Success Secrets of Black Millionaires
The Essential Book Review
By Dr. J. Ester Davis
On Page 108, Millionaire Lesson No. 3 ends with. . . ‘The poor keep score by cars and clothes. The middle class keep score by degrees and titles. But the wealthy keep score by their bank accounts.’
On Page 183, under the Fifth Law of Wealth, Dennis Kimbro writes a quote from Andrew Young: “Dr. King and I integrated the lunch counters, 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.”
On Page 190, “Are these crazy times? You bet. So stop thinking about how crazy the times are and start thinking about what the crazy times demand”.
This entire concept of millionaires and countdowning to million status in a conference and workshop, is the brainchild of Cedric Brown, Kingdom Concepts. Headlining speakers are Tim Brown, NFL great, and Les Brown, the renown motivational speaker.
Cedric, a native Texan, new offices in eloquent style in a place blocks from where he grew up in Hamilton Park. While preparing for the wealth conference duly entitled “TRUSTUP:Business Building Asset Protection Conference and Workshop, Cedric casually handed me a book entitled, “The Wealth Choice, Success Secrets of Black Millionaires” by Dennis Kimbro, who as I am writing this article is on his way to Dallas for this conference. The book was to get me prepared for the live conference Friday night, July 16, interview. But I rarely read a book if I am doing the interview. Upon receipt of this book, the anticipation was too loud to ignore, so I stopped for lunch and commenced reading. Fascinating!!! The time and research poured into this masterful script was evident. Insight and grit were felt on every page. It was extremely “laborious” to put down. Being an impatient personality, I did not want to listen to endless voice mail prompts. On the way home, I decided to stop at a large bookstore in the Northpark area to pick up more copies of the book. It was closing time at this bookstore and of course, I was reminded of same when I entered. I told the employee I was not there to browse. I knew exactly what I wanted. So, up the stairs I travel to the Business Motivation Section. Acknowledging my request, the saleslady disappeared behind selves and returned with a look of wondered disappointment. She had one book! One book? Yes, one book left. . .the last book, with no information on arrival of more. We have indeed many books on wealth, the Millionaire Next Door, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Science of Getting Rich, Total Money Makeover, new and trending money books, bitcoin rising, as detailed in my earlier article “The HOT Bitcoin ATM”, but for African Americans these books are rare as a ‘best seller’ showcasing a black male image on the cover in a pinstriped suit.
Dennis Kimbro acknowledges ‘wealth-of-knowledge’, by offering this book for purchase in bulk for promotional, educational or business use. You can contact bookstores, Amazon or email at Macmillan Special Markets@macmillan.com.
The wealth conference starts Friday, July 16, 2021. Call me 214.376.9000 for schedule and immediate details. Office seminars and workshops will continue throughout the year.
Thank you Cedric.
