For the average income earners, they dream of a better life for themselves. A life free of so many work hours and enough money making everything easy. But often, they don’t have the skill or know–how to accomplish this dream of wealth creation.
Wealth creation is one task that drives the bulk of individuals in the labor market. They’re either hoping for that one big promotion or a big break to catapult them to their dream financial status. While this is admirable and inspires hard work, it is not feasible or reliable either.
To create wealth, one must look outside their salary. No salary earner ever became a millionaire on their salary alone, which means that the true path to wealth forces one to think outside the box occasionally. The ideas we stumble upon won’t always birth successes, and this is where the experts come in.
J.L. Collins has made it his life’s work to give everyone a piece of “el dorado, the city of gold”, their slice of heaven or paradise if you will. He offers readers the tools to create wealth and sustain it too. It will require formal education to do this, and J.L. Collins has broken it down into smaller, simpler chunks that even the layman can quickly grasp.

It doesn’t take a degree to make wise decisions and create sustainable wealth.
The most excellent advice J.L. Collins offers to avoid debt by all means. Debt presents as an easy way out of spending cash because you can always pay it back later, but in truth, debt never goes away if you keep incurring more in hopes that one day, you’ll pay it back. Debt is the biggest hindrance to creating and sustaining wealth.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.
An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned
In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life.

I highly recommend the app.
The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
This is outstanding best app ever and honestly whoever came up with is my app is an absolute genius kudos my gratitude definitely goes out and I’m only on my first week free trial and I’m certainly going to purchase this app annually. Now that I have it, I can’t even imagine living without it.
