A Great Recommendation
Throughout my life, I’ve sought the path to a rich lifestyle.
About a decade ago, I was in college and I joined the local real estate club.
I had no money or knowledge of real estate.
But I read many books.
They all suggested that real estate was the best asset for long-term, generational wealth.
So, I started attending educational meetings at the club.
After a few meetings, I networked with some members.
They recommended that I read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki immediately.
I’m so grateful I took their advice!
Now that I’m older and have more financial intelligence, I can look back and appreciate the book.
If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend you check it out.
It’s helpful to take his words with a grain of salt.
And test whatever theories or ideas you get in the book to see what proves true in your life.
I want to share 3 quotes that have helped me:
1. Your Ultimate Wealth Creator
“The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.”
In the book, Robert explains that your mind is a muscle that can be trained to see opportunities.
But you have to know what to look for.
Therefore, you must always educate yourself.
Learn from people who are successful with money and who have the same values as you do.
Study how they think.
Study what they do.
Success leaves clues.
2. Your Social Circle
“The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work.”
With a reliable network, you have endless opportunities.
Sometimes opportunities are more valuable than money.
Strong discipline in personal finance combined with growing a powerful network is the move.
Associate with people who are “rich” by your definition.
Become known as a person of service and value.
Also, consider learning about credit, other people’s money, and fundraising.
3. A Closer Look at Failure
“The more I risk being rejected, the better my chances are of being accepted.”
To be successful, you have to experience failure.
Your financial intelligence comes from taking calculated risks and learning.
In my experience, losses have taught me more than wins.
In business, you’ll learn from your failures and rejections.
Remember…
You have to get rejected and know that your “Yes” is out there.
The top producers of any company are the ones who’ve failed the most.
The best-performing athletes are the ones who’ve failed the most…
But they got back up and kept pushing for success.
How do you feel when someone tells you “No”?
If you don’t take things personally, then you’re going places.
Therefore, take rejection as a sign to improve your game and keep shooting.
Take calculated risks to elevate.
In Closing
