Not a book I can recomend
I have read over 300 success books, and I sell over 1500 success audio titles from the worlds leading authors. I have written many reviews on some of the finest success titles on Amazon. My review on this book is very short and sweet. Please do not waste your money buying this book.

Don't get me wrong, the content is not bad, but it is not sensational either. It is a very ordinary run of the mill book. The author does inform the reader that the book is really only a reference type of book. Intermingled within each chapter is an exercise which the reader has to complete. Due to nature of the authors prose which lack defining substance, many readers who come across this book will not be able to jump the massive mental valley to answer the questions. The book does not provide enough answers for you to do this.

I come from the UK, as such we live within a social democratic society. I therefore hate, in fact it disgusts me, to read so much biased personal political diatribe within a success book. I am sorry but I don't think authors of SUCCESS books should ram down the readers throats, so much political opinion as this man does.

If you want a real success book, please disregard this book, and go for a book with real substance, SUCCESS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT by Tommy Newberry. This book has everything that this book lacks. Another great book is The simple way to Success by Larry Winget. Both of these books knock spots off this book.

So to summarise, there is nothing really wrong with the "Success" content as far as it goes. The problem is that it is very brief on content. The book is tainted by an author who pushes his own political philosophy, which has no place in a success book of this nature. There are therefore better books on the market, go buy them.

A Must Read
The guidelines put forth by the author are a perfect guide to amassing wealth. I can't imaging how difficult it must have been for the author to coem to this country with nothing. He is to be commended not only for his success, but also for trying to help others who come here in the same situation.

The Power of Rebirth
As the former director of a refugee agency, the book "From Refugee to Millionaire" offers a singular insight on the value of opportunity. Indirectly, the book also reflects on the investment for a nation that elects not to close the door on those who seek shelter.

When we think of the refugee, the image associated in our mind, is usually that of frail humans beings caught in limbo. A tent camp seating in the no-man's-land, where families beg for an opportunity to redirect their life on the face of political or natural disasters. This book, presents the other face of asylum, that of the myriad of human beings who move forward from a past of failure to enrich those societies which took a chance on them.

Mr. Mendoza, intents to repay us by trying to share with us what he considers to be the secret of his success. He accomplishes so, with rare skill, simple analysis, and many glimpses into his charming personality. From any who has experienced once the bite of self-doubt, to whomever stumbles in search of a financial compass, all must read this book.

From the couple starting a family business, to the executive overseeing the work of many, to the stock booker managing fortunes raised with so much dedication and personal investment.

I cannot garantee you any measure of financial growth from reading this book. But I will say this, because the book will build your confidence, outlay a simple to follow strategy and give you an appraisal on self-assurance and self-determination, you will all certainly become enriched by it.

I totally enjoy it!
