A must listen for entrepreneurs; new and seasoned!

I have been in business for over ten years and by most standards, I am successful and have built a solid business. I LOVED this book because it is a great reminder of what we all need to do be successful. These are certainly not new concepts, but the fundamentals shared in this book are basic building blocks for success. I not only recommend this to everyone (whether entrepreneur or Corporate-world die hard), but I purchase this for my clients, business associates, and would-be-entrepreneurial friends. This is a quick and easy listen that can make profound changes in today's small business owner. Get it. Listen to it. Live it!

One of the best listen to's!!!

This audio helped me get my thoughts together in terms of business. the advise given was something that could be put together immediately.

Motivational

Well worth the time to listen to. Has a lot of positive hints on advancement if you are willing to take them.

Excellent Real Life Application

This book tells a tale compiled from many real world experiences and as such delivers the message with impact and believability. The summation of volumes of ideas, boiled down to their essence, whets the appetite and definitely quickens the entrepreneurial spirit. If you enjoy Patrick Lencioni's work you might like this, too.

Millions For Free

Thanks audible for this book that gives inspration for life....

Interesting narration and premise

loved it. clear and based on simple principles that can be applied in daily life. it puts the onus with the individual and does away with excuses

Inspiring

What made the experience of listening to Millionaire Upgrade the most enjoyable?

It was what I needed to hear and I found it quite inspiring.

Determined

This listen lays a foundation of understanding what mindset it takes to move forward to the life you're dreaming of. It doesn't give you advice on exactly what steps to take in order to get there, but I did find it inspiring, and even though my review comes 9 years after I first read it, some of the ideas still stick with me, so I'll have to give it 5 stars for the motivation it instilled in me. Although I still am far from Millionaire status... of course, that's no one's fault but my own.

Great short summarization of what to do

It is a story about a man sitting beside a successful entrepreneur in a plane ride. During the course of the flight the successful entrepreneur tell his story on how to become successful. It is some quite valuable lessons. I guess I have heard most of them before, but the idea of placing them so close together is quite interesting. It is a god way to put them all together.
One framework used in the book is to tie everything together is the phrase:

Good info but nothing new

I liked the book, but it didn't have much new info at all compared to the more popular books by James Allen or Napoleon Hill. Won't read it again. Good principles but they are presented more clearly by other authors. Book like these make be wonder why I don't write a book.
