Book Review on "Think Rich Pinoy" by Larry Gamboa, Phd

I believe this book has been an important step for me in considering the future

Daymond John once said, “If you don’t educate yourself, you’ll never get out of the starting block because you’ll spend all your money making foolish decisions”. There is no better way to educate yourself other than reading the story of a man who built something out of nothing. Daymond John’s The Power of Broke is an inspirational book focused on his own and others trek to financial stability. This book speaks about aspiring entrepreneurs with exotic ideas who just simply did not have the capital to begin their own full fledged business.

The first chapter of the book makes it sound simple enough to become an automatic millionaire, but where does one begin? David Bach tell us through story how easily

The marketplace, in our society, is a great place to make big profits, but if you fail, can also leave you broke. We learned about the risk of taking out large loans, which is why our business took out a small loan, instead of taking a larger loan to more widely expand our business. Because our business was providing a service we learned that the services must be either in high demand, or priced higher to earn enough money to be a viable business. We now have a new appreciation for capitalism and the entrepreneurs in our society who help grow the economy, understanding that starting a business takes lots of time and tolerance for

Looking at the syllabus for management 330, entrepreneurship and small business management, see that there was four books that we had to read was a little intimidating. But after ordering the books and receiving them in the mail from Amazon there was a moment of relief. Looking through the books and seeing that two out of four were small and interesting was reassuring that it wasn’t four huge boring text books that we would have to plow through and do assignments from. Reading and talking about the books in class and getting teachers feedback from what he took away and what other students took away was interesting to hear. My three take-aways come from Steal Like an Artist and Should Your Idea Become a Business?

In today’s economy some people know how to make money, while others are having problems with it. There are three classes of wealth. There is the lower class which barely makes enough or doesn’t even make enough money to pay bills. The middle class is the largest group and these people are able to pay bills, but they don’t have very much extra money. The upper class is the group which has a lot of wealth. They do not have to worry about bills and are able to buy expensive things. Many people struggle with money, but there are some ways to easily make money.

T. Harv Eker has written numerous books such as, “Think rich to get rich” and “Secrets of a Millionaire Mind in Turbulence.” I think that Eker wrote this book to help people become rich by using his so called “tactics.” His intentions sound alright, but you’ll find out later what I am talking about. He does have some key points that I find well done by Eker, and I will explain these later in the review. “The Secrets of a Millionaire Mind, Mastering the Inner Game of Work” is nothing like I expected it to be. Some of the stuff in the book is good advice, and some of the stuff is unusual, and something that I did not expect in a personal finance book.

This book is divided into four parts with their individual chapters. In the first part called “Making it,” it contained the aspects of internships, jobs, self-employment and freelancing, and side hustles. The author, Amanda Reaume, introduces the first part of the book questioning ask the readers what will they do next after they realize they spent thousands on a “great education.” She inserts on the different ways of “making it” into the real world.

Throughout the semester in entrepreneurship 3301, I’ve been blessed with not two but three teachers, the third being Gary Keller’s book, The ONE Thing. Gary Keller is not the normal businessman, but also as a teacher. He and his company Keller Williams Realty International became what it is today by him teaching his employees what it takes to be successful in ones life. Mr. Keller did not just want employees who knew how to do their job. No, he wanted employees who were succeeding in every aspect in their lives, personal or otherwise, to do so he taught and he taught them well. His book is accumulation of his teachings. It is the facts he believes an individual needs to become both happy and successful no matter what they do. With his book, he has been able to touch the life of millions and that his why I am proud to say his book was my third teacher in Entrepreneurship 3301.

Excogitating upon the day my Mom gifted me the utmost influential book of my life, I realize that my venture in the turbulent journey of business had begun. Praising every facet of the book from the cover page to the last word, a salient aura projected from the very solidity of this text; one of immense power and responsibility, notably a life-changing one. "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill undoubtedly revolutionized my life, the way I think, and every aspect of my dreams. My inspiration to indulge in this particular book was prompted by my current business mentor, who is a year older than me and an aspiring businessman just like myself. "Think and Grow Rich" taught me the fundamental but intangible basics to business; that a burning desire

“Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson is about an insanely rich and perfect guy that everyone envies for being so perfect. Born Rich by Jamie Johnson talks with various people that were born rich. Kids who had millions of dollars from the start and did nothing to earn it. The overarching message stays consistent across both pieces, the fact that people are who they are whether they’re rich or not, with the main difference between the two being the way they convey that message.

The book that I have chosen to review is “The Monk and the Riddle”. There are several quotes in the book that relate to business entrepreneurship, however the quotes can also be used in everyday life. Mr. Komisa's book is similar to an instruction manual on what to do when life throws you curves, while you are trying to walk a straight path in pursuing yours dream. Although you may stray off the path you must gather yourself and regroup, get back on the path and continue on to reach your goals learning every step of the way.

"This is a really good book, it makes me try to write a book about my experiences and my life. The way that is Peter Biadasz counting his history is fantastic, his focus is the real life and modern markets for young and old people. We need more books like this, more people like Peter.

The so called essence in this book is embarrassingly simple. You must set yourself a precise target, an amount you want to achieve and a deadline for yourself to meet. (Poissant 181) If becoming rich is that easy, why is that people who have read this book are not rich today? Every book writer asserts as if all readers would be successful by following simple steps provided by the self-help books. Despite the numerous number of the self-help books, there is still no prove of great success in attaining such wealth. There is also self-help book which helps other self-help books to become best selling books. It is ironic that the writers who are suppose to help insecure people shape their lives, are in turn insecure about their own written books. In How to Write a Bestselling Self-Help Book, Jean Marie Stine advises that writers should avoid 69 mistakes in order to make best selling self-help books. What is the purpose of publishing those self-help books anyways? It is hard to define the true purpose of the publisher's intention. Rather it seems they are more concerned that their published book makes it to the best seller list than offering a real solution to the consumer's crisis. Another self-help book "Who moved my cheese?" which was rated by the New York Times as a Number One Bestseller by Dr. Spencer Johnson says this book "An A-Mazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life whether it's the challenge of a changing relationship, or

Throughout Chapter two, Author Kiyosaki elaborates the comprehension of “It’s not how much money you make. It’s how much you keep” (Kiyosaki 43). Throughout his various interactions with people, Kiyosaki is often presented with the repetitiveness of inquiries from individuals that desire a quick fix to land on the road to success. Becoming rich is clearly not enough the severity of attaining a financial intellect is bears profitable. He elaborates his logical thinking by highlighting the decline of the richest of business men and the commonality need of obtaining and applying a financial education.
