This book would make an outstanding gift for any forward thinking teen, young adult graduating high school or college, or even an older person who is ready to take action toward financial independence.
Masterson speaks from his experience in building his own wealth and helping thousands of others along the way. In order to super charge your income and accumulate wealth, you have to find a way to set yourself apart and become a major contributor to the bottom line. This means, if you work for another company, you will most quickly move ahead by directly impacting profits (sales, marketing, product creation, profit management). These profit-making types of positions come with increased risks and challenges, and Masterson provides practical advice for powering through these. Another great tool book for high productivity and adding value to whatever you do is Dave Lakhani's "The Power of an Hour".
My husband and I both have walked the path Masterson sets forth to owning your own businesses. We openly share with our kids both the challenges and rewards of these choices and they already are expressing an interest in running their own companies along the lines of their individual interests. How exciting to be living in a time and place where this is more possible than ever.
Use this book to help educate your children about investing, the power of compounding interest (start early!), choosing a rewarding career, maximizing your value and income, and keeping your wealth building in perspective while creating an enjoyable life. Creating a rich life is not all about money and it's nice to see Masterson included this point in his book.
Schools rarely teach the important topics covered in this book so it's even more imperative that parents and caring adults do (think nieces, nephews, babysitters, lawn care helpers, student leaders and others). Buy a copy of this book and share it with the young adults in your life. It would not surprise me if, regardless of your own stage of life, you find yourself perusing it before giving and come back for a copy of your own.
