We believe that understanding moneyhow to ethically make it, keep it, and share itadds a positive dimension to wealth. Our lives, our relationships, and our happiness improve when we have enough money. Thats why we wrote this book.

We want to get you started on having more than enough money (being rich) by providing you with the tools and a path to make your first million dollars. When that happens to you, we believe you will naturally share with others.

In fact, our goal is to help create 1,000,000 millionaires. Why?

The cascade effect of 1,000,000 millionaires sharing their wealth (both in knowledge and cash) will positively change the economic future of the world.

We are both millionaires. Throughout our careers weve inspired thousands of others to become millionaires through our bestselling books and presentations. Along the way, weve also experienced setbacks. Each of us has suffered through devastating periods of financial instabilityeven bankruptcy. These were hard, embarrassing times. Fortunately, we rebounded to earn even higher incomes and build even greater fortunes. We know the road to wealth, from its annoying potholes to its extraordinary vistas. Now we will show you how we did itand how you can, too.

We can only provide you the tools and a path (our system) that will make it easier for you to become a millionaire. However, you have to use the tools and travel the path.

This is not a typical book. In fact, its two books in onea nonfiction book, which youre reading now, and a novel, which well get to shortly.

You may be wondering why we designed such an unusual hybrid.

After having coached tens of thousands of people to financial success, weve learned that people have different learning styles. Generally, they are either artists or engineers. The artists among you are right-brain visual learners. You engineers are left-brain logical learners. By using both learning styles, we drive the message home more powerfully. Instead of just informing you, we want you to be transformed.

Therefore, after these few introductory pages, the book will be divided into distinctly different left-and right-side pages. The right-side pages will tell the fictional tale of a single mother, Michelle Ericksen, who is faced with a terrible dilemma. She needs to earn a million dollars in 90 days in order to reclaim her two children.

Could you make a million if your loved ones lives depended on it?

The right-side pages are meant to represent the right brain of wealththe drama of the struggle between our dreams and our fears. We hope you will get swept up in the story of Michelle. Put yourself in her shoesimagine what you would do in her place. How would you handle the challenges she faces? Then imagine taking the place of Michelles wise guide, SamanthaSam, for shortand notice what advice you would want to give Michelle. How would you help her cope with her fears? Overcome her oppressive obstacles? What wisdom would you share?
