The author explores the eight steps these millionaires had all had in common, such as "invest only in assets that always grow over time - which means stocks or mutual funds", "accumulate steady gains year after year" or "take advantage of everything the government allows". Mr. Carlson demonstrates that nothing exotic is required to become wealthy.Drawing on real-world success stories, Eight Steps To Seven Figures offers you the best strategies adopted by millionaires.
