His latest book, "Think like a Millionaire", co-authored with leading American author Brian Tracy, is rapidly becoming a must-read for Latino entrepreneurs. Dr. Cruz has also made a profound influence on people through his extensive collection of audio programs which includes his personal development system In Search of the American Dream - A 30 Day Success Plan, a multimedia program in Spanish that takes individuals through a series of steps to translate dreams into goals, and goals into action.
