Brian Buffini, an Irish immigrant who went from rags to riches, shares his strategies for anyone who wants to achieve the American dream.

Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Brian Buffini immigrated to San Diego, California, at the age of 19, with only 92 dollars in his pocket. Since then he has become a classic American rags-to-riches story. After discovering real estate, he quickly became one of the nation's top real estate moguls and founder of the largest business training company, Buffini & Co., in North America.

He then challenges listeners to leave the comfort of their current work conditions to apply these secrets and achieve the success of their dreams.

Wow!

Such a fantastic message that Brian Buffini delivers in his book. He has phenomenal perspective and I want to hear more!

The narrator was on point. I didn't get bored or lost at any time during the book. He spoke with inflection and grabbed My attention from the beginning.

loved it

it was funny, heartfelt, inspiring and especially valuable, thank you Brian. The book touched on several day to day issues and it was all so true and such great perspective

Inspirational and an interesting angle on how we are all emigrants.

Brian Buffini’s story is amazing! What’s more amazing is that I feel I can follow many of the steps he has taken and achieve many of the same things.

The one downside is he is not the narrator. Other than that it’s a quick and to the point book.

I’ll recommend it to many of my friends and family. Enjoy!

Loved it!

Very inspiring and challenging. Thank you Brian Buffini for sharing your life story and being an encourager for others to reach their highest potential.

GREAT CONTENT

Some powerful insights and rules to live by. The author narrates the prologue and conclusion and his voice is very energetic. The narrator for the rest of the book made it difficult to get through at times. The main narrator's voice is soothing and kind of monotone which puts me to sleep even if the content is engaging.

Great Read (listen lol)

Very inspiring! Tons of information to improve life no matter what the circumstances you're in.

One of the best inspirational and motivational book I have listened to so far

I am an emigrant myself and I feel very inspired when someone had to overcome adversity,travel to a different country,with different culture and a left such a powerful mark and legacy. Today more than ever,I am confident that resources are not the problem nor the solution,you can have a lot or very little at the start,what matters most is the mindset. Listen to this book and feed your mind,continue your growth and learning and we will see you in the road to success.

Great Content

Any additional comments?

The content was great, unfortunately I didn't love the narrator for this book.

Inspiring

Excellent story, good narration. A story of hope, the American dream realized. Very well done!

Excellent, funny, practical, inspiring story!

Loved it! A must listen or read for anyone. Its a humorous and interesting weaving of Brian's story with current data and perspective on American culture. The interweaving of insights on gratitude, mindset, work, challenges, and personal growth are inspiring. Loved the quotes and doable actions to reset and achieving your own Emigrant Edge. Don't miss listening to the preface. The narrator did a great job, but as others have pointed out I would love to hear more of Brian's voice, if you've heard him speak his accent & timing are always fun. Dual narration would have worked as well. That said I highly recommend this book.
