Introduction

When a company downsizes, employees lose but owners and investors win — to win the game you must be on the right track

Chapter 1:

Don’t say “I can’t afford It” ask “how can I afford It?”

Don’t work for money let money work for you

Chapter 2: Lesson 1: the rich don’t work for money

Life pushes you around, few choose to stand up and push back

Real learning is not done in a classroom, It is done in the real world

Don’t blame others for your problems, you can’t change them. Blame yourself, you can change yourself

The poor work for money. The rich have money work for them

Passion is anger and love at the same time. Be driven by passion not fear

Most people have a price because their lives are run by fear and greed. They play the great rat race, working so they can pay their bills and when their pay goes up they spend more and the cycle continues in a very similar way.

Most people dont truly think, they react, they let their emotions do their thinking

Many people are not honest with themselves — money runs their lives because of fear and greed. They are never satisfied. The joy brought by money is ephemeral.

Be an observer of your emotions not a reactor to them

There is a difference between being rich and being a high-paid slave. Most people view money as a way to appease their fear and desire but It never lasts long.

Masters dangle a carrot in front of their donkey’s nose. The master has the real control of direction, the donkey is chasing an illusion. Most people are the donkey.

Fear pushes you out the door, desire calls you towards the rocks
