Empowering

I felt like I was hasty by wanting things immediately. This book is showing me, that I all along was right in my readiness for change, interaction and accomplishments.

I’ve already began steps to implement Tim’s instructions and I’m honestly aggravated that I allowed such people to control my time and ultimately my emotions.

This books makes me feel truly powerful and I highly suggest it for everyone who is smarter than the average rat race accepting humanoid.

Great Information

This is a great audiobook with tons of information. The only downside I would say is that it is 12 hours of listening. Which isn't really a downside as much as you just need to be ready to listen to it more than once so you can get all the information from it.

Great Content - Would reread Physical Book

Great overall content. I listened to and from work. It was longer than others I’ve listened to. There were several chapters I had to fast forward because there were a lot of numbers and calculations involved ,which made it difficult to keep up with via audio book. I would recommend this book if someone could read a physical copy.

Best book ever for financial freedom ideas stepByStep


I just finished this book about 4 minutes ago and I was astonished ! Took me about a week and a half to listen to all the chapters, listening to about an hour to 2 hours per day on and off. Am a custodian with colossal ambitions and ready to set the world on success fire! 🌈🤙🏼 i just recently got into financial books like these, I finished “Rich Dad Poor Dad” on audible and it led me to this amazing work! I would say this book is more step by step than “R.D,P.D” and more in depth with actual ideas on how to be financially free to work anywhere in the world with so many references it’s crazy you don’t know these websites by now with the googles and what not! So definitely check this book out if you don’t even know where to start on finances or just are broke, we all deserve to be Rich, so let’s do this together my fellow wonderful humans! Peace Love & Prosperity 2 All!!🌈🤙🏼❤️👍🏼🌍🐋

Get the physical book also

This audible version is nearly impossible to take in by listening alone. So much information is packed into this book that you should really have the actual book itself in order to follow along, bookmark, etc. I wish my 20 year old self would have read this. Highly recommend!!

One of the greatest

One of the greatest books I have ever listened to. Will be re-reading and re-listening many times over. Also worth noting that I rarely like non fiction audiobooks that are not narrated by the author. Not only did Ray do an impeccable job, but he makes you feel like he is Tim Ferriss. Disclaimer: I hadn’t Heard- Tim Ferriss talk before listening to this, so you may disagree with my last statement if you have… enjoy!
