Eugene Campbell Jeff Lerner Review
Meet Eugene Campbell from Fort Mill, South Carolina. He was a military veteran, and he came across ENTRE online. He’s tried affiliate marketing in the past but had no success. However, he was very impressed by the quality of the ENTRE Affiliate Marketing training. He loves the fact that the training has laid out everything for him and made things plain and simple. He is very excited about this journey, and he’s on his way to complete the training and start his own affiliate marketing business.
Welcome to another episode of Millionaire Secrets!
Would you pay $60,000 to meet the love of your life?
Would you throw away a job and a promising career to pursue entrepreneurship?
Meet the guy who did!
These are just two crazy chapters in the life of my latest guest - entrepreneurial evangelist Mel Abraham!
Mel and I took very different journeys through life.
Mel started performing magic shows at birthday parties aged 11 (and getting paid for it too!).
This was his first taste of entrepreneurship.
However, he went to college to became a doctor at his parent’s behest, but switched his major to accounting after realizing he hates the sight of blood!
He graduated college and went on to work for a prestigious accounting firm.
Even though he worked on big accounts for big clients… something wasn’t quite right.
Mel couldn’t see a future there.
Sometimes in life, you get a feeling that you can’t ignore.
When you get that feeling you’ve got to act on it. Which is exactly what Mel did!
With a strong background in accounting and finance, he was primed to make a business of his own.
But despite his vast business acumen, he values one skill above all others…
COMMUNICATION!
Mel says THIS is the most important skill to have in business and it’s the reason he’s so successful!
Since leaving his accounting firm, he’s done a LOT of stuff.
But not all of it has been work.
In his private life, Mel is a single full-time father to his son.
Despite the time and dedication that goes into fatherhood, Mel has still managed to make his business work.
Through his son, he learned that work and life aren’t about balance.
They’re about HARMONY!
(As a jazz pianist, this is territory I can relate to!)
Despite taking different paths, we both ended up in similar positions.
We also ended up having a lot in common in terms of our goals, opinions, and mindset.
Mel has a LOT he can teach you about getting started in business and succeeding. He’s also got some crazy stories to tell along the way!

Eugene Campbell Review
The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires
Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Dennis Kimbro (Author), Bill Andrew Quinn (Narrator), Gildan Media, LLC (Publisher)
4.8 out of 5 stars
About 35% of African Americans had no measurable assets in 2009, while 24 percent of these households only had one vehicle. Dennis Kimbro, observing how the pressure of the crisis in the credit and housing markets disproportionately affects the African-American community looks at a well-trained group of people who have reached the top of their game and how other people can follow their success.
A seven-year research of 1,000 of the most wealthy African Americans, The Wealth Choice provides insightful and fascinating advice for getting on the ladder of wealth, even when odds appear unfair. Learn about the strategies of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and even celebrities such as Bob Johnson, Spike Lee, L. A. Reid, Herman Cain, T. D. Jakes and Tyrese Gibson found their way to riches as well as what they learned or did not learn about money at an early age and what they had to sacrifice to rise to the top, and the role that discipline played in sustaining their success.
Through these narratives that feature women and men at all stages of life and across all industries, Dennis Kimbro shows listeners how to create lifestyle and mindset that will generate wealth and commit to continuous learning and set goals that align with your passions; make small-time sacrifices to gain in the long run and make smart choices when the opportunity comes up.
A great study of the path to wealth
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
I thought this was an excellent book.
I loved that
* It is well researched - the author surveyed 1,000 self-made black millionaires and did extensive additional 1-1 interviews and focus groups, including interviewing five black self-made billionaires. He also drew on sources of data such as government statistics to underscore key points in the book with data.
* It is politically on point - at the end of his career, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was examining the economic power of the black community, and how economic equality can help with achieving political equality. Becoming wealthy,
for people in the black community is then not just an act of economic self-interest, it is also an act of political empowerment. The book quotes some leading black figures to make this point:
“Never forget, until you are free economically, true independence will always be an afterthought. Today, we, as Black Americans, can live where we want, eat what we want, sleep where we want, and send our children to the finest schools we so desire. But for far too many of us this form of freedom is difficult to express. Why? Because in most cases we cannot afford to. Unless you are free economically and financially, you will never be free personally.” - John H. Johnson
"Dr. King and I integrated the lunch counter, but we never integrated the dollar. And to live in a system of free enterprise, and yet not to understand the rules of free enterprise, that’s the definition of slavery" - Andrew Young
* The approach in the book is centred around finding your strengths - the path to wealth that Kimbro documents is centred in finding your strengths and putting them to work in service to others.
In a nutshell, Kimbro's research says that to become wealthy there are two keys:
1. Take control of your own financial destiny by starting a business and working for profits, not paychecks, and
2. Save and invest.
Kimbro maps this out into 7 laws of wealth (I added the phrase at the start of each law, the phrase at the end is from Kimbro):
1. Mindset & Right Ideas: Wealth begins in the mind but ends in the purse
2. Decide: Decide that you will not be poor
3. Self-belief & Faith: Believe in thyself when no one else will
4. Build on your Strengths To thine own self be true; find your unique gifts
5. Add Value: How may I serve thee?
6. Ownership: Thou shalt own thy own business
7. Save & Invest: Wealth Make thy money grow
I recommend this book.
I agree with another reviewer that the writing style could probably have been tightened up a little for increased engagement, but it wasn't bad - it just could be better. I still give it 5 stars, primarily for the content it delivers and the relevance and value of that content.
Also, FWIW I'm a white guy. I think that the wealth advice he gives is relevant for black people, latinos, Asians, Native Americans, and yes, white people, as well as for people all around the world in different countries outside America. It is relevant for both men and for women - he gives success story examples from both genders.
This book is part of the author's life's work spent studying and teaching this topic. It shows.

Dr. Dennis Kimbro has written a masterpiece that highlights the key themes, principles, and choices many black millionaires have embraced and made in order to become wealthy. In many ways, Dr. Kimbro’s book affirms many of the invaluable lessons I’ve learned from my own personal studies and through the financial hardships I’ve experienced in life.
While I’m encouraged by those who will read this masterpiece and TAKE ACTION on what’s most relevant for them... I’m also mindful of the fact that there will be many more who will read this masterpiece and DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to advance themselves, their mindset , or their financial situation. They will just keep complaining and consuming their way to staying and remaining poor. Sad!!!
In the words of Dr. Tony Evans, “If all you see is what you see, then you do not see all there is to be seen.”
So... Open. Your. Eyes.
Dr. Dennis Kimbro is trying to help you see what has always been hidden... in plain sight!!!
Now, go... read... and DO!!!

I admit to being a voracious reader. It's not unusual for me to finish a book in an all-night session. However, this book is so full of wisdom, it would be a disservice to speed read through it. I'm learning to take my time, really letting the concepts of how the rich think, believe and behave sink deeply within me. This book isn't a novel, its a thought process. Very well done.

I once was blind, but now I see
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2014
I found out about this book at an opportune time of my life. A time where I sought and seek to make changes in my career and in investing in myself both personally and financially. This book has helped me to see opportunities where before, I saw none or very little. If you are open to self-improvement this book is for you and that you will find something in it to take away and apply to your life. I know that I now make a concious effort not to support these big name brands that continue to get rich, while Blacks remain in poverty. We continually choose to give our money away, thereby giving away much of our power as a community. I thank Dennis Kimbro for writing this book and hopefully future generations will learn that it is not all about the bling bling life or other meaningless purchases. Build, invent and create so that our children will have the jobs and businesses to run now and in the future. This book solidifed what I see in my generation and how far we have come away from being a cohesive black community. Sad, but it can be changed! Read it, activate your grit and go forth and be prosperous and share this book!

This book should be REQUIRED reading for every HBCU, predominantly Black high school and middle school in the country. Personally, I have not come across too many books where the author has studied the lives of scores of successful Black people and compiled that information in a true “FUBU” type manner. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this book and will be reading it again. In addition to the data collected and the highlighted lives of some amazing Black individuals that we do not frequently hear about, Mr. Kimbro dropped so many wealth nuggets that it forced me to stop, selah and meditate more times that I could count. Mr Kimbro is an amazing, gifted, talented and cerebral writer. In this book, Mr. Kimbro challenged me mentally, emotionally and spiritually. More people need to be aware of the great work that he has done. If Mr. Kimbro ever reads this, one of my requests would be that he updates it with new Black millionaires seeing that it has been about 10 years. This book is a gift to the Black community! This is why I started earlier that I believe every HBCU with a business school, should adopt this book and it should be required reading for our students.
Excellent! Really helps you see wealth from a different perspective.
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2014
I had no idea how LONG the book was, and have not read it fully as a result. I rate it 5 stars because I only needed to read the first few chapters to get the benefits. It outlined very clearly about the wealthy and the true principles around creating it. Something many law of attraction books miss is the hard work factor. I also enjoyed the reality of having to make it a choice. After reading it I had a God experience of making that choice, then I had my best month in my baby business ever. I am still getting that choice refined and cultivated and it has not been fun really learning how to pay attention to my money fully and acting frugally. It is a true inner transformation is constantly developing as a result of that choice. To expect it to happen over night, is to set yourself up for failure and a get rich scheme. Not this book, it's exciting to know that I too can be wealthy if I make the choice. In the African American population, I believe it to be a duty!

This book totally transformed my thinking about my financial future. After reading this book, I stopped spending money on things that i did not need and shifted my focus to being a saver/investor. Also, I used this book to lead a discussion on wealth building with a group of college students who live in an economically depressed area in Illinois. The discussion encouraged them because the ideas discussed in the book can be implemented by anyone (95% of my students are white). The backgrounds of the people in the book are similar to those of my students. Poverty knows no color. On television, it's often dressed in a brown face but I can tell it come in white too, and not just in a trailer park.

I chose this book because of one of the most influential quotes of the Civil Rights era IMHO..
"White people love money more than they hate n******* "
Undoubtedly times have changed, many would argue that they aren't for the better, some would say they are, but we can all agree on one thing, and that is that traditional slavery doesn't exist for the black american any longer, at least as far as we know. But what we don't know as Americans, and specifically Black Americans, is that slavery has gone from being traditional to economical, fiscal slavery. Just as Harriet Tubman gave hope to the slaves on the whipping end of the cat o'nine tails, Dennis Kimbro gives hope to the modern-day Black American who gets paid in hot dollars.. You know, the money that burns those holes in your pocket? Dennis goes on to eloquently explain our current situation, uses colorful and meaningful stories to drive the point home, and all the while he does it in a language you can understand. It doesn't take a citizen of Academia to pick up this book and take home knowledge worth twice the weight of the book in gold, and you can get all that and a good solid foundation of where to begin becoming the Black man or woman that you deserve to be. Other people of color and even white folks can also take home great lessons from this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone, as the first sixty-five pages of it have more inspirational stories in them than Oprah can tell you about in one show. (no knock on her) It's one of the first books I've read through without wanting to quit, and that says a lot about the author. I hope to be just as satisfied with Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice.
