Excellent for executives below C level.......2004-08-26
This book is full of information and negotiating strategies that are very useful for more junior executives, where hiring an employment attorney is probably not necessary. It enables you to do a decent job of getting the most you can without going over the line. It is especially good at giving practical examples that can help you make tradeoffs that create win-win outcomes (most negotiating books have this concept but are too abstract). Finally, it is very helpful in making sure you are protected if things don't work out. I bought some of the other recommended books in this category, but they are much too basic if you are an executive.
Its worth the money.......2004-05-18
I bought this book recently when I was changing my job. I was desperate to take the new job and would have taken the job even without negotiation.This book provided me the strategies to increase my salary by almost 10%. The book has several good examples ( that fit very well atleast to my situation ).
A must read even if you are not changing jobs.
Excellent book on negotiating.......2003-02-11
Excellent book - The author's approach is very logical and he clearly has the experience to validate his comments. He uses sound principles, excellent examples and memorable quotes. I would definately recommend this book - an excellent book which is hard to put down.
This is a great read!.......2002-11-16
I actually took Prof. Miller for a course in negotiating and he was excellent. If you're not lucky enough to get to see him in person, read this book. He was on the management side and knows what they're thinking. If you incorporate some of these techniques in negotiating your next salary you will come out ahead. Also, most of these techniques can be applied to any negotiation. Read it, you will not be disappointed.
Practical and useful guide.......2002-04-07
Great book. This book covered everything I needed to know to get a great salary and perks that I would not have thought to ask for. It was very readable and the advice was easy to use. I would recommend this book to anyone changing jobs.

Master Your Money .......2005-10-06
I gave this book to my son who is graduating from college. I think it's good advice to have early in your financial decision making life.
Financial Management as easy as 1-2-3.......2001-12-24
The first time I saw the cover of Master Your Money (in Nairobi, Kenya, at my fiancee's place of work), my heart went cold. Financial management was a topic that scared me. I skimmed through the book and, for some reason, I started reading the first chapter. Before I knew it I had borrowed the book, read and reread it, made notes and outlined my financial present and future.
I presume the three key questions did the trick: Will I have enough money? How much is enough? Or possibly the graphic on the overall financial goals gave me a simple and clear picture on personal financial management. These clarified the issue on managing money in such a simple, easy way that I saw myself achieving my financial and non-financial goals. I had determined early in life to keep out of debt and the lessons I learned in MYM reinforced my resolution.
Needless to say, I recommended the book to friends, nay, I bought the remaining copies from the local bookstore that had them and ordered for some ten more to distribute to friends. They were excited and agreed with me that this was the book! I want more copies from friends. Five stars did you say? I would say it's a 6-Star book. It is excellent.
Take action - and make a financial change!.......2000-08-18
My husband and I worked through this book together. It is straight forward and really makes you think through the concepts of managing your money and resources. The book challenged us to take a step of faith and follow the biblical principles of money management. By applying those principles we were debt free (except for our house!) within one year - plus we actually saved money. We opened a general savings account, repair account and a Christmas account. I encourage anyone struggling with debt, or poor money management to read this book.
It's the powerful, inner motivation... You can do it!.......1999-01-15
Many books on financial planning focus on "how to do it." But for most people, those "how to" stuff remain as dreams that are not implemented. Ron Blue and Chuck Swindoll explain the inner problem why we get stuck in financial hole, dealing with the roots of financial problems that are true to human beings. Then they lead their readers to a series of life-transforming actions that are applicable immediately. These heart-and-mind actions will translate into powerful, inner motivations that will energize you to apply the practical, well-researched, up-to-date, realistic "how tos" they provide in this book. I use this book in my work as a leadership development consultant. My wife, an investment funds adviser, includes this book in her seminars and personal financial counselling.
Book Description
Finally...a financial planning book that presents concepts in an easy-to-understand format. Do you know if you have enough? Do you know how much is enough? If you can't answer these questions, The New Master Your Money is for you. Ron Blue extracts principles from God's Word and applies them to your financial portfolio. Ron's professional experience in financial planning will be an asset to you and to your family for generations to come. This new edition includes important updates and new content you won't want to miss.
Customer Reviews:
Nothing new.......2006-06-28
I didn't really gain anything from this book. Maybe because I read other books on financial planning already. The charts are boring and confusing. The one star is for the chapter on estate planning. That is the largest and most useful chapter in the book. If you're interested in this, then you should read this book, but for one chapter...eh, get it from the library.
Amazon has wrong author on review page 4/8/06.......2006-04-08
First, Amazon on its review page is wrong. The book is by Ron Blue. The forward to the book is by Swindoll.
The book is easy to follow with easy how-to worksheets/tables to apply to your own situation.
Master Your Money.......2006-02-25
I liked this book because it helps me to understand in laymans terms what I really need to do in order to save money. I've tried several of the ideas mentioned in the book with POSITIVE results.
Book Description
Current research tells us today's kids and teens don't know how to budget or spend wisely. They have purchasing influence, but they aren't prepared to handle money. Parents presume that their kids "get it" or that they are learning these skills in school. Yet kids still need parental guidance on how to manage money. Your Kids Can Master Their Money reveals key traits of financially wise people and gives parents tools to instill those traits in their children.
Customer Reviews:
great family guide to finances.......2007-09-26
this book has so many great ideas for teaching kids how to manage money at an early age. one idea to encourage children to give was to tell them you will match their giving amount, just like real jobs do. it also focuses on being thankful for our blessings, which encourages children to bless others who are less fortunate. they also show how to give a visual example (using plastic people and candies)of how blessed our nation is compared to other countries, based on population and resources per person.they also teach kids to tithe right from the start, which is definitely the way to go; then they don't know any different. this is a must-have.

Master Your Money Type: Using Your Financial Personality to Create a Life of Wealth and Freedom.......2007-10-10
I found this book inspirational. I like all the examples that he gives, and if given a chance I would travel miles to hear Jordan Goodman speak.
It Hits Home With Me: Proud to Be a Squirrel.......2006-08-07
After having read Paul B. Farrell's The Millionaire Code, and the incredible career book Do What You Are, I was naturally attracted to this book, which makes use of personality typing to assist people in attaining financial health and wealth. Goodman focuses on the emotional dimension to money. Most of us do not realize how our emotions dictate our spending and saving habits, and how past experiences mold and shape our present behavior and especially, our financial decision-making abilities.
Although not as clinical as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, with its often intimidating (and somewhat ambiguous) terminology, elements of this psychological technique are clearly present in this text. Goodman uses such terms as Striver, Ostrich, Coaster Debt Desperado and Squirrel to describe the various types of money personalities that people have, all of which are based on the emotional attitudes we all too often attach to money.
Goodman does an excellent job of laying out the emotional dimension to money, and builds upon this to offer practical advice. He does not seek to alter what he believes are basic personality types; rather, he takes them as given (making no value judgments about the types) and immutable, lays out their strengths and weaknesses, and shows how one can use his or her type to one's financial advantage. He also allows for the fact that a reader can possess elements of several different types. Thus, it would be worth one's time and effort to read the entire book. Additionally, a lot of good, solid financial information is presented in each chapter, and one would do well to lift things of use here and there from the book.
The book possesses a strong psychological basis, and points the reader to further sources of information on both a financial and psychological level specific to his or her type. On a personal note, I was kind of let down with the advice given to squirrels (of which I am one), which basically amounts to the purchase of more insurance and migration to higher return but higher risk investments, but then, this information and advice is consistent with the fears traditionally associated with this personality type. I am a bit more knowledgeable and financially sophisticated than most squirrels, but at the same time am a bit more risk adverse than I reasonably should be, given my choice of career (civil service) and investment strategy (bonds and low-beta stocks like food and utility companies) in the face of my above average educational and professional achievements. So, on the whole, I would say that the author described me and my financial hopes, fears and worries very, very well. Incidentally, I was already in the process of doing many of the things that he recommended for my personality type, so reading this book not only confirmed the soundness of my approach, but also gave me a lot of support and encouragement to continue doing what I have been doing.
I highly recommend the book, as it is a light, fast and accessible read. In sum, the book really hit home with me, and I am proud to be a squirrel.
Book Review.......2006-03-07
The book was a quick-read and was very informative. I found my money type and will take the author's advise on how to live with my "Money type". Thank you Mr. Goodman
Lively, Insightful, and Action-Oriented.......2006-03-03
I have heard Jordan Goodman on call-in radio shows many, many times (and I've also heard him give keynotes at several conferences), and what comes through loud and clear is that he is an exceptionally well-informed personal finance expert passionately devoted to helping people do better with their money. You discover the same thing when you pick up his books: his high standards, encyclopedic knowledge, and practical emphasis on taking action permeate every book he has written.
If you want a thorough personal finance education or a great reference book, get Goodman's Everyone's Money Book, his comprehensive guide to every aspect of personal finance. If you want to avoid investing in the next Wall Street scandal, get his Reading Between the Lies. If you want to understand the jargon spouted by your broker or the Wall Street Journal, get the dictionary of over 5000 terms that he co-authored with John Downes. (You should also check out, if needed, his excellent Everyone's Money Book series that devotes individual books to the topics of credit; real estate; retirement planning; college financing; financial planning; and stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.)
And now, if, like me, you want psychological insight into your style of managing money -- and what you can do to capitalize on your style's strengths and avoid its pitfalls -- get Master Your Money Type. It's lively, it's insightful, it's chockful of great anecdotes, and, typical of Goodman's practical, down-to-earth approach, it provides you with resources that will help you save and make money. (I bought my car using a car-buying service I learned about from him, and I saved thousands over my best-negotiated deal.)
As you can see from one of the other reviews I have written, I am big on finding experts who can give me in-depth assistance for the price of a book, and the powerful new insights this book offers are definitely worth the expenditure.
Review the content (look inside) first !.......2006-02-13
Wish I had reviewed the content of this book BEFORE buying it. The six categories have no empirical basis and the author evidently has no experience actually advising anyone. He is a former reporter for Money magazine.
His other book, Everyone's Money Book was co-authored with Sonny Bloch (see url link below for article about Bloch) who I since learned landed in prison for his on air crookery. So, lot's to question about this author's judgment and expertise!

Puts money in the proper perspective........1997-08-04
The first six chapters of this book shows the true purpose of money. Very very few people cry out on their death bed that they should have worked more and earned more money. Why is that? These 6 chapters explain the TRUE PURPOSE of money. Don't wait until you're on your deathbed to find out! The remaining chapters assist you in working out your financial situation.
Ron Blue brings to light the burden of debt, inflation - good or bad?, why invest?, what should I invest in?, 4 criterion of when to go into debt (debt itself is not bad, but most of the time the REASON for going into debt is bad).
This book is the first book that explained to me not just WHAT I should do with my money, but WHY I should do it!
