Investors, businessmen and property agents would find this book rich in financial truths. Financial truths are not only for the rich; anyone can apply lessons taught in Rise of the Financial Ruler to achieve their financial goals.

      I find this book engaging and financial lessons are taught clearly and succinctly. Once you read Rise of the Financial Ruler, you would enjoy the story and grasp financial ideas.

Over time, the world has experienced Good Rulers and Bad Rulers but none could be as important and relevant as the lessons of the Financial Ruler as set out in this imaginative storyline. Congratulations Paul on this wonderful initiative.”
