How to Make Millions with Your Ideas: An Entrepreneur's Guide

This book was featured on Josh Kaufman's "The Personal MBA" reading list. Since I seemed to share the similar interest in books as Mr. Kaufman, I decided to give this a try. Thank goodness!At roughly 200 pages of material, this book is a potential quick read. But, please don't assume that this is a negative; Mr. Kennedy's book got me thinking about ideas that laid dormant in my mind for quite some time. Although a little dated with regards to technology (the book was written mid-90s, so bear in mind what was happening with the internet). Having said that, I believe this forces the reader to keep on track with ideas and how to bring them to fruition, as opposed to being submitted to the ins/outs of website creation and PPC advertising.The book is comprised of 13 chapters (chapters 12 and 13 are a summary and "directory", respectively), each related to a certain strategy for developing your idea or selling it to others. Let me say quite clearly, I highly recommend this book for first-time entrepreneurs and the veterans. It covers products, services, common pitfalls to avoid, how to market what you're selling, how to get ideas for new products and even how to "piggyback" off of others. The marketing ideas within this book are almost limitless if you're paying attention.If you have thought about starting a business, I can't imagine that you could go wrong spending ten (10) bucks and four (4) hours of your time on this one. Make the decision, grab the book, read it, then implement the ideas. I took the author's advice and got the wheels moving as soon as I put the book down this morning.Josh Kaufman's review said this: "If you read How to Make Millions with Your Ideas and don't come away with a few promising ideas to dramatically improve your profitability or create a new business, you're simply not paying attention." I couldn't agree more.Thank you for reading this review. If you have found it helpful, please leave positive feedback below.

Yes, it's a bit dated regarding technology (specifically the internet) but it's full of interesting and practical ideas that can help create the mind shift for a successful business. It's also full of resources and lists. The principles are timeless and some of his insights invaluable. Look beyond the dated bits and see the foundations of his excellent ideas.

Although written in the late 90's it still contains relevant strategies. I think it is definitely worth a look. Good.

Gave it 5 stars because it does have someValue! However, the more of these I read the more I find nothing new or even different! There is no magic formula! Hard work and dedication, outlast, outwork, and over come!

I've been on a streak of finance, business, and self-help books the past several months. So far this is the worst. This book seems like it's written by an average Joe for a below-average Joe. Everything was common sense, and none of the advice was helpful. Besides that, much of it was repetitious. I don't know how many different ways you can say "do what you know," but I read that at least 20 times by chapter 7.Do not waste your money on this book. There are far better ones out there.

A fantastic book and very valuable for any entrepreneur. Ignore the recent reviews from idiots who say otherwise. Yes, there are things that are outdated because it was written before the Internet really took over, but I've never seen a book more packed with timeless PRINCIPLES of marketing and business or with so many inspiring case studies and examples you can adapt to your own situation, or to come up with new approaches. You read a book like this to trigger ideas and concepts, and it delivers. Anyone who thinks this book isn't packed with value is buying it for the wrong reasons (probably wants to be spoon-fed another here-today-gone-tomorrow Internet "business").

Dan Kennedy wrote this book to be helpful and is genuinly insightful for the reader. "How to Make Millions with Your Ideas" is dated material, but helpful and inspiring. Dan is candid and has a ton of practical knowledge to offer in this book. I can recommend this book because it delivers what is says it will; 8 different approaches to making your ideas work and make money. More recently his books are the longest sales letters ever written, all designed to get you to buy more of the same material from him.However, be warned he hates the internet and would like to ignore it. He wrote this in 1996 and the web was really forcing these old school guys to deal with it. So if you were looking for help with anything "e" related, like I was, this is not the book for you.Ironically, the two companies I found relevant to my marketing have been indited or convicted and are now out of business. I thought I would learn more about these companies after reading about them in this book. So I Googled them and found court cases and a bunch of nastiness. Interesting! Again, the book was written in 1996 and I read it in Mid-September 2007, anything can happen. Right?If you are looking for a book that is truly helpful with "e" marketing or is at least current STAY AWAY from "The Official Get Rich Guide to Information Marketing" I finished it a few days ago and was very disappointed; it kept referencing me to their website for the information I really bought the book for. If you really want to learn how to be a Junk-Mail Jockey or a Spammer skip buying that book and go directly to the Kennedy-Glazer web site and be prepared to spend BIG BUCKS for the real information.

I have most if not all of Dan's book and his course. He is one the great business consultant. He has more millions the most consultant I believe. I only wish I read these books when I was young. I be a billionaire now, with Gates and Buffet. Dan S. Kennedy's book decribes every option for truning sound ideas into fortunes. I have one book at home and one in the office because I like that much and know what it can do for many business ventures.

Viele praktisch realisierbare Methoden wie man nebenbei oder hauptberuflich mehr Geld verdienen kann. Das Buch is von 1996, die Techniken darin sind nur insofern veraltet, als man vermutlich heute keine "Classified Ads" mehr schalten würde.Das Kapitel über "Informationmarketing" (= selling information products) fand ich besonders interessant und ist auch heute noch realisierbar.Kann man Millionen mit seinen Ideen machen?Vielleicht...wenn man die Arbeit auch auf sich nimmt.

Fast, everything ok, the product is exactly like in the description. the right instrument to prepare yourself to succeed in the market

I recommend all of Dan Kennedy's books, but this isn't the best. It's a little bit outdated in parts (with advice like "buy and learn how to use a computer") but the basic ideas should still be sound. Personally I like his No BS Wealth Attraction book much more. Start with that one.

THANKS YOU SO MUCH !

The thing is about this book that it's not necessarily the actual ideas or examples in it even - it's the ideas and concepts they trigger when you apply them to your own situation. Some have mentioned that it is outdated but there is never anything wrong with being forced back to pre-internet to get an entirely different context or approach to something.I read one section last week; "stay alert". It is only short but it has opened up a massive, life changing idea for me which I am already making plans for.I regard this book as a catalyst which will crystalise lots of thoughts into actions - it works - honestly!Best tenner I ever spent ...
