Morton Fleischer has written a book that is focused on the mind roadmap steps he has followed to become a successful entrepreneur and businessman. From his beginnings as a janitor in the local dime store to now, he has formed more than 20 real estate companies, taking three of them public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

He is an experienced financier, entrepreneur, and real estate investor who has chosen to spend his "twilight" years trying to address the "sticky" problem of bringing the economically disadvantaged into the mainstream of America through education. He is the sponsor of The Fleischer Scholars Program, which is currently being implemented at eight universities (Arizona State University, the University of Arkansas, Washington University in St. Louis, Northern Arizona University, The University of La Verne, Virginia State University, Fayetteville State University, and Texas Southern University).

The Fleischer Scholars Program is a week-long in-person summer enrichment program that assists high school students entering their senior year in making the transition to college. Scholars are provided a unique opportunity to experience college life, entrepreneurship, and business during a week-long residential program.

While Building Your Mental Balance Sheet was written with the students specifically in mind, it can be applied at any age and in any circumstance. The book combines knowledge with a mind roadmap to guide students to learn not only WHAT to think, but HOW to think and obtain success. It utilizes a Three-Legged Stool as the basis for programming their minds to move beyond their current life situation, obtain a college education, become master adaptive learners, enjoy success, and then go back into their communities as leaders and role models.
