Make Millions and Make Change Reveals Path to Financial Independence

Santa Monica, Calif. (Vocus/PRWEB) February 09, 2011

This year, many people made important resolutions to get their finances in order. With the economy improving some pledged to earn more money in 2011.

But thats easier said than done. Just where do you begin?

Millionaire author Mike Mann says he can help.

Manns new book, Make Millions and Make Change Secrets to Business and Personal Success, is showing people a pathway to financial independence.

The book is not just abstract theories. These are things you can actually do in your business today and start making money, Mann said in an interview. It starts with the basic premise of how and why and what sort of attitude you should have. Then the book goes into detail about how you should address a whole myriad of important business issues.

And the guide is an easy read, Mann stressed.

It is amazing how simple and small the book is because its teaching a really big and complex subject, he added.

Despite the title, Mann said Make Millions and Make Change is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

Nobody ever said anything was easy, but its possible. The book literally teaches people who are not otherwise prepared to make millions, Mann said. The idea is that common people are capable of taking these steps to be successful despite their background, education, money or geography.

He said his methods have helped people become wealthy in even difficult economic times.

Were teaching everybody and telling everybody what were doing. Were telling them to copy us, Mann said. People can make millions of dollars if you can get the book and the audio in their hands.

Thats why he is giving the book away for free. You can download a copy of Make Millions and Make Change at http://www.makemillions.com.

The main premise of the book is about self confidence and hard work. Its a way of overcoming disadvantages. Its about competition, strategic advantages and best practices, Mann explained. Some people have strategic advantages over others on day one and there are all sorts of ways of making up for it.

Mann, a self-described serial entrepreneur, has been doing business on the Internet since the 1990s. He founded the worlds largest secondary market for domain names, BuyDomains.com, now called NameMedia.

In Make Millions and Make Change, Mann begins explaining in chapter one how you too can start a company in the industry of your choice.

I wanted to explain to people what I was doing, why I was doing it, and conceptually recruit other people to do the same thing, Mann said. It actually does work.

Many received financial books for Christmas. But several Internet chief executive officers say Make Millions and Make Change is the must-read for 2011.

I have found the book to be full of practical ways to think about business, said George Pickering, CEO of localexperts.com. Even for a seasoned entrepreneur, Ive found myself stopping at key points and reminding myself that some of the business challenges I face are because Im ignoring the foundation.

According to Steve Harris, CEO of knowledgepublications.com, the book hits a chord with people out there who have hopes and dreams: the hopes and dreams of starting a business, of being independent and under their own control This hopeful dreamer, the untouched entrepreneur, is one of the prime audiences for Mikes book.

Top Entrepreneur, Turned Author, Releases New Book for All Consumers: The Secrets of Money: A Guide for Everyone on Practical Financial Literacy.

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) December 10, 2007

Entrepreneur, and now author, Braun Mincher has released his first book, The Secrets of Money: A Guide for Everyone on Practical Financial Literacy. The 472-page information-packed book is being considered by many as the "Encyclopedia of Personal Finance" and is the single-source of what EVERYONE (young or old, rich or poor) needs to know about basic Financial Literacy. Braun Mincher was inspired several years ago to write this book after seeing how financially illiterate many consumers are, and how little is being done in the way of financial education at any age or degree level. Topics in the book include: Consumer Credit, Mortgages, Real Estate, Car Buying, Insurance, Taxes, Investing & Saving for the Future, Estate Planning and Keys for Financial Success.

Author Braun Mincher is a young and successful entrepreneur who had the ability to "retire" several years ago at the age of 30, a self-made multi-millionaire, despite dropping out of college to grow his first business. His new book is targeted to all consumers, regardless of age, education or income level, and not just the business or financial savvy, as many competing titles cater to. Using a concise and conversational writing style, Braun reveals what is not taught in schools, at any level, short of a specialized degree. Because of the practical, rather than theoretical, manner in which the information is presented, using real-life examples and case studies, readers will clearly see how items of interest relate to their own individual financial situations.

Would you believe that doctors and lawyers make the same financial mistakes as homeless people? According to Braun Mincher, "40% of consumers live beyond their means, half are living paycheck-to-paycheck, and the national savings rate is now a negative number. We need to reverse this trend through better financial education of both adults and students or we face dire consequences in the coming years." Mincher has developed a highly comprehensive website at FinancialLiteracyQuiz.com with numerous resources to better educate consumers about all aspects of Practical Financial Literacy. One of the highlights is a multiple-choice, 50-question, "Financial Literacy Quiz" where visitors can test their own knowledge and compare scores with their friends. However, those not able to pass the quiz with a score of at least 75% should seek additional Financial Literacy education.

Following Braun Mincher's financial advice will help readers to:

Make more money by putting them in better control of their finances;
Save them money; possibly thousands of dollars over a lifetime; and,
Be better educated consumers when it comes to money.
Anybody can write a book, but Braun Mincher is equally passionate about creating a nationwide movement and positive change of behavior when it comes to personal finance. To this end, he has issued a "Challenge" to high schools and colleges across the country to make practical Financial Literacy classes a graduation requirement, just like math, English, science, etc. Presently, only 7 states have such a requirement. Naturally, most parents and business leaders are in favor of this initiative, but some in the academic and education communities have pushed back with a multitude of excuses. Not easily taking "no" for an answer, and in the same entrepreneurial fashion that made him a success in business, Braun Mincher is forging ahead with his project, and subject to certain conditions, is not only offering to provide the curriculum, but also offering a textbook for each student at no charge.

The Secrets of Money: A Guide for Everyone on Practical Financial Literacy is available through BraunMincher.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders and other nationwide retailers. The ISBN-13 is 978-0-9797003-0-9 and the soft cover price is $ 21.95.

About the Author: Braun Mincher is a young and successful entrepreneur who had the ability to "retire" several years ago at the age of 30, a self-made multi-millionaire, despite dropping out of college to grow his first business. NBC's Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, Inc. Magazine, Success, POV and Nation's Business--have all showcased his talents. Winner of the prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year award, Braun was able to become financially independent by working hard and following his own financial advice, which is now shared in his new book--and others have paid Braun $ 300 an hour to obtain. He now pursues his passion of better educating ALL consumers, and not just the business or financial savvy, on the topic of Practical Financial Literacy.

Three New EU Financial Services License Successes for Leading Cyprus-based Financial Services Advisory Firm MAP S.Platis

Limassol, Cyprus (PRWEB) October 27, 2011

Despite the financial crisis closing in on Europe, Cyprus continues to attract international business seeking preferential tax structures and a strategic European location with high quality infrastructure. One industry which has seen particularly dynamic growth is that of funds and investment firms, especially forex brokers seeking to achieve EU licensing through Cyprus.

The number of international FX Brokers, Asset Managers and Brokerage Houses seeking CySEC Licenses and registration as a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) has seen exponential growth recently. MAP S.Platis has been at the forefront of this development, assisting not only the investment firms, but also in providing specialized advisory and training to the regulatory body itself, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission.

During October, MAP S.Platis continued to break new ground achieving the fastest-ever licensing application success in CySEC to date. Registering one of their clients in less than 3 months, the leading consultancy firm managed to raise the number of CIF licenses achieved in 2011 so far to an impressive total of 13.

Amongst the financial services structures to successfully become registered and licensed this month are Levant and Balkans Special Situations Fund who received their International Collective Investment Scheme (ICIS) status from the Central Bank of Cyprus.

Amana Capital (Cyprus) Ltd which is part of a Middle Eastern Banking and Investment group, also successfully received their CIF License Number 155/11 from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) via MAP S. Platis. Finally, the third company to receive their financial services license Number 156/11 from CySEC this month, via the consulting and guidance of MAP S.Platis, was Jiffix Markets Ltd.

The Managing Director of MAP S.Platis, Dr. Stelios Platis, is proud of the companys continuing achievements. We are immensely proud of the accomplishments of our financial services advisory teams and this latest record proves the in-depth understanding of our in-house experts of what is required in order to be successful in obtaining CySEC licenses and recognition of funds regulated by the Central Bank of Cyprus. Our experience and unparalleled knowledge in this field allows us to deal with each licensing application in a timely and efficient manner in order to ensure its successful outcome. This is why to-date, MAP S.Platis is responsible for over 60% of all CySEC licenses issued under MiFID whilst holding a 100% success rate.

Dr. Platis is however keen to point out that the client has a key role to play in the process. It goes without saying of course that these successes would not be possible if it was not for the valuable cooperation of our clients management teams and their trust in our guidance and procedures. It is the combination of innovative processes, comprehensive analysis and professional efforts on both sides which result in these continued successes that we are seeing.

I would like to thank not only our hard working teams for their consistent efforts but also our clients for their trust in our financial services advisory team and we would like to wish them every success for the future, comments Platis.

Due to the increased level of interest in its services and several client requests, MAP S.Platis will be participating in the forthcoming Middle East Forex & Investment Summit, taking place on the 15th and 16th of November 2011 in Hilton Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This will be an opportunity for all those who would like further information on obtaining an EU financial institution license in order to operate within or from the European Union, to discuss their options with a firm which has experience and expertise in this sector and an impressive track record for successful licenses obtained. All those wishing to meet with MAP S.Platis can do so at Stand No. 37 at the exhibition.

As well as providing information on their spectrum of services, MAP S.Platis consultants will be available to discuss and explain various available models and types of European investment, corporate and financial structures with companies interested in obtaining their European Union financial services license or becoming active in the European union.
