My Thoughts: This happens to be the first audio book I have listened to (apart from my audio bible) and I really enjoyed the experience to say the least. After my last non-fiction read, I was encouraged to read this book and it was worth the while. The One Minute Millionaire is a book that was written with everyone in mind, one part of the book tells a fictional story of a widow who had to raise one million dollars in 90 days and how she was able to achieve this goal to get her children back while the other part of the book (the non-fiction part) gives step by step strategies on how to succeed. I was intrigued by this style of writing especially for people like me who are not too keen on non-fiction it made the journey easier. I was motivated by some of the ideas and saw myself taking notes at different times. I am already applying some of the tips I have picked up from this and I hope God helps me to be consistent and stay focused. The downside for me was that some of the principles laid out in this book may not be applicable in our environment (Nigeria) especially where it focused on real estate investment however, I believe if you think outside the box, you may be able to modify some of the ideas and make it work for you no matter where you find yourself. This book has pumped me up and I am ready to start the race to be a One Minute Millionaire. Are you interested? Then get a copy of this book, read it and join me….
