Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
Available on Amazon
Key takeaways for me:-
People really do shape their lives though their thoughts - physical exercise improves your health, mental exercise improves your wealth
The difference between being poor and being broke - broke is temporary, poor is eternal
Most people only talk of getting rich, you've done something, keep going don't quit!
Life pushes all of us around., some people give up, some fight and few learn.
I've learned to focus on what I have control over, myself. If things must change, first I must change
Most people want everyone else in the world to change but themselves. It's easier to change yourself than to try to change everyone else.
The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.
True learning takes energy, passion and a burning desire.
Workers pay tax, Investors and Business owners pay very little tax
Master the power of money rather than be afraid of it.
The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich.
DON'T LET MONEY RUN YOUR LIFE
Learn to use your emotions to think, not think with your emotions.
