The truth is that money doesn't make you rich; knowledge does.
People who lie to themselves about investing are the same as overweight people who blame their genes for their obesity.
More important than the HOW we achieve financial freedom, is the WHY. Find YOUR reasons why you want to be free and wealthy.
True passion attracts. If you have passion in your business, the right people will be attracted to your team.
One method of staying ahead of rising asset prices and the declining dollar is to think bigger and come up with better plans. As important as financial and business planning is a plan for personal development and self-improvement. I'm often asked to invest in people's business plans, and one of the reasons I turn many of them down is because a big plan requires a big person who's spent time on personal development. In a lot of cases, a business plan is far bigger than the person with the plan - that is, the dream is bigger than the dreamer.
If you're lazy, don't expect much in terms of success. You're owed nothing and success will not be given to you. It's earned.
The rich are those who play to win. The middle class plays not to lose.
Take responsibility for your finances or get used to taking orders for the rest of your life. You're either a master of money or a slave to it. Your choice.
The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.
Jobs are a centuries-old concept created during the Industrial Revolution. Despite the reality that we're now deep in the Information Age, many people are studying for, or working at, or clinging to the Industrial Age idea of a safe, secure job.
Many novice real estate investors soon quit the profession and invest in a well-diversified portfolio of bonds. That's because, when you invest in real estate, you often see a side of humanity that stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and saving money shelter you from.
Demographics show that we are entering a battle between young and old. I call it the 'Age War.' The young want to hang onto their money to grow their families, businesses, and wealth. The old want the tax and investment dollars of the young to sustain their old age.
If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. If your money works for you, you keep and control the power.
Change your focus from making money to serving more people. Serving people makes the money come in.
