Review
"STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS is not a book written on theory it is written on reality! I can categorically make this statement because of my decades of actual financial planning experience. My files are overflowing with substantial numbers of clients that have already benefited from many of the facts and ideas expressed in Marian's book. I feel can speak authoritatively because I have been a full-time financial planner for almost 30 years, a Certified Financial Planner for over 20 years, securities licensed for over 15 years and have written four personal finance books. Please believe me when I say, "This book is a MUST READ". - James P. Kraiss, CFP and Author, "Multiply Your Money, Minimize Your Risk" --Directly from James P. Kraiss

From the Author
What if I told you I'm about to share inside secrets that, before now, only the very wealthy among us knew? What if I told you these secrets will absolutely transform you into a millionaire? What if this proven system could be set up so that you could just implement it once to be wealthy? Then, what if I showed you how you could recycle it every three or five years to double or even triple your wealth? What if I said it doesn't involve effort, concentration or budgeting? Would you want to know more? This book should carry a warning. "What you are about to read is contrary to what you've always been taught and what you may have previously believed about how money works."

Most likely, the largest chunk of your present belief system about wealth has probably been built upon information you received from unwealthy sources. What you've been taught or have heard about protecting, borrowing and accumulating money was presented to you by people without real wealth of their own. Isn't that true for you?

STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS reveals a revolutionary, yet easy, system for building riches that leaves most of the other plans out there in the dust. It simply shows you the secrets of how to take the assets you already have, lock-in their safety and turbo-charge them the way the wealthy do. This solution can work for just about anybody - if you spend less than you make - no matter your wealth or income level.

I'm confident you'll find the revolutionary ideas presented will surprise you, possibly amaze you and, hopefully, benefit and liberate you. I've chosen to concentrate on the ideas and theories that can make you a fortune, rather than the technical and legal ramifications involved in the individual application of some of the products discussed. This will allow you, the reader, quicker access to information about the core concepts behind these wealth-optimizing approaches.

As you go through each chapter, please keep an open mind. While these strategies are different, they're still very conservative and safe methods for assured wealth building. Most financial professionals are unaware of these strategies... but then, most financial professionals aren't wealthy.

Between 2000 and 2003, millions of average investors lost as much as nine trillion dollars, much of which was in their retirement accounts invested in the market via stocks or mutual funds. I'll show you how the convergence of three unrelated events in this fresh millennium have created a new financial solution that could have protected and prevented those losses.

As our aging society moves toward retirement, we need to shield our assets from loss, boost our wealth, look forward to self-sufficient older years beyond the age of 100, living with security and peace of mind. We need a hero and the H.E.R.O. Solution may just be the answer.

Customer Reviews

Looking for answers
I, too, was in awe after reading this book. The ideas are presented in a simple, easy to understand way, and it seems to me to be very logical. I'm no financial genius, rather a former math teacher and the numbers seem to work on paper. But, really, after the awe has worn off and reality hits, what's the catch? This seems too easy. If this idea has been in existance for several years, then why hasn't it caught on with the "masses?" Why don't more financial advisors recommend this? Is there something I'm missing or does it really work that simply and just nobody knows about it? Somebody....give me the real scoop!

Nicely written primer for this strategy
Having read most of the titles on this strategy, I find this to be the easiest to read and digest. The strategy outlined in the book will produce more wealth for folks. The financial products suggested (mortgages, cash value life insurance, municipal bonds) are very useful products, that like all products generates profits and fees for some. The typical financial planning strategies (invest in mutual funds, pay down mortgage, etc.) given to the masses have been demonstrated to be failing most folks. Although this typical advice has been doled out for two generations now, the median retirement account balance for those nearing retirement age (55-64 years old) is $83,000. Until the financial planning community takes responsibility for this failure, instead of attacking those who dare to think outside of the propaganda box they have created, I for one will not listen to a thing they have to say.

And yes, I have applied this strategy for several years now and see it increasing my wealth every year.

Fun, easy read
I am skeptical of `get rich quick schemes' and I was hesitant to read this book. I read the book anyway and then did my own due diligence to find out if what the author was saying was actually the truth or not. After careful consideration and research of my own, I find that this book is accurate in its concepts. I have now personally implemented the strategies found in the book and I am now feeling more security with my finances. Before reading this book, I had no idea that I was heading down the financial road with one foot on the gas pedal and one foot on the brake. As the book put it, I am now heading down the road with "Real Wealth Vision".
I highly recommend this book!
