Description
"I walked into my boss’s office to ask for a $150,000 raise..."
After skipping college, Steve Oliverez worked a series of low-paying jobs before setting a remarkable goal for himself - to double his income every year. In The Book on Making Money, he reveals what he learned while successfully hitting this goal for seven years in a row, growing his annual income to more than $1 million. Walking readers through the steps he took to reach his goal, Oliverez shows how they can apply the same techniques to greatly increase their own income, whether they work for someone else or run their own business.
Oliverez spells out his disagreements with the traditional wisdom that tells young adults to go to school, get good grades and find a safe, steady job - advice that has left many Americans with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans, credit card debt or mortgages on homes they can't afford. He also assaults the idea of saving one’s way to wealth as absurd and counterproductive, using his own experience of trying to save money while poor as an example. Instead of promoting an austere lifestyle of clipping coupons and spending as little as possible, he shows how those habits can actually prevent people from becoming wealthy.
Perhaps your goal is to create passive income, launch a startup or make money investing in the stock market. Maybe you're still an employee and you want to learn how to write a better resume, ask for a raise, and budget so you can get out of debt. This straight-forward guide will teach you how money works and give you the tools to achieve financial freedom.

This book is a razor-sharp blade. It delivers the truth about money, or making money.
Advice like 'Money doesn't care how hard you work', is something very original.
There's a lot of insights to be gleaned from the book.
The author also touched on Affiliate Marketing which helped him to shift into the riches which a reader needs to be open minded about it.
He also mentioned some unethical practices of other people he met which is pretty interesting as well.
It will be good if he could have a book all on that topic.
Overall, it is a book i will personally recommend to friends who are interested in making money as this book tried to rewire the brain to accept the truth about what money is.

At last a book for the everyday man or woman on why most books on managing money aren't much use. If you haven't got any what's to manage? The author focuses centrally on 'increasing your means' rather than just decreasing your spending which makes perfect sense. Combine this with the book Money by Rob Moore and you have a much needed philosophy shift about your finances. Will it tell you exactly how it is done? Not exactly, but it does inspire you to believe it can be done. The money making centre of this is adding value. Surprisingly readable and food for real thought.

I'm just not sure about this book. The author wants us to change a lot of our general beliefs on money management and wealth creation. I definitely don't buy one of his central premises that higher education is actually counterproductive. He does however have some interesting ideas on changing one's focus from reducing debts and expenses to increasing wealth. This is an interesting book, well worth some time and thought, especially to winnow out the concepts that work for you.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
