Review: 6 months to 6 figures

This is a book review for “6 months to 6 figures” by Peter Voogd, this review has not been paid for.

“Despite its title, 6 months to 6 figures has very little information on how exactly to get 6 figures in 6 months”

Peter Voogd’s track record of success over the past 10 years is amazing and certainly worth reading up upon. Having trained and led over 6,000 entrepreneurs from students all the way up to business owners is just one part of his success story.

Peter’s journey began in his early teens when he first made his first six figure income, and has gone from there to become an influencer and innovator in a number of business areas.

Although he isn’t that well known in the UK, I decided to give his book a go, it seemed reasonably priced and I was intrigued about the content of the book, especially considering its click-bait like book title.

The book is about 150 pages long and can easily be read in a day, if not shorter and is, broadly speaking a book in three main parts:

• Motivation and mindset
• Getting a team / mentor / mastermind group
• A 30-day challenge

Disappointingly, despite it’s title, 6 months to 6 figures has very little information on how exactly to get 6 figures in 6 months.

I bought this book because I was under the impression that the book would lay out a number of markets, verticals, or channels where I could make 6 figures. Or alternatively would lay out a roadmap blueprint of activities to follow.

Instead the book is a self help book with a number of opportunities for you to fill in forms to get you thinking about your position, your direction and your next steps.

However, there are a number of things I was perhaps unhappy with regarding the book.

I was expecting the book to be specific about the channels, verticals or markets someone should get into if they wanted to get 6 figures; it hardly ever does this. Nothing about retail, nothing about sales, nothing about real estate. There is a big push for multiple channels of revenue; but doesn’t state (except in one bullet point list) what areas to focus in on.

It doesn’t state any activities that you should be doing, or what people you should be contacting. Perhaps the closest it gets is the habits you need.

The main issue I have is that it reads like a sales book for his website, and other materials. Whilst these materials are (as of time of writing) free, it does put the reader off.

The positives I have are about the book is that it is double lined spaced, short and gets to the point; its an easy read with clear legibility/readability. The chapters are quick, fast and don’t stay around too long.

Each chapter has a number of forms that you can fill in, and each focuses you on your specific goals, your position, where you want to be and what is holding you back.

Whilst these are indeed useful, and a bit different to other books; I think this should only form as part of an appendix, and the book should have focused more directly upon the 6-figures concept, what verticals get you there the quickest.

I do like the book, its better than his other book, and I perhaps will re-read it again; but I’m not sure I’d recommend it as a roadmap; but its more of a sales book and self help book than a directive book.

This is definitely reads like a sales letter for another product, and readers should be aware not to expect a roadmap, or markets to look at, or activities to do to make the advertised six figures in six months.
