Literature is the window to new worlds. Go ahead and Discover.Grow.Invest based on your own knowledge and point of view! Books to me have been, in good times and, particulary, in less good times, my friends. In my experience, there is no better, more constant or magical companion than a good book. Thank you to all these wonderful and exquisite authors for writen them!
This book took me into a great journey of discovering what of a poor mindset I had and how little when not zero, my financial education was.
I understood through this easy to read and funny story what liabilities are and what assets are. Also that the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich is not the only way. In fact, could be the most competitive one.
Show parents why they can’t rely on the school system to teach their kids about money. We do not learn about money or taxes or business at all in school. Which makes me come back to the idea that the schooling system needs a profound change and not only regarding the Financial Literacy but certainly about spirituality, civism, cultural understanding, etc.
Tony is like the most amazing Motivational Speaker ever (we all know that) from his understanding of human beings and how our thinking process and brain work, he went out his way to pill up knowledge and experience from the best of the best on the area of Finances and Investments since Tony knows that it is an area in which a lot of people need improvement and even more knowledge.
He talks about how easy it is to invest money, once you have acquired the basic knowledge for it. He praises ETFs (Exchanged Traded Funds) since they allow people like you and I (without having to have 100.000 EUR at the beginning in order to invest in something and be part of the game) instead ETFs allow us to start small and grow our savings and capital in a compounding systematical way.
Think and Grow Rich
It is a classical and a MUST read! This book triggers a change of mind-set and tells what is it that you need to put from your side to achieve whatever it is you want. You know, in my experience, there is not a Quick Rich scheme. It all is based on discipline, joyful effort, courage and most of all, what Napoleon Hills says ” SELF-CONFIDENCE”.
You have to know what is it that you want and WHY. Then settle a plan in how to achieve it… and there you go! AND get ready, because your body and mind might not like much to leave their conform zone, but to make it happen you will have to leave it and get miles away from it!
The book offers some exercises which you can print out and follow. From my point of view, these are very powerful to remind you daily to never give up and to continue working on your self-confidence!
What I love the most about this holistic change I am going through, is that it combines all areas of life, especially SPIRITUALITY! I firmly believe that without spirituality deep-rooted and growing every day, there is no way to achieve real true joyful success!
Deepak Chopra offers a life-altering perspective on the attainment of success. Filled with timeless wisdom, the essence of his teachings is distilled into seven simple, yet powerful principles that can easily be applied to create success and abundance in all areas of your life.
I am still reading this book and take some pages as daily mantras and motivational paragraphs to start my day inspired and grateful!
For my all Robert’s books are a must-read, now I am looking to read his new book “FAKE”, just the title excites me! In this book, Guide to Investing, Robert refers to his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, but gives deeper insights on how to invest your money and START NOW! What are you waiting for? Every month that passes you miss another opportunity to grow your money and therefore your FREEDOM.
Based on this book a started thinking and creating my first Investing Plan. I loved it! Regarding Real Estate Investments, I love “The Robert’s Famous, OPM (Other People’s Money)” …More to this interesting topic soon in Blog Posts!
I highly recommend to get this book and have it as a blueprint to develop and create your very own personal investing plan! If you need any support and help, I am here to guide you!
T.Harv.Eker has developed some wonderful programs and content to train your mind and change your old negative conditioning about money and abundance. Yes, it really depends very much on your mind how you see money and richness and whether you are going to achieve to get to the financial level you desire, at least it is what Harv says after years and years of studying rich and successful people.
I have read maybe 3 times this book and have always found great new content anytime I read it… Now, it is very important that you are open and willing to get new content, because if your little voice in your mind is saying.. I KNOW THAT, or that is silly, you might like to go back and check your past conditioning, maybe it is the answer to your financial situation now.
Get the book and be open… if things are not great financially at the moment you have nothing to lose. Otherwise is you are going good in life, still go get the book, because you do not have to wait for things to get difficult to take action. Better to act now and get your life in the way you dream and deserve it!
