Here are some shocking stats…
If you took 100 people, by the age of 65, only one will be rich.
4 would be successful.
35-40 had died.
And the rest would be dead broke.
I don’t know about you, but those are terrible odds, wouldn’t you agree?
So, if you aspire to make more money than most people, I can tell you, it all starts with your mind.
I was a millionaire in my head before I ever became one on paper.
There are a few key books I’ve read over the years that helped me achieve multi-millionaire status, and today I’m going to share them with you.
So let’s get started.
Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki
This book follows the childhood life of author Kiyosaki, a child from an average American family, and his quest of discovering how to become rich.
He learned about money from two men in his life growing up.
One was his father (his poor dad), and the other was a friend’s father (his rich dad).
What he discovered was the two had very different ways of thinking.
While his poor dad advised him to study hard and get a job…
His rich dad taught him not to work, as it’s the rich who have employees and assets working for them.
He discovered the difference between assets and liabilities.
He discovered the difference between being an employee, a business owner, someone who’s self-employed, and an investor, and which ones you want to be if you want to become rich.
He also discovered the truth about passive income, and much more.

The Latte Factor – David Bach
One day, Bach, who was teaching a course on personal finance overheard one of the attendees say she didn’t have any money to invest.
This attendee said this as she sipped a latte.
The premise of the book is that if you skip a daily expense such as a latte, and instead invest the money you save…
Over time you’ll have multiplied that money many times over.
In the book, Bach teaches why you don’t have to be rich to live rich.
Among the lessons you’ll learn inside are:

The Success System That Never Fails – W Clement Stone
Written by a phenomenal salesperson, Stone shares his story as well as a host of other success stories.
He states there is a recipe of success that always works.
That recipe includes 3 steps, which are 1. Inspiration to action; 2. Know how; and 3. Activity knowledge.
This system is based on “success indicators”, which in his case were his sales records.
Stone documented what worked for him, as well as phrases his customers responded to.

Principles – Ray Dalio
In 2015 Forbes estimated Dailo’s net worth to be around $15.4 billion.
This made him the second-wealthiest hedge fund manager behind George Soros.
In Principles, Dalio states that his success is governed by a set of principles he created for his life and business.
One of the core life principles Dalio mentions is embracing reality, no matter how difficult it may be.
Having an ultimate goal in your mind is another way to ensure success.
When you have a carefully selected goal and everything revolves around you achieving this goal, you’re far more likely to achieve it.
Having radical truth in your life is another key principle Dalio speaks of in his book.
Your ability to be honest with yourself in any situation allows you to course correct where necessary, which allows you to evolve.
The principles you create for your own life help you make decisions no matter whether your situation is favorable or unfavorable.
Be sure to give Principles a read and apply what you learn.
I guarantee your life will improve year on year.
