According to Richard Houston, with the right information and attitude, YOU can be one of the lucky success stories out on the leading edge of business development and growth. Of course, in reality, getting there involves a lot more than luck (although a bit of that doesn’t hurt). It takes clarity, guts, determination, courage-and a blueprint for the most crucial preparations and protections. Houston’s mission, following his own successful string of businesses that made him independently wealthy and free to pursue his passions, is to help people obtain the financial education we all need to free us from the tyranny of modern money markets-and from our own ignorance. With that freedom, with open eyes and new awareness of both pitfalls and possibilities, we can escape the rat race to which most of us resigned ourselves long ago. And while it takes some work, it’s NOT impossible. In this fast-reading story of his path from mortgage broker to multi-million-dollar small-business mogul, Houston is refreshingly honest about his mistakes and eager to share the nuggets of insight he deems most valuable looking back at his own business trajectory. Striking a balance between simplicity and detail, $5 Million often reads more like a parable than a business book, full of lessons and anecdotes. Houston hits the highlights, giving as much attention to your vision, intentions, attitude and psychology as he does to technology, accounting, cash flow and operations. While pointing you to other resources for the nitty-gritty in-depth work of planning and managing a business, Houston lays down a roadmap and calls out the stops, signs, and turns along the way that will need your attention. Houston’s personal account of his path allows us to mine the fruits of his experiences, the tips borne of hard-won wisdom, and the inspiration to believe that his achievements are not beyond our own grasp.
