Review- Secrets of a Self Made Millionaire











This is a pic of the book, pic and book can be found here











Secrets of a Self Made Millionaire Podcast








I bought this lecture for a few dollars via iTunes some time ago. I don't think I even listened to it before I forgot about it. I was sscrolling through my iPod at the gym, looking for something to listen too and found it!







And I'm glad I did. Although a little dated, according to iTunes it was published in 2006, the advice is still relevant for today.







Brian goes through several points on how he became a millionaire, including hard work, determination and skilling up. I really like the example of living on Someday Isle, as in some day I'll do this and someday I'll do that. I think we all live on some day isle at some point in our life, but turning those dreams into realities is what separates us from true success.







Another point he makes is skilling up. He doesn't quite label it as such, but essentially he tells his listeners that you should always be learning new things. He advocates courses and reading books and newspapers and comments that we can't afford not to. I love this point and wholeheartedly agree.







He talks about how you have to give more than 40 hours a week to your job/career. Put in what you expect to get out. It is simply not enough to go to work then switch off when you leave.











The lecture goes for 46min (perfect for a gym workout I might add) and Brian Tracy is a clear and informative speaker. Although I do reccomend this talk, I think it should be cheaper ...or free as it is short and sounds as if it was recorded from a lecture (but then he's millionaire and I'm only aspiring to be one hehe).
