Town, Phil
2006
Phil Town wasn't always a very wealthy man. In fact, he was living on $4000 a year when some well-timed advice launched him into an investing self-education that revealed what the true "rules" are and how to make them work in one's favor. Chief among them, of course, is: don't lose money. Other rules are: don't diversify; think like an owner, not an investor. Town also believes strongly in putting your faith in managers who've proven their financial mettle, and who really have faith in the businesses they're running. The most controversial of the book's assertions is that giant 401(k) type mutual funds will regress to the mean, and in the next twenty years, the mean could be very disappointing. Fortunately, Town's stockpicking techniques are meant to walk investing phobes through the do-it-yourself process, equipping them with the tools they need to make quantum leaps toward financial security.--From publisher description.

Openshaw's seven-pronged plan, based on research of the Forbes 400 Richest and surveys of over 3,000 Americans, teaches you how to redefine your comfort zone and avoid the excuses that hold so many of us back. You'll learn how to use what's already at your fingertips--the people, places, and opportunities closest to you--to make money. Along with her seven winning strategies, she includes advice on: turning your passions into profits; how to make people WANT to help you; three powerful ways to turn a "no" into a "yes"; how to connect with top decision-makers; how to create your own advisory board; and dealing with debt.--From publisher description.
