Happy May!
One of the reasons I started this blog was to encourage others to pursue avenues by which to live their dreams. 
Last month, my brother in law casually mentioned a book he began reading as part of a team building exercise at work.  He mentioned that he found the book interesting enough that that he has now included it in his mandatory reading for new team members.  I was intrigued so of course I asked for more information.  To my surprise, the book is entitled The Millionaire Next Door.

In my mind I thought he would recommend a book on leadership, personal development, or management.  Not a book about millionaires.  But, I said I would read it and I’d said it in front of witnesses so I immediately purchased the ebook.  Then I proceeded to experience surprise number two – assumptions are like first impressions.  They can sometimes both be wrong.  My assumption about this book was wrong.

The introduction alone made me realize that this was a book that needed sharing.  This was a book not only about the habits and discipline it takes to become a millionaire but also a book about assumptions. I sent an evite out to family and friends to join me in my perusal of this book. Then to ensure I didn’t allow distractions to keep me from my reading, I promosed to send out reflection questions. 

As I sit at my desk preparing to disseminate the first set of questions,  it occurred to me that this book would make a great series for the month of May.  Thus May 2014 will be the start of  a new series of posts called Millionaire Monday.  Each Monday, I will post at least six questions of reflection from our reading.  I would love to have you join us in this self study of what it takes to not only understand but to be the Millionaire Next Door.  

Until next time,
