LESSONS I LEARNED FROM THIS BOOK:
- PUT YOUR MONEY TO WORK:
You cannot get rich with your money in savings account.
Invest in appreciating assets.
- AMOUNT OF MONEY RETAINED MATTERS:
It is not the amount of money you make,
It's the amount of money you keep that matters.
- ACQUIRE ASSETS:
Rich people acquire assets while poor accumulates liabilities,
Your choices will determine your fate.
- YOU ARE NOT BORN TO WORK FOR OTHERS FOR LIFETIME:
Most people consider this slavery as their life,
Completely forgetting the life possible beyond that.
- GAIN FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE:
Learn about investing, markets, accounting, sales and others.
It will help you make overall better financial decisions.
- WINNING MEANS NOT BEING AFRAID TO LOSE:
Never be afraid to take calculated risks.
Those who always play it safe never made big fortunes.
- PAY YOURSELF FIRST:
Every month, first invest in your income-generating assets,
The rest of expenses should be next to it.
