Publisher's summary

Number-one worldwide best seller Bodo Schafer suggests tips to help make you as successful as he and many others have been by showing you the road to financial freedom.

For many people, the concept of actually owning a million dollars at one time is completely unfathomable. So what if you could do it in seven years? Bodo Schafer, renowned financier and personal management aficionado, is back again to help people discover the tips and tricks that successful individuals employ to make it to the top.

The Road to Financial Freedom is just that - a journey, and one Schafer has elected to help you undertake. Being rich and successful isn't merely luck; it takes discipline, tools, and an understanding of finances that most people simply don't have. This book is here to help unravel the shroud that keeps success out of the grasp of ordinary individuals.

In this book you will learn:

• How to manage and eliminate debt
• Asset control and growth
• Ways to not depend on others for financial solvency
• And so much more!

While becoming a millionaire in just seven years seems like a dream to some, those who practice the habits in this book could very well see it become a reality. Individuals are fraught with financial prejudices they don't know they have, which keep them from attaining success they don't know they are capable of. You can earn money, manage that money, and watch that money grow exponentially in a way that allows you every want without becoming destitute, because at the end of the day it's all about making your money work for you instead of spending your whole life working for your money.

The book what gave me a motivational boost

Would you consider the audio edition of The Road to Financial Freedom to be better than the print version?

It depends what you prefer. As I'm getting faster tired while reading books, I personally prefer audiobooks same time my hands are free I can be more mobile.

What other book might you compare The Road to Financial Freedom to and why?

I haven't read many books about such a subject, but I could somehow compare The Road to Financial Freedom book to Richard Branson book - "Screw it, Let's do it". Somehow it felt same inspirational and opened many hidden doors to see the bigger picture of how to get closer to financial success. Both books inspired me a lot and dared me to make a new important steps in my life - start saving and don't waste money.

What does Kelly Rhodes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

After all, I loved the idea about saving 10% of your income. This for me is as a foundation for building wealth and experience financial freedom in long run. The book it self will not make nobody rich, you just have to take the action and use the principles and technique presented in the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Interesting task...I would probably go with : "I bet you had no idea that also You can be rich..."

Any additional comments?

Listening to the book story I saw many similarities to my situation, what i have been doing wrong, blaming others for my own fails, avoiding responsibilities...Living over my budget, it's so true that many people thinking like this - to live now and don't think about tomorrow is so right. When i was younger I was thinking the same. I can only say many thanks to the author Bodo Schäfer for really powerful material for people who lost their faith that can be better. "The Road to Financial Freedom" is must read for every ambitious and desire to change lives person. I am inspired.

Excellent!

This book is truly a must read for anyone looking to further grow their potential knowledge of financial and self development. Do go without it people!!

Guide to a prosperous life

Any additional comments?

I’m so glad I came across this book. ‘The Road to Financial Freedom’ has amazing principle for living an effective life. Bodo's style of writing is so hilarious and it makes an enjoyable read. It's not just some self-help book that preaches you on how to be rich, but more of a journey to greatness. The book is full of other people's stories and this helps in making it intriguing and easy reading. At 18 even though financial freedom is not the most important thing on my mind right now, but it’s the ultimate goal I want to achieve in my life. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a brighter future but has no idea how to achieve it.
