As other reviewers have noted this book seems to be the cliff notes from motivational giants in the self-help genre. Theres very little original content or unique ideas. Most of the ideas are from Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn and the like. I think the author's heart was in the right place and that he has and will go on to help a lot of people but this book was a disappointment. If you aren't a big reader of self-help books you may find many of the ideas valuable but if you are then look else where.

This is a book, which is absolutely worth to read. And not only once. It's great summary of self-development culture, with a lot of details, based on work of top persons like Anthony Robins, Tim Ferris or author of book Millionaire Fastlane. I will come back to this book, and get extensive notes, because amount of actionable informations is just huge. If I would ever want to teach someone how to become millionaire, probably this book would do it better.

Challenge yourself and you will get what you want!
I really like it the way he talk about to be successful, he is given you ways to be success in life, I really recommended this book to anyone who is willing to change their life and be monetary independent.

I want to be clear, I didn't want to like this book. The title sounded gimmicky and it seemed at first blush like some sort of vacuous "hey I'm a rich guy I got rich by telling other people HOW TO GET RICH."
What this book ISN'T is actually a super clear path to 6 figures in 6 months. The most specific advice directly pertaining to that is setting a date in 6 months to quit for job which... sure?
However, what this book IS, is a fabulous discussion about goals, motivation, and how you can achieve them. He talks about setting long term goals, breaking them down, and taking action *now* to start working every day to achieve what you want. He has some really interesting suggestions for reaching out to mentors, asking friends for your strength, and other REALLY practical things you can do.
Honestly I wish he would ditch the entire schtick about "6 months to 6 figures" because this is really a book about setting goals, and what you need to do in order to have the drive to focus on them. And for that, this book is EXCELLENT.
The book isn't perfect - there's a lot of rhetoric that imply people are poor because they're either stupid or lazy, and people who are rich are rich because they're smarter and more driven, and that rhetoric is pretty statistically wrong and annoying - and occasionally he veers into less useful territory (really, I don't need a diatribe that isn't-giving-nutrition-advice-but-still-does).
All that said, don't be fooled by the marketing cover. No, this book by itself won't catapult you into 6 figures in 6 months. But this book IS a fantastic book about setting goals and doing what you need to do in order to achieve them, and in that regard it is absolutely one of the best.

Motivation with substance--first B book I've finished in a while!
This book is so worth it to buy! I was skeptical because of the get rich quick sounding title. It kind of reminded me of those late night infomercials on t.v., but others kept recommending it online and in podcasts. I'm so thankful that I actually stumbled upon his podcast too and only after listening to that did I connect him with this book again. He had good stuff to say, so I thought why not! I waste $20 on a random meal anytime...I can spare half that for a book if it will help me move my goals forward.
Glad I did. Very motivational and not just in the sense of what we usually think about (You have potential and you have potential...with the guy pointing at you, lol). But motivation that makes you really think about what you are doing right now. He helps you squash the "I don't have time argument" and brings that thing I to focus! Hitting the snooze button just doesn't feel the same any longer.
But the bigger thing is that if you know you WANT to start something, but get stuck too often doing nothing....this book offers you a push In the right direction with concrete advice. It helps you draft your plan of attack and helps you avoid the stuff that sidetracks you.
And last, but not least, if you do get the book...I happened upon a rather good combo by accident. I went back. And started listening to the podcast from the first episode around the same time I started the book. I read at home, but listen to podcasts when driving....it's been a really handy reinforcement to remind myself to stay focused on hitting my goals!

Peppered with typos and grammatical errors. A lot of recycled quotes and cliches, but not a lot of hard evidence to back up any statements. It's a motivational speech written down, rather than a meticulously researched book.

This is like a cliff's notes on a big bundle of self help and business books. It mostly takes quotes from other sources with very little original content.

If I was to right a book, it would end up like this. Now I know I shouldn’t! Back to the drawing board!

This book connected with me.
The tips are simple. The strategies are easy to implement. Personal development information just gets recycled but this book connected with me because it was simple. I could have kept consuming information from other books and taken little action but I have decided to master this book. It inspired me to take action and have a real plan which is something I have been lacking for a while. I’m glad it was written.

Nothing New Here But Don't Let That Fool You
As Peter says in the beginning of the book "the most dangerous thing is to say 'I already know that.'" You may already know these concepts but have you mastered them and are you implementing them?
Commit to mastering each chapter and earnestly completing the exercises before going on to the next chapter and by the end of the book you will have a plan and frame work that will allow you to achieve anything.
Fully executing what's in this book isn't going to be easy but it's not as hard as you might think either. Plus working hard now to achieve your dreams is a lot better alternative than frustration and mediocrity for your entire life.

Much of this read is very similar to Jim Rohn, John Maxwell and many other motivational and personal development industry leaders. If you read books on leadership, sales, marketing, personal development and teamwork; you will recognize and make the connection of much of what Peter says in his book. I personally prefer the Compound Effect by Darren Hardy because he gives you a great idea about how small actions overtime can have a long term effect. He also talks about looking more at yourself than blaming others for your troubles. I am not sure I would recommend this book. I'd rather buy someone The Compound Effect, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, Building an Empire, Building Your Network Marketing Business, Think & Grow Rich, Close that Sale or Start with Why over this book. Of course I can name more classics and recent publishings but this is my opinion and a small list of what I consider precious gems in the form of reading.

Actually pretty good, it's basically a collection and condensed version of personal development strategies from multiple sources and schools of thought, and because of that may sound repetitive to those who already read the original sources. However, the ones picked here are among the most effective ones. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for just that type of condensed writing.
I'd also say it's a bit overly self-promotional for the author, and doesn't deliver depth as to how/why the given strategies function, so it will probably not be as useful to those curious as to why something works.

If you are reading this book, chances are that you have probably already heard many of the things Peter promotes before. BUT, Peter has a fantastic ability to put it in a way that just really gets you out of the couch! It is like success almost become this thing of a recipe, and you can see how your "cake of succes" takes form as you add more and more of the ingredients from his book.
I thought it was an amazing read. And easy and fun as well!! Looking forward to starting "The Entrepreneurs Blueprint".

Peter challenges you to think above the norm and strive to be a top performer. He dives into everything that influences your success including circle of friends down to how your mornings should be like. The title of his book is a little misleading but his lessons do encourage you to strive higher. A good read and a good reminder to take charge of where you like to be with your career by goal-setting, networking, and basically - leveling up over 9000.

Possibly my best book of 2015, Peter Voogd is a great writer and passionate about life and making money. He provides incredibly inside with no Bullshit at all. He's straight to the point about what it takes to be successful and making money. He's very challenging in his view of being employed and makes me think as to why I am working for someone else. A must read.
January 28, 2016
A good book with some good advice for business owners. Not a lot that's really new here, but well presented, and the advice is solid. Highly recommended for those wanting to go into business for themselves.

I was very upset that I spent actual money on this book. It is the worst self help book I've ever read. I don't understand the hype around it. It's plagiarizing other books. Save your money and buy those other books.

I keep re-reading this book. It's a book I will pick back up 6 months from now a year from now 5 years from now. It's one of those books that is filled with some much insightful information you have to keep reading it at different stages of your life to continue to apply it's teachings.
February 15, 2015
A book I could not put down...
1 word...Brilliant.
Just the kind of book I needed to give me a kick in the backside to go after my goals. Get it, read it, apply it.

It's not that the book is bad but it is a mish mash of .information that has been previously said.

If you have never read any self-help/success books, you would enjoy this. Everyone else will likely find this book to be a form of "greatest hits" - lots of great content, but nothing new.

I own a law practice with my husband and we spend a large amount of time and money each year investing in business training and coaching to grow our business, so when I saw this book, it wasn't something I felt I 'needed' to read, but the title did intrigue me. I picked it up during one of Audible's BOGO sale and I can say I'm glad I didn't spend a full credit on it. I can't say I 'learned' anything new, per se, but this is a great compilation of lots of solid business advice.
I'm not sure how much of this book is really a genuine new 'creation' of the author, but even if it's just his compilations of notes from all of his business training and coaching, it's a useful, quick read that has many good reminders for anyone who wants to have success in his/her life. He also offers several "free" resources to help organize and apply what you take away from this book on his website which he details in the final pages of the book. I haven't explored those yet, but plan to do so soon.

This book will show you how to achieve any goal you are going after much quicker than you thought.
With several pages asking for you to write in the book, you are as much the author as Peter Voogd himself.
A large takeaway I had from this book is to double down on everything that will help you accomplish what you want and eliminate what is distracting you or holding you back. It sounds simple, but I am very excited to see the results that come out of following this principle.

I found it thought provoking and I liked the way he pushes to write things down, which I did and find useful. It was very much focused towards entrepreneurs and less towards those who want to improve their life within a general work environment, and there were some times I found the style preaching and the content a bit limited, but for this type of self help book, overall I have taken some useful things from it, and worth the read due to the internal/external contemplation it requires.

Title doesn’t do it justice - sounds like a get rich quick scheme but it is so far from that.
I’d say it’s more a compilation of great lessons and quotes from the greatest self-help gurus and it’s great to get that from the one source.
No matter what you’re trying to achieve in life, this book can help you gain momentum.
It’s also a quick read - well worth the few hours it’ll take from your life.

This book does not deliver on the promise of its title. Material was regurgitated. As an avid self-help, business, and entrepreneurship reader, I received nothing of value from it. I did struggle through until the very end though, because I like completing as many books as possible and giving them all a fair shake.
I feel that the author wrote this book to make a quick buck and/or promote himself and his brand. Very disappointing.
