The book doesn't go into budgeting or how to pinch pennies to survive paycheck to paycheck. It's about lessons learned from failures, how to deal with rejection and criticism from your peers, who may disagree with your beliefs and viewpoints on building wealth.

A great book that explained in simple terms why most people are anchored to mediocrity by their own beliefs about money. Steve Siebold clearly lays out that by making a mindset change we can join the world class thinkers at the top. As I read this book I realized that my belief system was taught to me by generations of non-achievers and if I wanted to brake out of my rut I could do it by challenging what I have previously held as the truth about attaining more money.

Small chapters packed with great nuggets of information. You should put it at the top of your "to read list". Overall, this was an incredible book. It discusses how the world class's most valuable asset are their minds--not because of their sheer intelligence or high IQs, but rather that they have a different template in which which they see the world. Siebold teaches the reader how to create the same template the world class use.
