Review - Roger Hamilton - Wink and Grow Rich

Oh, this is a great little creating wealth fable. This is the second time I have listened to it. It is the third such story that I've read or heard in the last week or so. Roger Hamilton is pretty popular amongst many of the people that I've been fortunate enough to study with and follow over recent months. His Wealth Dynamics personal survey is good stuff too. Available here.

The basic premise is that you follow a 9 year old as he asks other people where he lives about how they became wealthy. He has to battle against his father's ideas and thoughts, as do many of us. You follow him as he begins to understand and grow his vision and what it really takes to become wealthy.

As the introduction states. The story is behind the actually story. I didn't hear any language patterns or embedded commands, yet the metaphor is great. I learnt more from this second listening than I did from the first time that is for sure. I wonder what will happen if I listen to it another 5 or 10 times, is is subtly implied.

This perfectly compliments the other stories that I've heard recently. It details things that the others miss or skim over i.e. leverage, working for money and investing your time for money, missed opportunity.

One thing I really liked was that the hard copy book actually contains drawings and pictures. Roger et al. have put the images on-line for you to actually view. You don't have to listen to a description and guess about the diagram or drawing as you often do with other books. Some of the pictures are quite detailed and require several viewings to fully grasp what has been drawn and is being said by the pictures.

This little story can be heard very quickly, yet the information is potentially powerful, if you hear the story behind the story.

This is why you'll most likely have to listen to or read it multiple times. I will certainly have to. I'm sure I missed one or two pieces.

The World is waiting, anticipating..

If there are another fables worth checking out, let me know please, thanks.

Happy Travels

p.s. A few days later, I was walking in the sunshine, trying to figure something out, when I heard myself say, ask a better question. Just as is stated in the above book.
