(NAPSI)-A new book recounting the true story of a millionaire's guidance offers what could be some valuable advice.
The book, "The 5 Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth" (Fireside/Simon & Schuster, $14.95), chronicles the true story of a millionaire that taught author Richard Paul Evans, when he was young, the secrets of wealth. Evans says these lessons helped change his life. The book offers the following tips:
• Decide to be wealthy.
• Take responsibility for your money-Know how much you have; where your money comes from; where your money is going and what your money is doing.
• Keep a portion of everything you earn-Learn about the power of compound interest and start your nest egg.
• Have a millionaire mentality-Carefully consider each expenditure; believe that freedom and power are better than momentary pleasure; do not equate spending with happiness; protect the nest egg.
• Give back.
Richard Paul Evans is best known for his best-selling The Christmas Box books. A portion of proceeds from "The 5 Lessons" will be donated to The Christmas Box House International.
