Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book for those who are not Mathematically Inclined.......2003-05-07
I used this book for an undergrad economic stats course. The book is not based on technical concepts, that is to say, not all about the numbers. The book uses storylines to explain the statistics concepts. The exercises are helpful as well. One thing to note though, the text uses minitab extensively in the regression chapters etc when the book came with "kaddstat" for excel. Overall, I would say this book is best for those who do not enjoy reading technical mathematics (focusing on forumulas, etc). This book is more for those who are always asking "why am I learning this"..."what is the real world application of this stuff? "
Avoid!.......2002-10-05
Horrible book! I purchased this oversized book for one of my MBA classes and it provided little value. The assignments level of complexity was far greater than examples in book so I found myself reading help files for hours and hours. I was also questioning myself many times because of all the errors. Shame on Wiley for wasting trees.

Book Description
There are scores of books on real estate investing on the market today, and most give sound information and helpful advice. Yet few people have become wealthy. In The Millionaire Real Estate Mindset, Russ Whitney asks, “Why isn’t everyone rich?” and perhaps more important, “Why aren’t you rich?” What is missing in most people’s real estate strategy, Whitney says, is the millionaire real estate mindset. And, in this book, he tells readers exactly how to develop one.
Whitney explains how you can break free of the fears that hold so many people back. A key part of succeeding in real estate, Whitney claims, is a willingness to spend time educating yourself about the various techniques, options, insights, and possibilities it entails. Other professions and trades require years of education and practice before you can hope to generate significant income. Building wealth in real estate requires similar focus and dedication. He provides specific investing strategies that can work in virtually any market, whether you have cash to start, or not.
Once you have a few successes under your belt, he encourages investors to move up to larger deals. He explains the complexities of raw land investing and development as well as international real estate investing. He examines a variety of funding techniques, from no-money-down to syndications to make the wisest use of your cash. Whitney candidly discusses what can go wrong and how to anticipate and address unpleasant surprises.
From invaluable insights into personal motivation, to advice on improving one’s communication skills, strengthening relationships, and building personal financial strategies, Whitney helps readers overcome feelings of insecurity about investing and move into the market with certainty and self-assurance. With its unique focus on the psychological aspects of investing—an ingredient missing from other how-to real-estate investment guides—The Millionaire Real Estate Mindset will enable readers to break through the “poverty” mentality, take advantage of the booming real estate market, and join the ranks of the rich and superrich.
Customer Reviews:
Can't use it........2007-02-13
I bought this from Canada. I was naive enough to think the contents applied here. But it deals with US laws and real estate only. Therefore it should not have been made available to non US citizens, OR should have been labelled as "For US market only" or words to that effect. Very likely to be fine if you are a US citizen though. But if you're not American, beware! With transportation, that's over $40 wasted.
Great Real Estate book!.......2006-08-30
This is one of the most realistic and fascinating books I've ever read. Russ Whitney is presenting the millionaire mindset and how to accomplish wealth in Real Estate based on his personal life experience in a straight forward manner and very easy to understand. Great starter for beginners and intermediate in Real Estate investing in which they will like to go to the next level.
This stuff really works!! If you do what it says........2006-08-18
This book is excellent. Russ Whitney has PROVED himself. In this book he describes how you need to care about others, not just yourself when investing. You can sense his heart as he teaches you step by step to success. Follow in his footsteps and you WILL be wealthy. I have done it, and IT WORKS! Buy his book, read it, do what it says, and don't let the fears and negative people stop you, or you will regret it. I am also attending Russ's seminars, and the cost of the seminars are well worth it! One deal will pay for all of the seminars combined. It only takes 2 years to be wealthy if you follow his steps. I recommend this book, as well as all his previous books, I have read many. Don't listen to all the negative people, they only want to stop you to your success.
The Millionaire Real Estate Mindset: Mastering the Mental Skills to Build Your Fortune in Real Estate.......2006-07-21
Another masterpiece from Russ Whitney. This book not only touches the basics for the beginning real estate investor, but also offers a great deal to the experienced investor.
Explores what makes some investments rich choices while others strategies are stumbling blocks.......2006-05-26
Whether the real estate bubble bursts or not, many investors still believe it can make money during any market. If that's true, why isn't every real estate owner rich? Russ Whitney's THE MILLIONAIRE REAL ESTATE MINDSET: MASTERING THE MENTAL SKILLS TO BUILD YOUR FORTUNE IN REAL ESTATE explores what makes some investments rich choices while others strategies are stumbling blocks. With its focus on real estate, chapters cover all the basics of what builds wealth, from the myth that raw land is worthless to the reality of investing in properties which can be easily sold, developed, or turned into profitable ventures. Whitney comes with credentials: he's developed his own company and education group to become a recognized leader in real estate investing, holding seminars around the world attended by some 22,000 people. His previous MILLIONAIRE REAL ESTATE MENTOR was a best-seller: don't miss this one.

Book Description
Digital Storm is not about the internet. It is about doing business in the new century. In 1999 Lou Gerstner, Chief Executive of IBM, commented: "The dot.coms are only the fireflies before the storm." While much has been written about the fireflies, the current book focuses on the storm. More specifically, it provides insights to help companies sail through the digital storm, while exposing shortcomings in past and present concepts.
Leading companies are still licking their wounds from the early turbulences of the digital storm and unable to comprehend the ensuing lull. This book will help them to fully grasp the underlying forces that are re-shaping the way business is done.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2001-12-20
In a time where many of the rules of business are changing as fast as we can identify them, it's nice to find a book that identifies not only successes and failures, but also what's behind them. The authors use strong examples in explaining why online e-marketplaces have evolved the way they have, and they do a great job of laying the groundwork to help leaders navigate through the future innovations we're likely to see. There are a lot of B-to-B books out there, I'm recommending this book to my friends above many others I've read.
E-business lessons I have learnt - the hard way!.......2001-12-19
Having co-founded a fledgling broadband E-business in 1996, you could say I've been at the bleeding edge of E-business for an eternity. Needless to say its been like a roller coaster ride - largely fun - but so scary at times... If "experience" is what you get when you can't get what you want - I've got experience!
The fascinating thing about "Digital Storm" - is how much understanding and insight the authors provide, about planning and setting up and running an e-business - I wish I'd read it earlier.
For those thinking about committing real money to an e-business venture - or just wanting to understand how e-business works - Digital Storm is the best strategic guide - you will get for the money.
The Digital Storm.......2001-11-10
In the late 1990s, it was widely expected that the B2B space would explode, far exceeding the B2C marketplaces. It didn't happen. A great number of e-marketplaces imploded instead, unable to attract the necessary business volume. Likewise, many specialized infrastructure players are in deep trouble and will likely have to cede their dominance to the incumbent enterprise software vendors such as SAP or Oracle. Philipp Gerbert gives an excellent account of the rise of the e-marketplaces and the digital storm they encountered by their pioneering acts. Gerbert does not just show what went wrong; he also shows that the potential of the e-market places will continue to be in a networked environment, albeit a different one. This is a definite must-read for every business executive who needs to understand the pitfalls in building e-marketplaces and how to exploit their potential.
A book for turbulent times.......2001-10-18
A well written and thoughtful book which provides interesting insights. In these turbulent times, the title and materials are ese\pcecially appropriate. A must read for buisness executives in the business to busienss space.
Comprehensive look at "ebusiness".......2001-08-08
This book does a good job at providing a detailed look at the current (and future) state of e-business(B2B) landscape. It not only covers the different business models, but also the underlying technologies which make this ebusiness platforms possible.
The book is well-structured and makes it relatively easy to read. It does take a lot of effort to present complex concepts in simple manner and its evident from reading the book that the authors have really put in effort to structure the book to make it simple and engaging.
I would definately recommend this book to anybody interested in understanding the entire B2B marketplace from business and technology perspective.

Best used as a general business book, if used at all.......1999-03-16
At the end of the last chapter of the book, the authors say that 'this book just scratches the surface of the knowledge that you will want- and need- to acquire in the course of starting your newsletter business and making it grow.' That statement accurately sums up the contents of this book.
The book does a good job of skimming some of the major points involved in running any home business, but does not delve deeply into the mechanics behind newsletter publishing. It contains a lot of good, common sense advice on general business practices, but precious little on the design, production, and marketing of newsletters. The book contains ample space and sample worksheets for organizing your own thoughts with regard to writing a good newsletter, sample worksheets for start-up costs, accounting, and listing areas forfurther research on one's own. It also contains a fairly good list of resources the reader can turn to for further information on specific aspects business.
However, none of this makes up for the utter lack of good information on the creation, design, organization, and production of a quality newsletter to be found in this book. Only one useful line was devoted to choosing suitable desk top publishing software, computer hardware information was too general to the point of being useless, and absolutely no information or examples were given on newsletter formats, conventions, and types were given. Other than some of the business aspects (tax issues for subscription newsletters was blatantly omitted) behind running a newletter publishing business, everything was discussed in general terms. Moreover, any person of average intelligence already knows much of the information presented.
For those of you out there who are looking to start a business of some sort, think that newsletters are an easy way to make money, and know absolutely nothing about business, then by all means buy this book. Though the book had a (very) few good pieces of information, there was not enough to justify its list price. More advanced readers should skip this tome and buy Barbara Fanson's excellent guide to newsletter publishing.
Not worth the paper it was printed on.......1998-11-11
It was obvious that this book contained quite a bit of boilerplate copy from another, or even possibly several, "home-based business" topic(s). In fact, I found "how-to" references that were not applicable to newsletter publishing in any way, shape or form, which indicated an extremely sloppy editing and proofing job. It was apparent that their approach was a serial publishing concept, in which they took the framework of the "how-to" and superimposed a variety of topics onto it, but what a rush job. . .and, in essence, a snow job.

Customer Reviews:
not very detailed.......2007-06-18
this book fails to offer any advice for following up after a first interview (beyond the standard thank you letter). Whether to write, call, etc.
Obvious stuff, but not everyone gets it right.......2005-09-16
I am an Executive Search Consultant, a Headhunter, and I found this book to be a simple and useful checklist, especially for more senior hires. It is so easy to forget that the competition out there really is very high for jobs, and the more senior you are, the more you have to make sure your career management strategy is a very deliberatly executed and well thought out one. No one has time to read verbose books, so this one is light, and easy to remember and to refer to later.
I admit that it covers the basics, but if you get those right, then you have a strong foundation on which to build. The book is a good start.
Outstanding Roadmap for Making a Career Change .......2005-05-06

His advice is both timeless and insightful while punctuated with sometimes comical real life examples of how not following it can be disasterous to ones efforts to move up to the next level. It is definitely a must read for individuals looking to make a positve change in their corporate lives.
Straight Forward Facts on the Executive Job Search.......2005-01-29
This book is a must have for Sr. Level executives and managers who have been out of the job search market in recent years. Bob does a fantastic job putting things in perspective and providing ingenuous insight and guidance on the entire process.
An Immediately Actionable Guide.......2003-10-15
Melancon has written a very readable and actionable guide for anyone who is in the job market or plans on advancing their career. As one who has recently been in a personal job search, The Secrets of Executive Search helped me to focus on what is important and develop an actionable plan tailored to my needs. Within weeks I saw a noticable improvement in the quality and quantity of the follow-up inquiries I was receiving.
The Secrets of Executive Search breaks down the search process into each of its component pieces from resume development to offer negotiations, offering the reader constructive help in each area while providing light anecdotal stories from Melancon's experiences as an executive recruiter. Did you know resumes should be organized differently on the Web and in databases for greater effectiveness? The book is chalked full of the small and large tips like this that would come from a recruiting professional with years of experience.
This book is required reading for anyone serious about marketing themself. It's a reference you'll go back to time and time again.

Something is wrong.......2004-01-21
On the Amazon site it states that this issue is 78 pages long...but it was only 50 pages long!!! Price is pretty steep for 50 page booklet. Some useful information. It states that is was revised in 2003 but the pages of this edition are marked 2002 and the cover is slightly different than advertised. Yes the ISN # matches...I am writing to the company Wet Feet to inquire why there is a discrepancy in length.
The real deal.......2003-04-10
I read this guide and felt encouraged that my initial thoughts of applying at Booz were on target. It's where I want to be, and I got that after going through all of the research and analysis poured into this guide. I even passed it by a friend who's worked at Booz, and he confirmed that it's solid stuff. Thanks for the advice and for doing all the legwork for me. I'm ready to go in there and wow them with my "insider" knowledge of the company. I've also bought your Ace Your Case series and feel like i can take on any case they throw at me during the interviews.
Great for interview preparation.......2003-03-05
I was really suprised at how thorough this guide turned out to be. It allowed me to really target where I could fit in with the company and give intelligent responses during the interview. I would strongly recommend this guide to anyone preparing to interview at Booz Allen.
