Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Midas Touch Intl
Trump Donald J · 2012
48/100
👎 Skip It
Two high-profile names, one serviceable framework — but Kirkus's note about political proselytizing is fair, and the endorsement of multi-level marketing is a genuine red flag that undercuts the book's credibility. The anecdotes are engaging if you're already a fan of either author, but there's more self-congratulation here than transferable wisdom. Aspiring entrepreneurs are better served by books that haven't been flagged for promoting pyramid-scheme tactics.
