Book Review: Mentored by a Millionaire – Steven Scott
I think I came across Steven K Scott’s “Mentored by a Millionaire – Master Strategies of the Super Rich” a couple months ago, maybe around January.
Why am I writing the review now? I think it’s worth it!
“Mentored by a Millionaire” is by far one of the BEST personal development programs I’ve listened to or read about. P.S. I did listen to the CD so this is a review of the audio program by Nightingale Conant.
Anyhow, here’s the good things about the book:
1. Steven Scott definitely knows how to get the point across. I loved his use of the Porsche analogy. Definitely thought out and used effectively. He also talks about his communication method in one of the lessons.
2. Ready to use Strategies - If you’ve read my ebook, you know I like action steps that get things done. Theory is good for some thought provoking deep thinking but I like stuff that helps me get things done where the rubber hits the road. The program introduces the theory and then gives you some strategies to implement right now. That alone sets it apart from a lot of personal development products.
Here’s what I like about the program….
1. Challenging yourself – I’m big on this. I set goals that stretch me – not just a little but quite a bit. It could be my personality but I love a challenge especially when it seems impossible at first.
You’ve heard those jokes about engineers haven’t you?
The fastest way to get an engineer to solve a problem is to declare that the problem is unsolvable. No engineer can walk away from an unsolvable problem until it’s solved. No illness or distraction is sufficient to get the engineer off the case. These types of challenges quickly become personal — a battle between the engineer and the laws of nature.
But, I don’t think it’s just about engineers, in fact, I know engineers who hate challenges. I think it’s more dependant on your personality than your profession. By the way, I don’t think either way is right or wrong, they are both probably right…but challenging myself is definitely something that works for me.
Find out what works for you and put it to work. 
2. Pretty good explanation of life skills – I liked the fact that each skill had a section of it’s own with tips to develop it. The book was definitely well planned out. There are also exercises for you to do at specific points – another good thing. Listening to something can be motivational but doesn’t change much if you don’t act on it. So, even little actions are good.
For those of you who struggle with memory, there’s a memory exercise to help you remember 20 random objects easily as well.
Then, there are more life changing exercises like finding the most important areas of your life so you can develop all of them at once.
3. The dream conversion process – This one is an important part of the program very well thought out as well. It’s aimed at helping you take your dreams and take it all the way to what you’re going to do right now to get to your dreams. I can’t emphasize the importance of this thing enough.
My Recommendations:
If you’re looking for something to listen to, get this program. It may just change your life and point you in the right direction. I love it. I listen to various parts of it on a regular basis – always something valuable to pick up.
This one will be a 11/10.
