The Richest Man In Babylon, a classic text and quick read created by George Clason. It covers fundamental principles of financial success based on "Babylonian principles". When these principles become habits, your wealth can escalate at a rapid rate. You will no longer 'waste' money. You will incorporate an Investors mindset into your financial life that invests the first 10% of your income, tithes 10% and invests 10% into capital. Then... the rest follows. These pay-yourself-first principles are touted by many as the practical building blocks for financial success and we use these in our Investor's Cash Flow model.
Killing Sacred Cows by our friend Garrett Gunderson focuses on directly addressing many of the destructive myths and misguided traditions around money and prosperity that constantly hold us back. He helps open your mind to truly see how we are taught about money by financial institutions which may not be in your best interest, but in theirs.
His words will help open you up to your own creativity and financial potential.
