The Millionaire Mind,
by Thomas Stanley. If you enjoyed
The Millionaire Next
Door, you'll like this "sequel" 2000 book. Professor Stanley
describes the results of his academic research into the attributes of deca-millionaires ($10 million and up). He also includes numerous
statistical tables showing correlations between various personal
characteristics ("success factors") and significant wealth. (Did you
know that there is only a distant relationship between IQ and wealth?)
He also documents how owning small, profitable businesses (frequently
labor-of-love situations) much more frequently creates significant
wealth than inheritance or glamorous careers in sports or
entertainment. Indeed, the actual lifestyles of the truly wealthy are
very different from the Hollywood image of the "rich and famous." As a
very interesting and informative book, and as a myth dispeller, this is
a solid work. |

one generation. They came from economic ground zero...They are
of the millionaire mind."
