Becoming Rich: It’s all about attitude

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Paul McKenna’s book, I Can Make You Rich, has a great title. It’s very compelling. The statement is a very confident one and on the cover, McKenna looks out at you candidly, re-inforcing his bold statement. If becoming rich is an important goal, I defy anyone not to want to buy it!

So, does it deliver?

I’m not rich yet, BUT half way through reading it I did take the opportunity of starting a home business, and I know that this was THE THING that will get me there.

So, yes, I believe it does deliver.

But, of course, ultimately it’s up to the reader. Paul McKenna can only make me rich if I apply the tools.

What I like about this book is that most of it is about clearing up our deep-seated beliefs and attitudes about money that may be holding us back. We may be doing all the right things that we need to be doing to make money, but if we have been taught somewhere in our lives that money is somehow corrupt, or that rich people are mean and selfish, that is going to be a barrier to being rich.

For example, while reading the book, I realised that I had some issues about “rich” people (which I had picked up from my father). It suddenly made complete sense why I have always struggled around money all my life. If I basically believe rich people to be greedy and selfish, how can I possibly allow myself to become one of those people? McKenna helps you to replace these in-built beliefs and thoughts with more positive ideas. One which particularly helps me is the way that money helps you to be the person you really are - it creates freedom; the freedom to express yourself, to help others and to do what you really want to do.

McKenna gives you lots of excises to overcome these issues and focus on positive thoughts around money, as well as an excellent half hour hypnosis cd which comes with the book.

In the last half of the book, he deals with more practical ways of making money, such as how to get ideas and building a business plan.

If you have money issues; if it appears that no matter what you do, you just find it difficult to get the money you need, or if becoming rich sees to be an uphill struggle, then I highly recommend this book.
