Material way too old, nothing new, worthless, this was sucha bad money investment for me.
"Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die." That lyric from one of Albert King's greatest hits, epitomizes the Great American Dream; everyone wants to make a million dollars, but nobody wants to work. Today, you'd be hard-pressed to find any successful new entrepreneur rising out of the ranks without some social media assistance. That's why we are inundated with so many "get rich quick" schemes that, of course, rarely work.The good news is, Dan S Kennedy was kind enough to put together this wonderful book, which gives practical advice on how to make millions with your ideas; assuming your ideas have value and you're willing to take the required steps to make things happen. With dozens of real life examples of success (and failure), the reader gets a feel for some of the things that may pay dividends for themselves, or for their companies.In the 13 years since its orginal publication, Kennedy touches on the potential of marketing on the internet, which was just starting to get heated up at the time. It seems everyone's hooked on Twitter or Facebook, and they're engaging like minded people with ideas that are, in many cases, paying huge dividends.Kennedy's advice is sound, and might even make you a millionaire someday. All you need to do is buy the book, read it and heed it.
I bought this book because I'm a big Dan Kennedy fan, and was disappointed. His "no BS" series is much better and worth checking out. This book is outdated now, the examples are all pretty old.
He also talks about distributing diskettes and buying a dial-up modem for emails and nothing more.If this were 1995, and the internet actually died out, this book would be a god send. This book is about fifteen years out of date. The author talks about how he thinks the "information super highway" won't amount to much in the "future". However, it's not.With that said, the author still does a good job at giving nearly 100 case studies, describing all of the different ways the companies became successful, and stresses that in entrepreneurship, there is an even playing field. You don't have to be a college grad to be a millionaire as an entrepreneur.
It basically gives you a run down on already successful business, but not the real meat of what you're looking for. The only reason I bought this book is to know "HOW TO" do something like; Making a presentation to the market, or to a company without worrying about them steeling your ideas, something along those lines. Its a little bit inspiring but not much else. This book is more of a autobiography then anything else. Hey Dan why not go ahead and ask them for there SS card and credit cards numbers too. But it dose have plenty of things on what NOT TO DO.
The book didn't tell you "HOW TO" do anything.
The cover of the book says; HOW TO.
But above all, my main concern is whats on the front cover that says; "Get a free product marketing evaluation." But what Dan didn't tell you is in the last few pages in the book that says; A certificate to send a brief description of YOUR product, photos, literature, etc., with your questions about this product to see if it sells or not.
It really doesn't tell you anything you already know of.
I don't even know how this book got so many good reviews, but I know now not to buy anything less then 4 stars.
make Million$ with your ideas.
But instead Dan gives you a history lesson on things you already know.
And underneath your address you put in it says; NO CONFIDENTIALITY GUARANTEED.
What the title of the book should have said was; How to make ME Million$ with YOUR ideas.
