Publisher's Summary

What will you learn from this audiobook?

Tackling nine 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.

Very very good

This book is changing my life. An energizing call to action! Biggest takeaway on first listen is to ask myself, and others, intelligent questions and not to trust the emotions when making financial decisions.

Change your mind

Gunderson breaks the myth of scarcity vs abundance as a means to happiness and prosperity. Helping others and collaboration are his stated aim. Making money from teaching conceptual change is right and good. He looks at money from the angle that it is is a symbol that represents value and is not the value in itself. Great learning and perspective enhancing tool. Pay attention, although his main idea is repeated many times using many examples, he narrates the book at a very quick pace.

-become successful start run and operate a business ,
-deep concept of cash flow
-concept of investment

Garrett using a lot of sources in right time in the book as well ,

You ought to listen to this sonny

Great points made throughout. I can see clearly how wrong in my thinking I was about personal finances. It also helps to spot others' (who may become business partners) way of thinking which could help you steer clear of disaster. Listen to it!

Thought provoking, paradigm breaking & insightful

I really enjoyed this audio book, so much so that as soon as I finished going through it the first time I re-listened to it. As someone who is just starting my career as a financial advisor, it gave me a whole new perspective on ways for me to bring maximum value for my clients, and for ways to craft my finances to enable me to better enjoy/use my money. I've been thinking about the pros and cons of either investing my money for the future (accumulation) vs using my investments to maximize cash flow, at least until doing so is no longer as top of mind as it is now.
