Think Like a Billionaire, Become a Billionaire

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Billionaires Think Differently About:

Money we look for ways to spend money. Billionaires look for ways to invest money.

Investing we invest just a little. Billionaires realize investing is the key to abundance.

Jobs we think a better job will make us wealthy. Billionaires know that a job will never make them wealthy; investments will.

Risks we stay away from risks because we might fail. Billionaires know if they don't take risks, they've already failed.

Problems we try to avoid problems. Billionaires see problems as opportunities to make millions.

Preparation we prepare today for today. Billionaires prepare today for the opportunities of tomorrow.

Time we waste time. Billionaires see time as their most valuable asset.

Billionaires think differently, and their lives produce differently. Follow me on the journey i took in changing my thinking. I went from just getting by to having millions of dollars, and i'm on my way to billions. As you begin to think like a billionaire, your life has no choice but to produce it.

About the Author
After interviewing numerous multi millionaires, reading more than twenty books on becoming a millionaire and listening to nearly 400 hours of CD's on obtaining wealth, Scot came to a conclusion, Billionaires think differently than the rest of us. In just one year, Scot changed his thinking, and this took him from having a net worth of maybe $250,000 on a good day, to a net worth of over $3,000,000 in just one year. That's a net worth more than twelve times where he started, with an additional $15,000,000 in current projects. If he continue on that pace, he should be a billionaire in the next ten years. Take this journey with him, change the thinking in you, begin to think like a billionaire, and your life will have no choice but to produce it.

Patron Saint of the Second Chance. A second chance. Who better to offer it than Bill Bartmann. -- The Wall Street Journal

Product Description
There have been plenty of books written on the topic of Success & Failure. This book is remarkably different from all the rest. Billionaire Secrets of Success is the first success and failure book written by a person who has personally experienced being a millionaire three times, being bankrupt twice, and being a billionaire once. Bill's successes have been the subject of more than 470 news articles in publications ranging from Forbes, Fortune, BusinessWeek, Inc., People, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. The author's unique journey from poverty to being the twenty-fifth wealthiest person in America, with several ups and downs along the way, has given him an amazingly unique perspective from which to share his experiences and the lessons he learned. He shares with the reader his nine principles for attaining success. These nine principles are not the product of some academic conclusion. Bill has personally tested these nine principles, not once, not twice, not three times, but four times over the past twenty five years . . . and they have worked every time. These nine principles work for all, no matter education, social status, financial situation, or how many times they failed in the past. Here is what these nine principles did for him, and they can do the same thing for anyone: FROM? ? TO Poverty and welfare? ? 25th wealthiest person in America High school dropout? ? Permanent place in the Smithsonian Institute Working at traveling carnival? ? National Entrepreneur of the Year Gang member ? ? Case study by Harvard Business School Minimum wage? ? $100 million annual income Riding the bus? ? His own personal $25 million jet Homeless? ? $2 million, 12,000 square foot home Drawing unemployment? ? Employing 4,000 Million dollars in debt? ? Billionaire Bill's book is also unique in that it explains in plain language the mechanics of the mental processes that guarantee our success or our failure. Once you understands how these processes work, you can begin to change your life. It is not too late! No matter where you are or what you have done or failed to do . . . you can become the person you deserve to be! Let Bill show you the way.

The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Amazon Exclusive: Kevin Spacey on The Accidental Billionaires

Kevin Spacey's films include Superman Returns, Beyond the Sea, The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, Swimming with Sharks, Seven, L.A. Confidential, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Negotiator, Hurlyburly, K-Pax, and The Shipping News. He will next be seen in Men Who Stare at Goats opposite George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, and Jeff Bridges, as well as Nick Moran's film Telstar opposite Colm O'Neil and Pam Ferris. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of The Accidental Billionaires:

I first met Ben Mezrich when I produced and starred in 21, the film adaptation of his great bestseller Bringing Down the House. Ben has a gift for finding high-energy, strange-but-true tales and The Accidental Billionaires is no exception.

You may think you know the story of the Facebook phenomenon, but you haven't heard the whole story and never like this. Recreating the unbelievable rise of the world's biggest social network-not to mention the planet's youngest billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg-Ben tells a captivating story of betrayal, vast amounts of cash, and two friends who revolutionized the way humans connect to one another-only to have an enormous falling out and never speak again.

Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were two geeky, socially awkward Harvard undergrads who wanted nothing more than to be cool. While Eduardo chose the more straightforward path of trying to gain acceptance into one of the school's ultra-posh, semi-secret Final Clubs, Mark used his computer skills by hacking into Harvard's computers, pulling up all the pictures of every girl on campus to create a sort of "hot-or-not" site exclusive to Harvard. Though the prank nearly got Mark kicked out of college, he and Eduardo realized that they were on to something big. Thus, the initial concept of Facebook was born; what happened next, however, was right out of a Hollywood thriller.
The Accidental Billionaires is the perfect pairing of author and subject. It's pure summer fun-a juicy, fast-paced, unputdownable Mezrich tale that adds to his canon of lad lit. And Hollywood has come calling again: I'm currently working with Dana Brunetti, Scott Rudin, Mike Deluca, and Aaron Sorkin on the movie adaptation of The Accidental Billionaires. If the book is any indication, the film is going to be a must see.-Kevin Spacey

From Bookmarks Magazine
Mezrich forsakes the technical and business aspects surrounding the creation of Facebook and instead opts for juicier stories of "hot girls," all-night celebrity parties, and sex. Much to the chagrin of critics, even these lurid details were not enough to entertain them. They also criticized the author's forays into fiction: it's no secret that Mezrich plays fast and loose with the truth -- he says as much in an author's note -- but reviewers complained that his plot embellishments were laughable. Mezrich's inability to obtain an interview with Zuckerberg and his reliance on Zuckerberg's bitter ex-business partners for information necessitated some conjecture, but even with invented dialogue and imagined motives, Zuckerberg fails to come to life. Facebook addicts may rejoice, but all others should avoid Billionaires.
