[How I Made My First Million: Sixteen True Stories of How British Tycoons Made Their Fortunes] [By: Cohen, Tammy] [August, 2010]

Who wants to be a millionaire? We all do, actually. Only nowadays it's not enough to have just one million, as being really comfortable requires having several million in the bank. With more millionaires than ever before, it seems tantalizingly within reach. Ina dream, or dared to think outside the box.

About the author

Tammy Cohen (who was previously published under her formal name Tamar Cohen) is a freelance journalist. A late starter to fiction - and to other things besides - she has now written four novels. The Mistress's Revenge, The War of the Wives, and Someone Else's Wedding. The Broken was her first pyschological thriller, followed by Dying for Christmas. Her brand new hardback novel, First One Missing is out now.

She lives in North London with her partner and three (nearly) grown children, plus one very badly behaved dog.

A bit dated but some nice stories about perseverance...

Meh, 2.5

"Aku berdiri di lorong sebuah rumah dengan tiga kamar tidur dan perabotan indah. Kedua lenganku mendekap ibuku yang menangis sesenggukan penuh kegembiraan. Orang tuaku telah mengorbankan begitu banyak hal ketika membesarkanku. Mereka bertahan tanpa membeli pakaian baru, kadang tanpa makanan, demi membesarkan keluarga. Kini, aku sudah mampu melakukan apa yang selalu ingin kulakukan sejak kecil-membelikan rumah untuk ibuku."

Hmm…persis seperti impian saya, “membelikan rumah untuk ibu”. Nice book. Cukup memotivasi untuk mendapatkan my first million.

Paling suka dengan kata-kata Kim Einhorn berikut :D

"Katakan 'Ya' Lebih Dulu dan Panik Kemudian"

[Deepak Patel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Its an inspirational book. 16 entrepreneurs sharing their moments in lives. Quite interesting stories some of them but the theories in life do get contradicted as each entrepreneur share their own ideas of success.

The book I'd say is definitely worth a read at least once but the overall the mantra would be to believe yourself.

A good and inspiring book for all those who dream to make it BIG. And the formula to success after reading all the sixteen stories, don't wait for things to happen but make it happen.
