But the shelf told me when I was 25 and first met him he said mr.
Rohn in my personal opinion financial independence is a worthy goal
Now he really said that for a reason because a lot of people are having problems with financial independence simply because
They have some moral issues really confused in their minds about the value of money
Or the danger of money or having too much money
Or that the true values of life are not wrapped up in money, so money really doesn't matter that much
And some people have some problems in this area, and I'll admit I had some
When I first started making more money in one month and my father made in one year. I was at first
I was very disturbed by that and
Guess what for a long time? I wouldn't even tell my parents I
Didn't tell him I said, what are they gonna think I make more money in one month
And my father makes in one year how can I tell him?
And I was really
Confused about that I was really bothered by that for quite a while. I think was several months
No because here's when it ended I
finally
Worked up the courage to tell him
How I was doing I can't remember not just how I put it
I was just trying to figure out some way to put it right to break the news to him
So you know wouldn't be you know too great a shock
When I told him what I was doing and what was happening or what was going on they were just incredibly delighted
They were terribly happy terribly excited
And I discovered that I've worried and been bothered all those months for nothing
Because I had this in my mind how am I gonna justify how am I gonna?
You know work this whole thing out. How are they gonna feel and sure enough?
I had just conjured all the stuff up in my mind, and it really was not real
But some people really have some problems on financial independence because they feel
That the morality of earning lots of money is is a very valid question
Every once in a while someone after my seminar says I think you talk too much about money success
And that's not where the good life is the good life is not just money and success and making a lot of money and doing
well financially
And I understand that I really do and I have pondered those subjects all these years
And I don't want it to make it seem like
Just going for money or financial success is where the true values are they are not and hopefully in life seminar
I've got enough in there to try not to mislead people that I'm just thinking of financial success
but
So much, Ashok said to me in my opinion
Financial independence is a worthwhile objective. He said his wife. He said Jim once you get money out of the way
You can't believe the other dimensions of your life. You can work on
Once you solve the money problem
He said now you'll have the time more time
To work on certain other projects of your life that will really start to grow and expand
So he said for that reason I think financial independence is a worthwhile objective
And I know part of its a moral question
There is a Bible phrase that says the love of money is the root of all evil
But I'm sure the phrase is probably more correct than saying the love of money
the love of money
Now when I did start getting some little big big bonus checks way back in those early days my first packet and running, right
I
Wasn't too worried about you know whether or not I was gonna ruin me
One of my friends right his wealthy friend when he started making a lot of big money said Robert
I don't know if I should give you all this big money or not said you know money's ruined a lot of people and
Robert said just tried me one time he said
Let's just see
So we're all willing to go through it. I'm sure that first time
but I
Know it is a moral question sometimes. It's something you just have to wrestle with
But here's what I found out financial independence is not something you have to throw away all of their values to acquire
You don't have to throw them all right now you could and that would be foolish
If there's half a dozen major values in your threw away five to go for one say that it would be foolish
But in my opinion you really don't have to
But now in the moral question for those who press me a little bit about talking too much about money and finance
Being successful I have another question in response
Sharpening up my debating skills, and here's my question
If you could do better should you?
That's pretty good on my side of the debate right if you could do better should you?
Sometimes people use the moral question as an excuse to be lazy
And not to improve
Then on the other side part of it is just the challenge to see what you can become
Regardless of what the amount is a
Man said to me one time well mr. Honor
I'm making about $50,000 a year isn't that enough and I said yes, it's enough if you're bumping your full potential
But if you're capable of half a million dollars a year you're somewhat of a loser
See it's not the amount of counts. It's the extent of your reach that counts
That's what we want to do employ the full extent of our reach
Whatever that amount turns out to be if it's 5,000 year wonderful that if you're really extending yourself
economically doing the best you can and those numbers to not to be
5,000 wonderful if it's 50,000 wonderful if they half a million wonderful as long as you're extending yourself your mental
Personal capacity to its limit whatever those amounts are those are the amount
Because mr.. Chef had this simple simple philosophy how far should you go answer as far as you can how much did you learn?
As much as you can how many books? Did you read?
As many as you can how much did you earn?
As much as you can how much did you share as much as you can?
What should you accomplish as much as you can?
That's a good philosophy
What could I do in compression to what I am doing? What could I do to extend my reach?
Am I fully employed?
good question, and I think that's the answer to
Some of the moral question if you're properly using your eight hours, and you're extending yourself, and you're doing your best
Whatever that amount is that's that's the amount?
But financial independence is a worthwhile goal if you can finally set money aside as being
Such a major object in trying to accomplish and paying the bills
And mr. Schwab said to me mr. Owen, I think the only way to get the money out of the way is had plenty
So I went for that I
Found out the time you've already set aside for labor is enough time to become wealthy
If you're working 810 hours a day that's about it
you can't put in more than about eight or ten, but see if you better utilize that eight or ten and
You double triple core group with your income see that would be okay just better utilization of the time you're already spending laboring
Just a better use of it
Now see if you start throwing your health away by
going for the money and working 20 hours a day and
Sliding all your friends and walking away from your family. See now you've lost all the other values to go for one and
That would be in my opinion
shortchanging yourself
but financial independence
Let me give you just a few clues on financial independence because part of it depends on the plan you have it isn't necessarily how
Hard you work or whatever else you sacrifice to go for it
You really don't have to do that most of us live long enough and especially in this country of unique prosperity
We have chances enough to fairly quickly before too long solve the money problems of our life one of the major reasons
Why most people don't is because they're operating on the wrong plan?
And here's the key it's not so much what you earn as what you do with what you earn?
It's not so much what you earn as what you do with what you were I
Think according to the latest figures the average person in this country now in a working lifetime makes half a million dollars an average
In a working life the question is at the end of the working lifetime. Where is it?
Now if some people got it and some people haven't got it
Right they've both earned it, but they both didn't keep it
And part of it is just simply operating on the wrong plan for financial independence. Here's a good book to get to start
Giving you some ideas it's called the richest man in Babylon
The richest man in Babylon by claisen George claisen
It's good look to start with on financial independence neat little story give you some great ideas
Here's the theme of the book the richest men in battler learn to live on 70% of your net income
This is just a suggestion plan learn to live on 70% of your net income
Now net simply means after taxes because that's the only money you get to see anyway, right?
Jesus master teacher said pay caesar first
And in this country caesar takes it before we ever see it right so Caesar gets paid
But that those were the instructions pay caesar first
Give Caesar
What belongs to Caesar?
In translating this into kids language we call it the care and feeding of the goose that lays the golden egg
Everybody's got to be taught the care and feeding of the goose that
Lays the golden eggs. You don't tear up the goose and divide it up
- that got me a handful of feathers no no
Somebody else I got me a wings. Oh no poor goose. Okay. We only have a goose very long
You must care and feed the goose that lays the golden eggs
And you say well the goose eats too much well that may be true
Maybe we all pay a little too much in taxes. I'm sure right the president is trying to get through the
Congress some way to reduce our taxes, so the goose won't eat too much
And I every goose has an inclination to eat too much, right
That the government spends too much money
the goose is overweight I
Understand that, but we're all a little over
Right everything by longevity tends to get off course
everything
Everything needs to be corrected
and that's just part of life the longer something goes the more tendency it is to
Eat a little too much indulge a little too much
Try to gather up a little too much power. You know that's just natural
Right and the government's the same way right you hire somebody to be a servant in your house
And now they want to take over you saying no, I hired you to take out the trash not to run the houses
But you're not my longevity right people just gather up gather up gather up
You know more power and whatever and then it's got to be corrected put back in place put back in place everything needs to be
corrected our
diets our lives our friendships marriage everything tends to
Get off course
There's a long pretty good and starts to dip after bring it back starts to drift bring it back starts to drift
That's just part of life so the goose does over eat. I understand that and perhaps
You know we do pay too many taxes and the government does you know spend them some of our running a bit recklessly
I understand that
But see Jesus did say you've got to take care of Caesar
because part of Caesars
Responsibility is to be the goose that lays the golden eggs
We do have to have a society we do have to have a government or you have no market
Okay, and among the governments of the world we do have to protect ourselves
If somebody's got to pay for the radar
And the polar Asst
Submarine and the b-52 and the missile somebody's got to pay
See I don't mind picking up my share of the radar
You know and hire somebody to watch it and make sure they stay over there
You got to do that so you got the care and feed the goose mr. Schultz taught me to be a happy taxpayer
Now that was a whole new thing for me
Be a happy tax better, not a reluctant taxpayer
Okay, you got to care and feed the goose
And in this country of course you know first a portion of our
Incomes maybe it's a little too much pay it happily anyway. You know maybe they'll straighten it out, and it'll come down a little bit
Or whatever just pay it gladly
to know that you we got to have the Army and the Navy in the Air Force and the submarines and the
Battleships we got to have a show of strength
We've got to be a leader among the free world. We really do and all that got to be paid for
So I don't run picking up my share and everybody often pay their share
In my personal opinion the poorest of the poor ought to pay federal income
taxes if it's only $1 a year so they have the sense of contributing to
the care and feeding of the goose instead of just taking
They also contribute at least a dollar a year the poorest of the poor
So that they have a sense of helping to pay for the safety and the security of the country
to see what our president may be an Army and Air Force and the governmental structure and
What safety we do have around the world keeps us here secure in our homes right where we can work and enjoy each other's?
You know commerce possibilities trade goods and services and make money enjoy ourselves and have a party
Now somebody's willing to do all that out there while we're here having fun making ready in having parties
I don't mind picking up right here the Sam
Okay, so Cesar's first a Cesar first
Then what you got left after Cesar
needs to be divided up and the book the richest man in Babylon gives you some suggestions on how to
Divide up your money and where to put it so that you'll have a good plan everybody needs a financial plan
Because here's how you surely wind up broke spend all you make so you just wind up broke
Now in those early days way back there. I spent more than I made. That's why I'm making it down to budget finance
- finance the deficit in my spending
Okay
some suggestions on what to do with
What the money you've got left narrow after taxes
One is learn to be enterprising profits are better than wages
Everybody should turn part of their income even if it's from wages into capital and become a capitalist
The healthier the country becomes is going to be a result of more and more people becoming capitalists
Not just letting big big business be the capitalists
now communism teaches that all capitals should be in the hands of the state and
Should we should take it out of the hands of the individuals because they're too dumb and stupid to know what to do with it
All we want them to do is just show up and do their work and go home and behave themselves stay out of trouble and
We will take care of the capital of the government now see in this country
We don't believe that communism teaches everybody should blend into the master the glory of the state
and
We all say heck with that
The state is the servant and all glory to the individual
That's what we believe in capitalism
Take the capital of divided up among all the people and let the people start a business and start this thing going with
Commerce and interchange of goods and services
And you will create a dynamic society unprecedented in the history of the world and we've proven that that's true
but tea communism says
To give the state all the capital
And we don't believe that we believe that everybody ought to be
Capitalist use it in their own way. Don't think of things the state can't think of and they'll react much quicker than the state will
All right the states always two three four years late
Government's always late
And they always spend too much money
Right capital ought to be in the hands of the individuals now if you don't use capital and become a capitalist
And you don't and you don't and you don't and everybody doesn't pretty soon guess what?
Now the capital will all start going toward the state because the society has to survive
Okay now these are just some of my personal opinions, but I've been Tyler Rhodes right I don't even claim. They're right
I just claim. They're my opinions written
That way I'm off the hook
But anyway be a capitalist make sure you've turned part of your income into capital and so you can teach kids how to be
Enterprising and capitalist from the time. They're little
Just little kids you teach them on how to have two bicycles one to ride and one to rent
To earn money
Okay
And teach kids how to earn money not just get a job teach him how to be
Enterprising teach him how to sell one of the best ways to learn about life is just get out and sell something
And little kids can sell teach him how to buy a bottle of soap for two dollars and sell it for three
Right down the street your markets next door
You don't have to go very far
Teach kids how to knock on doors they miss man. I got the soap. It's the finest in the world
teach them how to do that and then teach them all the advantages of being a kid
Some people will buy from you just because your level. They will it's an advantage and the littler the better
So you teach them how to be little?
And you've got to hurry because you won't be little forever right get out there and take advantage
Right so a little kid knocks on the door and says mr.. Baumann
I've got this soap it only costs $3, and it's the best there is
And I'm your neighbor I can take care of you
You should buy it and besides I'm Little
Miss Brown says hey, I appreciate you coming by that's really nice. I appreciate that
But look I've already got plenty of soap
Little kid says well, let me come in and check
The kids don't mind doing that right. I mean, they're they know how to overcome objections. You don't need to give them glasses. They're incredible
Now let the kid makes a sale got three dollars now what you got to do is not only teach them how to earn the
$3.00 how to get the $3.00 by making a sale now you got to teach them what to do with the money?
Now it's very simple what to do with two dollars right set it aside
So you can buy another bottle of soap kids alive makes sense, otherwise? You'd be out of business
That's right
And I know some adults are a little short on that information
So you got to satisfy two dollars kids is okay, then I got a dollar to spend say no
no, if you spend that you'll wind up like most people age 65 Brook and
Then take them to that part of town where people are 65 and Brook and show them
Let them walk around the neighborhood drive around and the kid goes oh, I don't want to live like this they fine now
Here's what you do. It's your money you
Just got to show sometimes
You got to go and touch and look and see what you don't want so that you'll make arrangements over here not
They'd ever be there
With that little loop that movie they came out with where they took the kids to the jails
scared-straight
Let them visit with the prisoners right and firsthand
They looked around saw these bars in the jail
Prisons talked to some of the prisoners and firsthand got somebody say whatever you do don't come here now
That's not some Minister saying don't go there. That's the man saying don't come here. Whatever you do. Let me show you what it's like
Here's what I have to sleep. I can't get out
I've got 15 more years to spend here kids eyes get about this big saying I
Don't ever want to wind up here
See that's good all right and to teach us all we just got the goal where it is where people have had the wrong plan
and
That's sad, right
To look back and say I picked up the wrong plan at age 20
Look where I am who talked me into this clinic I?
Bought the wrong point
So then the kids, okay? What do I do with my daughter say? Here's what you do with your dollar?
Ten cents is for the increase of capital
And everybody ought to have the same plan ten cents out of every dollar should be for the increase of capital
Now see the kid understands this right away says well
That's true if you saved up your dimes and can buy two bottles of soap instead of one you saved yourself a trip. That's right
Now not only do you save yourself a trip some people will sell you two bottles cheaper than one
You buy one bottle for two dollars. They sell you two bottles for 380
Kids how clever then when you sell it you make more money
That's eight
That's why you've got to accumulate your capital because everybody benefits from it
They get to sell two bottles instead of one at a time so it's better for them, and it's better for you
And it's better for everybody
Now you're starting to teach commerce capitalism how to earn money how to be responsible and mainly what to do with
Here's another 10 cents another 10 cents is to give charity. I was really sure to put that first
Right after Caesar jesus said pay Cesar first then pay God
Charity some churches teach 10%. That's good
Like give it to the church and let the church distribute it however or distributed yourself
You know whatever, but make sure you put back part of what you take out?
Charity some people are less fortunate some people
You know live tragic lives, and they need our help so 10% set aside to help those that are unfortunate cannot help themselves
10 cents for giving and a good time to learn 10 cents for giving this when you're little
Could see it's pretty easy to flip the dime out of the dollar
Looks a little more difficult is to give a hundred thousand out of a million
So if I have a million I'd give a hundred thousands I'm not that sure
That's a lot of money
We better learn it now. Just in case you know you get the big stuff, and we'll turn this of it
So develop the habit now of the ten cents
Right kids should learn the first dollar you get you should learn how to divide it up
Because if you let a kid when he gets his first dollar spend at all you've already started them on the wrong habits at it
Now what if they do that the rest of their life
They will be in serious trouble
So you got to teach him what to do with the first dollar the first dollar, or as quickly as possible correct?
What might be wrong?
so 10 cents for charity 10 cents for the increase of capital and
ten more offenses for
investing
Now at first used that 10 cents think of
The richest man in Babylon says use 10 cents to pay off all your bills, which is good
Now you can start using it for investing to pay off all your bills first all a little
accumulation of credit cards and all that stuff
There's a Bible phrase that says the borrower is servant for the Linder and as quickly as possible
You don't want to be a servant anymore
What you want to be as a lender it's not a borrower get on the other side of the table
As soon as you can
The borrower is servant to the lender
Now once you've got all those little bill that I've just cleaned up all the little bills
Arnold's linoleum everything all that stuff just clean all that up
Now you've got some money to invest now here's where you should invest some of your money in financial institutions
so that it provides a larger capital pool for
successful people to borrow and
Start big businesses that you at first can't start build big factories and employ lots of people
there needs to be in a
Collection of capital so that people can borrow it and guess what they will do when they borrow your money pay you for the use
of it so
You teach kids how to put their money savings accounts financial institutions
In Australia not long ago man said to me
I'm recommending everybody put their money in gold take it out of all the banks. I said then you'll bankrupt the country
You can't do something and teach it to everybody else it's gonna bankrupt the country
You can't be totally self-protective you must care and feed the goose that lays the golden egg
If you're gonna drive on the society streets
And if you're gonna drive on and walk on society's sidewalks and indulge in society's commerce and goods and services in the community
You've got to do your share to care and feed
the goose
You can't grab gears and put it in gold and hide it and put it in the ground because if everybody did that we would
Have no Society, so you can't teach something that if everybody did would wreck the whole thing
He said well, I never thought about that I said that cop is
Right now you must you must think you must ponder
What's gonna help all of society?
Somebody says well. I'm gonna grab everything I got barricade myself go off to a cave in the mountains and wait with the gun
well
If everybody did that right then the world would be over and God would have to start all over again what she's doing on occasion?
But most people didn't enjoy the process
So what's gonna help everybody what's gonna help Commerce
What what are what can I do on my part on taxes and my part on savings and my part on helping financial
Institutions that will build businesses and employ more people and keep the health of the country going and alive right you just have to think
Not just about yourself
Right stop thinking is for the development of skill
Now we need to think also outwards about what can I do my part my consent my percentage?
And you can teach this to kids
Put your money in financial institutions kids as well
do you get it back baby sure you get it back they borrow it for a while and give it back to you and they
Also pay you interest on it pay your money for using it kids to sound clever
And then you give them the blockbuster
He says yeah, but what do they take kids?
And you give them the good news
same
Rate as they pay
adults
Now you can start acting big
Because now number one you are a lender instead of a borrower, and you're getting paid as much as a dope
Even if you're ten they pay you the same percentage
It's as well
Now then you also have to teach kids how to be happy taxpayers because kids become taxpayers as soon as they spend money
They go down to the local store spend 55th shopkeeper 1/4
L3 more since
2007 fifty cents here
So it's 53 Finch you got to give me three more sense kid says worth that four who get that money now
At age ten he's a taxpayer
350 got the call from out of his hard-earned money. He earned it his
Kitchen the shopkeeper says you got to give me three cents. It's taxes little kids as well. I'm only ten
It doesn't matter at ten you become a taxpayers
Now you've got to teach kids how to be happy taxpayers, and what the three senses for otherwise they will be confused
so you teach them with the three senses for
So you'll see the sidewalks on the streets everybody can't make their portion of the street
You don't have the equipment
So what we do is we all gather up this money from all of us and we pay somebody to build these streets in these
Sidewalks, so you have someone ride your bicycle on and you can go places
Kids as well that make sense then here's my three cents. I'll make my contribution
It's part of the care and feeding of the goose that lays the golden eggs
And then you also teach kids see see the police car going there you own that
And the guy in at one of your service service called publicly
Servant so @h can you got some service?
Taking care keeping the bullies away when you get in trouble give a call
See once kids understand once people understand where the money goes
What's it for make the happy contribution divide up your money gladly instead of reluctantly
Okay, then you can just change a lot of this inner turmoil and you get more excited about participating and doing your part and learning
skills and growing
So that you become an incredibly unique part of society rather than a reluctant part and a foot-dragging
Part and an unhappy part and a miserable part, and you do it with animosity instead of joy
So you can imagine what the complex of society, and how it would change if everybody had those feelings
But if enough of us do you will be able to affect all the others at least in some measure?
What you do with your money, so?
Now we've got 30 percent set aside learn to live on 70
Okay Caeser first then God 10 cents for increase of capital intends to invest
Live on 70 now once you get doing extremely well, you can even start living on less and less and less
Because the amount is more and more and more
Now a few more tips on financial independence, and we'll take our first break here
they are number one if you haven't done it in a long time put together a financial statement on yourself a
Financial statement simply is a piece of paper divided in half and on one side is all the lists of your assets the value of
your assets
On the other side of the paper is all that you owe called liabilities
Then you subtract one from the other and that's now it's called your net worth
Mr.. Chef ask me. Have you put together a financial statement recently? I said, I never have put together one. He says well
Now's the time to do
And I wasn't too happy about putting together that first one that says well. It's not gonna look that good
He said it doesn't matter how it looks you got to have one
To get where you want to go first of all you've got to know where you are
Say where am I without kidding anybody?
Okay, now this first financial statement. You don't have to publish it in a public record
It's for your own private eyes to see but you've got to see where you are
take a look now when I put my first one together I
Had no problem on the liability side I mean that was long list budget finance all they were all on their money
I'd borrowed from a Paris. I mean it was all on there right on
The assets ride though, I really started scraping the bottom of the barrel I put the value of my shoes on there put shoes
There attend boxed at least right I mean I'm scraping so I won't look so bad right
But anyways so if you putting together your first one right
You know whatever you got to do make it look as good as you can but also
Make sure it's accurate and make sure you take a good look at where you are now
then play this financial independence program like a game be delighted in reducing your liabilities and
Increasing your asset
Once I got the hang of this I started putting together a financial statement about every 30 days
sometimes even less
If I knew the picture had changed quite a bit. I drawn me up a new financial statement
So I could put away the old one here's my new one
you just play it like a game and
Then learn to be excited about reducing your liabilities shell taught me how to pay my bills with enthusiasm
Now see that was a whole new thing for me
He said the next time you pay $100 on an account put a little note in there and say with great excitement
I send you this hundred dollars
He says you won't believe what it'll do on the other end right when they get that note
But he says most important of all you won't believe what it'll do on your end
Now starting to part with your money with wrist with excitement with enthusiasm
he started changing my whole opinion about money and about paying my bills and about capital and
learning to live with within restricted limits it got me excited about it and
See a big part of what you do with your plan is going to be your attitude about it
So develop a whole new attitude about your money
Remember, it's not the amounts that count. It's the attitude and the plan
He got me to open up my first savings account
And he said go down there with excitement and open it up. I've never had a fake music in
Cycle I said, I don't have any money to open up a savings account
He said if you got kidding dollar. I said well. I got $10. He said then go get it open. It's not the amount
It's the claim
So I marched down to the bank and opened up my first statement account now that took a little bit. I'm a grown man and
I said to the lady like the way to tell me there today, but I won't open up her thingies account
She could find what's your name? I said, Mr. Rohn. She said mr.. Owen just fill this out
I said okay, so I filled it out I
Said there. It is she looked it over, and she said that's fine. She said how we gonna get this started I?
said they put T in here
She said ten what I said $10
Now chef said be enthusiastic no see I had trouble there
I'm 25 I'm married my family starting
I'm working, and I've been to college and I'm opening up my first savings account with only $10 now that was tough
But chefs didn't swallow hard and just go do it do it with excitement because it'll change
It's the plan that counts and not the amount Wow
So I put the $10 in I said hey this doesn't look like much
But I said I tell you what before long. I will have the largest savings account in this Bank
She said well if you say so
Guess what within less than two years I
Had the largest savings account in that
In less than two years chef was right it wasn't the amount
It was the attitude. It was my new plan. I got excited about rearranging my life putting it together
Here's a couple more keep strict okay notice
Have you ever heard the expression I don't know where it all goes
Let me give you probably one of the most important phrases of the whole weekend
You've got to know where it all goes
You just got to know
The Rockefeller boys said their father grandfather
Made them keep track of every penny they got in where it went
It's called habit you just got to know
Where it's going? What's happening get a handle on it. It's part of how you become financially independent
Because I found out even early in the game when I was making some pretty good money
I found out you could make $5,000 a month and go broke
Sammy says how could you go broke making 5,000 a month? It's easy spend six thousand
And nine months from Thursday, it's over. Okay, if you're out and go exceeds your income your upkeep becomes your downfall
You gotta know where it goes
So keep strict accounts now then when you can start investing start a little business on the side do a little buying and selling
See some of the people. Just got incredibly wealthy in this part of the country right in real estate in the last 12 15 years
unbelievable
Be on the lookout for buying now
collectively
For us you know in doing business we have somebody who specializes in looking for investment
But until you can afford that kind of luxury where people can look and find places you know to put your money to get best
Advantage of making it useful as well as making money
You just got to be sharp enough on your own to do some buying do some selling
Now so you can even teach kids how to make proper investments
What have kids bought light bulbs three years ago and just put them aside put them away
Went down as a Safeway and bought him and brought him home put him under the bed put him in the closet
three years ago
What are they worth today
Two or three times as much as they were three years ago
How would you like to make that kind of return on your money
incredible
Kid says lightbulbs, I never thought about that. Just buy some and set them aside
By one by ten by a dozen by a hundred take up your money put it in lightbulb set him aside
Okay, three years later. Now. You got some lightbulbs to sell
at an incredibly inflated price
Tits as well. Where do you sell light bulb same people are buying your soul just like every
Financial independence
put your plan together and
Get your family excited about it get the kids excited about it has them excited get the wife excited
This is something that if everybody works on if everybody has a financial statement
if everybody's knowing where it's going and everybody has a
Celebration every once in a while Linda assets are going up and the liabilities are coming down then the net worth is changing
Make it a source of celebration
right
We're among an incredible group when comparing financial status I think the major guy in our groups worth about 50 million
So you know he informed he becomes an
Incredible incentive for the rest of us it's night and somebody around I could carrying that kind of heavy
Right gives you something to shoot for you're looking a I'm looking pretty good, and then you see somebody else's financial things there
Well, I got a little ways to go
But anyway play it like a game get excited about it
Develop the skills and how to earn money thinking of Enterprises investment developing more skill so you can earn more money
But then have an incredibly excellent plan on what to do with your money
And sure enough very quickly the first year the second year the third year. You can't believe the changes little stock to be made and
The major change of courses in your own self confidence, and that's where riches come from self confidence
It's not the growing bank account. It's your growing awareness that you're in charge. You got a plan
You're on track. It's changing because you changed it
It's different because you made it different. It's growing because you made certain commitments to yourself
and
Those kind of feelings are where the treasure is
Because the truth treasure is in personal development happiness is not contained in what you get
Happiness is contained in what you become?
But sure enough what you become is related to what you get
so you can take a look at what you've gotten and
Have great satisfaction that you're the one that designed it. You're the one that defines it
You just didn't let it drift and drift and get into trouble you made the changes you made the hard decisions
so for your own financial independence
Get the book get some other books do some reading
Make it a game play it have a plan change your attitude
Become a happy taxpayer
Pay your bills with enthusiasm
Put all this together, and I'll tell you what it'll start to change you won't believe
Okay financial independence
