Salt Lake City, UT—Certified Financial Planner Mark Lazar's book, Pathway to Prosperity: Your Guide to Money and Economics, won the 2021 Gold Literary Titan Book Award. The Literary Titan Book Awards are awarded to books that have astounded and amazed us with unique writing styles, vivid worlds, complex characters, and original ideas. These books deserve extraordinary praise and we are proud to acknowledge the hard work, dedication, and imagination of these talented authors
Pathway to Prosperity is carefully constructed to bring straight forward financial education to a wide-strata-of-readership. This is demonstrated by Mark Lazar's belief that "regardless of your race, color, religion, where you grew up, or current social status, you have the power to change your life in ways you never believed possible." This credo comes by way of the hard work he put in building his own success and wealth. He implores readers to remember, a goal without a plan is just a wish. A plan without execution is a waste of time. Furthermore, financial success is about doing a handful of things just a little better.
Wisdom and Truth are a power combination, Lazar uses both in the book. Truth: "The secret sauce of capitalism is it encourages and rewards hard work, industriousness, and entrepreneurialism while fostering an innovative and competitive environment." Wisdom: "Knowledge is power, and by gaining a deeper understanding of how money works you can make confident, well-informed decisions that will benefit you throughout your lifetime. Let the journey begin."
On the level of human nature, he offers this: "As you travel down the pathway to financial freedom, success begets success, and you'll become more confident and optimistic as time goes on. Just as poverty is a choice, so too is prosperity. The pathway awaits you."

"The bad news is there is no magic formula or get-rich-quick scheme," states Lazar. "The good news, however, is that by building your wealth the right way—by understanding and incorporating sound financial principles into your everyday life and doing a handful of things a little better—over time you will become financially secure."
