Book Review of The Millionaire Messenger

When Brendon Burchard was 19 years old he was in a life-changing car crash. After speeding around a hairpin turn in the Dominican Republic he and his friend were catapulted into the air, and, as the car flipped, Brendon pondered three essential questions: Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter?When the car landed and to his amazement he was still alive, Brendon realized that he didn't yet have satisfying answers to those questions, but he did have an idea as to how to get them. He began the process of crafting his life story into one that would make a difference in the world, inspire others and show them how they too could share their passions with a wide audience. After some initial struggles, Brendon launched what has become a million dollar consulting, book writing, and speaking business, all based on his mission to spread his message to the world. In The Millionaire Messenger, Brendon offers a 10-step plan that will help readers develop their message, package their advice in an attractive way, gain a following, and, perhaps most importantly, make money in this effort. By following his program, ordinary people can learn to package their struggles, successes, research, or life's story into advice for others and become experts on any given topic. In the industry of people who share their advice and knowledge with the world and get paid for it, Burchard is the 'guru's guru.'
