Seven Years to Seven Figures - Book Review

An Educational and Informative Book!

“Seven Years to Seven Figures” by Michael Masterson is a wonderful book for those starting their career because the main message is delivered with an encouraging and uplifting tone.  The author says that any one of us can be successful in the work arena but each case is different and there is no one-size-fits-all rule for becoming financially wealthy.  However; he does suggest that entrepreneurialism, good investments in the stock market and real estate are three solid factors that have contributed to a great financial increase for some individuals but again these three factors don’t hold true for every case.  In this book, both sides of the coin are examined such as being an employee vs. being your own boss.  Michael strongly recommends entrepreneurialism and I would honestly have to agree being a small business owner.  This book is a great starting point which asks you to question, research and continue developing your professional goals.  After listening to this book, I honestly felt more on track and was happy to hear that I’ve been doing everything right with my company’s plan of action.  The author strongly stresses the importance of priorities for your business and life.  With priorities sometimes comes sacrifice but if you want to be a successful business owner; there is a small price to pay to obtain the bigger prize in the future.  It was a delight to hear a professional in the finance field saying the same things I’ve been saying for years.  Should your company produce lots of little things for small prices or should your company hold out for the larger and more money-making products?  Agreeing with the author, sometimes the risky part of being self-employed is the doubt and worry that your idea, product or service will be successful.  However, once you get over the doubt and worry and actually do sell that product; then you will see how much more successful you are being as an employer vs. an employee.  It’s a very difficult question for most people and by and large most people aren’t willing to give up steady income to make a risky move in the stock market or be their own boss.  However, each person’s case is unique and no matter where you are starting, in the middle or retiring; I would highly recommend this book for those looking to succeed in the financial arena.  Hopefully my book review has helped you see if this book is for you or not.  If you have any questions or comments about this review or related material, feel free to contact me, the Director, at the Cultural Arts Center of St. Louis, LLC at cacstlouis@gmail.com.  Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
