One Minute Millionaire

Just because I haven't written up a review in awhile doesn't mean I've stopped reading! :) So, I'll be catching you up over the next few days over the great books I've read. Today's delight is The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen.

This book is different from many books I've read so far as it divided into two sections - one for the left (logical) side of the brain and the other for the right side of the brain (creative). All the even pages are for the 'left brain' people - more of a factual approach - and all the odd pages are for the 'right brain' people - telling more of a story. I fell into more the right side; so, that is the side I have chosen from which to give the review.

The right side tells of a story of a mother (Michelle) who isn't that great handling money and gets her two children (Nicky and Hannah) taken away by their grandparents (the Ericksens). The ultimatum that the Ericksens give is that Michelle must come up with 1 million dollars in 90 days in cash or she will never see her children again.

Of course, the number and timeline scare her, but with her perseverance, knowledge, enthusiasm of getting her kids back, and the team that she attracts with that enthusiasm is miraculous. The rich people stereotypes that are broken with this book, as the writers are multi-millionaires themselves, but remember they are people too. They just think different about the world and about money.
