Synopsis

What Will You Learn From this audiobook?

Tackling 9 specific financial myths, Killing Sacred Cows is a must for mission-driven individuals. It plainly reveals these shocking truths kept hidden by the traditional financial industry:

• A 401(k) is not the “safe” and “smart” plan that you have been told it is; in fact, it’s an extremely risky investment for most people. Learn to create safer investments that are collateralized, cash-flowing, controllable, and aligned with your expertise, passion, and purpose.
• Conventional retirement planning strategies, techniques and products are probably keeping you from the retirement you really want. You can maximize the productivity of your resources, reduce risk, and retire well with the right education and a proper macroeconomic plan.
• Net worth is a poor indicator of wealth and your ability to retire well. What matters is cash flow, and this book will teach you how to develop it.
• Debt may not be what you think it is. Learn the proper definition of debt and how this understanding can immediately increase your prosperity.
• “High risk equals high returns” is dangerous dogma. Learn how to increase your returns and reduce your risk through smart, value-based investing.
• How to identify the hidden factors that are causing you financial pain and misery. Finally, you can treat more than just symptoms and address root causes.

By the time you’re done listening to this book you’ll know more about personal finance than most financial advisors — and this is no joke! You’ll discover how to take control of your finances NOW. After hearing it, you’ll scoff at generic recommendations from financial advisors who push the same products on every client regardless of their unique personal goals and financial blueprint.

Really mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, I really liked it because it had lots of interesting tidbits that "never make it to the scorecard", in other words, intangible reasons to consider factors much, much more important than the "almighty" dollar. And, of course, since the book has......more

Goodreads review by Frisco on January 13, 2018

WOW. I'm a bit surprised that this is so poorly rated on here. I found this to be thoroughly groundbreaking for me. It does a phenomenal job of tying together the concept of value creation and an abundance mindset in purely financial terms, and showing how the accumulation mentality falls short in c......more

Goodreads review by Ronda on August 23, 2023

I'm not giving this book five stars because I agree with everything in it, nor because the audio was well-read--it wasn't really. The author is not a terrific reader. He talks fast too fast, for starters, and doesn't enunciate very clearly. But I'm chalking that up to his passion, because it seems t......more

Goodreads review by James on September 11, 2008

I've listened to Garret Gunderson in person and on the radio quite a bit, so there was little there that was new. However, the material is excellent and bears consideration. The reason people struggle financially is because they're basing decisions on flawed ideas. You can' rise above the quality (g......more

Goodreads review by James on February 08, 2009

This book is where I learned about the difference between producers and consumers. It motivated me to be a creator, a starter, and a producer of value. It reinforced my belief that when you strive to create value in the world that money will naturally follow.......more
