The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires Description
From Booklist
Whatever the circumstances of an individual’s life—disadvantages of race, social status, or economic climate—wealth is a choice, argues Kimbro as he explores the lives of several successful African Americans to plumb the lessons of achieving wealth. Kimbro offers seven “laws” of wealth, including knowledge as an economic weapon, the importance of resolve, the pursuit of special gifts, and opportunities gained through service. Drawing on seven years of research and interviews with entrepreneurs and celebrities, Kimbro highlights the personality traits and habits that have led them to succeed against great odds. Among his interview subjects are Bob Johnson, Terry McMillan, Spike Lee, T. D. Jakes, and Richard Parsons. Kimbro explores their attitudes and early lessons on money as well as the personal challenges they faced to achieve success. Although targeted at African Americans, readers of all races and ethnicities will appreciate these inspiring stories and insights on overcoming obstacles and achieving wealth. --Vanessa Bush

"Dennis Kimbro deftly pinpoints the factors that create wealth, and more importantly, those that allow an individual to retain it. His comprehensive research has culminated in an inspiring, timely, and insightful work."--Dr. Randal Pinkett, Chairman and CEO of BCT Partners, Co-author of Black Faces in White Places
“Dr. Kimbro has crafted a radically fresh masterpiece that cogently articulates the instinct, spirit, and resolve of the Black Millionaire. This instructive and highly readable synthesis weaves together lucid gems of wisdom gleaned from a broad spectrum of experiences and sources, and should be required reading for anyone with even a faint desire to succeed. Every accomplished 'doer' utilizes the concepts in this book…but it took Dr. Kimbro to write them down for the rest of us. Pure genius!"--Valerie Daniels-Carter
"Very simply, The Wealth Choice is the only choice. After the long and storied history of civil rights, what we need most now is a new and relevant vision that shows how to make free enterprise and capitalism actually work for the poor. Dennis Kimbro is giving this generation and the next the password to future achievement in America, and beyond. I, for one, am with him."-- John Hope Bryant, founder of Operation HOPE
