Product Description
In How Come That Idiot s Rich and I m Not? bestselling author Robert Shemin reveals for the first time the inner-circle secrets of the mega-wealthy. Have you ever wondered why some people attract wealth while others stay financially trapped and in debt? The key is wealth-friendly, upside-down thinking. Stick with all the old moneymaking rules and stay broke. Break them and get rich. This is the audiobook that shows you how.
Whether you ve been trying to get rich but haven t quite made it yet, or just need the confidence to dream big, this is the book for you. As experienced as Shemin is at showing high-net-worth individuals how to get richer, his real love is helping self-described financial disasters earn millions. And he uses his own odds-defying story to illustrate the outside-the-box thinking that gets the job done.
Here, you ll learn which three assets you must own to become a Rich Idiot and how to obtain them with little or no money of your own. You ll learn why Rich Idiots outearn almost all the so-called wealth experts and how you can, too. Above all, you ll learn how doing just one thing a day will bring you to your big goal.
Robert Shemin shows us in a fun, witty way how going against the grain is, in fact, the surest way to gain. Spend just a few minutes with Robert and his Rich Idiot friends and you ll be convinced that if they could do it, I can do it.

 Check Your Negativity at the Door July 11, 2008

Goodness gracious - I'm sitting down to write a glowing review of Robert Shemin's new book and I see so many negative reviews that I almost got discouraged.
Check your negativity at the door, people. Does Robert's book include "old" information - absolutely. More often than not we need to be "reminded", not taught. The question isn't whether you've "heard" this stuff before; it's whether you're living it in your life.
I LOVED this book and I thought its lessons about UNLEARNING the lessons that you've internalized and leveraging other people's ideas, experience, and money are RIGHT ON!
Do yourself a favor - ignore the critics and buy the book - you'll be glad you did!

and don't buy this book. It's awful. It's a rehash of stuff you've heard before, with some simple-minded "real life examples" thrown in to support his claims. I especially love the story he tells in the section about "giving", where he had a friend come and ask him for money. So Robert writes him a check and his friend says "double that amount". So Robert writes another one and the guy tears it up and says "double it again". So Robert does, but begs the guy not to deposit it because he doesn't have enough money to cover the check. The guy deposits it (some friend, huh?) anyway but what happens? Magically money appears in Robert's account!!! Some guy he loaned money to 7 years ago pays him back at the exact same time the charitable check clears. And another check, "a huge check", arrived that same day!! If there's a lesson in there, I missed it. Robert also downplays the idea of sitting around and waiting for a miracle, such as getting an inheritance or hitting the lottery, to happen. While I do agree with this, I started to think that perhaps if I wrote a check to charity for far more than I could cover, like Robert did, that perhaps I WOULD win the lottery, just like Robert got his checks. Ya never know.
Save your money. Skip this junk.
Rich Idiots don't buy books like this. June 29, 2008

First of all, I have to tell you that I do appreciate some of his other work.
With that being said, this is one of the biggest pieces of S***! I've read since Rich Dad, Poor Dad. These ideas have been played out in so many books, and the real estate section in this book? Are you even remotely serious? None of these techniques would work in the current housing market, a lender would hang up on you, people aren't handing their houses over, even in a foreclosure market, banks aren't selling that many shorts. The rest of the book is simple common sense, if you don't know your upside down when you invest in a 3-5 percent fund and you pay 21 percent on a credit card then this book would be great to hit yourself in the head with.
Don't waste your money, I did.
It's really that bad as reviews says. Really June 27, 2008

I am one of the positive reviews here in amazon, I checked my reviews recently, I seems tend to give 5 starts to everyone. But here - oh, my! It's not just useless book for those of us who search this book - it's actually dangerous.
Now, let me give you just 1 of advices the author will give you in this book.
"Are you poor?" Sheesh! FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT (exact quote from book). Pretend rich if you are not. and then next 15 pages HOW TO advices, how to fool your neighbor that you are rich.
Hallllo???? Who do you want to fool? Yourself? OK, anyone will scratch his last dollars to buy 3 Cuban Cigars to smoke them (in nearest buss stop to work, ya?) to shine next to street cleaner, but next what?
I suggest buy any of those books:
Classical: Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Forever one Classical: Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised
Very inspiring, well written and real advices (some for sure, if not all): The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
And finally a good one also: No B.S. Wealth Attraction for Entrepreneurs (No B.S.)
