“Speedwealth: How To Make A Million In Your Own Business In 3 Years Or Less” by T. Harv Eker is a simple, very short book with a few good ideas and 35 pages of “The Peak Potentials Catalog.” The idea the book contains are good, and reading this quick little book can be motivating. One will need much more to actually make a Million, and even Eker knows this. He encourages the reader to expand their knowledge and uses the motto “your income can only grow to the extent that you do.” right before his Catalog of seminars and products.
After a brief dedication and a little about the author, the book starts with its speedwealth principles. On the left hand page there is a quote, such as the first one, “Power Principle: Conventional wisdom doesn't work... and never did.” So the actual text of the book is only on the right hand sides. So there's only about 36 pages of text in the first 72 pages of the book. This makes it a very quick read. Pages 73-74 contain a personal message from Eker, where to go next. Pages 75-110 contain the catalog of his services and products. Guess where Eker wants you to go next?
What about the speedwealth principles? They are good principles and ideas, but this book doesn't provide the reader with a way to implement them. The principles are ideas such as: Develop a speedwealth mindset, deliver massive value, timing, systemize, duplicate, leverage, cashing out, enjoying the mission, and do it now. All of these are sound ideas. And all of them are important concepts in business, especially if you want to make money quickly. And while Eker provides some brief examples, he does not go into any depth with them. Again, it is a very short book and a quick read.
Should you read the book? Yes, if you want a quick introduction to the concepts above, and a shot of motivation to get you pursuing those concepts. Also read it if you want to know what else T. Harv Eker has to offer in the way of books, audio, and mostly seminars, training and coaching programs. I have to admit, a couple of the seminars do look interesting, and I've talked to people who said they got a lot out of Eker's seminars. (However, they were also selling Eker products now too.) So that's what you'll get from “Speedwealth: How To Make A Million In Your Own Business In 3 Years Or Less.” Use it for a quick shot of motivation and to stimulate ideas and pursuit of greater things.
