
