Summary: Disappointment (the letter to their supportline)
Review: Hi, this is the copy of the letter I sent to their support line today. I thought it fair for others to know also:
Hi,

I purchased the Lazy Man's Way to Riches and thought, "Wow, this is really well-organized. I get all these on-line resources he keeps referring to in the book, plus the book, and so much more. This will help alot."

So I decided to purchase the book. And I've read ahead and started using the RSVP process for daily declarations and super suggestions EVEN though the promised references from the "Roadmap to Riches" online workbook are NOT present. As of today's date, 12/13/04 only 2 steps online are accessible when the book refers to at least 52 steps.

In fact, the way the book is written, it makes me feel as if something is missing or that I might be doing the processes wrong unless I had the appropriate steps. I've had the book less than a month, already I am being referred to Step #17 "The Turning Points" in the Roadmap to Riches workbook online.

I was completely ready to recommend this book to similar minded people interested in self-growth based on the yahoo groups I am a member of. That represents about 7,000 people. Unfortunately, until I see this issue resolved appropriately where the author will do what he says he will do, then I cannot.

I am sincerely disappointed that a book would be brought to market promising things, in particular the on-line resources, well before they were ready to be used by clients spending their money.

Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend the book to anyone. I strongly recommend that your access page start including the dates of the newly expected steps and when they shall appear.

Sincerely,

Robert Gratitude

Summary: Cumbersome, yet imcomplete
Review: I bought the Nixon updated version of The Lazy Man's Way in November 2004. The book is in two parts. First is the book you purchase. Then there's a "shadow" book, which apparently consists of workbook-type exercises, and is only available via online registration. The online registration promises all sorts of resources as of December 1, 2004. A month later, save for the first two chapters of the online book, nothing is available, and my emails to customer service have gone unanswered. I did just notice that the book has a 2005 copyright date. I've never heard of a post-dated copyright (have you?); but regardless, if you promise something in business, aren't you supposed to deliver? Or do you just make promises, collect the cash and go into hiding? I guess that's ONE lazy man's way to riches. I understand the original of this book is brilliant. If that's the case, I'd hate to see the title sullied by poor website management and customer service.

Summary: Get the 1973 version by Joe Karbo instead!
Review: The Lazy Man's Way to Riches, by Joe Karbo, written in 1973, was outstanding. It revealed closely held and unusual information, some of which Joe learned in high priced business seminars in the 60's. Joe was way ahead of his time, and you will get tremendous value from the original book. But beware, the 20th anniversary revised edition from 1993 contained lots of extra information, written a decade after Joe's death, and some was in direct conflict with the original text. Before buying this 30th anniversary edition, get a used copy of the original, 1st edition by Joe Karbo from 1973 - there are plenty on Amazon right now.
