Consumerism Commentary: Review: The Maui Millionaires by David Finkel and Diane Kennedy

  • LAMoneyGuy · 2 years ago
    Diane Kennedy has co-authored a number of Robert Kiyosaki books. So, it comes as not surprise that the book follows Kiyosaki's formula (change mindset, dream big, upsell reader...)

    I caught that Kiyodaki connection too, I've read several of his books.

    According to some quick calculations, my R-Score (TM) is negative infinity. Wheeee!

    I flipped through this book at Barnes and Nobles. I didn't spend much time on it, basically looking for the meat and potatos to see it it had any worth. I can to the same basic conclusion that Flexo reported. I would venture to say that this book was even worse than Kiyosaki's. Selling dreams, one retreat at a time...

    I have to tell you, this book does not sound promising. Yikes. I know now not to go out of my way to buy it or anything...

    I WOULD LIKE TO BUY MAUI MILLIONAIRES BOOK BUT MY PROBLEM THAT I DO NOT HAVE POST BOX.

    IS IT THIS VALUABLE BOOK AVAILABLE AS EBOOK WHICH TO MANY PEOPLE IT IS ESSEY TO DOWN LOAD.

    THIS EBOOK WILL INCREASE YOUR SALE AND WILL ATTRACT MANY TO BUY WHEN THEY ARE IN WANT.

    BECAUSE WHEN YOU WANT THINGS YOU WANT IT HURRY BUT IF YOU NEED YOU WANT IT BUT LITTLE HAZZITATE.

    YOURS

    i went to a peter conti ( he wrote a book with david finkle) seminar on commercial investing.

    waste of money and time. huge upsell to his $6k bootcamp and $15k mentorship programs.

    thats the way to make real money. by selling education and mentorship programs!

    I can to the same basic conclusion that Flexo reported,A major reason Maui Millionaires desire to increase their personal wealth is to have more to give away. What I really like is the authors’ ability to speak about responsibility to give back to the community without evoking religion-based beliefs.

    I also went to these clown's seminar's (in denver) and had actually signed up for a 1 year mentorship program. The most valuable part wasn't even provided by Finkle and Conti, it was the community of people that helped each other out by responding to posts and letting everyone know what has and has not worked for them. At the conference (this is not an exageration) they pushed the $30k trip to Maui for 3 days straight and the "high point" was when they finally "let everyone in" on the secret conference in Maui and said there were only 5 spots left!!!! and that they were conducting "interviews" to see if you were right for the group because "we won't let just anyone in." the interviews were to see if you had $30,000. They also announced that they would take a combination of "different credit cards, cash, checks, bonds, stock certificates, equity in property at 40% of it's current value and 10% of the cost could be in the form of a promisary note if secured by your property at 20% interest to incent you to pay it off quickly" because they "weren't interested in putting you in debt." People were doing all of these things, and I am not kidding you, PUSHING each other out of the way to sign up. They were also taking 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposits on the next year's event. This is disgusting and appalling behavior. If these guys know the secrets why are they wasting their time telling others how to do it 40 weeks out of the year?

    As a single mom who is looking for a way to secure her children's future (not to mention her own) and has a dream of one day having a Maui beachfront estate (which would require millionaire status to be sure), the title "Maui Millionaire" held great appeal to me. After reading the review and posts, I think everyone would do better buying a really old, but jewel of a book, The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz, and creating their own Mastermind group locally, using the $30K they would have spent on the seminar to fund their business ventures.
