This is the official discussion for our March book. Looking forward to getting started!

Started my reading this morning and I'm on chapter 6. I like books with bigger print and shorter chapters! So far so good.

I received my book a little early and started right away. I finished for the first time early this morning but was so moved that I plan to read it again, but taking time to pause on a few chapters more intently. Great book. Thanks for the selection.

It's going to be a quick read. I'm through the first 30 pages and I've learned that the author struggled early on in his life and is a HUGE fan of Napoleon Hill. Hopefully, he will get to the meat of his book soon.

I read the Wealth Warrior twice and plan to read it a third time after I finish reading Time Warrior which is also a Steve Chandler book. I can tell you that reading both of these books is already having a positive impact for me. I would recommend both books to anyone who wants to improve his/her life. I would also recommend receiving Steve's inspirational emails. I am definitely looking forward to the live meeting. Thank you Steve for these great books.

I got a few days ago from the 12books group. I'm always jazzed to get a free book. I started it today, and blasted through the first 8 chapters. I also like the large print and short chapters. This book came into my life at just the right time. So far I like his emphasis on service rather than getting approval or popularity. I've noticed that I'm more focused and less worried about what others think if I'm focused on service.

Like others above I love how fast and easy the read is. When Jary said that he was planning on reading it again right after finishing I thought he was a little crazy. Now that I'm getting into it I am thinking I might do the same.

If you are interested in a more detailed approach to changing habits I recommend "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. An earlier selection of the 12 Books group.

I will second that recommendation, Casey.

The fact that the Wealth Warrior is a quicker read should not lead people to assume that it is not packed full and overflowing with good stuff. Perhaps another take away from my first read of the book is that the steps to wealth building are simple and yet still very hard. Simple because they are available to all but hard because too few of us take them. I look forward to the discoveries I make from my second read.

I like the focus on service vs. just trying to please people. I also really like Steve's suggestion to have a "project" to focus on rather than being worried.

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work. - Booker T. Washington

Reading the part on simplicity, I think of the Google Search bar. It is so simple to use, but hides so much complexity from us that we don't care about. As Jobs quote says, "simple can be harder than complex."

I like Connie's comment. I love the paradigm of serving people in order to build wealth. This idea that every dollar we earn comes from someone's wallet. Value is created in exchange and if we wake up each day and consider how we can create more value for more people (service) then dollars will follow.

Really wish it was available for " Nook Books". Haven't gotten a chance to read it yet but I really like the discussion so far.

This is an unusual book. I like it because it is so honest.

He sounds little like the author Steven Pressfield when he says that it was the process of making money that was more important than money itself.

Reading the books of Napoleon Hill had such a profound impact in Steve's life. The books that were important to me that I can remember were the World Book Encyclopedia and Mortimer Adler's "How to Read a Book?" I just could not put them down.

I would like to begin by thanking Steve for his bonus audio "Social Self vs. Professional Self". Ouch! Got a little work to do there...

Another thing that I found really helpful in Wealth Warrior was the idea of "subtraction." In today's era, it seems like it is about adding more or accumulating more. I actually crossed several projects off my list and put some others "on hold." Seems like such a no brainer now! But it was a result of reading The Wealth Warrior that caused the action to happen. Thanks again Steve.

I love how he contrasts the idea of information versus transformation. We live in an information rich world yet so much if what is consumed as information is not nourishing. The non-stop news cycle, wall to wall "reality" shows and more beat us down with bad news or false ideas about what is important. But it is each of us that can turn on or off the fire hydrant that washes our mind clean of the warrior building characteristics. As he said in chapter 15, "I can program my mind one way or the other. Warrior or worrier. It's up to me.....And choice is a beautiful thing." Yes it is indeed, and I choose "Warrior."

Jary,

You make a very good point.

You are absolutely right that there are just too many distractions out there. We have no time to process information but take it as it comes from different sources in whatever form. We have to do our own thinking, which is getting harder and harder to do today.

In a way there are lot of similarities between us and the North Korean people: we are both ignorant as a whole. We are ignorant because we have access to too much information; North Korean people are ignorant because they have access to none to very little.

What good is information if you don't know how to process it? What good is a book if you don't know how to read well?

Here is an example of an info overload in our society. I was to a restaurant recently and I could not believe that just about everyone there was using the smartphone. I was the only one without one and felt like I should not go to a restaurant again without one.

I like Jay's word "honest." The book is honest and that is part of the appeal. Books that heavily influenced me when I was starting out were, "Rich Dad Poor Dad," "7 Habits," and "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership."

I'm about half way into Wealth Warrior and starting to really feel like I'm learning. I also just ordered a copy of "Time Warrior" by Steve.

Again, thanks Steve for the audio on reinventing yourself. I appreciated the explanation of victim vs owner and taking responsibility for the results you are getting. That is exactly the chapter I am reading in the book too! I also agree with Jay and Jary. There are so many distractions -- and so many of them are focused on negative things. As Steve talks about in his book, it's about taking responsibility for what we will watch, listen to, or do with our time. I am looking forward to the webinar on Thur.

I have found I benefit most from reading this book in the morning. It helps me start the day with the right principles in mind.

I absolutely agree Jacob. In fact I try to have some Wealth Warrior time each weekday morning where I can read, listen to or focus upon something that will sharpen my focus. This morning I listened to Steve's audio on Reinventing Yourself. Nice reminder about how we can choose to be an 'owner' or a 'victim.'

I tried listening to the audio this weekend on my iPhone while at the gym but it seemed to be in a loop repeating the first 3 minutes over and over again.....anyone else have that problem? I'm intrigued to hear what's on there since I don't have a copy of the book to read.

I listened on my laptop this morning with no problem. Sorry!

Jay I wish you have yourself more credit! This is quite a bit to organize, and I'm so grateful to you for all the work you put into this group. My only concern is that you are okay from the car accident! Thank you again for all you do and helping us discover some pretty amazing authors! My prayers are with you and your recovery

I'm so sorry, I'm writing as I'm lying down and dozing off. I meant Jacob not Jay

Jacob, I am glad all is well with you and look forward to the webinar if it can be rescheduled. I agree with Rachael...I was a reader before going this group but the 12 Books Group has opened me to some incredible stuff. Thanks for all you effort. - Jary

Adding to Rachael and Jary's comments, I'm grateful for the 12Books Group and webinars you host. Even if they happen in succession, "well it happens, Jacob." Take care.

Jacob,

I was on the call and I suspected that the only way you would miss it is if something came up. Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you are doing fine.

BTW, the 12books emails goes to my spam folder so I am a little late at responding.

I hope we can reschedule since I like to listen to Steve Chandler. He has a very interesting story and style.

Thanks to all for your well wishes. No injures so all is well. Sounds like we will be able to reschedule with Steve so keep your eyes peeled!
