So YOU Wanna Make Money - Re-Read A GOOD Book

A few days ago - If YOU Knew Then... What Can YOU Do Now To Make Good Money - I wrote that if YOU are looking to make good money now, then YOU need to get back to re-reading some basics about understanding money in the first place.

Today I decided to put my own words to the test and began re-reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad - that's 10 years after I first read it.

I got half-way through - yes, I too have a busy day... ;-)

Here's what I discovered... the words changed!

They had completely new meaning to what I remembered them saying 10 years ago.

I wonder how Robert Kiyosaki does that...???... ;-)

In Lesson 1. The Rich Don't Work For Money - I was intrigued to re-discover how Robert's Rich Dad put Robert and his friend through the emotional wringer by paying them zero for their work so that they would use their imaginations and learn to look for the opportunity staring at them right under their noses.

They were angry (inflamed passion) and determined to find a way to make money.

And, I was even more intrigued to re-read about the comic-book library that they established as a result.

The comic book library story has lessons that we can apply right now to some concepts we're working on (note to self - shopping mall idea).

Lesson 2. Why Teach Financial Literacy? - is a critical must-read section for everyone... over and over and over again.

Kyosaki has his own definition for wealth (sourced from Buckminster Fuller):
'Wealth is a person’s ability to survive so many number of days forward… or if I stopped working today, how long could I survive?’


Can't wait to finish the rest tomorrow.

Let's close today's thought with an 'interview' comment or 3 from the fifth of our potential virtual Board of Advisers:

Robert Schuller - Pastor/Author/Speaker: Inspiration - Crystal Cathedral
  1. quote: 'Winning starts with beginning. High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.'
  2. quote: 'Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit.'
  3. quote: 'Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas, If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.'
