Albright wrote in "Millionaire Maker Manual" that "the techniques given within have worked for me and many others because it is the attention to the tiniest detail that makes the biggest difference. It is with a true desire that I hope you will find the manual useful. It is my belief and faith in God that has helped me overcome to become."
