Don’t buy “One Minute Millionaire” until you read this. Does anyone out there actually believe that they can become a millionaire in one minute?

If you are familiar with who the authors of “One Minute Millionaire”, you have to ask yourself why these professionals are writing this book. Mark Victor Hansen is best known for his “Chicken Soup For The Soul” series of books. He’s a multi-millionaire. Robert Allen made his millions with a real estate book called “Nothing Down” which explains how to use other people’s money to make a fortune in real estate. Allen is a character, he regularly puts outrageous challenges out to the media like, “Sit me at the keyboard of any computer in the world with access to the Internet, and in just 24 hours I’ll earn at least $24,000.00 in cash.” Ok, so he actually delivers on his promises, (he made over $94,000.00 in 24 hrs).

So these guys are multi-millionaires, so why don’t they just go sit on a yacht and live the life of the rich and shameless? According to their book it’s because they have a new goal. Their goal is to create 1,000,000 millionaires. I don’t know about you, but if someone wants to make me a millionaire I am not going to stand in their way.

Book Review: Starting Your Mystery Shopping Business

This 271 page manual contains all the information, strategies, and materials needed to start a mystery shopping business in your community. It addresses marketing, selecting and preparing contract shoppers, organizing work, evaluating shoppers’ reports, designing report formats, producing statistical reports, pricing your services, and ethical issues. The CD-rom that accompanies our manual contains samples of blank forms for many different types of businesses, forms to track the work in your office, and samples of contracts for shoppers.

From the Publisher
Starting Your Mystery Shopping Business is now available in the third edition! We have been working hard over the past several months to get the book written and published and to produce the CD. Every time we write a new edition, I am amazed at how much and how quickly our industry is changing.
Our new edition includes plenty of information about the introduction of computer technology. In this new edition, we have included information about how the Internet has impacted the operation of a shopping company. It’s hard to imagine running this kind of business without e-mail, access to websites that provide information about shoppers, and a company website.

Owners of shopping companies have formed associations to strengthen the industry. Both groups sponsor educational activities and promote networking.

Nevertheless, while the industry has grown and changed, the qualities needed by the entrepreneur getting ready to start his or her own business remain the same. You will need courage to market your service aggressively and make your initial sales calls. You will need to read and study this material, but remain flexible enough to adapt some of it to your customers and your locale. Especially in the first year, you will need to have faith in your idea and keep plugging through the months of foundation building. Starting a business will probably be one of the hardest things you do in life, but it will also be one of the most rewarding.

Book Review: How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay: Kick-Start Your Home-Based Business in Just Thirty Days

The eBay phenomenon may be the greatest opportunity for home-based entrepreneurs ever. With close to zero start-up costs and a worldwide customer base of 150 million people, the little guy can now compete on a level playing field with huge corporations. Although TV infomercials and eBay itself are teeming with hucksters trying to sell advice, wholesale lists, and auction software to help you jump on the eBay bandwagon, 99 percent of it is junk and unnecessary. In October 2001 Ginsberg had a modest business selling high-end pool tables and tried selling one on eBay on a dare. For him, the rest is history. He now runs a million-dollar eBay business and ships pool tables all over the country. This quick read is a pretty straightforward primer on the do’s and don’ts of starting your own (serious) eBay business. Since Ginsberg seems to hold back somewhat on the finer points of advanced online business management and product sourcing, you will have to do some of your own homework, but there is plenty here to get you started.
