If you want to become a millionaire, I think that you should know what millionaires do. This book will summarize all of the interesting mindsets and activities for you.

[Zahra Kent · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really good starter book, perfect for teens and those that are starting out in investment and money saving which is what I was looking for. Good smart little tips that are well researched.

[Henry Suryawirawan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book consists of 100 tips on how to improve your financial life and thus achieve your financial goals. Some of the tips have UK related context which might not be applicable for those living in another countries. I like the breadth of topics covered in the book, from mindset, savings, investment up to tax and will preparation.

In summary, this book is not an in-depth personal financial book, but rather a handbook that you can use to remind you on how to improve your finance through practical tips.

[Jane Becker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was luckily to be able read just before it is published this follow-up to Nigel's best selling 100 Things Successful People Do. Nigel new book is a really cool and helpful guide to building up your wealth in a meaningful way. I loved chapter 7 which talks about wealth may not assure your of happiness.

[Mohamed AlThani · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so helpful and thankfully easy to read, understand and digest. I do hope it is translated soon into Arabic for my friends back home :)

[Erwin Saputra · Rating 5 out of 5]

the only thing I don't like from this book is the font size is way too small, maybe 'cause they need to fit each chapter in 2 pages. Overall has pretty important information

[Pavel Raul · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book to be a great guide for anyone who is looking not only to improve their wealth, but also to feel and behave like a winner at life. “100 things milionaires do” is divided exactly into 100 small lessons about investing your money, strategies and daily habits of wealthy people, such as exercise, meditation, reading and so on. Since every lesson is almost exactly 2 pages long, it is very easy to read. The book is written in a simple manner, without many confusing topics and terms, and at the end, there is section dedicated to explaining into more detail the few ones that the author had to use. Overall, i think that it s a great book and i recommend it to anyone who is looking to become more financially educated.

[Alex Norcross · Rating 1 out of 5]

Please do not waste your time or money on this book.

I doubt anyone - wealthy, middle class, or poor - would glean anything original or useful from this book. This thing is a random splatter of advice, much of it inane platitudes like "If it seems to good to be true, it probably is" and "Making lists helps you stay organized." I think the idea of finding a therapist to talk to is a good idea for many people, but in our present time where mental health services are stretched thin and are financially out of reach for so many people this advice is like a kick in the face.

It hurts me to think someone might turn to this book for guidance.

[Megan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had not heard of this author, but now I am so inspired to read more of his books. My husband is so spot on; he's doing at least 80% of these strategies already, and I wish I didn't give him such a hard time in the past about his investing decisions.
Now that we have grown children who are trying to figure out finances, paying off college, managing future jobs, I want them to read this book too. The networking chapters are so important.
I really appreciate that the author gives tips and then practical advice and clear examples. How could anyone argue with his strategies?

[William Yip · Rating 4 out of 5]

I disagree with the author's assertion that intuition is superior to facts and numbers. Some chapters slightly contradicted other ones. That said, the chapters were short and presented their message without any excess verbosity. The advice will help people reach their financial goals and consist of many different areas of life: doing research, reading contracts closely, getting insurance, being prepared for disaster, etc.

[michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable and mostly educational. Some things I already knew, other things appeared to contradict themselves (don't listen to intuition (for positive things) and do listen to intuition (for negative things)) until you think about them more and realize that maybe they do both work. I believe the author is British but he does try to give American examples or helpful websites when he has them.

[Victoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a cool book.
100 little lessons, 100+ ways to put them into use.
Each lesson, or the lessons that pertain to a particular season in life, can be utilized over a lifetime.
A perfect gift for every graduate moving forward in life.

[Johanna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mismatch.

Andere verwachting en dus teleurgesteld door alle open deuren.
Ik had gedacht dat er meer concreet met bepaalde personen zou worden gesproken, met achtergrondverhalen en persoonlijke ervaringen. Maar het is mij te erg de Nigel Cumberland show.

[DumDum · Rating 2 out of 5]

Boek viel erg tegen. Het zijn niet zozeer 100 dingen die miljonairs doen. Eerder 100 algemene tips zoals wees jezelf, neem enig risico en tegenslagen horen erbij. Ik had meer gewoontes sen gebruiken verwacht

[Terry · Rating 4 out of 5]

The very basics.

[Chardo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Practical and basic advice for money management; peppered with wise rules to live by.

[Meg Cowley · Rating 5 out of 5]

An incredible find of a book filled with concise, relevant, and actionable tips on money mindset. Highly recommended!

[Budoor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Summarized. Simple.

[Sharon Robertson · Rating 4 out of 5]

easy to read and implement well presented

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an insightful book! Really helps you with everything to do with budgeting, saving, management, motivation and growth! such a good read, recommend to everyone

[Tamzin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Generic self help book masquerading as a financial advice book

[Valerie Ott · Rating 1 out of 5]

I believe this list is good for financial management/ideas, however I don’t believe this list will lead you to be a millionaire. No new ideas were presented to me.

[Aisha Sherlock · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is like a start point to help find your way into building you wealth. It's full of ideas and plans which is good for a starter.

[Cristina · Rating 2 out of 5]

DNF - AS soon as he mentioned asking the universe what I could have I stop reading at 5%.

Not worth my time.

[Bohdan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too obvious.

[Amir · Rating 1 out of 5]

Read in a day, some interesting things but basic.

[Camille · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hope the tips will make us rich! 😅

Kidding aside, this is a perfect start up to develop the habits in wealth accumulation.

[Madiha Ahmed · Rating 5 out of 5]

You need to keep reading and re reading this. Nuggets of information and such good ones!!! Love this book !

[Johnnysbookreviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

It contains 100 tips to get wealthy. It’s a book you don’t have to read cover to cover. Choose what tips you want to read and apply them to your life.
