Secrets of the millionaire mind : mastering the inner game of wealth - by T. Harv Eker
He explains in detail how your money blueprint determines how successful you will be in regards to money.
I also liked his explanation of what he calls "The Process of Manifestation:
Your programming leads to your thoughts.Your thoughts lead to your feelings.Your feelings lead to your actions.Your actions lead to your results.
He takes you through easy steps on how to change your "programming" to achieve the results you believe your deserve.
He also has you stop complaining for 7 days. Every time you catch yourself complaining, either verbally or in your mind, he has you run your index finger across your neck. Reminding you that you are basically slitting your own throat in regards to success by complaining.
He also talks about the importance of passive income. On page 127 he covers how network marketing is a good investment to build passive income.
Increase your financial IQ - get smarter with your money - by Robert T. Kiyosaki
If you believe working hard, getting a good job, budgeting and saving your money is what is needed for financial security this is a must read.
Reading this book will explain why that doesn't work - especially in our new economy.
The leader who had no title - by Robin Sharma
This book is a modern fable on real success in business and in life.
It was a "fun" read packed full of life lessons
The richest man in Babylon - by George S. Clason
This book has reviews stating it is the book that holds the secrets to acquiring money, keeping money, and making money earn more money.
I believe Increase your Financial IQ is higher on the list for suggested reading because it also factors in our changing times.
This is however definitely worth reading. He shares some of the same rules of money's acquisition:
- Start thy purse to fattening
- Control thy expenditures
- Make thy gold multiply
- Guard thy treasures from loss
- Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment
- Insure a future income
- Increase thy ability to earn
- Pay yourself 1st: Save 10% of your income.
- Pay your debtors: 20% of your income
- Live off 70% of your income.
Our prosperity as a nation depends upon the personal financial prosperity of each of us as individuals. ----George S. Clason
Loving what is : four questions that can change your life - by Byron Katie with Stephen Mitchell
This book covers what Byron Katie "Katie" calls The Work. It is truly an
amazing book that helps you realize you don't have to live in pain.
She takes you through 4 questions and how to use them to completely eliminate the pain in your life.
Reading this book caused me to start questioning everything I "believed" to be true. I can't begin to list the eye-opening experience this was.
Instead of assuming I knew what the person I was talking to was thinking I started asking questions. I was wrong approximately 85% of the time in what I thought they were thinking.
This has taken my listening skills to a whole new level. Which in turn has helped me to build better relationships.The Passion Test - by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood
In
the book they have you list everything you are passionate about. From
that list you narrow it down to the top 5 things you are passionate
about.
To help clarify it further they have you write what
someone close to you will say at your 100th birthday about you and the
life you live. How you affected others and what you accomplished.
