Review of Keep It Simple (Hardcover)

I worked over-night at an amusement park for security.For 6 hours a night, I would read.I bought about every book in the store that existed, so I had to settle for this one.I hate Terry Bradshaw.

Well, I used to hate him.:)This book opened up my eyes.It was the only book I ever really loved, in the 6 months I had that job.I've read it twice now, and I'm sure number 3 is on its way!Read this book!!You don't need to be a football fan, as there is very little about football in here.It's educational and motivational.Definately worth the money!

Review of You're Broke Because You Want to Be: How to Stop Getting By and Start Getting Ahead (Hardcover)

When is the last time you sat down and read a book cover-to-cover without stopping?That is just what I did the other day when I got home and found Larry Winget's book waiting for me from Amazon.In "You're Broke Because You Want To Be..." Larry Winget uses this in your face style of self-help coaching to let you know that there is a way out of this debt hole you are in.Given the current state of the economy, this book couldn't have come out at a better time.

Larry puts it on the line and basically says that all of us have the power to make our lives better and stop the financial bleeding if we want to -- and you know what he is right.He states, for example, to get off your rear end and stop watching television and take a class or learn something new to help advance your career which helps you earn more money.He's dead on in that regard -- I personally stopped watching the idiot box over 2 years ago and started taking night classes towards an MBA.It has helped me more than I could ever have imagined.

The problem with this book is that most people, just as Larry says, won't want to do what he tells you to.They don't want to give up their cable TV, they don't want to get a 2nd job to pay off the bills, they don't want to stop eating out every other day.They just want a magic bag of money to drop into their lives.Well wake up folks, it isn't going to happen.The theme of this book can best be describes as "It's All About You!" -- YOU have to sacrifice to get out of the hole and if you aren't willing to or don't want to make tough choices then save your money and don't buy the book and continue living in your financial nightmare.

After reading this book I got the extra "boost" I needed to continue working my 2nd job (my own small business) to help it grow even more.My goal is to be debt free by the beginning of 2009 and I know I can do it -- I got my shot of reality from reading this book.Now I'm ready to hunker down and make it happen!
