Boom! adopts the high-energy style of the author, Emma Wimhurst. It presents solid advice to business owners in a lively way but may leave them breathless.

Emma Wimhurst has created, run and sold her own businesses. She now works as a business mentor and has the lively and energetic delivery of the motivational speaker. This comes through in Boom! – the title rather gives away the style of the book. The writing style especially in the opening section is rapid-fire and non-stop which many will find inspiring. However, some would-be readers may find it irritating and the rather rah-rah style of the opening chapters may put them off. Browsing the introduction should not discourage the reader as Boom! Settles down when it gets in to the real content.

The Boom! Mindset

Felix Dennis made himself seriously rich and he shares his thoughts on wealth and making money. It is more about the philosophy and attitude to making money rather than the detail.

In his best seller How to Get Rich Felix Dennis was discouraging to all but the most committed from trying to get seriously rich. His view was, and still is, that making money requires an almost pathological need to get rich rather than a wish or a vague desire to be wealthy. He suggests that few people really have that drive and others for a variety of reasons should pursue other directions in life.

Provides Guidance and Direction on Wealth Creation

In his new book 88 The Narrow Road Dennis is more supportive of those seeking wealth. However the points about the need for drive, energy and health from How to Get Rich are reiterated. He also repeats his assertion that making money is about effective execution rather than a “big idea”.

Felix Dennis Did and He Explains How to Become Wealthy

Felix Dennis suggests anyone who has a genuine compulsion, not just a vague desire, to get rich can do so. How to Get Rich is not a volume of false promises and glib answers like many get rich quick books. Following the advice will be hard work but for the committed it will be worthwhile.

Making Money – A Real Desire

In How To Get Rich Dennis starts by stressing that to do so requires the drive that comes from a compulsion to be wealthy rather than a mere wish that one had money that passes when the moment changes. It is only with that inner drive that the budding entrepreneur will withstand the challenges and tribulations of building a business, especially in the early days.
